The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Romance Elixir by Ralph Lauren is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance that launched in 2024. The composition opens with the vibrant brightness of lychee and mandarin orange, punctuated by pink pepper's spicy edge. At its heart, rose and violet weave together an intimate floral embrace, while elemi resin adds a subtle balsamic warmth. The base notes of benzoin, patchouli, and vanilla create a rich and comforting backdrop that feels like the cozy intimacy of a cherished moment.

How to wear it

Apply Romance Elixir in light sprays, allowing the vibrant top notes to mingle with the warmer base over time. It’s best worn close to skin for its intimate embrace rather than filling a room. The scent evolves beautifully throughout the day.
