Ralph Rocks

Considering I like complex gourmand orientals, I was so ready to hate this perfume.....but I kinda really do like it. Okay, yes, I admit It, I LOVE IT. It is sweet and fruity but not overpowering, like sitting on a hammock in the shade of a warm beach with crystal blue water. I smell passionfruit and kiwi the most, with lemon making a surprise visit. It makes me feel like the cool person I know I'm not. I started wearing it in middle school and I do think of it as the only pretty thing about me during those days of middle hair parts and black eyeliner covering half of my greasy face. I have to admit I do not wear it much anymore, but I think thats because I'm in a different stage of my life and no fragrance can define you completely in every phase. It's like you evolve and that perfume can't always evolve with you. Doesn't mean its not a fab perfume and one that may just be perfect for your life right now:) Keep spritzing!

this is a very fresh fruity fragrance for summer and spring I paid a high dollar for this but it’s worth it to me after it’s discontinued this is a fun beach day or a party day in the summer fragrance!! I have a vintage one that is made exactly in 2006 when the release came out! I love the orange bottle with the blue cap. this is getting even more expensive now after the fact it’s getting harder and harder to find now I will hold onto this with the box cuz I wanted this so badly and now I have.. and I only been starting to get more into fragrances last year and getting my collection bigger

This was my go-to fragrance for a while, until my bottle ran out and the stores ran out and I discovered it was discontinued... Although it was aimed at a youth market, it wasn't as sickly sweet as that might imply, at least to me anyway. For me it was spiced fruit and subtle tropical flowers with a grown up base. On reading the comments on here I am surprised at the negatives and the vanilla/coconut/creamsicle notes picked up by some. If that was the general consensus no wonder it was discontinued. I wish I could find something like it now.

One of my favorite blind buys! Lovely warm, tropical, upbeat juice. Perfect for hot weather. Fruity citrus that dries down to one of my favorite base combos: amber and sandalwood. I wore this in high school, went through a few bottles. Sadly was discontinued. I’ve spent years searching for a bottle since discontinued and finally got my hands on one! Does not disappoint!

I may have confused this perfume with another Ralph Lauren one. I used to wear this back in high school or college, and I remember heavy notes of coconut. This one is lovely, though not very coconutty. It's spicier and floral. It fades rather quickly, but the initial sillage is heavy, I know because whenever I get to work people notice it from afar.

One of the best everyday perfumes I've ever come across. However it doesn't last really long. I got this for Christmas a few years ago and lasted for about 3 months. (Yes, I used it everyday truly was amazed by this result) I strongly suggest it. I don't see how its citrus though. :/ Maybe it's just me! Anyway! It's worth trying.

So yummy, I want to eat this fragrance! The notes are very balanced and well blended, I can detect the orange blossom, the passionfruit and the lemon. It sits close to the skin, so I use it for situations that don't call for perfume, like going to the beach, or a day at the pool.

This is my #1 go to perfume. I have loved it since it arrived. Start to finish, it is just my favorite scent. I never get sick of it. It's so tropical and fresh to start, eventually becoming a really warm smell. It's perfect. Not overly feminine. A+

I know this is discontined, but how lucky i am, i found this yesterday, and i grab it the second i saw her. Loveeeee this orange juice, gonna wear it on my summer vacation at Pattaya Beach

not make a rebudle with anybody, but although it does smell good..... it's smell to me is like it's been done before, estee lauders beyond paradise for men!!!

To me this is a very weird smell. Its like a fresh smell yet musky and a little spicy. I really like it thought I wouldnt be able to pick a single note name.

I loooooooove this fragrance. Used it years ago. I want to know if any one knows of a good similar fragrance to this? Message me.

This is probably my all time favorite perfume ever! It has a warm orangey smell that I can't get enough of!!

