The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Romance Tender Notes by Ralph Lauren was launched in 2003, bringing together an array of notes that create a delicate and balanced composition. The fragrance opens with fresh and green accords, which seamlessly transition into the heart of white florals and aromatic nuances. A musky base provides depth without overpowering the lighter elements, resulting in a scent that feels both uplifting and comforting.

How to wear it

One to two sprays are enough — the fragrance's fresh top notes shine brightest in the first hour. Given its balanced composition, it reads well close to skin rather than filling a room. Perfect for daytime wear when you want a subtle yet memorable scent.
