by Ralph Lauren
Romance Parfum by Ralph Lauren presents a soft, sweet, and gourmand floral with deep earthy undertones. It leans heavily into a juicy black currant and rose interplay, enhanced by a subtly sweet musk and patchouli that adds depth and balance. The initial burst of black currant and pink pepper gives it a slightly grassy, sharp edge, but it quickly settles into a velvety, powdery core. There's a noticeable textural warmth, with ylang-ylang and jasmine lending a velvety floral touch, while the patchouli maintains a grounding presence without overwhelming. The overall effect is a feminine, romantic scent rooted in sweetness but tempered by earthiness, making it more nuanced than its predecessors — especially compared to the original Romance EDP and the sugary Mon Paris. It performs best during cooler seasons, offering a comforting, pleasantly persistent aroma throughout the day or nighttime wear.
