Notorious by Ralph Lauren for Women 2.5 oz EDP Spray Tester

“Notorious” by Ralph Lauren Eau de Parfum for women is a polished amber-floral fragrance that pairs bright black currant and bergamot with peppery florals and a warm, softly sweet base. Launched in 2008, this 2.5 oz (75 ml) tester includes the same fragrance as the retail edition in simplified tester packaging.

The scent opens with tart black currant, bergamot, and pink pepper before moving into a floral heart of carnation, peony, and distinctive chocolate cosmos. Patchouli, musk, orris root, and vanilla give the drydown a smooth, woody-powdery warmth. Its elegant spicy-floral character works especially well for evenings, dinners, cooler weather, or whenever you want a fragrance with a refined vintage-inspired edge.

Bottle Description: Notorious is presented in a clean, Art Deco-inspired glass bottle with sharp architectural lines and a square cap. This tester version is listed by Perfumes LA as including a cap, while tester packaging may differ from standard retail presentation.

At Perfumes LA, we recommend it for fragrance lovers who enjoy sophisticated fruity florals with spicy accents, creamy sweetness, and a warm patchouli-musk base.
