Ralph by Ralph Lauren

Floral freshness with a youthful class: The opening is a sparkling, luminous citrus-floral accord, perfect for spring and summer. It evolves with brown boronia, adding a watery and spicy nuance that keeps it from being flat, blended with a transparent, delicate white iris that isn’t powdery. It radiates joy, casual elegance, and a light, versatile girly vibe for warm weather without being cloying. My rating: 9/10. A fresh, floral fragrance with class for stylish everyday wear.

Sorry, it’s aquatic with a sweet fruity floral opening thanks to the green apple, but over time on my skin it smells like cucumber and turns into a true aquatic fragrance. Ideal for high summer, it’s very refreshing.

I’m a millennial, and this was my perfume throughout my teenage years; almost all of us in the 2000s wore it, and it was super famous. At 18, I started dating my husband, who used Ralph, and at 35, he still buys me this every summer because it reminds him of me. It’s super fresh; you put it on, and you smell clean, like you just got out of the shower. I absolutely love wearing it in summer; it’s the best way to cool down under the infernal heat. Sparkling, clean, rich, fruity, and aquatic. I still haven’t found anything that comes close to this feeling.

It was my favorite perfume for several years until they changed the formula, and now it lasts nothing :'(. Literally, I would have worn it my whole life if it still had the same sillage and longevity. People always envied it.

I like it; it seems nice and quite original, but there’s a note I can’t identify that gives it a herbal touch I hate completely. It’s not bad, but I prefer the freshness of Natura’s Ekos Pitanga Preta, which are similar but the Natura one feels nicer and is much more affordable.

It brings back precious memories—my boyfriend gifted it to me when I was 17. It evokes summer and that youth filled with wonderful teenage moments. I bought it again two years ago; I don’t wear it daily, but when I go to the pool, mixed with the water, it completely turns my head. With many more years ahead, my boyfriend loves it when I wear it; it reminds him of the beginning of our relationship ❤️

It’s not really what I’m drawn to now, but I hunted it down because it’s super millennial. Just like its HOT version, it brings a whole host of happy memories. I love it because it’s a time machine.

I’m looking for this because of the Pitanga Preta from Natura, a scent so purple, fresh, and joyful that I’d love to have it in an EDP version that lasts longer. Many say it’s the Ralph dupe, but I don’t see them matching at all. Has anyone tried both and can tell me? I feel like the Ralph doesn’t replicate that purple opening of the Pitanga. Since I haven’t tried it, I’m not sure.

It’s so fresh and fruity… I use it and will always use it.

I had it in my adolescence, but one day I got bored of it and I’ll be gifting it 😔. It was a fresh scent with a sweet touch. Nowadays, I’d love to have that small bottle again, to smell that freshness once more.

Sweet and fresh, very similar to Natura’s Pitanga Preta. Since I tried it, I’ve loved it and kept repurchasing it for years. The aroma is addictive, fruity, and clean—highly recommended for summer. It’s not cloying or overwhelming, yet never boring. It’s my favorite alongside Light Blue for this time of year.

One of the fragrances I’ll always repurchase. The memories it evokes make me buy it every couple of months; once I finish a bottle (which I usually find on sale), I start another one shortly after. It reminds me of when I was a girl and used my older sister’s perfume; it’s impossible not to feel affection and nostalgia for it. As I grew up, I couldn’t resist copying her, even though it was her personal scent. It smells like crisp green apple—super fresh, juicy, and sweet, like an orange and apple popsicle on a hot summer day. It’s a refreshing juice that stays consistent and doesn’t get heavy even on the hottest days. Whenever I wear it in summer, I feel fresh and clean with a sweet vibe that puts me in a good mood. I have nothing negative to say, not even about longevity; it lasts quite well on skin. My sister and I have the same experience; it easily lasts 6 to 8 hours. ‘The Blue Ralph for Girls’ (that’s what they called it when I worked at a perfumery) still has its place and will for a long time—it never fails.

One of my favorites. Until last year, it was among the ones I enjoyed using the most (all this before I fully dove into the perfume world). I wore it for years, but unfortunately, I think the formula changed: now it lasts even less than it did before. It used to hold up well for 6–8 hours, but now I think it barely makes it through 2–3 hours. Still, it’s a scent I enjoy a lot. I’m keeping an eye out for similar recommendations, hopefully with better projection and sillage.

Fresh, clean, pleasant, and slightly sweet. It’s excellent and very well balanced. Simply gorgeous for summer.

“What a beautiful perfume.” It’s a fresh, fruity scent that’s nothing common, in the true Ralph style. I used it years ago and still miss it; I wore it and felt proud to have it on. It was my first discovery of fruity perfumes, which I absolutely love. I’d love to have it back; it’s unforgettable to me.
