The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 and crafted by perfumer Honorine Blanc, Tender Romance by Ralph Lauren is an Oriental Floral fragrance that marries the freshness of citrus with the warmth of oriental accords. The composition opens with pear and ginger, creating a bright and spicy contrast before settling into the heart notes of white magnolia and jasmine. These florals are enveloped in a musky base of benzoin, cashmere wood, and musk, providing a soft and intimate finish.
Tender Romance is best applied to pulse points for maximum impact. The spicy top notes are fleeting, so you might want to layer it with a light mist on your hair or clothes to catch its early freshness throughout the day.
