I always buy sample spray vials on ebay to try scents before I go and spend a load of money on a full size bottle. I just bought the full size bottle of this. I’m no fragrance expert…just know what I like. This one lasts on my skin – which is a welcome change because usually fragrance gets sucked up by it LOL. This fragrance is soft, feminine, creamy, dreamy. The essence of a woman – I do not find it too sweet – It’s just right. I love it! I find that I do gravitate towards Ralph Lauren’s fragrances…I love most of them and I miss Safari most of all. Wish they’d bring that back!
Jayiotqpj – :
Kinda like The smell, but its way too sweet…ufortunately gives me a headache
taymaz – :
I love this! After smelling this several times, I thought it smell similar. To me, it smells like Golden Sands perfume oil. I had a woman on a train once ask me what I was wearing it was that. So, I know I can match both and get compliments.
MoNz – :
Ah, I was wondering why I just couldn’t get into this perfume and I see that it has ginger in it, which I can’t stand and my nose zeroed in on it immediately after I sprayed it. This effects me negatively the same way Twilly does and it’s rather ironic given that I actually like the taste of Ginger Ale, but not the smell of ginger…

Fragrance Review For Tender Romance
Ralph Lauren
Top Notes
Bergamot Ginger Pear
Middle Notes
White Ginger Lily Magnolia Jasmine
Cashmere Wood Benzoin Musk
Tender is like it’s moniker a tender white light in a perfume bottle. It’s sweet, fresh, delicate. This is a soapy after you’ve had your shower type of bathy scent. I love those types of fragrances. Opens with a distinctively fruity freshness. The pear and the bergamot mix is detectable upon the initial spritz. The sweet fruit is rather typical of fruity stuff out there in the fragrance industry but it’s suited to warm weather (spring or summer) and has a deliciousness that is hard to resist. Some of it reminded me of Marc Jacobs’ Daisy Eau So Fresh though there are different notes they have a similar vibe. It’s fruity floral pretty thing that perfectly suits a young woman who is getting started on her journey into fragrances.
The fruity pear and orange never seem to go away to my nose and something like berries reaches my nose. I don’t pick up on any gingers or spices of any kind. The white florals in the heart are clearly there. I smell a soft silky white jasmine, not extravagant, but rather, subdued. There’s also a note of lemony magnolia blossom. The magnolia is front and center. The sweet florals are definitely white providing this scent with a white floral soap type of air. The fruity top and flower heart are like a benediction over my skin and makes me feel very energized and active. For me fragrance can be therapeutic and can lift my spirits. This is one of those perfumes, even if, ultimately, this is nothing mind blowing and rather average. It’s clean and fresh and good for wearing something to the office, to your place of business, your employment, and to anywhere as a casual daily fragrance.
The dry down stage is soft and soapy. I don’t really sense any musk but I can detect the cashmere or cashmere wood. By the dry down it somewhat resembles Donna Karan Cashmere Mist. I like that one as well. This is clean and very conservative. It is tender but not like baby powder or shampoo. It is just a fresh tonic scented fresh white flowers and a delicious fruity opening. Not bad at all. Tender Romance is available at Macy’s everywhere. I sampled it an then bought it. Again I’m not overwhelmed by it but it is not a bad perfume either. If you like soft white florals and fresh fruity florals soapy scents and feminine clean bath product type of smell this is going to be up your alley.

At first, I was so in love with Tender Romance because it is different than other fragrances I have worn. Then I thought, “This isn’t romantic, it’s a quiet musk that is kind of a one-note soapy mess.” Yet I continued to wear it and found that Tender Romance is a simple yet sensual fragrance. I don’t smell the pear or florals in this gorgeous perfume. At first, I do smell the citrus but that quickly turns into a rich vanilla which is very beautiful.
Unfortunately, it turns soapy on me about 30 minutes in. This stage is quite unappealing, but when I asked family members about the smell they said it didn’t smell soapy to them. So I will say this must be my body chemistry and nose that is picking up a soap vibe so I will not hold that against the perfume.
Once Tender Romance hits the dry down I smell an earthy richness of musk and the sweetness of benzoin, which I so love. From start to finish, Tender Romance lasts about two hours, which isn’t even the length of a good date. So if you want to continue to smell this rich, beautiful, sensual scent throughout the day or on a date, you are going to have to reapply.