I was quite scared to try the perfume because I remembered I'd read Ralph Rocks smells like dill sauce. After trying classical Ralph and Ralph Hot I decided it was the high time for Ralph Rocks, Cool and Wild. The second and the third fragrance is still being searched by me, but I'm glad I got Ralph Rocks. I get why people say it's weird... it is an unusual fragrance indeed, notes seem to be mixed accidentally with a weird result - but I like the result and I haven't expected that! There must be coconut somewhere around here - I can't see it listed but definitely can sniff it! Coconut, quite thick milk. Something green (palm leaf), something orange (orange blossom), something violet even - still no dill ;) but I guess where the feeling may come from, the coconut, palm leaf and hyacinth :) It's a crazy, positive, tropical, a bit strange fragrance but I like it. Sweet one, but not too sweet. There's also a hint of plastic in here... like a doll, something like that - kind of disturbing. But aren't there doll look-a-likes on the beach? ;) Projection-weak Lasting power- too Bottle-I like it.

Opening with a vodka passionfruit RTD vibe, this alcoholic accord burns off very quicky to leave a very tart (and authentic!) passionfruit. I like this passionfruit note very much indeed! If this was a solifruit I would have been sold on the spot. It doesn't take long for Rocks to sweeten though and that beloved passionfruit takes on a more creamy banana/orange blossom tropical breakfast juice feel. About 15 minutes into the journey though a distinct chilliness enters. I normally associate this sensation with lotus however I suspect the palm leaf could have that brisk affect. Much later this chilliness becomes a tad soapy and ruins the flirty fruit juice effect but this travesty is salvaged somewhat by a pleasant trace of sandalwood on the skin. An extremely interesting perfume, I am not sure how it ties in with a 'rock chick', nonetheless it is spirited and a lot of fun to wear every now and again (too much exposure would become tedious). Note - you will get about 4 hours out of it before needing to reapply.

What a cute, nostalgic fragrance! I've still got a 1oz bottle that I will use sparingly. It starts out as a sugar-sweet creamsicle. Citrusy, creamy and mouth-watering. It mellows out and becomes sort of an orange-coconut-woods and stays that way until it disappears. Both of these stages are quite nice, and the lasting power is great. Although almost every new popular fragrance these days is some sort of fruity floral, this scent along with Hot, Wild and Cool are truly set apart. The bottles all look the same and they're all youthful, delicious fruity scents, but none of them smell alike. I can still remember each of them individually. If Ralph Lauren brought all four back, I'd buy them all :)

I can't quite decide if this is a love or merely a like for me. It opens green, aquatic, and has a slight hairspray accord that thankfully burns off as it dries down. I am a big fan of the Ralph line and it's flankers, but this one stumps me. It's definitely a passionfruit fragrance, which I'm not entirely certain I'm a fan of...and the green from the palm leaves is slightly bitter but still refreshing. We're at 4 hours though and it's nearly a skin scent. I am on a quest to move things out of my collection that don't WOW me and I can't decide if this is a wow. It may require another testing. It's more of a tropical fruity one than I expected, to be honest---it reminds me of an LE Escada.

I don't get ANY citrus! And there is something in it that makes it smell a bit rubbery on my skin ... hyacinth, I think. Despite this, I really like it :) I can't detect single notes, it's well blended, and gives a tropical, summery, hot, a bit damp feeling of huge FUN! It is different from most of the floral fruities now - a unique floral fruity with a delicate gourmand touch. And - what is important to me - it's tropical & beachy without coconut! good! Nice stuff! :) It's the 5th fragrance I know from Anne Buzantian, and the 5th I like / respect. It seems I like her nose :)

I opened the cap of an old refillable perfume spray bottle just now and I could still smell the perfume which used to be in it. How I miss this perfume! It is fruity and warm, and there's this sour almost metallic smell (LOL) which I love. This is one of my absolute favourite of all time. Too bad they don't have it now. Why? Ralph Lauren, why? Anyone know of a similar one?

I bought this perfume for my mom few years ago because I was so much a fan of the original Ralph blue bottle. It was a blind buy and I thought it won't be too bad because the original smells so good and it was so popular. I have to say I was totally surprised by this perfume and I actually like it more than the original one. My mom love it so much! =D

I remember when they had this in Macy's along with the other scents like Ralph Cool,Hot, and Wild plus the original. This one wasn't my favorite, but I do remember smelling orange creamsicles like one person had suggested. If I can get my hands on a bottle, I will for sure get it.

