Ralph Lauren Romance for Men is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1999, created by Antoine Lie. Romance for Men opens with Orange, Mandarin, Lavender, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Celery Seeds, Rose, Geranium, and Lily, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Ralph Lauren's Romance for Men carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

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.

About

A vibrant blast of orange and mandarin kicks things off, quickly joined by an aromatic heart of lavender, basil, and a hint of celery, adding an unexpected savoury greenness. As it settles, a sophisticated masculine base of vetiver, moss, and pine emerges, grounding the whole experience with a woody, earthy depth that's both clean and compelling.
