by Ralph Lauren
Tender Romance by Ralph Lauren is a sweet, creamy fragrance with a prominent pear and ginger opening, leading into a soft floral heart of jasmine and magnolia, and a warm, musky dry down with benzoin and cashmere wood. The scent is perceived as delightfully sweet and gourmand, evoking candied pear, vanilla, and a hint of ginger ale, making it feel like a luxurious, cozy candy. It projects modestly with moderate to strong sillage, leaving a lingering, fondly remembered trail. While some find it overly sweet or even headache-inducing due to its sugary profile, others experience it as elegant, balanced, and deeply comforting, especially in cooler weather. The fragrance is widely regarded as a classic, inoffensive 'signature scent' suitable for day to evening wear and appeals strongly to fans of sweet, floral gourmands like Viva La Juicy or Cacharel Yes I Am.
