Ralph by Ralph Lauren

Ralph Lauren RALPH is a serious déjà senti experience to my nose. And not without reason, for Victoria's Secret SEXY LITTLE THING, empirically indistinguishable--except in strength--from RALPH in a side-by-side test, also prominently features green apple, osmanthus, and iris in a musk base.

This looks like a case of perfume plagiarism to me: RALPH came six years before SLT. However, neither fragrance description names a designer, so perhaps they are the same, and perhaps the multinational conglomerate that owns both companies is also the same! (On ne sait jamais...)

In any case, I am finding that the "plagiarized" SEXY LITTLE THING is in fact an improvement, because RALPH is really quite loud, even when very judiciously applied. The longevity and strength of sillage, too, cannot be denied. The "tad" of metallic soapiness that I found in SLT is in RALPH noticeable enough for me to place both of these in the "dislike" category as a note to self that I really don't want to add them to my collection.

In the end, I can recommend RALPH to those who like SEXY LITTLE THING, and vice versa. But Ralph Lauren deserves all of the credit--or the blame.

Another scent i can't stand... never tried it on me as i feel bad just smell it from others...

guest_betty

There is nothing good to say about this. A lot of fruits, gone bad, trown in a mixer. The result is a nauseating fragrance that make people wanna leave the room.

I bought this based on a review my neice gave me, and though I liked it, I thought it was a bit strong. I tried it again - a little bit less heavy and I absolutely love it now. It begins a little sharp, but to me it smooths out to candy apples, and softened - after a while - it seems to last several hours. It really is remarkable. Sometimes I spray a little in the evening, and the next morning it is still there. I found that if it is used lightly, my love for this increased greatly. My lovely neice was right, if your on the unsure side, try using it lightly and you might find you love it.

I really wanted to like this scent because I adore the bottle and it was described as an airy scent,but when I sampled it, it was a disappointment. It did nothing for me.

guest_

ok, this smells exactly like a thousands cheaps REXONA TEENS deodorants that you can buy in a supermarket for a really cheap price... HORRIBLE CHEAP AND ORDINARY SMELL.... BAD

nathalieZ

It is actually very fresh, young, summery,a nd I cant find anything wrong with it!! but it is typically a summer scent...but lovely!!

JOAN

It smells just like SUMMER in a bottle!Very refreshing, sweet , delicious!!!

Andreia

I hate this one. every time I smell it on the street I feel someone is punching my face

Marki san

I smelled this in the store and it smelled almost the same as Live Luxe by J.Lo...its agressive fruity I dont like it

dm8m

this is one of my favorite scents for women, one best fresh scents out there IMO.

it reminds me of an ex-girlfriend, i loved it when she was wearing ralph by rl. it still makes my head turn when i smell it on someone on the street.

danishfay

i like the smell,bought a pair LE 50ml for my wife.nice for daily used,won't let u headache at all.also nice bring to traveling.thanks

rin XD

even though this perfume is classified as casual and for every day use, it is remarkable. its peachy and somehow wour scent is truely amazing. even if its used in special events it will be one of a kind and memorable. my mom brought this bottle, when i smelled it, i thought its not something special or interesting, but once she wore it, i knew that its amazing....

carol.octa

It is fruity, clean and casual. Ralph is not one of my favorite perfumes, but I enjoy wearing this in the hot summer. I think it has a young smell and vibe. It is not sexy nor remarkable. Ralph is just a clean scent, for me. And I most agree with the other reviews: the drydown is not the best part of the fragrance!!!

KellyBellyz

Oh how this brings me back to when I was a teen and in love with this. I didn't own it but my bestfriend did and I would use hers whenever I can lol. This is such a fun and casual fragrance to wear, good for the summer. It is sweet but not over the top sweet, it is fruity and kind of airy. Quite clean and refreshing, I can smell the mandarin and a bit of apple.

But lasting power is average and the drydown is boring.

