When I become a perfume designer I’m going to dupe this. Who’s w me?!
Dresevoickres – :
I love this fragrance, it’s my favorite of this Ralph line. It is the perfectly refreshing cool scent that still is feminine. This is a great watermelon fragrance and is a cut above similar fragrances, this offers something unique to other fresh fruity perfumes. It smells expensive and manages to avoid smelling like a nice body spray, not that that’s a bad thing, but I think it’s hard to achieve actually. It deserves a lot of credit for achieving what it does. I would say it’s a safe blind buy if you like fresh watermelon fragrances. It’s great.
seregadok15 – :
I love this perfume. It was the second Ralph Lauren perfume I owned and is still definitely one of my favorites today. I think it’s more floral than fruity. It’s unique smelling. I have owned lots of perfumes, and it doesn’t smell like anything else I have ever purchased. It’s best worn on a summer day. Longevity is 8+ hours on me, and the bottle I own is 10+ years old (purchased at Belk). I would definitely like to see this fragrance back on the market.
anatolymedvedev013 – :
This one is definitely refreshing, but I thought it could be even more without the lily-of-the-valey note. Actually, I thought it’d smell more like cucumber pulp and watermelon. I do smell the watermelon, but hardly detect the cucumber. I think I would have emphased the perfume on cucumber and took off the grassy notes and some flowers. It is a very nice fragrance though, very refreshing, Young and playful. I truly like it and it is definitely a mood lifter. I can say that this is the mischievous version of Ralph rock. A big big big like, very very close to a love.

This is so nostalgic for me… I wish i still had it. My babysitter used to wear it, and then my grandmother got it for me for my birthday and I loved wearing it because it reminded me of my childhood and summertime with my babysitter who I loved!! I tucked it away for a while and then when I brought it back out, I was getting so many compliments left and right until I ran out… I’m so sad it’s discontinued, but it’s truly one of my favorites. Sweet and fresh!
andrej-sapego – :
This is the first fragrance that my “learning” nose has picked up sooooooo much melon (which it should lol) in the top notes. Fresh melon…..just not notes I like on me.
naja2004 – :
This is the first perfume i have had in my life, it is hard to forget its smell even it has been discontinued for long ages. Though the scent is quite alcoholic and has poor longevity on my skin, it still captures my heart.
I wore this in youth age(probably junior secondary) and met my first love in summer vacation. I am quite thankful to my aunt who gave me this bottle at that time. The scent is bright, fresh, cool and fruity, just like my teenage time.
Now i have more collections from classic brands such as Dior, Coco and Serge Lutens, then i knew that the quality of Ralph Cool is quite unstable and it smells too fresh/fruity for my age now, yet this scent is still my treasure as it reminds me of my best summer and i will never get nasty on it.
Thank you David Apel and Pierre Negrin!!
teres1991 – :
I remember buying this at Macy’s when it first came out, but gave it away as it made me a bit sick when I wore it (sort of nauseous)
BeaviSs – :
The scent of my youth! I wore this in my late teens. Fresh, feminine, fruity, a little tropical. The right amount of strength in this one, lasts all day without being overbearing. Loved it but I have moved on to bolder, more sultry fragrances like classique X, 212 sexy and angel.
sawentiy – :
@TeacupBreaker.
The reason why this smells alcoholic is because you have most likely got an aged bottle of this otherwise cheerful fragrance. Sadly with time some fragrances deteriorate. Some take a sharp alcoholic turn while others begin to smell like fenugreek! I managed to get a (genuine) bottle of this recently and I got nuances of both and was ultimately disappointed! Back in the day this fragrance smelled divine and it was completely different from the rest. It had the freshest and most realistic cucumber and watermelon notes one could ever know of. Maybe we should campaign to bring fragrances (such as this) right back and experience them in their former glory!
Dumtuldet – :
The notes for this one look so delicious and summery. But they are not kidding about it being ozonic. 90% of the smell is alcohol.
