You never know, but the odds are pretty good that Ralph Lauren does not wear most of the items of his own Ralph Lauren perfume line up. Well, maybe the men’s varieties.  Just as some clothing is more suitable for different people, some scents seem more suitable for women than for men.  Not many women want to smell like menthol, saddle leather, or cigar smoke, for example. When you were little, did you ever put on your father’s Old Spice?  Pretty startling on a female, wasn’t it?  The different body chemistry of the differnt sexes predetermines what aromas are better on female pulses and what smells better on a male.

Some Specifics

Ralph Lauren perfumes are  made by the same Ralph Lauren who makes all that expensive clothing. Like most well-known fashion designers, he expanded his label to include a line of fragrances.

Ralph Lauren perfumes come in a variety of types because he knows the world is filled with a wide variety of women. One perfume can’t handle all of the moods and situations a woman might find herself in, so you have several options to choose from. Ralph Lauren perfumes include such intriguing varieties as Glamorous, Glamorous Daylight, Lauren, Romance, Polo Sport for women, Turquoise, Cool, Ralph, Ralph Rocks, Hot and Safari for women. All of them seem to come rather masculine-looking bottles. Ralph seems to be a no-nonsense kind of guy.

Looking for Lauren

One good thing about the Ralph Lauren label is that you can find it just about anywhere. It’s available in fine department stores and in not-so-fine chain stores and drug stores, as well as online.  Perfume specialty websites tend to be the least expensive option. Of course, you can’t try before you buy when you shop online, but you can always sample it in a real world store and then go online to buy it later. Of course, if you’re buying it as a gift for someone who appreciates just about anything with a designer label, you can’t go wrong with jumping right into the online shopping. Ralph Lauren is one of the most recognizable names in fashion, so a scent with his label would be an appreciated gift for someone who appreciates the prestige of the designer label.

Online shopping can be done with credit card or PayPal, depending on the store.  Some online shops still take checks, either through the mail or by electronic check.  Before you buy anything online, make sure you’re dealing with a reputable store complete with a Privacy Policy and some sort of customer service, either by a phone number or by email. You might also try your luck with auction sites like eBay that often sell perfume. The Ralph Lauren perfumes are very pricey, so if you have your heart set on a particular variety, you might want to put off purchasing until a special occasion like a birthday, anniversary or other holiday. Then you can treat yourself without too much guilt… or, better yet, drop enough hints that someone else will buy it for you as a gift!