Tender Romance changed my idea of what a romantic fragrance should smell like. While I felt that something with this name should smell more vivacious and bubbly, showing the excitement of a new budding romance, it is nothing like that. Instead, Tender Romance projects a quiet sophistication that says I’m comfortable with who I am. Will you accept me for me?
lokomola – :
This was the first perfume my boyfriend bought for me and he loves the way it smells on me. I love the cashmere scent that it leaves at dry down on my skin. Reminds me of when I wore Cashmere Mist by Donna Karan. The scent lasts all day on me and it is soft which makes it a great scent for work. As I continue to explore and try new perfumes, this remains as one of my top 5 favorites.
Bryansk533 – :
Reminds me of pink starburst in a bottle. Does smell similar to Juicy Couture but the notes don’t end as smoothly as Juicy couture. Not a bad buy .
Atrogssaurnot – :
For me this is pink bubble gum in a bottle. Maybe it´s the syntetic pear. Sweet and different. Must try this again though.
mungat2 – :
If you like fruity perfumes with a hint of floral, then this is the one for you. I really love the scent but boy!! it does not last at all. For this reason I didn’t re-purchase. A pricey perfume that lasts as long as a no name brand body spray? No thanks – no matter how much I love the scent.
stb – :
This smells so much like the dry down of Coco Mademoiselle and Miss Dior. It’s very familiar and not super exciting. However, that being said, it’s very inoffensive. Good office fragrance, good everyday fragrance, etc. It’s powdery, floral and sweet and a bit woodsy, but still very balanced. It also has like an aldehydic overlay. Super safe blind buy and it’s pretty classic, like a lot of RL fragrances tend to be.
neyakov – :
This feels along the lines of Hypnotic poison to me. I’m not saying they smell the same but that they share a commonality.
If Hypnotic Poison’s statement was; come hither to me, let me seduce you and drive you wild for the night, then Tender Romance’s statement would be let me hold you in my arms and love you as I have many times before.
The similarity is in that they both have a very heady and sweet, yet woody Vanillic note that makes me feel like they would be a perfect signiture pair with one being your lighter, more innocent day time scent and the other being your night time scent.
brad_pitt – :
Smelled this on a coworker the other day and I thought she was wearing the original Britney Spears fantasy. It could have been her body chemistry mixed with the scent but if you’re looking for something similar to fantasy this might be it.
ddkuuzz – :
At first this scent is very very sweet. Over time it really softens up. My only issue is that I can’t smell it well on myself unless I am trying. I really love sweet scents. I bought the largest bottle of this. I really love the dry down.
pilot200809 – :
When you’ve outgrown the overly kitschy and gaudy bottle of Viva La Juicy, you can still have that amazing scent but as Ralph Lauren Tender Romance! With twice the staying power!
vitalik31000 – :
I get gummy bears and benzoin. My mom wore Emeraude throughout my childhood (mostly vintage bottles, in the 80s and 90s) so benzoin is a comfort note for me, and this combines it with a sweet fruity candy. It’s not complicated at all on me, but it is longwearing, and delightful especially in the summer for casual things.
foton83 – :
Honestly, I wish I’m getting the other notes past reviews mentioned. I especially love fragrances with ginger, galang galang, or bergamot; however all I smell is brown sugar and vanilla with a hint of cashmere. It’s perfectly fine, but I’m searching for something more unique.
kuper512 – :
Everything about this is soft & sweet, like falling in love. No sharp notes, just spicy ginger, fresh pear & soft magnolia. I agree with the ginger ale comment; this is like a lighter, more wearable relation of Dior’s Hypnotic Poison (root beer). This is my daytime inoffensive “I feel pretty” scent.
devka – :
I love this perfume. It’s warm, sweet and cosy. When I spray this on myself, it immediately makes me happy and I feel in love 🙂 This is truly a tender romance 🙂 If you like Fancy by Jessica Simpson and Viva la Juicy, I would recommend you try this. It is longlasting as well, on my skin up to 8 hours. Good for every season and occasion 🙂
makaradze – :
My Granddaughter calls this my ginger ale perfume, I guess that is a very accurate description (she has a great nose for a seven year old). My sister was the first one to discover this one…then I fell for it:). On two different occasions when I was out shopping very embarrassed looking gentlemen came over to me, and said excuse me…my wife would like to know the name of the perfume your wearing. ( I wrote it down for them) Very sweet of those Guys! It does get me compliments every time I wear it…But that’s not why I love it, Very unique sweet ginger smell..Fall temperatures had me craving this one! P.S. Ginger and Blood Orange are my Favorite Notes 🙂
alex180872 – :
Love it! At first sniff I thought “oh no another sugar bomb” but no. It is absolutely wonderful. As it develops of course you get the sweetness but there’s a little more going on and it’s so soft and dreamy with the florals coming out and some soft woodsy light musk . Has great lasting power too. Nothing at all related to original Romance but I may try layering.