Used to love it, but then something went wrong, it is really sticky and sweet and gets annoying after few hours. Maybe I have changed...no doubts that I will continiue to use what's left in the bottle, but definetely not daily and not indoors.

Hard to describe! There's no problem picking up the orange notes. It's very tropical, all you need are palm trees! Great for a warm sunny day at the beach or out on the town in Hawaii. It's not my favorite, but I enjoy it now and then.

I like this Ralph Lauren scent, but it's not in my top 5 RL favorites. It's too citrus-y for me to really love it. If interested in trying, fragrancenet.com sells sample vials. If you like citrus scents, I highly recommend this one.

I tried this one on a few days ago. All I can say is thank heaven! Finally a perfume that does not contain vanilla I hate vanilla. Um,anyways I really like the citrusy fresh opening it's gourgeous. But it dosen't seem to last long.

The best of all the Ralphs IMHO. Again, synthetic, subtlety and sophistication "don't live here anymore", but it's upbeat and partymood-inducing, so for a relaxed beach holiday I would grab a bottle of that without even thinking.

This fragrance lasts all day on my skin, I love the smell .. I definitely smell of coconut (not have) bananas, I noticed something citrus. It remains to say that I love the smell of coconuts!

This is a truly fantastic fragrance! All notes so well blended that makes me feel up freshened every time I use it! Fruity-fresh scent! I could swear I smell tangerine in it!!!

Yes indeed Taliera, this one has really got staying power! And I like the way it transforms into a warm, sensual scent after a while.

Smells like kiwi, mango, and cucumber melon (think "cool" notes) to me. No projection, but a nice scent.

One of my all time favourites. I like this intense orange, innocent and wild at the same time.

For a fragrance supposedly devoid of vanilla, RALPH ROCKS is pretty darned sweet. I had relatively low expectations, given the name and truly garish colors, and I have to say that my expectations were met. Contrary to the implications inherent in its name, RALPH ROCKS is about as tame as they come! The orange here even seems like Tang: could be used in outerspace without any danger of degradation. I would describe the overall scent as similar to what would be the result of mixing RALPH COOL and RALPH HOT together in a beaker: something of a mess. Sort of a fruity floral; sort of an oriental. If you like the former category, you'd probably prefer RALPH or RALPH COOL. If you are more into orientals, then you'd probably prefer RALPH HOT. RALPH ROCKS seems to me like a last ditch effort to squeeze the most out of all of the previous RALPH and RALPH flanker campaigns--not to mention the bottle (but I did). Not for me, but I do believe that I learned something from this walk down RALPH lane, which will come to a slightly premature close as I have no sample of RALPH WILD. (phew!)

Ralph Rocks is a fruity little creamsicle smoothie. At first, DELICIOUS. You pick off the orange garnish and eat it before sipping down that thick frothy orange dream with a girly pink straw. At first, you feel cute and sugar-high with your flip-flopped feet and tropical smoothie. But . . . your smoothie is too big. You can't finish it. Halfway through, your head is buzzing uncomfortably from excess sugar and cream. After another hour, you give up and stomp off never wanting to see another creamsicle smoothie again in your life. Under the hot sun, it melts and oozes all over the sand, where the ants come and finish it off for you.

this one opening like citrus y orange..very nice..but it getting sweeter n sweeter i just could not stand it..all i smell is sweet orange, very sweet..like no balance with other notes..weird body chemistry huh..:( but the only good thing about this perfume for me, it stay on pretty long time on my skin.

I really like this one, it has a very strong orange/tangerine smell but then changes in to a softer warmer scent. It's very different compared to the other fragrances I own which is why I like it. It stays for quite a bit too and I just love the bright orange and blue colors on the bottle.

Unfortunately this smells milk, coconut, orange blend to my nose.It`s not fresh and it`s not fruity either.Somehow it`s just very odd and boring.I don`t know what I was thinking when I bought 100 ml of this...