Rebellian – :
I completely disagree with one reviewer who said you can find scents like this for a lot cheaper (I would like to know which ones if there are any). This was the most unique, standalone scent out there never to be replicated in history. In which other fragrance would you find a blend of watermelon, honeysuckle and vetiver ? I have yet to find a fragrance that smells close to this bright pink gem. I sincerely hope they relaunch this with the same smell and bottle. Almost everyone who owned this scent misses it a lot and it is even more diffucult to find authentic bottles of it on ebay!
Zemerix – :
I have a love and hate relationship with this one. When I first got it, I hated it because it smells grassy and peppery on me. Totally different than what I tried in the department store and kept it aside for years. Strange enough, now I do get the juicy watermelon, kiwi, peach note with a smooth, creamy florals and musk. Yummy and crisp! They always have to discontinue or reformulate the good stuff don’t they? Sigh.
DioS555 – :
this smells very fresh, I would not buy it again thought b/c you could find scents like this for a lot cheaper. A bit too ;young’ smelling for my liking, i like more masculine sensual smells.
rhu264speagoessenda – :
Otro de los frescos que me encantaban, como dicen, ya descontinuado.
Este lo usaba intercambiándolo con el be delicious, y como ven comparten algunas notas.
Este era frescor, al 100%, como oler pepino, kiwi y sandia pero el jugo; la verdad como combinación puede sonar rara, pero estaba muy bien realizado; tenía cierto toque maderoso, pero leve.
Su duración era excelente, fácil las 10 horas y su estela moderada, es un buen recuerdo para mi.
Amunkshawna – :
My sweet little Ralph Lauren Cool! I have great memories associated with this lil’ fragrance. I fell in love with it in High School when my best friend wore this. On her the delicious florals and especially the lily of the valley came through and it left a soft, fresh-sweet and yummy trail surrounding her. I instantly knew I had to buy it for myself. On me it does smell good (after the synthetic opening dries down), but it does not smell as fantastic on me as it did on my friend. She’s a blonde, I’m a brunette..don’t know if that has anything to do with it, but we just have different chemistry. To be completely honest, what R.L. Cool did for my best friend is the most amazing perfume I have ever smelt (not lying) and I’ve smelled alot through the years. But no frag has made my senses so awake and wanting more of a scent than R.L. cool on my friend. It’s strange to admit that, as “Cool” isn’t really of the same quality as an EdP or a regular EdT because of the summer l’eau feel to it. But my God, this scent was a goddess on her, like magic! Guys were almost eating her up. I hope I find something that is this good on me.
pokl – :
I simply adore this! I was at a local Perfume Hut in the mall today and the SA sprayed this on a card for me to smell. I was definitely taken back to when I first wore this in 2004. Of course, back then the big bottle was $65.00 and now it ranges anywhere from $99.00- $145.00 USD. It’s quite ridiculous how people can charge so much even though I do really love this.
prurirmSweele – :
I got the 100mls of this many years ago, when i found out its not available anymore, whats left of it is now reserved for special occassions. Smells so beautiful and a little goes a long way. If i find this again i will definately buy again.
slava123 – :
i had the original and absolutely loved it – i’m sad though because a few years later, i pulled it back out and it just straight up smelled like cough syrup and alcohol 🙁 at its prime it was incredible, my old signature scent. the watermelon really came out on my skin, very yummy!
edit – this is crazy! was trying to get rid of a bad smell in the house, so i used some of this as air freshener. at first it smelled terrible… but after about 15 mins, the entire room smelled like honeysuckle!!! so beautiful. 24hrs later, the honeysuckle scent is still in the air!
torrent_16 – :
A wonderful and unique fruity/floral/green scent that has (very) sadly been discontinued for some time. I have been craving this scent a lot lately and I have yet to search for a fragrance that smells similar to this. Why do fragrance houses have to discontinue the best, most divine and unique scents? The Big Pony collection is vastly inferior to the Ralph Hot/Cool/Rocks/Wild collection. Shame on the house of Ralph Lauren!
