Sweet Love

Sweet Love opens with juicy pear and a bright squeeze of bergamot, lifted by a fresh ginger zing. The heart blooms into airy white florals, soft jasmine and magnolia rounded by a creamy ginger-lily note, giving that just-showered, soapy-clean impression Tender Romance is loved for. The drydown is a smooth, clean musk warmed by a touch of benzoin and cashmere wood. It is a faithful nod to the now-discontinued Ralph Lauren, which makes the dupe especially welcome to those chasing a lost favourite. Wearers report the resemblance is strong, though as a budget oil it reads a fraction less nuanced in the floral heart and the musk base a touch more straightforward. Performance is moderate, soft sillage and a comfortable daytime lifespan, in keeping with the easy, unobtrusive nature of the original. Romantic, fresh and feel-good, it is a gentle spring-into-summer floral that suits casual days, the office and easy dates.