Overpowering sweet creamy coconut smell... It would be nice if the top citrus notes would last longer, but they don't, so I can't stand this fragrance for more than 10 minutes.

The smell I get from the fragrance is a kind of tropical summery coconut and suntan lotion smell, and not much else. Different from the original "Ralph" fragrance.

To my nose its only synthetic orange notes and then something milky, creamy but not in a good way. A total waste of money.

I got it as a gift, but I don ́t like it :( I like the fruity start but the green and woody finish irittates me :(

Powdery, sickeningly sweet, sythetic oranges. It reminds me of vitamin C pills.

Anybody looking for a Ralph Rocks Dupe? There's a GREAT Vintage Dupe that floats up from time to time on the bay and/or other sites you can keep your eye out for called "Renee Rocks" *wink* I've a bottle of BOTH and I've sprayed each on separate wrists & asked 7 of my girlfriends to give me THEIR analysis after doing a "smell test". I'd waited to do this test & thought a recent dinner party the PERFECT time. Asked each gal individually to tell me the difference(s) percieved between the two , right? Bcuz ima former 30yr scientist, I tried to make each'svtest as objective as possible & thus, brought each into the bathroom and asked while by ourselves, so as NOT to have my pals influenced by each other, LOL Guess what? EVERY ONE OF THEM expressed THEY TOO could NOT percieve ANY difference in the scent ! Yayyy! Wasn't sure if it was just me that couldn't tell the difference. Okay, so passes the scent test - GREAT .... But what about longevity? Here again, NOT MUCH of a difference - at least TO ME? I did give one of my friends a 5ml decant of each bottle tho & SHE reported the dupe's longevity was NOT as long as the original Ralph Rocks on her. In fact, she reported inability to really smell/detect the dupe frag after about 5hrs, versus 10-12 w/the original Ralph Rocks. In any case? I PAID ~$20 for a 3.4oz bottle of Renee Rocks 5 or 6 yrs ago, so even if you need re-apply, its CERTAINLY WORTH IT compared to the cost of even a used 1oz bottle of the original. One.of my friends whom apparently was also a Ralph Rocks admirer told me last week she found a bottle of "Renee" Rocks on the Bay for under $20 - shipped! So apparently, they DO still surface ? IF you can't find one after being patient & checking over the course of a few weeks & IF you STILL want a decant OR a bottle of either Ralph or Renee Rocks ... (?) ... Message me, I share *wink* I know what it's like to yearn for a bygone frag. Besides? Truth be told: I'm just OVER the scent now, LOL In fact, I've got used Large bottles of Ralph (& Renee) Rocks, Hot and Wild - all are the large bottles and ALL are at LEAST half full - that I'm needing to let go of ... in addition to prolly 100 other frags *gulp* 2-3 yrs ago, I started going down a "Vintages ONLY" path & been on an ONLY pre-1950's path pretty much since then. Out of close to 500 new frags purchased over 3yrs, only bought MAYBE 20 post 1980 released scents. Needless to say, been broke for these last few years as well :( Lmao Be well now everyone ......

Since becoming interested in perfume, I have trained my nose to appreciate scents that I wouldn't normally have liked. Had I been a young girl without my fragrance knowledge I may have enjoyed this fragrance. Ralph Rocks is most certainly aimed at a younger crowd. Typical of your fruity and sugary teen fragrances, this perfume certainly fits into that category. In my opinion, Ralph Lauren has played it too safe with this fragrance, emulating many celebrity scents in hope of cracking the teen market. I don't think this fragrance fits the description of a rock-chick. There is nothing rebellious or hardcore about it. It's more a cheap, tropical scent. The initial spray is very citrusy, like a strong blast of lemon and orange. This fragrance is also rather linear, the notes don't seem to differ between the top and base notes. Lasting power is also very poor, which is a shame for this fragrance's price. Ralph Rocks strikes me as a fragrance that you will only find the younger crowd wearing as it doesn't spell out sophistication or sexiness at all. I can only imagine this perfume being worn during the warmer months or to the beach, because this scent is not overly versatile. A better alternative if you like this scent would be Sunkissed Glow by Jennifer Lopez. It smells a lot more expensive but is only half the price.

