Structure and Composition
Romance Elixir opens with a radiant blend of green mandarin, pink pepper, bergamot, and lychee. This combination creates a fresh and slightly tangy impression, softened by subtle spice and a burst of tropical sweetness. The transition into the heart introduces a floral and resinous complexity. Rose and violet form the central bouquet, joined by juicy raspberry and aromatic elemi. The progression feels smooth, with the fruit and floral tones folding gently into one another.
The fragrance settles into a base of patchouli, vanilla, and benzoin. This foundation provides depth, warmth, and a slightly balsamic texture. The finish is velvety, with a quiet intensity that stays close to the skin without becoming overpowering.
Presentation and Format
Romance Elixir is housed in a refined glass flacon that maintains the visual cues of the Romance collection, enhanced by a deeper hue that reflects its intensified character. The bottle conveys clarity, balance, and a timeless silhouette, aligned with Ralph Lauren’s signature aesthetic.