PLEASE BRING THIS BEAUTY BACK!!!!!!!!
AnnaSirovase – :
i am so disappointed they discontinued this!!!!!!!!!!! i ran out not too long ago, went to buy more and my heart dropped when i was informed it had been discontinued… i proceeded to try and find a bottle online or at a rl outlet store, in hopes that they still had a bottle hiding somewhere, but that was fruitless… i recall seeing this at tjmaxx a while back, passing it up because i still had half a bottle left… boy am i kicking myself right now for not stocking up… i will never not stock up on my favorite perfume again, in fear that it will be discontinued 🙁 well played corporations, well played. but on a positive note, i still have some of the lotion to reminisce 🙂
Bialfambbef – :
This is my go to scent in the summer, one of my top 3 favorites of all time. So sad they discontinued this and Hot.
kayfec – :
I bought this because I found the notes intriguing and I think because it was rare.
Before I start, I should say that I generally do not go for ozonic, watery or watered-down scents. I really like the bright, see-through colouring of the packagin g and the bottle is easy to hold and use.
I get softly-peppered wood shavings, something ever so slightly reminiscent of menthol – even though there’s none in it as AFAIK and it’s more like a really, really weak sensation of menthol than anything else – with a smidgen of very watered down watermelon (I couldn’t put my finger on that woody smell, so thank you Ecmaddox!).
Reminds me a little bit of – wait for it – The Body Shop’s Watermelon & Eucalyptus showergel.
I truly cannot decide whether I like this or not. I think I’ll sell this, whatever the case… not fair of me to hog someone’s nostalgia.
It’s all but gone after 5 hours on me
slepoi – :
I forgot to add, that earlier today, I tested the original Ralph along with Ralph Cool, one on each arm. The original lasted and came out strong and fresh. But Ralph Cool hid under a blanket. It was like Ralph Cool got scared of Ralph and decided he didn’t want to play anymore. That’s why I decided to try Ralph Cool alone on my whole body after a shower. I wish the little guy would come forward and talk to me.
Uolkoff – :
A very fresh scent. Some say watermelon. I can feel that too. But the staying power…it was 20 min ago that I sprayed and I sprayed alot, and I can hardly smell it now. I have body oil on my skin, to moisture. Is that bad to perfume? Maybe I should try body lotion instead. I don’t know if my skin chemistry suddenly changed due to stress in my life, ’cause normally fragrances don’t disappear like this on my skin. But I’ve tried others lately and they don’t disappear. Does anyone else experience lack of staying power with Ralph Cool? I even sprayed up in the air, right above me, so the drops would fall down on my hair. Can’t feel it. I guess I have to spray directly into my hair. When I buy perfume, I want to be able to smell it myself. That’s very important to me. I mean, if I like a perfume and then can’t smell it, what’s the point? It doesn’t matter if others can smell it on me, if I can’t smell it myself. Smelling perfume that I like, on my body, makes me happy during the day. So why do you leave me, Ralph Cool? I say you’re not cool for leaving me. LOL 😉

Hola Amigos
Esto me encanta hay mucha gente a la que no le gusta pero yo lo amo me encantaria encontrarla de nuevo la he buscado pero esta descontinuada es muy triste porque es muy dulce y fresca por causa del pepino y acuosa a causa de la sandia.
me encanta 🙂
<3
I love it there are many people who do not like but I love him I love to find it again I have searched but this is very sad that discontinued is very sweet and fresh because of the cucumber and water because of the watermelon.
I love it 🙂

Among all the Ralph’s fragrances, i like this Ralph Cool and Ralph the most !!!!
Baguvix – :
Uuuuuuuuuuuuughhh!! I have never ever done this before, but I had to wash this off my wrist after 5 minutes! It smells like urine! It’s disgusting!
Doomkimss – :
This does the same thing to me that Cool Water does, it smells overwhelmingly peppery on my skin! They must have a similar ingredient that doesn’t agree with me.
