Romance for Men

safe and unique at the same time. romance is a discontinued gem that i found in a little store a month ago for a great price. it's one of the best spring fragrances ever, for me romance is a true masterpiece. when i sniffed it for the first time i thought "ok, it's good, safe..", but i realized i couldnt stop smelling my wrist again and again. it's fresh-citrusy in the opening, but in the middle we have a great mix of geranuim, soft vetiver and oakmoss, saffron, rose..it's a superb blend, one of my favourite fresh-woody scents i ever come across. and also it's very masculine and safe, it has something from the 90's but you can wear it easily nowadays. the picture i have from this edt is a walk in the woods with a beautiful girl during a spring afternoon. it's pretty hard to find something similar, because it has something unique but not so daring. the only fragrance that gave me the same vibe is Acqua di Gio Essenza. they are not identical but play in the same league. Essenza has the acquatic notes more amplified, in Romance the woody notes are more prominent. feel free to disagree. performance is good in longevity and sillage, for formal and casual situation, daytime better. spring and summer are the best seasons for Romance. age group: 25 and up. so happy to have it in my collection! profumo fantastico, fresco, rinvigorente, romantico e bilanciato. scent-9 long-8 sillage-8 versatility-8,5 uniqueness-8,5 bottle-7 compliment factor- 7,5 my vote-9 in one word- romantic alternative- acqua di gio essenza Ps: i had Cosmair and luxury product version. They are absolutely the same!

How boring would the world be if everyone liked the same things? We all have different tastes. And we all like things that perhaps at face value might not be great, but are nevertheless dear to us because of our individual experiences. This is why your favorite artists as a teen always strike the same chord with you, no matter how old you are when you hear them. Perhaps that is true for me with this fragrance, but in my opinion, Ralph Lauren Romance is the perfect cologne. It's woody, spicy, and sweet. Delicate and nuanced. It was the first cologne I ever bought and nothing else has ever compared. When my friends were wearing Curve, Aqua di Gio, Abercrombie & Fitch, and the like, this was always my choice. I still have a bottle and wear it now on special occasions. Over the years I have bought several bottles (new, used, testers) and returned all of them. None smelled anything like the blend I bought in 2002, and I am convinced this scent will never be reproduced again. If you are lucky enough to have an original bottle, enjoy this rare treasure. ***Scents, like tastes, are subjective. Wear what you like***

One of the best fragrance I have ever smelled, it is a timeless unique fragrance nobody smells like this today . Sadly it is discontinued. I don’t understand why Ralph Lauren discontinued this scent. It works very well in the warm weather. The top notes are a little bit aggressive because of mixing between ginger and two citrus notes but the middle and base notes are amazing. Citrusy woody pistachio leaf oakmoss musk pine tree and flowers. When I opened my third 100ml bottle I decided to buy more so I went to a retail shop and I was chocked when I knew that it was discontinued so I decided to not use my last bottle in a daily basis and kept it for special occasions. In the beginning of this year I found out that people sell it in EBay but the prices are insanely high however I bought many bottles and I was lucky cause only one of them was ruined. I love this fragrance I am addicted to it I can’t stop smelling it. It is not for teenagers it is recommended if you are over 25 years old.

Romance has to be RL true masterpiece This is one of the most underrated gems! this fabulous gem never fails to get compliments. There are 2 versions , one produced by Cosmair and the other by Luxury products. I have both and the longevity with Cosmair version is excellent about 4-5hrs , with luxury products version LLC about 2-3hours max. the woody notes are magnificent in the dry down. trying to find a bottle is extremely hard as they are becoming more and more scarce. at some point it will be impossible to find. i was lucky to find a bottle on ebay for a good price . with so many memories this gem brings back, I just had to get another bottle back into my collection. to my surprise the first day i recieved it i put it on and got several compliments. Romance is definitely one of my all time favorites! If you can get it at a good price grab it

This is basically what got me started 20 years ago. I was in high school and the first day I wore it I got compliments from all the girls in my 1st hour. Then Jennifer, my crush that I was too shy to ask out walked in and the girls told her to smell me. She asked if she could, like a moron I actually said no. A couple minutes later the bell rings to start class and as she walks past me to go to her seat she stuffs her face into my neck and says that I smell great. I few hours later we saw each other in the hall and she did the same thing. I finally got the confidence to ask her out, we went out, and my journey into manhood began. Thanks Ralph Lauren Romance!

If I could bring back one fragrance in my lifetime, this would be it. I am still incredibly crushed & bitter over the discontinuation of this absolute masterpiece of a cologne...from a decade ago. I have searched for any cologne that could take its place ever since they yanked it from production but there is not one single cologne that will ever smell as ruggedly divine as this one. I just bought the DUA dupe, when it was restocked. It hasn't macerated yet...but that inital 3 sprays I unleashed were such an amazing, nostalgic thrill. Holy smokes, the things I'll want to do to my man, when it has developed into its full potential...GUH.

Fair play I like this scent. Its very light, a summer fragrance for sure but it lasted on me about 4-5hrs. One of those scents that are nice but I couldnt use a full 100ml bottle. I bought it in 2002. Sprayed some this year and its gone sour as it were - 9 years and unable to use it all. 10/10 - for shelf life in the bottle; but thats somewhat the point - it will last forever as its one of those smells that are nice but you just always seem to find an excuse to wear something else.

I will be putting my almost full 100ml bottle up for sale soon here in Australia. Genuine collectors feel free to IM me before I change my mind. Iconic. It was my new signature circa 1999 through 2000. For me, it was that delicious vetiver drydown that just worked magic. And its versatility - evening, office, date night....

one of my all time favorites. I have the empty bottle still. I have been unable to find a close match to it. If it came back, it would one of my signature scents. Very heroic, manly smell. Nice vetiver & musk base that finishes with a wonderful rose. Would always get compliments from the ladies while wearing this one

Fresh, calm, serene, comforting, elegant, caring (I know funny to describe a fragrance as carin but that is how it projects you to others and may be that's why the name ! ) I have used 2 x 100 ml of this (2001 and 2004) and would buy it again if I found it ! Wondering if it has been discontiued........)

I finished my bottle of this a few years back and all I can say is that this is one of my favorite fragrances ever. Was really bummed out when I found out that it was discontinued. I wish (but highly doubt) that they put it back on the market or at least release a modernized fragrance that has its DNA.

I have it, I love it, I use it.. I just bought a new bottle (I feel lucky to have found it) I will alway have a bottle of this.. This is like Oscar De Larente Pour Lui to me.. Classic, clean, last long time and easy on the nose.. It smells so good that the ladies want to lick me.. :-) 9-10 stars.

I first smelled this from one of those paper sample things from a magazine. I was sitting on the floor at the time, and STILL felt my knees go weak. It's been more than 20 years since I've smelled this but would love a re-release or something.

You can’t go wrong with a classic. Fresh, herbal, and full of character. On my skin, the pine comes through very strongly, but I don’t mind it at all. 9/10

My fave scent of all too bad it is already discontinued. Spicy, leathery, woody..aahhh just memories. anything out there that is similar to this perfume?

Is there really nothing out there that smells similar to this? I hope someone comes across something, prices for it are unbelievable.

You can find the equivalent of this on YODEYMA, I I tried them you are truly equal is very very persistent. His name is AFFAIRE!

Great fragrance. Ditto re the Dua "re-issue", it's super close to the original. If you like RfM, then try the Dua version

Hands down one of the best scents I have ever owned. I have no idea why RL decided to discontinue it for Men

Deliciosa fragancia. Muy masculina, fresca. De larga duración. Realmente la mejor de Ralph Lauren!
