Ralph
Ralph by Ralph Lauren is a feminine-leaning eau de toilette from 2000 in the designer price tier. It opens with apple, osmanthus and magnolia, moves into freesia, iris and bellflower and dries down to musk, cedarwood and white musk. Expect around 5 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Apple Crunchy and tart or soft and red, depending on the treatment.
- Osmanthus Apricot-and-leather floral. Unusual, warm and very wearable.
- Magnolia Lemony white floral. Bright and clean rather than heavy.
Heart
- Freesia Crisp, slightly peppery floral. Clean and a bit synthetic in a good way.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Bellflower Cool, watery green floral. Delicate and unassuming.
Dry-down
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
