Which Should You Buy?
This discontinued 90s stunner is still capable of making knees go weak and starting romantic journeys if you can get hold of a bottle. Despite a name that promises romance, it's a classy, versatile, and distinctly masculine aromatic woody that punches way above its weight.
Glamour clones Ralph Lauren Romance for Men - that classic woody-aromatic of bright citrus-spice opening over a warm, refined musky-mossy drydown. As a budget take it captures the sophisticated, intimate character well; the spice reads a touch sharper and the smooth oakmoss-musk base is a little flatter than the 1999 original.

Seasons
The woody-aromatic blend with citrus brightness works across spring and autumn, holding into winter; high summer thins its spice.
Occasions
Refined and understated, it fits office, casual and formal wear equally, with enough warmth for a date; too quiet for sport.