Laywer – :
I dislike the original romance to no end I think it smells like synthetic roses and never understood the hype for it but this tender romance is so lovely. I smell vanilla in this but it is not a listed note. It is really creamy and it sells really well at dillards. The magnolia is really light and I do smell the pear, almost like a caramel drenched pear. This has moved up my list of favorite perfumes. It is well liked and is easy to wear. Don’t much care for ralph fragrances but this one has won my heart
апенргошлщ – :
Now this is truly special and unique. Beautiful peach notes very gentle with long staying power. It’s an incredible original scent. This is a high end summer fragrance all the way. Got this in a sample and had to buy it shortly after. This will be a lifetime favorite for sure.
mitya5555 – :
This is SWEET. First spray literally smelled like cotton candy body spray on my skin. I thought I had made a terrible mistake… like, a shower-able offense level of mistake. lol But actually, a few minutes later, the original, indeciferable mish-mash of over the top sugary smells begins to work itself out and the individual notes reveal themselves. First and foremost are pear and benzoin. The benzoin reads like a soft, creamy, vanilla. This is a very easily likeable fragrance. Especially for people who like super sweeties. But it certainly isn’t a new concept. I can see how this is a bit like some of the Juicy line. Viva la juicy and VLJ Gold both have similarities to this for sure. It has really good longevity. It had good moderate-heavy silage on me also, although I did see that many reviewers disagree with that alternatively stating its silage was quite soft. So perhaps that depends on chemistry or weather or some other variable.
I did not buy a full bottle of this. Simply because I have entirely too many sweeties already and I’m trying to diversify my wardrobe. But it’s pretty good for what it is and if I did not already have so many of this type I might have bought a full bottle. If you’re into the sugar bombs try this for certain!
pmb488speagoessenda – :
Well, like a few others, I got a Sephora order that included a sample of this. I had been meaning to try this, anyway. Swoon!!! I fell in love..
Soft, feminine, not overly sweet (thank you God, in this world of candy yum yums)..feminine and just lovely. Not overpowering at all. A pretty “safe” fragrance to wear amongst others, and not worry that your perfume is filling the room. I appreciate the simplistic bottle design, although I feel this beauty deserves a prettier bottle. JMO. The bottle is a nice shape and easy to spray, which my bad wrists appreciate.
Despite this being a softer fragrance, this lasts on me all day. Nicely done. I had to get a big bottle. I now have my “signature fragrance”. The original Lauren Romance was close to taking that spot, but this.. there is just something extra special about this.. “Come close”.. sweetness and softness and a whole lot of femininity.. Love. <3
ferlucy – :
I would never have tried this on my own, but Sephora sent it as a free sample so I spritzed some on. To my surprise, I really like it. It’s sweet and creamy. It reminds me a little bit of Viva La Juicy, but less floral and softer. It’s sort of a cross between Viva La Juicy, Flowerbomb and Meow! by Katy Perry. I smell lots of vanilla, pear, magnolia and jasmine. The cashmere wood and benzoin combine to give it a hint of creamy, smooth woodiness as well. Not very unique, but charming for the sweet lovers.
nneelluu – :
I just received a sample of this today from Sephora, and I am LOVING it! When I smelled it from the bottle, I thought it smelled like cough medicine, but when I sprayed it on myself, holy cow is it beautiful! It’s a sweet, soft, and all-around yummy scent, unlike anything I have tried before. This is definitely a sweet-smelling perfume, so if you like sweet smelling perfumes, you will love this!!
monolitleha – :
I love this scent! It’s similar to Pink Sugar but much better. I can smell the pear in it and also the white ginger lily is very apparent. It has a musky, oriental feel to it. The dry down is a soft powdery scent. It’s nice enough to wear to church or a night out on the town. I highly recommend it.
mvlad – :
This smells amazing on a friend of mine. It smells like her, but better – like she naturally has a soft, sweet cloud of freshly sliced, perfectly crisp, ripe pears and clean flowers floating about her. It was a sweet, clean, and freshly showered scent, slightly powdery, or maybe that was musk? So I tried this again when I got home and, ugh, I was immediately reminded that on me, this is all about too sweet and too ripe fruit. A very pretty scent, but not on me.
mar288Negeltzex – :
I did some Xmas shopping last night, the To Me from ME kind….and I got this years perfume sampler from shoppers drug mart and this one is in it. So I’m really confused, its next to black opium in the box and maybe that’s why but I thought it kind of smelled like black opium does,so I thought yum this is so nice and came on here and see waaaaaaaay different notes and comparison scents listed so maybe it is just the box that smells like that one. I’m trying to find a way to test it and see if that is the case!
vinchenzo1 – :
This perfume is so so so so sweet. The pear is also very obvious. To me, all I smell is overripened almost-rotten pear mixed with magnolia.
