Romance In The Air
I have always loved Ralph Lauren’s Romance. Kind of reminds me of my courtship days as this was one of the scents that my man liked. Perfect for you if you are looking for an old and timeless favourite to start the new year with.
Also check out their ad campaign this year which features famous celebrity Polo player and wife, Nacho Figueras and Delfina “Delfi” Blaquier. Shot by renowned photographer and filmmaker Bruce Weber, the new campaign is colourful for the first time, with stunning scenery portraying the fairytale lives of the couple. The campaign was shot on location in Buenos Aires, Argentina at La Concepion estate, home of Delfi’s grandparents. Delfi spent many of her early years in the enchanting locale where she would ride horses, watch polo matches and spend time with Nacho during their courting days. The site later became the location for their wedding; Nacho and Delfi married on the steps of a charming stone chapel on the estate with family and close friends as witness. Complete with dreamy images of the couple kissing while riding majestic white horses amidst open fields, the shots are enchantingly spontaneous and portray passion, intensity, freedom and timelessness captured through the lens of Bruce Weber.
Specially created for Valentine’s Day 2012, the lovely transparent silver-capped glass bottle of Ralph Lauren Romance is housed in a pink-silver carton enveloped with delicate metal-grey entwining flora and vines and is also accompanied by an exquisite pure silver necklace. The scent is a “fresh sparkling floral” with a bright, clean translucent quality as well as richness and femininity. A juicy Ginger adds shimmer to Sungoddess Rose, a hybrid rose with a fresh, clean scent in the topnote. Chamomile and Marigold boost the freshness along with tender and fruity nuances. Basenotes Patchouli Heart and Oakmoss add that sophistication and a touch of mystery together with a hint of musky rich warmth and sensuality. Available at all major department stores at S$149.
