Romance Eau de Parfum Intense

I was hesitant to buy this fragrance because of the reviews but I am glad I purchased a full bottle. Listen, there is NOTHING new about this fragrance. Romance Intense does not stand out from the crowd, but it is this factor that reeled me in. Romance Eau de Parfum Intense smells like the department stores of my childhood. To be exact, it reminds me of a specific mall in LA where I'd enter the mall through Robinson's May and was hit with perfumed air comprised of a cacophony of the latest and greatest. The scent happened all at once, it was chaotic, but it smelled SO GOOD and even though I could not pick out one scent in particular, I appreciated the slice of luxury I was able to enjoy in those moments. This fragrance smells like a perfume card found in the bottom of my purse as well as a fragrance I smell flipping through magazines that prompts me to peel back the sticker and sniff. This is a childhood memory in a bottle and I am so here for it.

Really like this one! I got a little sample and after spray you get the fruity notes which is very refreshing then when this settles I started smelling more of the rose and the florals, I am very picky with rose notes but this one is a very delightful rose and florals scent, very subtle very demure! Once it dried down like after 4 hrs I started getting the woody and vanilla notes but also in a very femenine and subtle way! After 7hrs it's a woody skin scent! I did not got a lot of the patchouli which I don't mind tbh.

I love to layer this scene with Kayali’s Vanilla Candy Rock sugar for a romantic date night. Kayali sweetens it up to my liking for some girlyness and the notes dance well together. This scent doesn’t last very long but I love how deep and romantic it feels. Certainly for cooler and darker evenings. I wouldn’t wear in the summer. On its own, it is a 100% unisex fragrance. It is sexy and intense. This smells like an expensive candlelit dinner.

Ralph does perfumes so well, a pleasant soft romantic rose with black currant fruity sweetness and citrus waves of zesty bergamot waft for the senses. This is 1 of few florals I love. The florals are not overbearing and they dance softly like a warm spring sunset as they compliment the citrus around the 2hr dry down sandalwood and vanilla are lightly hugging you with the fruity florals still present. 7/10

smells great out of the box and ages even better! i’ve gotten so many compliments and this has been my go to choice for over a year now. it definitely isn’t anything crazy but that works for me and my current lifestyle.