What causes that pepper smell? I’ve noticed a few others have mentioned it to, it totally ruins this perfume for me, I can’t wear it at all. It’s a shame because there was something nice behind that.
KELEVRA – :
Martu … RL Cool smells very similar to Exotic Passionfruit Mary Kay.
RL is more airy but they both smell fruity sweet, clean, and nice. I personally prefer Exotic Passionfruit Mary Kay. I found RL Cool to be too ozonic and it triggered me to have a headache.
vobhoedjmn – :
I love love love loooveee this fragrance! Its fresh fruity and reminds me of prep school,I would highly recommend it to anyone!
Inelinmedia – :
I need a perfume similar to RALPH LAUREN COOL
any advice?
Amelin – :
I like Ralph Cool much better than Ralph Hot which developes a strong tea note on me. With Cool the opening notes showcase the watermelon with a touch of kiwi, and a coolness from the cucumber. It may not be the cucumber causing it, but throughout I can smell what makes me think of cutting one and the way the rind smells. The flowers are noticeable for the middle then seem to fade in the drydown, the watermelon note stays throughout. It’s pleasant, fresh, not overly sweet, and a tiny bit green. For me though, the best Ralph is still Ralph Rocks.
er1w – :
clean,fresh and fruity!perfect for shiny days!!!!!
luh452Negeltzex – :
I know it might sound strange but it kinda has a hint of pencil shavings smell hahaha! But in a goof way I guess because I do like this scent. Very girly, young, fruity, suuuper sweet! Might be too sweet for some.. I prefer Ralph Hot over this one though.. I got it at kohl’s 50% off so I’m not complaining 😀 nice addition to my collection..
Criminal_Pega – :
Que Buen perfume es muy Juvenil me trae muchos recuerdos del cole
OlegSS – :
I have been wearing this fragrance since it came out. It was one of the very first that I bought for myself!
Halyavvkin – :
this one i absoluttly loved . a very sweet and fresh smell . a lot of rassberry and watermelon and aquatic smells. a light summer fragrance miss summer…
rasl0410 – :
Very nice for summertime,fresh and fun fragrance.Smells a lot like watermelon to me.
Anastasya25 – :
I tried Ralph Cool some days ago, and i had the impresion of strawberry liquor !!! funny ..i don`t know ..like berries and vodka??? it is an interesting perfume, i love the bottle, the bright colors. I think it is very sweet and fruity for my taste , but would be great for a teenager.
korablik1990 – :
This is a beautiful summer fragrance smells like a day at the beach top note of watermelon mouthwatering and sweet and a delight to the senses one of my favourites especially when you live downunder where it is hot
DIIETA – :
i think people wanna have it just because its discontinued (i did at least). i remembered it smellt good, but when i finally found a tester bottle, it didnt have any lasting power at all, and it doesnt smell good. Im dissapointed of course. among ralph lauren perfumes i think i would go for the blue or the red one.
dauletsful – :
RALPH COOL does not seem cooler to me than RALPH, but that quibble aside, this, the first RALPH flanker, opens with a brief squirt of cucumber-fruitiness before moving immediately to a honeysuckle-heavy middle stage with lily of the valley also detectably present. This part of the journey I like a lot, as it evokes memories of walks down paths flanked with freshly bloomed honeysuckle, hanging down from the branches of large shrubs so as to create an intoxicating blanket of natural perfume.
Unfortunately, RALPH COOL next morphs to a somewhat chemically drydown very similar to that of RALPH (also D&G IMPERATRICE, also Victoria’s Secret SEXY LITTLE THING…), which I do not particularly like. It somehow grows stronger and stronger and ultimately requires a scrubbing away.
