Ralph Lauren has launched Romance Always Yours, a new flanker to 1998's Romance fragrance for women:
Celebrate falling in love. Introducing Ralph Lauren Romance Always Yours—the essence of eternal romance. Envelop yourself in this sophisticated floral chypre, touched with notes of the iconic sun goddess rose and sensual musk. This fragrance embodies refined elegance and the signature of true love and devotion—Always Yours.
The fragrance notes include freesia, ginger, sun goddess rose, lotus, day lily, white violet, musk, patchouli and oakmoss.
Ralph Lauren Romance Always Yours is available in 50 or 75 ml Eau de Parfum. (quote via sephora, additional information via ralphlauren)
Ginger sounds a little unusual in the rest of that (pretty mundane) floral mix – might have to sniff just to see if it adds anything unique.
“Iconic” sun goddess rose.
Now iconic means executed acoording to a tradition or convention. What might that be? More proof that these copy writers are pulling words out of a hat…
Licia, there was ginger in the original Romance, in fact, can't really see how this one is different.
It's iconic because it was in the original Romance, maybe? Beats me.
Really? I even have a bottle of the original I was given & can't smell it at all. Even more curious now to smell them side by side – is there any difference between the two other than the name & the marketing? ;D
Honestly, it sounds about the same to me. Maybe they were too lazy to write up new ad copy??
I feel like the original launched a American trend…. Pink pepper. Romance is an all American fragrance and I love it. It has had a few flankers. I'm bored of Romance…yes both. I hope this succeeds. It definitely sounds more romantic than the original.

huh, i have to admit the original romance used to be my one and only perfume, when i was a teenager, before i stopped believing that a person should one have ONE signature fragrance and that there is a world beyond mainstream perfumery haha
Really, were they the first w/ pink pepper?
You had lots of company — Romance was (and to some extent still is) VERY popular!
Don't know for sure, but they were very close. Marigold is missing from this one.
