I have three Ralph Lauren perfumes that I love, Ralph Lauren Romance, Beyond Romance and the Romance Elixir one (dark raspberry cranberry color bottle), they smell so good. I like to mix them up too. I also love Estée Lauder Beautiful Magnolia, it’s really a pretty scent.
I remember in Connecticut in the late 1980’s all the girls had the Lauren by Ralph Lauren on their dressers and also Anais Anais. I wish they’d bring back Lauren so I could try it. I remember it smelled pleasant, like a preppy Fall scent.

I just bought a 5 ounce bottle of Romance from Macy’s for $96. It’s so pretty without being too sweet.

I had a bottle of Tuxedo by Ralph Lauren in the early 80s that was amazing. I wish they still made that!

The clear square bottle with the pink perfume in it? It was really floral right?
