Midnight Romance

Walking into Macy's I saw the huge sign for it and thought "Oh God, if I actually like this, the way they're pushing it everyone in town will have it!" So I finally find the bottle and give myself a spritz on the hand instantly I get chilled fruit (litchi and raspberry the most) with the bubbly effect of freesia and a hint of vanilla but she's really far in the background. This mixes to become a raspberry gummy bear on me, but not sticky or overly sweet at all! Like a sexy raspberry gummy bear that's mature (I know it's hard to think of a gummy bear as sexy). Lasting power on me is 13 hours with one spritz and it's really good sillage! I was getting compliments all day! Also, because of the chilled effect I get, I can see this working for all seasons, so I had to go get a bottle!

***Update*** Did this formula change??? I was ready to purchase a new fragrance and tried this on the other evening. BLUUUUIAACCKKK! What happened??? All the sweetness that was before turned into a sharp, horrible bug-spray smell on me. Please, tell me I just got ahold of a bad rollerball in the sample station... Just tried this on; I really like it. I keep coming back to fragrances that have the peony/dark vanilla combination. They just work well with my chemistry. I like the freshness of the raspberry and litchi--it's fruity but not candy store fruity. There is a sexiness to it because of the warmth of the vanilla too. It's a great all-occasion fragrance that is subtle enough for every day but special enough for evening too. Very wearable...I would like to buy this one.

ive always been a fan of ralph laurens Romance since it came out. I was about 10 years old at the time an my sister always wore it. It smelled great and it really lasts along time. When i heard they came out with new fragrances (summer romance and midnight romance) i just had to go try them out. Didnt like the summer one very much but i LOVED the midnight romance!! it smells like regular romance expect a lil more vanilla in it and other scent i cant really describe. This deff does NOT seem like this is something a teenager would wear. It smells tasty and delicious but very classy and a bit sensual ;) deff a perfume id say for the night time. A lil strong for during the day... Id say the age for this perfume should be (21-45)... One of my favs!! lasts a long time.

Amazingly beautiful and well-blended scent - a mixture of my most beloved ingredients - raspberry, peony, vanilla and powdery notes. No single ingredient stands out, maybe vanilla stays on skin a minute longer than the rest... It seem like it's a must in my collection! Unfortunately, it lasts shorter than 5 minutes on my skin and the silage seems to be truly poor either. I love the combo so much that I'll give it at least one more chance but I'm afraid that it will not last any longer than these days...:((( It is a perfectly elegant and safe scent, but it's much more ephemeral than my beloved original ROMANCE which is also delicate! I never thought that a vanilla-based scent can be so weak:((((

I'm normally not really a Romance lover, that perfume is too simple and clean for me. Also not really into rose scents. My expectations were not high when I received a sample.of Midnight Romance in the shop today... But what a scent!! So classy, warm, sophisticated. It's really a more grown up.version of the plain girly rose scent of Romance. Midnight romance is so much more. I think it's suitable for wearing in daytime, but also stand out enough to wear when going out. This scent is for all the classy women out there, wanting to stand out but not too much. It's defenitely on my wish list from now! ADDED: I'm a quick decider, I already bought a very cute little bottle of 30ml and I love it :-)

Gah I LOVE this!! I’ve been wanting this fragrance for quite some time now & I’m glad to finally have it in my collection! My first order from ebay was a fake as it smelled of pure alcohol and some cheap nasty musk...I was super mad, requested a refund and sent it back. Luckily I got the real deal this time!! Soft, almost powdery raspberries, peony and vanilla. Upon first spritz I can definitely sense the zesty litchi & bergamot, then the Jasmine, and a tad of freesia. Definitely can smell the Ambroxan which adds some depth to the entire fragrance. I gotta say I love RL’s Romance & the flankers! Perfect springtime fragrance 🌸🌸

The original ROMANCE is already a favorite of mine (used to be my sig) but this one may just replace it altogether. I really love it! This is an OMG! of the OMGs on MY SKIN. Projection and sillage is a beast! I think this is the best scent I have ever come across! There is definitely something mysterious, sexy and extremely feminine about the scent which I love and is pretty much what I have been looking for. Well blended and put together. I have been sampling and it is a must have! I need this in my collection asap (my next purchase). I hope I don't start smelling this every where because it might just spoil it for me.

I don't usually like Ralph Lauren's perfumes, but this one was the best perfume I am proud to own. My husband pointed it out and I was amazed on how much I enjoyed it. He loves it too. It's a little strong, but I don't mind. It lasts for at least 3 hours, on myself. I did not like the original at all. I thought it was too light and flowery for me. I thought the original catered more towards the younger crowd whereas this one is more mature. It has a very noticeable powder scent. Which I like. But a little strong on the floral. I still like it very much though. And so does my b husband

I have Ralph Lauren Romance, Tender Romance, and Midnight Romance. Midnight is my favorite. All I get is powdery berries but I love it. This is my go-to church and office scent. Feminine and fresh but with a subtle sexiness. Moderate longevity on me as a skin scent. Which is perfect for church or office. I wore this to church yesterday and could still smell it on my skin when I got ready for bed. It is still in the nineties and humid where I live which might have added to the longevity. This is a safe blind buy for day time occasions.

