“Wildflowers on a Connecticut hillside — romantic without the melodrama.”
A soft rose-led floral from Ralph Lauren, released in 1998 and composed by Harry Fremont. Rose and ginger open onto a lily heart, over a white musk base with oakmoss and wood support. Floral accords lead by a wide margin, with citrus and a light herbal edge. A spring daytime scent.
