I find this fragrance refreshing, hence the reason as to why I refer to Ralph as my sporty perfume. It smells a lot like green apple and magnolia. I don't usually wear this when I go out, this is more of a "sitting at home - relaxing" type of scent. It's a great perfume to spritz on just after a shower or a run because it smells so fresh and clean.

Ah, Ralph. This was my very first perfume. It's a beautiful, young fruity fragrance. I bought some more again last summer- it's a classic!

A fresh, clean smelling scent with some fruits and green notes through top and mid. Nothing particularly exciting here, and I think there's both fruitier and fresher elsewhere. I would say this is summer wear, with ok longevity considering its type. It's not sensual or intimate, just breezy. The floral notes are quite clean and green, not overly powdery, very youthful.

Still this has some redeeming qualities, is quite inoffensive and wearable, the sillage (minor but present) is quite pleasant and smells nicer than sniffing your own skin. It's accessible for those that might otherwise avoid florals, because of the fresh/clean presentation.

I've smelled this perfume before as a sample in a magazine and loved it! Lovely scent for anyone who likes fruity fragrances. Might be too overbearing for people who have sensitive senses of smell, though. One of those scents that you have to experience for yourself to know whether you'll like it or not.

this is one of my favorite scents for women, one best fresh scents out there IMO.

it reminds me of an ex-girlfriend, i loved it when she was wearing ralph by rl. it still makes my head turn when i smell it on someone on the street.

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.
