About the Brand
About the Brand
Ralph Lauren entered fragrance in 1978 with Lauren for women and Polo for men, extending the designer's fashion world into scent. The collection has since developed around recognizable lines including Polo, Romance, Ralph's Club, and Safari, each expressing a different aspect of the brand's lifestyle imagery. Its fragrances span green and woody compositions, florals, fresh aromatics, and warmer styles rather than one fixed scent profile. The original Lauren and Polo launches remain important reference points in that history. Individual fragrance names, concentrations, and versions distinguish the compositions within the house, including later interpretations of familiar collections.