For the ones looking for dupes, I haven’t tried but I have read several people say that Le Labo matcha 26 is pretty close to this. Le labo is on the expensive side and I have read dossier has a dupe: citrus matcha is called. I guess is a dupe of a dupe. I don’t know. None of them has the same notes but that does not matter sometimes because I just found a dupe for the Ralph Lauren Wild in a store today without looking for it, and when I read the notes they were not the same at all, but even the dry down is identical. Anyway, Le labo matcha 26 is pretty expensive but if you have a store close to you that has it go try it and see if it’s a dupe. Dossier has really good dupes under $40.00 and on sale even less than $30.00. Got my husband an Yve’s Saint Lauren dupe for daily use and it smells pretty good and longevity is not bad at all for the price, specially on clothing. Hope this helps. If I get the dossier version I will update.

This is nondescript fruity to me in the top notes for about 2 minutes then the heart comes in it's very mild creamy tropical white floral, inoffensive, like a lotion smell, so mild, very much seems like a skin scent to me unless you douse yourself, doesn't project at all, reminds me very much of Bora Bora by Liz Claiborne with a faint fruitiness added, you would like that one, although the notes are different, if you like this. Not as similar but the same type, I like better than this Mediterranean by E Arden. Rocks has become so expensive I got a sample of this off Ebay to try, I don't think it's worth it, buy Bora Bora and add some orange or other mild fruity scent or lotion you will get the same thing. I wouldn't wear this or Bora Bora they're both not bad just boring boring. Mediterranean is in my rotation though.

definitely tropical,also to me very watery.I can smell something like sea notes that I don't see here in the composition,but that's the way I can describe it.the smelling reminds me of Tommy Bahama Very cool,but I like Tommy Bahama more than this one.it's too watery. I can't call it yummy like some other tropical fragrances.for example sunset heat escada is much better than this one. it's not bad,but there isn't any personality in the way it smells.the middle notes smell much better than the first notes to me.again it's strange because I smell something like Banana leaf which makes it delicious.it's light and good for everyday use during summer.the sillage is a bit weak,so it won't annoy anybody around you.

This is right on your face mango, how come nobody said that? Definitely a daring perfume, sweet but deep. To me it is the most delicious perfumes of all time. Has moderate to long lasting power on my skin, as I start to believe fruity perfumes will never have the longest lasting power. This one does have moderate lasting power and sillage. If i could define the closest to how this feels, it would be... a ripe mango put in a microwave for 15 seconds, then added a few drops of sandalwood essence. That's it! My recipe for total fragrance delight! This should not have been discontinued, such a shame...

From someone who hates oranges and anything with coconuts, I am extremely blown away. Ralph Hot is my favorite because it smells warm and mocha-ish. I also loved the first Ralph. Bought Ralph Rocks out of curiosity, without any expectations. As I was opening the radioactive orange colored box and seeing the tacky juvenile bottle, I almost wanted to return it. I didn't. Ralph Rocks had me on first spray. It smells beautifully tropical with a creamy comforting dry down. I have long been looking for a fruity fragrance I could wear for my boyfriend. I found it. :) I love Ralph Lauren.

I've discovered the real reason why I like this fragrance: it's in the top notes. I love the aggressive, punchy character of the citrus. But it doesn't take long for that to fade, and then it turns into something that could only be described as weird (compared to the beginning). The dry down takes it in a completely different direction - cool, creamy and aquatic - and aimed at the mass market, to be precise. Much more suited as a teen fragrance, despite the more "serious" start.

Well Im pretty disappointed by this one. I hunted and searched for it based on the fabulous reviews and finally purchased a brand new 1oz bottle for $35. I had nothing but reviews to go on so I think I built this up to be an amazing, original "perfect for summer" scent. To me it was very basic with no stand out notes and very fleeting. Decent but after 1 month I never once grabbed for it. I LOVE Ralph Hot but this one did nothing for me. Must be my chemistry????