Andreia

My friend had this: eeww dunno if it's her skin, but it smelled awfull

glad_sandwich

I used to wear ralph hot before i got this and fortunately i got more compliments on it. i can smell the "apple" in it but when it fades away it gets boring on me- my boyfriend and his friends loves it though.. :P

guest_rochelle

smells like live luxe by jlo and the first paris hilton fragrance.

misscareyann

I feel like the bottle represents Ralph perfectly. Clear, fresh, clean and airy.
It also lasts a long time on the skin as well as clothing.

Anahi

This is lovely, it smells very fruity but not as gourmand as i thought, but it smells yum.
Great for warmer weather!

lucifera

its a quite intoxicating floralfruity lol :p but smells good and actually last for a pretty long time!

Ivy

This is one of my all time favorites. It is very sweet and feminine.

Soph

I have this scent because a friend of mine wears it everyday and I loved the smell of it but for some reason it doesn't suit my body chemistry well which is such ashame because it is a lovely summer perfume

x.Emiiie

I don't LOVE this scent but I like it. It smells really fresh and it's light. Kinda has an athletic vibe to it but I wouldn't buy it, I think it smells similar to a lot of perfumes.

jennisaurusrex

Similar to Paris Hilton but much better, and w/o the plasticy synthetic drydown.

Levana

simple ,fresh, casual. Its something everyone could wear. and its a smell you never get sick or tired of. This fragrance is perfect to give as a pressent to younger girls.

moonruby

the Ralph range was popular in highschool, and almost everyone was either wearing it or talking about it.

In my experience, I find this synthetic and stale, and I smelt like a walking chemical spill.

mack

I've personally always loved this fragrance. The scent is simply irresistable! :)

JMoron

EVERY time I wore this atleast one person would ask me if I smoke. When I realized it was the perfume, I also realized it really DOES smell A LOT like cigarettes. Not very nice.

belladonna'sbliss

I remember when this first came out, it was very unique then it was the 3rd perfume I ever bought. Then came all the spawn copies by none designers. Still to this day It is very distinguishable from the rest of the floral fruity bunch, easy to pick out and not worn as often.
Is a fresh fragrance with a little sport not that much though. Was well blended had a time of picking out the distinctive notes. apples then it just smells like Ralph from high school. I wonder if they changed it at all, I remember it smelling more sharp and fresh and less like fresh apples. Actually the more I smell this mini I have, the more I'm sure they down played it a lot since 2001 when I had a new bottle. Sad because it was a one of a kind. Now it smells weaker than its old knock offs.

guest_torichick

I love this one! To me it smells like fresh citrus. I wear it all the time and get tons of compliments.

aaguilera

one of the best perfumes invented. lasts alll day!! excellent!

WoonD

This is nice, fresh and sweet...
and the bottle color is Blue... which is like sky color...
freedom, fresh and very relax...
very comfortable scent, very charming...
once spray immediately love it
this like everybody must have it kind of perfume...
any age feel free into this

ViolaineViolet

i had this and i have to say that i did love this perfume so much! it reminds me of high school, is a fresh fragance full of life, its seems that a lot of people is wearing it becuase i can smell it in other people!! a must have!!

senna

Its so refreshing! Perfect for spring or summer hot days...
I can use it everyday, for school, for sports...its so light

alexandragreece

i was on a flight to new york when i first smelled this perfume.the flight attendant was wearing it.i immediately asked her about it and she replied"oh you can smell this?cause i wear it since this morning" we had this dialogue at the end of an 11 hour flight!imagine that!so as soon as i got to nyc i bought it!so, its floral and unique as a scent but i have to admit that even though it lasts 4ever i dont like the fact that it has an"athletic"kind of perfume finishing...its not too feminine!so i think its a modern everyday frangrance which lasts forever and nothing more!

princess45

This fragrance smells wonderful. Its very floral and sweet like candy. I had this perfume but my mom left the bottle outside in the sun, now it doesn't smell but I keep it in my collections

Trvevil

This perfume is very perfect for summer or hot spring days (that happened to be today).
At first it's apples, apples, apples... I wonder if apple leaf smells like apples...
Similar apple is in Paris Hilton perfume. Then I can feel the same apple and magnolia. First more than hour it's very intensive, but after couple of hours it becomes less intensive, but nice. I like it, but don't love it. In fact I find Paris Hilton more interesting, because it contains woody notes.
I don't think Ralph smells like Live by J.Lo, Live is more exotic.
Lasting power of Ralph I find good, it stays long on my wrist. The bottle and color matches the perfume, because it's clean (blue for me is something clean usually), easy to wear.

mgirl1090

I don't know I find this fragnace really casual and fresh. I dont have it yet but I tried couple of times at Macy's and it smelled very pleasent.