Tender Romance is extremely girly and sweet. I’m a woody-spicy type and I couldn’t wash this off fast enough.
Too bad the longevity is so good.
netupapuas – :
I previously dismissed this perfume as too boring, as too similar to other sweet perfumes on the market. I do enjoy sweet perfumes, but this one is actually more than that. I have to agree with another reviewer that said they get tobacco in this. I do too. In fact, it’s not as sweet on my skin as it is on paper. This is cozy, yet sophisticated. Girly, yet sexy. It’s delicious, simple, and elegant. A good everyday perfume. I do love it, but tend to wear it when I’m not exactly sure what to wear. I do have moments that I just crave it, however. Perfect for work in an office. It’s not overbearing, but is noticeably pleasant. You’ll get compliments on this one (not a reason to wear it, but seems to be liked by many).
alcoman – :
Super tropical air freshener…
That being said, it’s not too pungy or offensive. A nice breezy beach scent. I’m disappointed as it has nothing in common with the original Romance, but it’s an okay modern scent.
BORN_IN_USSR – :
This perfume is incredibly sweet with woody notes. I tend to hate this kind of sweetness-like cotton candy sweet. I find it sickly and overpowering – it reminds me of the sugary perfumes girls would spray in my middle school locker room. It feels like pure cotton candy sprinkled with spice and woods – not my style at all. The layer of woods with the tea note was so striking to me that it almost saved this scent, but I just couldn’t get over the damn sugary-ness. Sugary perfume haters should stay away.
Mr_Kumar – :
I too noticed the ginger note in this. I just love this perfume! I think it’s rather unique smelling, and I don’t find it to smell much like Viva La Juicy at all(which I never was a huge fan of). Among my large perfume collection, it’s pretty amazing that I find this unique. Also, it lasts a long time on me, and that rarely happens on my skin. I’m so glad I bit the bullet and bought this. Well worth the money, and glad I have the large 3.4 ounce size. Lovely, classy bottle too.
acendflense – :
To me it’s very similar to viva la juicy but much more sweet
Xeroximeyl – :
Holy wow! This has to be one of the nicest fragrances of all time. I tried it the other day and almost immediately bought the 100ml bottle. It smells like Poison Girl has been diluted with sparkling ginger beer — and I mean that in a GOOD way. It’s similar but softer and more subtle. This is one seriously sexy fragrance, but at the same time it’s classy and elegant. Sillage is large and longevity is insane. I’m talking 24 hours. My man goes crazy when I wear this! Think I’ll grab a spare bottle. It’s just too good 🙂
mamont31 – :
This isn’t available where I live, so I did a blind buy. When it arrived by courier I puffed some on my wrist and was instantly assailed by this golden vanilla explosion of deliciousness. I was like WOW! It’s so different to anything I’ve smelled before. A delicious blend of ginger, pear, vanilla, and flowers. A distinct and classy fragrance that would suit all seasons. I would say if you like Poison Girl or Coco Mademoiselle, then chances are you’ll like this. It’s sweet, feminine, soft, pretty, glamorous, sexy, alluring … just magic!
EDIT: I wore it out to dinner and then woke up still smelling it on my skin. It’s now midday and I’m still surrounded by its deliciousness. So longevity is 15+ hours.
semik26 – :
Pink Bazooka Bubble Gum and a sweet fruity scent comes running at me as the top notes. I smell no ginger as much as I want to smell it and I keep fresh ginger in my kitchen! The middle notes are green and citrusy. Very sexy, playful and attractive. majed me want to add this to my collection. A day into night fragrance that gives carefree, never taking herself too seriously kind of woman. I love it.
kundil – :
Tender romance embodies the typical idea of Ralph Lauren. Clean cut, polished, restrained with a understated elegance.
The pear is noticeable and the flowers smell to me like honeysuckle than jasmine or magnolia. I also smell vanilla.
According to RL, Tender Romance is a ‘fresh oriental’, although to me it smells like a bland oriental.
