The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2018 by Ralph Lauren and crafted by perfumer Harry Frémont, Romance Rose is a Floral Fruity fragrance that captures the essence of a vibrant yet delicate floral bouquet. It opens with litchi and red apple for a fresh, fruity introduction, followed by a heart of May rose and jasmine that brings depth and complexity. The base notes of musk and patchouli add warmth and sophistication, creating a scent that is both inviting and enduring.

How to wear it

Two sprays on pulse points will allow the fruity top notes to shine initially, while the floral and woody base notes develop over time. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear when the warmth of patchouli and musk complements the freshness of the top notes.
