Got a bottle of Ralph Lauren Romance for men. The top notes gave me flashbacks of wearing Kenneth Cole Black as a teen with the ginger and mandarine notes. I even got the same alcohol smell because Black was my only fragrance for a while and made me noseblind to anything but the alcohol. Unlike Black it doesn't go too woody and spicy, instead it stays fresher and cleaner. Felt a little bit lacking since my brain was expecting something else. It last longer and settles in a very shampoo like scent, likely due to the musk and pine. Call me crazy but the base reminds me a bit of what Bois Imperial tried to do but it doesn't get as synthetic but just as feminine. Romance is not my favorite but I can see wearing it on a hot day when I want something to last.