ChristyS

Well, I was looking for a nice, fresh fragrance for summer, so I went to try this one. My boyfriend was also with me in the store, and after the SA sprayed this on my wrist he said: "this smells like the Crowne Plaza Hotel.After they have cleaned up there was exactly the same smell in my room"
I think it is not that bad, but it is not fragrance that I am crazy about neither. Agree, that it is rather synthetic.

guest_Waterqueen

smells like they took this and added strawberry and came up with the wild version.

Emeraude

I think it smells fresh,fruity and soft floral...not too sweet,I like it,I think it smells similar to Tommy Dreaming...

muffindolphin

This smells amazing!!!
Its fruity but really really light and it doesn't smell artificial at all!!! It smells delicious!!!

missk

I find this fragrance refreshing, hence the reason as to why I refer to Ralph as my sporty perfume. It smells a lot like green apple and magnolia. I don't usually wear this when I go out, this is more of a "sitting at home - relaxing" type of scent. It's a great perfume to spritz on just after a shower or a run because it smells so fresh and clean.

mirror

a definite no!
It's the typical cheap blue fragrance that smells like the air freshener of public bathrooms...

Malibu

RALPH was my favourite scent during high school. It was easy to wear everyday fragrance which lasted for the whole school day. It was also inoffensive; many people would come up to me & ask what I was wearing.

The only problem I had with RALPH was that the floral notes in it were overpowering & I would sometimes suffer from headaches when I wore it.


I tried it again recently & it is still pleasant to wear & is affordable. However, I wouldn’t buy it again now as Paris Hilton for Woman is a similar fragrance, which isn’t as overpowering & it has the better drydown.

marie08

This is the perfect fruity-floral scent. This was my first "real" perfume. It's very bright and reminds me of spring.

DeLizious

Yessss Rockin' Rio smells a lot like Ralph but it's a little more fruitier! I have them both but love Ralph more cuz it was my first fragrance love, the only thing is that the toiletspray at my university is some sort of cheap Ralph-ripoff so now I smell toilet when I'm wearing Ralph or Rockin' Rio...

hena a

i have no idea why, at times it smells a bit like escada rockin rio. fruity, n sweet.

chance25

Now this is my interpretation of clean. Soft, mild, floral, sort of fruity. Fruits like melon, pineapple, apples all have this calming effect. I would also say there is a sporty feel to it as well or a casual wear perfume. It's lovely and long-lasting a real head turner due to it's simplicity.

Millieqm

Yuck, it makes me sick! I had it and had to gave it to a friend, because I couldn't stand it. too bad for my nose!

Love Ralph Lauren but this one was a mess. sorry. Not for me at all. I like Blue instead, very much.

Amythyst

I got a free sample of this, very glad that I didn't pay for it. It smells on me very cheap, and I can't detect any change in the different notes after wearing it for a couple of hours. It has very good staying power, I would have to say that if you like strong florals that are hard to pin down then this one is for you.

tommy_girl

the first impression is the last impression and that's the secret of ralph success.it opens with some fruity,sexy,sweet and sour notes leading to the heart of spring flowers.delicious and fruity,a good choice for young ladies,a bit soapy but not mentionable at all.when I wear it,in every motion I feel the blend of sour&sweet notes moving and I feel scandelicious!no matter I wear it day , evening or midnight;the affection doesn't change.it matches my skin's chemistry in the best way.