Landochkin – :
It smells gorgeous in the bottle, like warm rich vanilla.
But it’s a total mess on my skin, like sickly sweet musk or something…
Slavik 1855 – :
On my chemistry this gets really wild…TOBACCO.
grishcom – :
I tested this today and its very beautiful! This is a sweet floral to my nose. I get a little fruity pear upon first spray but it quickly turns into a magnolia/cashmere/vanilla on my skin. I really like it as a soft vanilla fragrance that is NOT foody at all. Its floral and soft. This stays very close to the skin and I think it would be great for all times of the year.
This is definitely not unique..there are many similar fragrances like this one on the market, but it really is quite lovely!
lkjhpoi – :
I love this so much! It’s mainly a sweet, fruity fragrance (but not in a Viva La Juicy or Paris Hilton Can Can way). They say the fruit note is pear, but it can easily creep into peach or strawberry territory. All I smell is this sweet fruit, like some sort of creamy fruity candy, maybe gummies, and the drydown is like vanilla powdered sugar. So dreamy…
I’d wear this on a date, but it’s a pretty immature scent (and I’m okay with that). It’s not sexy, but it’s delicious. I don’t know about the name…I would’t call it overly romantic… maybe playful. I was afraid of the benzoin, but it just comes off as light vanilla. This is inoffensive. Not synthetic at all! Perfect birthday gift for teenagers. My boyfriend says it smells like Play Doh though.
Edit:
I find this scent unique. I’ve never smelled anything like it. The drydown does have a bit of a playdohy tinge. If you want to experience more of the ginger, spray it on your clothing. Sprayed on the skin, it becomes cotton candy sweet.
enigma4ka – :
I got a sample of this and I find it amazing! To me it smells like sweet vanilla with some soft spicy notes. It’s not a complicated scent, neither is it something unique. But it’s just a nice, “safe” perfume for a summer evening (though I think it suits really for all seasons). A huge pluspoint for this is that it is rich, there are other notes which I can’t identify but they give it the necessary depth (which, for example, the ultrapopular “La vie est belle” lacks). It smells natural, not synthetic.
TombPambuff – :
This was inside the magazine,opened it up,the first thing I could smell was BENZOIN! Too much benzoin at the top.This has the same vibe as ariana grande’s Ari but that one is sweet and much better although for the young crowd. Tender Romance is not good 🙁
Neasseplenesp – :
Spray original romance, let it dry done and then spray Burberry Brit on top and you have Romance Tender
Black02 – :
I love the original romance so I went to give this a sniff…well its very clean floral then sweet candy marshmallow teen vibe type scent comes through and its a let down. I felt it didn’t have unique depth to purchase or stay interested and reminds me of a celebrity teen scent mixed with angel sucree(T MUGLAR)….CHEAP DRY DOWN. no and no. nothing special.
SPGudvin – :
Thanks to the reviews here, I tried this beautiful fragrance and fell in love! I never would have looked twice at it in the stores based on its notes and on the original Romance…nothing bad about them, just not for me. Oh yes they are!!! I adore gentle, powdery fragrances, and this reigns supreme in that category. Ever so slightly sweet citrus and sparkly sweet spiciness melds perfectly with creamy, fresh springtime blossoms, with a dash of the sweetest vanilla. A wisp of baby powder tenderness supports its name. Oh my, romance is grand when it’s tender!
Update: the dry down on me ends up being very spicy, almost sharply so. I love the first two stages, but after a couple of days including wearing it to bed, I am disappointed in the overpowering scent that lingers…the tender part is gone!
Puvianiarie – :
Beautiful scent, terrible headache. 🙁
fualen – :
A beautiful, delightful sweet, powdery perfume. It reminds me a little of another perfume I used to love called Moschino Couture. The benzoin is the star in my opinion. It smells nothing like the original Romance. I would say besides Moschino Couture, this smells very similar to Viva La Juicy. It’s not exactly a mature or grown up scent but it’s sweet, fun, and nice.
Irranttum – :
Smells great as soon as you spray and dries down nice.
The musk is like a sweet musk that almost has a hint of caramel to me, I get the fresh spicy and woody smell too….the ‘floral’ part is barely there during spraying or when you give it 15mins to dry down imo.
I keep sniffing myself as I type this lol….it smells so good. It’s almost an evening kind of ‘sexy’ scent but I don’t think it’d be too much for earlier in the day.
