Romance for Men

Romance for Men from Ralph Lauren, created by Antoine Lie in 1999, is a spicy, woody, floral masculine with a green, aromatic character. Spice, wood and flowers lead together, with green, aromatic and citrus facets strongly present.

It opens with black currant for a tart fruitiness, mandarin orange and orange for citrus, ginger for warmth, lavender for herbal freshness, and ginseng and pistachio leaf for an earthy, green note. The heart is spicy and floral: saffron and cardamom give warmth, rose, geranium and lily a soft floral body, basil a herbal lift and celery an unusual, crisp savoury edge. The base is dry and traditional, with vetiver, oakmoss, patchouli and pine tree giving an earthy, woody, resinous depth, and musk a soft finish.

Its fresh-spicy character suits the milder seasons, by day or evening. It will appeal to someone who enjoys a classic aromatic masculine with a floral, spicy heart.
