The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2008 by Ralph Lauren, Romance eau Fraiche is a floral fragrance that balances freshness and warmth. The composition opens with the vibrant scent of litchi and citruses, leading to a heart of freesia and marigold, which mingle with rose and lotus for an enchanting bouquet. As it settles into its base notes of white musk, moss, patchouli, and exotic woods, Romance eau Fraiche transforms from a bright floral to a warm, enveloping presence.

How to wear it

Apply Romance eau Fraiche in light layers for a balanced experience. The bright top notes will last through the morning, while the warmer base notes emerge as the day progresses. It pairs well with daytime activities and can be layered for more complex notes.
