Bernard ChantNicholas Calderone

"Lauren is a classic women's green floral fragrance introduced by Ralph Lauren in 1978. Its character opens with crisp green notes, aromatic clary sage, Brazilian rosewood, and a distinctive touch of pineapple. The heart develops into a lush floral bouquet of lilac, lily-of-the-valley, Bulgarian rose, cyclamen, jasmine, and violet. A mossy, spicy, and woody base of carnation, oakmoss, sandalwood, cedar, and vetiver gives the composition depth and structure. The overall effect is airy yet substantial, balancing fresh greenery with elegant florals and a smooth earthy-woody drydown. Lauren remains associated with the refined, mossy green-floral style of late-1970s perfumery."

Reviews Summary

“Lauren is widely characterized as a classic late-1970s green floral: crisp, airy, mossy, and elegant. Its opening has a marked green and aromatic bite, while the heart becomes a lush floral blend of rose, lilac, jasmine, and lily-of-the-valley. The smooth oakmoss and woody base adds refinement and prevents the floral character from becoming overly heavy.”
