Romance is Ralph Lauren’s interpretation of romantic love in a scent, but instead of passionate, it focuses on the joyful, blooming side when loving feelings are just beginning to emerge. The fragrance employs rose accords, water lily, white violet, carnation to give a sweeter touch to the patchouli, white musk and oakmoss. Perfumer Harry Fremont is the nose behind the scent, and the fashion line officially released the fragrance in 1998.
