Deliciously floral, wonderfully old-fashioned, Ralph Lauren's new fragrance for women, called Romance (left), is a definite winner. Rose and lotus predominate, with patchouli lurking beneath along with a wealth of other flowers. It's presented in a very understated glass bottle without any fuss and has the same appeal as the youthful Leslie Caron or Audrey Hepburn; a recollection of unspoilt innocence. Romance is now available in Ireland, with prices starting at £35 for a 50ml eau de parfume spray.
