The story behind the bottle.
Summer Romance by Ralph Lauren was launched in 2010 and crafted by perfumer Harry Fremont, blending fruity and white floral notes with a touch of musk and freshness. The fragrance opens with vibrant citrus and tropical fruits, creating an immediate sense of warmth and brightness. As it settles into its heart, delicate florals emerge, balanced by subtle spicy accents that add depth without overpowering the composition. The base notes of musk provide a gentle, enveloping finish.
Summer Romance is best applied lightly to pulse points. The fruity top notes are most noticeable within the first hour, so reapply if you want that vibrant freshness throughout the day. It's ideal for daytime wear when you want a light, refreshing scent.
