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!

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

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.

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.

Well, I was looking for a nice, fresh fragrance for summer, so I went to try this one. My husband 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.

smells like they took this and added strawberry and came up with the wild version.
04/01/09 04:32:27
I think it smells fresh,fruity and soft floral...not too sweet,I like it,I think it smells similar to Tommy Dreaming...
03/23/09 08:26:02
What a waste of 59.50! It smells so synthetic and cheap and lasting power is zero! I think Paris Hilton smells better.I don't know why this is so popular I really don't like this one!
03/17/09 11:38:32
This smells amazing!!!
Its fruity but really really light and it doesn't smell artificial at all!!! It smells delicious!!!

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.
02/24/09 00:49:41
a definite no!
It's the typical cheap blue fragrance that smells like the air freshener of public bathrooms...

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.

This is the perfect fruity-floral scent. This was my first "real" perfume. It's very bright and reminds me of spring.
02/04/09 19:19:49
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...
01/21/09 09:17:48
i have no idea why, at times it smells a bit like escada rockin rio. fruity, n sweet.
01/21/09 00:29:43
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.
01/08/09 13:00:40
Thought this was a clean yet *sporty* type of perfume. Something you'de put on with an after work-out shower. I think this a great perfume for girls on the go. Lots of compliments. Wouldn't mind owning this once more.
01/07/09 09:31:14
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.

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.
12/17/08 09:14:54
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.

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"
12/04/08 09:15:32
I do not like it at all. It gave me headache.... cheap.
11/17/08 11:00:25
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!

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.

On others it smells nice but on me like rotten prunes.. Ralph never liked me =[
11/03/08 06:40:27
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.
11/02/08 08:51:14
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.
10/31/08 16:32:03
Ok,call me crazy, but I think the crisp autumn air just enhances the flowers in this fragrance! I like contrasts and what better that the one between blooming flowers and falling leafs!
I don't find it girly, sweet or made for summer, just a smooth, velvety warm scent!

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.
10/23/08 09:43:13
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.
10/11/08 23:44:27
v pleasant and long lasting..i get asked if it happens and i have it on..
09/27/08 08:44:58
i like this, its light but lasts, fruity but not too sweet, and i noticed some similarity between this and adidas fruity rythm
09/27/08 08:42:56
is it true it smells like paris hilton? which is better?
09/27/08 07:44:29
EccentricJ, I agree - "young" apple, but not very complexe...
09/26/08 12:53:54
I think I am the only one who is not in love this scent...nothing special to me
09/22/08 12:07:16
Fresh summer scent. Average lasting power, good for young girls.
09/21/08 05:32:23
my favorite ever it makes me feel fresh and delicious you would like to drink it :)
09/20/08 10:50:57
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.
09/13/08 10:58:53
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

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.
07/22/08 10:07:15
i love this smell, but i never buy it by myself
07/16/08 08:12:14
I love this smell it's so light and airy. It is great for a summer day!
07/14/08 19:36:54
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.
07/08/08 17:37:13
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.
04/24/08 20:36:20
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
03/03/08 13:20:00
CAsual, smell so good, sweet, fun,This one is a good choice for all the women.
11/05/07 14:24:27
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.
