Lauren

Lauren by Ralph Lauren is a classic, sophisticated green floral fragrance with a fresh and elegant character. It opens with crisp, slightly fruity notes of pineapple and clary sage, layered over green herbs and Brazilian rosewood, creating a vibrant and breezy top that evokes a wild meadow after rain. The heart is soft and complex, with layered floral accords including lilac, lily of the valley, jasmine, and Bulgarian rose, giving it a delicate, natural freshness without sweetness. The drydown reveals a balanced woody-chypre base of cedar, sandalwood, vetiver, and oakmoss, adding depth and warmth while maintaining a clean, refined character. The perfume is often described as classic, timeless, and quietly luxurious—resonant with preppy elegance and a subtle sense of sophistication. It performs best on warm skin, where the green and floral notes bloom into something supple and natural, and the scent evolves with a soft, soap-like warmth that deepens rather than overwhelms. It’s not overly loud or long-lasting, but its presence is noticeable and pleasant, suggesting a refined personality rather than a bold statement. Ideal for spring and summer wear, it's best suited to those who appreciate understated elegance and floral-green complexity. The original version is widely praised as a masterpiece, though the current reformulation is noted as less rich and slightly less lasting, making vintage bottles highly sought after.