My favourite ralph lauren perfume. I did like the original romance perfume. However I felt it didn't have good chemistry with my skin and seemed a little too strong for me. This one doesnt have the much floral as the original. It smells smooth. Like a dark vanilla scent thats just a little sweet not too sweet, which is perfect. Smells sexy and it's perfect for cooler seasons. Its perfect for any woman who wants to smell sexy, seductive and ready for a night out ;) Perfect for ages of 18-late 30s in my opinion.

I really like this! I've loved every Ralph Lauren scent I've tried actually (except maybe the original Romance). Of all of the raspberry scents I've smelled, this one smells the most like raspberries. Like raspberries sprinkled with sugar. It's fruity and tart with a little bit of sweetness. It could be a Herbal Essences shampoo scent. There's nothing too "midnight" about it though...it's more of a zingy early morning treat. Afterthought: The drydown is a bit sweeter and slightly chocolaty to my nose.

Lovely raspberry and iris! It's a gorgeous iris, I love it. The raspberries are very sweet - just like raspberries when they're really ripe and juicy, and the flowers compliment it very well, and also the delicious lychee, which definitely adds to the divine sweetness with the delicious black vanilla. It's a lovely perfume. Very alluring. Very romantic and sensual. I am complimented every time I wear it anywhere, and it lasts for 10 hours without needing a top-up. It's really very divine.

I just got my hands on the atomizer special edition and I love it. I would say it falls under the same category as Chance Eau Tendre, although Tendre is much more fresh. They are two completely different scents, but they both remind me of each other because they are soft, sweet, and powdery. I used to own this, but I am 100% sure it was a fake, as it smelled completely of alcohol and a tiny bit of fragrance. Now that I have the real deal, I can appreciate its beauty. Must have for me.

This is probably my favorite RL perfume. A symphony of beautiful delicate notes, it is beautiful on me and I get a lot of compliments whenever I wear it. projection is good and longevity is 6+ Reading these reviews I find it so sad that the fragrance isn't as good on many as it is on me. Love Love

This seriously smells Devine! Very well made! It's sweet but not cloying it's a little bit floral smooth like the jimmy choo exotic flankers without a drop of patchouli for those of you that don't agree with that note! Lovely!

I love it! It smells really sweet and fruity and a little powdery, kind of like candy, but not overly sweet. Very soft and feminine and young. :)

Beautiful everyday pick. Gentle and pretty. Fruity fresh and powdery at the same time. It gives you very feminine and attractive aura.

Delicious. Compliments like crazy everytime i wear this perfume. its sweet but not too sweet and very sexy and feminine.

Love it. Blends perfectly with my skin and body odor. Raspberry, litchi, bergamot. Nicely mixed.

Loved this several years ago when I got it in college, before I really cared about fragrances and thought I'd retry it to actually analyze it now. Immediately, you definitely get the raspberry, lychee, and bergamot, some floral as well. It's pretty 'basic' but pretty. Even when I first got it, I loved the smell, but was nothing groundbreaking, I just loved raspberry scents, and they felt very "me". I'm not sure if I view this as 'cheap' because of the actual scent, or because of the association with just getting it in college, but it maybe reminds me of something you could get at B&BW. I think it reminds me of my favorite B&BW scent back in the day, Black Raspberry Vanilla, and that's what I tried to replicate with this fragrance with a more official "grown up" version it. It's clean and good, light and fresh, but not sophisticated. It's young and casual, and a good beginner scent, a safe blind buy. It's nonoffending, clean, pretty, feminine, and fruity floral. I still think of this scent from time to time and try it out, as again I had my 'era' with these types of scents. But I feel I've grown out of them some by now. Might still grab it if the mood strikes me, but I don't believe this lasts very long and is still pretty 'generic' feeling. Back to the performance.... about 10 minutes in it smells a bit more earthy and aquatic, though still full of raspberry and flowers, mostly peony. And 15 minutes later a bit powdery, but not overwhelmingly so. It does remind me of La Nuit Tresor, but much simpler and less sickingly sweet and more floral and fresh, and obviously without the incense and coffee notes. After 30 minutes, the scent hasn't changed really. It's still.....raspberry and floral. So in that sense, this is a pretty linear fragrance, but if that's how you want to smell, that's not bad that it doesn't change. I don't honestly smell the vanilla too much, perhaps a hint of it in the background, but that's it. This has had basically no sillage after a couple minutes of wearing and I just smell it about 2" from my skin. An hour in and I really smell the iris coming out a lot. 3 hours later and it's a lot fainter and pretty much just on my skin. 5 hours later and I can no longer smell it on me.
