Lauren (for women)

NebraskaLovesScent

This was my first "good" perfume. I received it for Christmas in 1983. At that time, Lauren was a fresh green floral wonder, very different from the heady 1970's oriental scents my mother favored, and a step up from the Love's Baby Soft I had worn prior to receiving this.

I wore this scent off and on through my teens and twenties, then set it aside as I moved into a gourmand phase.

I had heard the original Lauren fragrance had been tweaked in recent years. Finally got a chance to sniff it recently and I noticed a definite difference. It's a pale green ghost of its former self now. The complex mix of fruits, greens and flowers is all but gone. It now smells like a certain geranium-scented household cleaner I sometimes use.

If you can get your hands on the classic version, it's worth its weight in gold!

I don't plan to revisit the new version anytime soon.

This is Ralph Lauren's one true classic fragrance. Lauren is a warm, soft and easygoing floral bouquet with clear green top notes and powdery heart of roses, lilac, violet and lily-of-the-valley. (Yes, there is a tinge of pineapple at the very top!) The base is what makes it a true work of art with the vibrant carnation, wood notes, oakmoss and spices. (My senses tell me there is a light note of cinnamon in this mix. It’s heavenly!) This one will always be in my heart and in my wardrobe of classics to always have on hand.

Classic Ralph Lauren.. not an extremely memorable fragrance but not bad.
