Launched in 1999 and crafted by perfumer Antoine Lie, Romance for Men by Ralph Lauren is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that balances fresh spicy and citrus notes with earthy and herbal undertones. The composition opens with the bright zest of orange and mandarin, followed by ginger and black currant, adding a touch of freshness and warmth. This vibrant top layer transitions into a heart of lavender, geranium, rose, and saffron, creating an intriguing blend that is both aromatic and floral. The base notes, featuring vetiver, patchouli, oakmoss, and musk, ground the fragrance with earthy richness and a subtle woody warmth.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to your pulse points and let it settle. The fragrance opens brightly but quickly evolves into its heart and base notes, so avoid layering too much at once. It's best suited for daytime wear, where its fresh and earthy qualities can shine without overpowering.
