Midnight Romance
by Ralph Lauren
Midnight Romance by Ralph Lauren is a light, fruity-floral fragrance centered around sweet raspberry, litchi, and peony, blended with a soft vanilla and iris base. It presents a fresh, youthful, and feminine profile with a powdery finish, evoking a serene, dewy spring day—ideal for casual wear, office settings, or relaxed outings. The scent is delicate and linear, with minimal transformation over time, and performs best as a subtle, skin-scent intimacy. While its sillage and longevity are consistently described as weak, it often surprises users with a pleasantly refined dry-down that feels airy and clean, not cloying. The fragrance's simplistic, accessible profile makes it most appealing to those who enjoy gentle, sweet, and non-intense scents—particularly women in their late teens to late 30s seeking a safe, everyday option.