If it matters to anyone even this is young enough for someone late 20’s/early 30’s like myself but it is mature enough for anyone much older to feel very comfortable wearing…this can nicely cover quite a few age ranges. I will definitely repurchase.
Egor-1 – :
I went out with a girl last weekend. We met at a little Italian restaurant and as we were walking in I stopped her to ask what fragrance she had on because it was so gorgeous. And this was it. Ladies I’m not sure how this hits your nose but seriously as a guy this is amazing juice. Absolutely made me think of being “close” to her. It’s a very seductive fragrance, very sexy, not at all over powering. If I had one complaint it’s that it doesn’t last very long. By the end of our evening it was nearly a memory. Yet a memory I care to take with me and cherish. 9/10

A sales associate had me smell this, and I loved how it smelled on paper. I’m going to go back and test this on my skin. I was pretty amazed at how great this smells, and with me having so many perfumes, I’m trying to be more selective. This one just might make the cut, and if it smells good on my skin, may go to the top of my list of perfumes I know I’ll end up with at some point.
I ended up getting a 3.4 ounce bottle of this. It’s lovely. I was never a Viva La Juicy fan, and to me, this does not smell very similar. I really like this, and I’m hoping I get the same longevity so many on here rave about. I love the musk and the sweetness of this. I’m 48 years old, but don’t feel this is too young for me. I think any age could wear this, and in any season. Give it a try next time you are at the perfume counter.
opiweiplyblesy – :
It’s Viva La Juicy with a bigger price tag. I’m sure that it will hit everyone’s nose a little bit different but to me it’s just Viva La Juicy and Royal Revolution. Not worth the price for something I can grab at Walmart along with my peas and painters tape.
pantera84 – :
HEAVEN SCENT! I was so shocked when I went perfume browsing in Sephora today. My eyes wandered around and…. what? A new Ralph Lauren Romance flanker? Didn’t know this existed until today. And all I can say is… it’s a winner. I’m completely and utterly infatuated with this new Romance. To me, it’s creamy, warm, sweet, comforting and yes, tender! Perfect name for a perfect scent. However, I don’t really get that it’s described as being a “musky floral” this is sweet, endearing and womanly. I’ve been thinking for awhile which perfume I’d like to wear for my future wedding, and I may have found it! <3 10/10
Update: I think this would easily be one of my HG perfumes if I eventually bought it. It agrees with my chemistry, and I find it easy to wear.
(My boyfriend says it smells like sweet “fuzzy pipe cleaners”) Which, not sure what that means, but I guess it’s a no-go for my wedding perfume. Oh well, I still love it, even if other people aren’t too crazy about it. To me, it just smells so sweet and warm and lovely. Which is right up my alley! I don’t care!
Danilow – :
Wow, I love this scent! I haven’t been particularly impressed with the other Romances, but this one charmed me.
It’s sweet, but not sickly. The ginger blooms on me and makes it more zingy and fresh.
I received a handful of compliments, and on my first time wearing it, too! Definitely putting this on my want list 🙂

sillage: moderate

On paper this is way too sweet for me. But on my skin, what I adore about it is the musk. It is sweetened by the benzoin and light florals but it’s much less sweet than on paper. There is little to no woodiness on me nor do I get much ginger though it may add a touch of “roughness” in a good way, to the florals in the background. I do also get some pear but it’s not a typical celebrity fruity frag.
I think this is much more well made than what others have referenced so far (Pink Sugar, Nicki Minaj, Jessica Simpson, etc). It is more dense and seems to have more high quality ingredients to me. It most certainly lasts longer. It’s richer and less airy, there is no cheap or harsh quality to it. I sprayed it on my wrist at noon and it’s still going strong at 6:30.
ЛУНА5 – :
I tested it yesterday at Macy’s. OMG..it’s so sweet on paper and it turns into weird Smokey rubbery scents on my skin. Even the associate that helps me said it smells unpleasant on me when I asked her to sniff on my wrist.lol. yeah it doesn’t work with my body chemistry at all.

I love midnight romance. I dislike original romance. I think I also love tender romance. Another uncomplicated note line that seems to suit my nose. I didn’t get any ginger either. This also was a paper card test, not skin.
Mevro243JeomiWogkig – :
I got a sample of this. Coming from someone who likes Onika by Nicki Minaj, Versace Bright Crystal, Angel, Viva La Juicy, and many other sweet fragrances, this is the most revolting thing I have ever smelled. It’s SWEETER than pink sugar. The sweetest is amplified by about 300% and the base notes make me want to vomit. No ginger whatsoever.
