Ralph (2000)
by Ralph Lauren

If a friend had not given me this scent, I would never have purchased it by smelling a test strip. However, on ME this really is more pleasing. It reminds me of preppy little girls playing tennis and walks on the beach. I am slightly embarrassed to like this perfume, but I do:)

I find it very hard to believe that anything could think this smells bad. I understand that it may not be for everyone, but it is so inoffensive. It may not be that unique, but I believe that Ralph does it better than every light fruity floral out there. LOVE IT.

This is my first attempt at actually analyzing a fragrance, so here goes. I think this one has what is called sillage; at least on me it does. I've always liked the way Ralph smells but have never tried it on myself, until this evening. It is somewhere in the mid 30s outside, and that being said, this will be a fun one to wear in the summer. It reminds me of flowy skirts and flowers tucked behind one ear. It is initially very strong on me. I can definitely smell the fruit in the top notes, which quickly dries into a boquet of heady, sweet flowers, dominated by magnolia and freesia, and I think I may have overapplied it. The freesia is dominant three hours into it. Now four hours later that's all I smell.
This is lovely! Bath and Body Works used to make two different fragrances, Freesia and Magnolia Blossom, both of which have been discontinued. This combines the best of those two and perfects it. Ralph to me is pretty, uncomplicated (a plus in one's first actual analysis), and sunny.
And I'm almost 30. Rules are made for breaking. : )

This was THE fragrance in high school, and it's no wonder why. Ralph is young, pretty, well-rounded and pure fun. It's what all the well-scrubbed preppy girls I knew smelled like. On me, it never smelled quite the same, it always had too much apple peel and the other notes seemed to disappear. Too bad, because it is spectacular on other people.

I don't care who this is aimed at, it's one of my summer staples (and I'm well past 30)! It goes well with a shopping spree, a bit of a walk out on a sunny day or with the kitsch green glass apple earrings I have. Fruity, glass-like transparency with apple chewing gum and cream soda float. That's Ralph.

My nose plays games on me in this scent. I really do not get most of the notes. Ralph opens sweet fruity; mostly watermelony to my nose. It is very cheerfull. (does italian mandalins are some breed between watermelons and mandarins?) I can swear that it has no magnolia or linden flowers in it. These two are realitively heavier florals. Ralph is so light and airy. Can you think and orris magnolia musk scent to be young? I got none from it. Sweet summer fruits and white flowers. I got bored of it before the 1 oz bottle came to end but i have bought one for a friend of mine recently. She wears it hapiliy and i got smell from her often. I think same every time; it is young cheerful nice but boring.