ICE Bianca

My sister had this perfume..I love it so much... and when she didn't notice I use to snick up...and use it,without her knowing it!!!And we always played ..the same game..."Did you used my perfume?"...she asked knowing that I did...but the answer was:"NOO"

caro23

I do not like it at all. It gave me headache.... cheap.

Taliera

I bought this perfume because I loved the smell of it on other people (never a good policy, always try it on your own skin first...) I'm glad I only got the 30mL bottle!

The first hour is yuck. It smells cheap and chemically - like toilet cleaner or fragrance tags for cars. Then it's overwhelmingly apple. Green apple and something light, but which is slightly rancid...

Maybe it's my chemistry doing it? I might give it to my sister for her birthday...

But after an hour or so, it smells more-or-less how it should be - sparkling, attractive and delicate... I think I need a few more days, before the final verdict is passed!

moonoi

Always be loved by everyone but me.
Strong and lasting scent make me headache.
People around me use it, some use it too much.
In this "RALPH" line,
Ralph Cool is so much better.

Surreal

On others it smells nice but on me like rotten prunes.. Ralph never liked me =[

dianthus

Fruity, funny, not very serious or mystic, just to wear on a party, disco, shopping with friends. For me too arifical and quite similar to Escada Rockin' Rio.

Feiyt

A very summery fragrance, but suitable for spring as well. The scent is harder to describe, very fresh and energetic but not overly sweet. It lasts a long time, but I've found unfortunately that on me the dry down smells almost...soap-like? On others it's still fine though, although you might find a con to be how many people you can find using this perfume.

sjanira

Ahh very nice and fresh! It kinda reminds me of one of Jennifer Lopez fragrances I'm just not sure which one, maybe live? or live luxe. Anyway It's one I'm always reaching for, it's just hard not to like it.

Althea

Summer in the bottle. I had a big one and loved it. Everyone was asking what it was, many many compliments. I wouldnt dare to buy it anymore as I am somewhere else right now and this summer girlie scent just wouldnt go with high heels and office wear. But it is definitely ideal for young girls. Very nice and lasts loooong.

mia

v pleasant and long lasting..i get asked if it happens and i have it on..

amanda

i like this, its light but lasts, fruity but not too sweet, and i noticed some similarity between this and adidas fruity rythm

ophelia

EccentricJ, I agree - "young" apple, but not very complexe...

dolita

my favorite ever it makes me feel fresh and delicious you would like to drink it :)

tenten

I used to wear this one when I was in high school, when it just came out it was my secret weapon. I haven't used it in years but recently i've been wanting another bottle. Its more spicy than floral or fruity and ppl will definitely take note.

guest_Natalia

Uno de los mejores perfumes juveniles y para no tan juveniles que he provado nunca! :P Su aroma s basa sobre todo en la manzana verde,es un olor riquisimo y muy muy dulce!.Del envase lo que mas me gusta es que es grande,que te dura muchisimo tiempo por mas que te eches y me encanta el color cristalino del bote y azulado de la colonia.
El aroma perdura en la piel durante todo el dia y en la ropa

peanut

The strong middle note on me is the apple. This is a non-offensive fruity floral, with the emphasis on the fruity- and it's affordable.

Sweetsunlight

I love this smell it's so light and airy. It is great for a summer day!

coco76

I absolutely LOVE this fragrance...but it never smells as good on me as it does on others. I wound up giving it to my sister because it smelled the way its supposed to on her. broke my heart...love the smell of this on other people, a real 'head-turner' scent.

Icyfyah

This was given to me by my daughter for X-Mas ('07), I always get compliments when wearing this frangrance. Personally, I think it should be applied as a mist tends to be a bit irritating after a while. But for the price she paid for it I would dare not complain or let it sit unused.

guest_dopee

my best friend wears it, t smells so good,i always try it when i go to her place. id like to buy it for myself when she finds better for herself

guest_Zoe M

CAsual, smell so good, sweet, fun,This one is a good choice for all the women.

Chaosnmotion

This is a fun fragrance to wear.. it is casual chic and I get many compliments. One girl actually followed me through a restuarant just to ask me what I was wearing... now that's a great fragrance.