Clieguarili – :
ralph cool smells… well… COOL. kiwi and watermelon and fresh water. it smells really, really nice in the summer, or any time of the year. too bad it was discontinued.
pyb578InsuffBooni – :
I am sad that Ralph Cool was discontinued… I liked it much better than Hot, which was just too coconuty and spicy for my liking. Ralph Cool is a fresh, fruity scent that is just perfect for summer. What I really like is that Cool isn’t too fruity… the cucumber and woodsy notes really tone down the watermelon and kiwi so it isn’t too sweet. I am not sure why people are referencing a pepper note… I am not getting this at all and it isn’t listed as a note. Ralph Cool is easy to wear and and very breezy- I love it!
cji476speagoessenda – :
this smells like a fruit pop!
sweet and fruity!
My mouth watered when I smelled this perfume.
I personally don’t think I would like to smell like something I would eat in the summer time but i would not at all mind smelling it on someone else!
Very yummy!
invaderrrr – :
I like it a lot,when i`m with it i can see a big garden with flowers and at the same time i feel wind playing with my hair,it`s full of freshness
Kokosha52 – :
Very watered down watermelon is what I smell and nothing more. Ralph hot is the best of the Ralph’s.
Iteseestehask – :
I know this is a floral fruity, but for me its the woody notes I remember. Not nearly as sweet and cloying as “Ralph Wild”, I think “Ralph Cool” would actually make a fairly decent work scent.
zja072elipseskism – :
RALPH COOL is my favorite in “ralph” collection.
Watermelon, Kiwi and cucumber are always perfect for summer.
This one reminds me to hot summer, chill out with watermelon juice, light breeze, fresh from the sea.
Perfect !
Original ralph is too strong fruity that make me headache. stuck on my skin for all day.
Hot one is too sweet and warm, hard to wear.
Rock and Wild are kind of lovely fruit like orange and strawberry.
Got Rock already, next one is Wild.
vollchara – :
Well,what to say about this??
It starts out with a heavy doze of alcohol(a big sneezewarning!)that goes away rather quickly. I can feel some kind of sweet smell but it isn´t fruity, foody, floral or even oriental. No, it´s artificial and strange and maybe a little bit watery. Then the pepper kicks in bad time and I no longer have to wonder if this is a keeper or not.
I´m sorry to say it…but two thumbs down!
al-2010 – :
fresh and refreshing. i like the watermelon. reminds me of a ‘flirty-sporty’ girl.
PogisseBemi – :
this perfum is not a sophisticated smell, but is fresh and funny, if you want to going out with your dog, used this perfum
visaspln – :
smells great. no problem with that. it used to be my fav perfume until i figured out it wasn’t long lasting at all. the scent disappers after 10 minutes -at most- i wish it were more long lasting -with my skin at least-, i’d have loved that.
racaleksandr – :
I wanted to like this – being a huge fan of Lauren and Safari and of course the perenial preppy male elixr of Polo,
but this stuff was horrible.
I know that it was meant to be light, summery and fun. Fruity and bright.
instead it was synthetic, sticky, and horrible. I even enjoy artificial watermelon candy scent – like jolly ranchers, but that wasn’t here at all. Reminded me of the medicated dog shampoo my vet uses at the animal clinic.
I will, I promise, try it one more time, just because the man who charmed me with the heavy white flowers of Lauren can’t really have made this stinky mess, can he?
neo12rus – :
It’s a very fruity fragrance, very fresh, smells a little like water melon. it doesn´t long too much time
expafePah – :
smells fresh and quite fruity tho not so much. lovely!
CagmaTeapegeW – :
refreshing and light.
Fauplilla – :
for me its floral-aquatic, but i like it very much, its refreshing, and cool. but have to wait for a while because at first its very strong. its good for summer or spring, i was wearing it during my final exams and now i consider it as my lucky-fragrance,
axiles20082008 – :
I like it, but I would say it’s a floral fragrance with nothing fruity about it.
sergo777 – :
It’s very strange, but on me it starts off very peppery and when it dries down, it still retains that peppery note. The only fruit I can smell is lime. I still like it though. Funny thing chemistry.
