Ralph Lauren's Romance line has been a staple of accessible luxury fragrances since its 1992 debut, known for delivering polished, wearable florals at accessible prices. This 2017 holiday edition updates the original with seasonal touches while maintaining the house's signature approach to feminine fragrance.

Romance Holiday opens with a bright, slightly spiced floral burst from chamomile, freesia, and ginger, with lemon adding a crisp edge. The heart settles into a classic white floral arrangement of carnation, lily, and lotus, grounded by violet for depth. The base combines exotic woods and patchouli with moss and musk, creating an earthy finish that anchors the florals without overwhelming them. This is a straightforward floral with woody, earthy undertones rather than anything particularly unusual or complex.

This works best for someone who wants a clean, recognizable floral that leans slightly warm and grounded. It's appropriate for daily wear through evening, though the moderate projection of an EDT means it won't project aggressively in either direction. If you appreciate florals that feel both familiar and slightly textured, this limited edition suits The Homesteader, The Tactician, and The Mystic.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
Chamomile
Chamomile
Warm, apple-like, and slightly sweet, chamomile has a soft, herbal comfort that is instantly calming. Roman chamomile is fruitier; German chamomile is more herbal. Both add a gentle, honey-adjacent warmth to compositions. Used in soft florals and woody orientals to add a natural, approachable sweetness.
Freesia
Freesia
Bright, clean, and slightly peppery, freesia is a springtime flower with a fresh, almost citrusy edge that prevents it from reading as purely sweet. It's one of the more versatile florals, sitting comfortably in both delicate feminine compositions and fresh unisex fragrances. Approachable and elegant simultaneously.
Ginger
Ginger
Warm, zesty, and slightly medicinal with a bite that sits between spice and citrus. Ginger root adds a lively, invigorating quality to fragrances, it energises rather than soothes. Depending on how it's used, it can read as fresh and zingy or warm and earthy, making it unusually versatile across fragrance families.
Lemon
Lemon
Sharp, clean, and instantly familiar, the pure zest of fresh-cut lemon peel, not the sugary juice. In perfumery it reads as crisp and energising rather than sweet, and is often used to amplify other light notes. It fades quickly, so it's almost always a top note that makes a striking first impression.
Rose
Rose
The queen of floral notes and the most-used ingredient in fine perfumery. Real rose is simultaneously velvety, honeyed, and slightly spicy, nothing like the synthetic candy version. Depending on the variety used, it can anchor a composition or drift through it like a ghost, adding warmth without dominating.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Carnation
Carnation
Spicy, clove-like, and slightly powdery, carnation is one of perfumery's oldest floral notes, with a warm, almost peppery character that distinguishes it from softer flowers. It has a vintage, slightly old-fashioned quality that is coming back into fashion. Think pressed flowers in an old book, warm and complex.
Lily
Lily
Grand, creamy, and slightly spicy, Oriental lily (Stargazer, Casablanca) is one of the most powerful natural flowers, with a heady, complex sweetness that fills a room. White lily is softer and more transparent. Both add drama and elegance to floral compositions, though they require careful handling to avoid becoming oppressive.
Lotus
Lotus
Serene, aquatic, and faintly sweet, lotus sits between a water lily and a white floral, with a cool, meditative quality. It's simultaneously clean and warm, suggesting the scent of still water and temple incense. Frequently found in Asian-influenced and spa-inspired fragrances for its calm, contemplative character.
Violet
Violet
Sweet, powdery, and faintly green, violet sits between floral and earthy in a way that feels distinctly old-world glamorous. The leaf and the flower smell quite different: the flower is sugary and delicate, while violet leaf is fresh and slightly vegetal. Together they create a note that feels both nostalgic and current.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Exotic Woods
Exotic Woods
Moss
Moss
Damp, green, and slightly bitter with a cool, shadowy quality, moss is nature's version of depth in perfumery. Oakmoss and tree moss both add a forest-floor complexity that anchors compositions in something real. Essential to classic chypre fragrances and the inspiration for countless green woody accords.
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
Patchouli
Patchouli
Dense, earthy, and darkly sweet, patchouli is the scent of damp soil and dried herbs with an almost chocolatey richness. It polarizes people because in high concentrations it's overwhelming, but as a supporting note it adds depth and longevity that almost nothing else can match. The backbone of countless oriental and chypre fragrances.
