Happy Valentine's Day Giveaway: Ralph Lauren Romance Always Yours

Posted on Feb 14, 2009 at 2:02AM

Just in time for Valentine's Day and in celebration of the newest Ralph Lauren Fragrance, Romance Always Yours, the brand has created the Romance vMAIL, a virtual Valentine to share with the special person in your life. To send some more love on Valentine's Day, you can enter for a chance to win this romantic new fragrance in the Happy Valentine's Day Giveaway.

First, you create a slideshow of images by uploading your own photos from Flickr, your computer, or selecting from iconic Romance images shot by photographer Bruce Weber and featuring real-life model couple, Valentina & Luiz.

Next, you create a customized soundtrack for your slideshow. Choose from nine romantic tunes, including an exclusive (free!) downloadable track from the new Nat King Cole album of modern remixes.

Finally, share the love! The unique Romance vMAIL is shareable so email it to your boyfriend or husband or post it to your Facebook page or MySpace page, and other social networks.

Here's a link to the Romance vMAIL link so that you can check it out yourself and share it with your readers: www.always-yours.com 

More about the fragrance:

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the original Ralph Lauren Romance, perfumer Harry Fremont has created Always Yours, a more complex fragrance blend inspired by the deepening of a relationship. Fremont also created the original Romance, which remains a best-seller today. Romance Always Yours is a Sensual Floral Chypre with top notes of Sun Goddess Rose, Yellow Freesia & Ginger; mid notes of Lotus Flower, White Violet & Fresh Daylily; and base notes of Patchouli Concentrate, Creamy Sensual Musk & Oak Moss. To celebrate the release, the fragrance is available not only as an Elixir de Parfum ($60-$75) but also as a very special Limited Edition Parfum ($225), which features a hand-crafted glass faceted dauber, reminiscent of the diamond - a traditional 10th wedding anniversary gift. The Romance Always Yours Elixir de Parfum will become a permanent part of the collection alongside the original Romance, a testament to the lasting commitment which inspired Always Yours. Ralph Lauren Romance Always Yours is now available at department stores nationwide and at RalphLauren.com.

No. DH and I are going to a movie and someplace inexpensive for dinner.

I don't expect much from my guys, and tell them one flower or a lei are fine next week or next month. But NO balloons. They are getting chocolate and lip balm or a fragrance miniature from me.

It is what I can afford, as I was laid off from the job I love last year - but so were 24 others!

Happy Valentine's Day - hug everyone you love...

I think Valentine's Day is too commercialized. However, that doesn't mean we have to fall prey to this. Simply gifts like chocolate or cards or a single rose are enough to convey the message. I think high-maintenance types are they one who expect the most.

Valentine's day puts no pressure on me (anymore) As you get older, you realize that the things that meant so much to you years ago are material, and it's relationships, friendships and love that are teh true meaning of the holiday of the heart.

I don't think as a women who has been married for close to 10 years that there is any pressure on me for Valentines Day. We always make the time for each other that day and always do a date night but make no expectations past that. We show each other our love on a daily basis.

No pressure at all after 37 years of being married to the my most wonderful husband! Love blooms around here everyday!

Not on me, but on my husband! Funny thing is, anything he gets me is fine, so the pressure's all in his mind. Smiling

No pressure here.........but I do think that many feel that they MUST do something spectacular.....and that's too bad.

No pressure- my husband of 20 years knows that I love him not only on Valentines but also the other 364 days of the year.

No, because I'm recently divorced. I don't have any kind of pressure.

I feel some pressure because I've always loved Valentine's day so I want to make it special. But it's a day to celebrate love so that's what I try to focus on.

I always try to be thoughtful but don't expect "the moon". The whole family had a great lunch at Red Lobster and my husband was smart and got me Chocolate, VS Gift Certificate, and Cute Jammies. I got my husband some comedy books, a joke gift and some luggage for his travels. Much better then previous years..

Valentine's always seems to put pressure on me because I consider it "Singles Awareness Day"... Because those who are single feel like there isn't a Holiday for us and it makes us think the whole thing is too commercialized. I am a hopeless romantic but can't romantic to anyone if I don't have anyone to be romantic too!

nope, because its commercial I still do not feel forced to say I love you today when it should be shown everyday. I had to go to the store this am to get milk and groceries- and there were so many guys wasting- yes wasting money buying musical balloons, and crap and they could of put it towards a bill -and boy did I want to shoot those singing balloons allthrough the store. I say if you are a bf- volunteer to work today and wait till midnight when it goes half price and buy it....or let your little lady know she is appreciated all year round and you will not need the silly balloons.

It is too commercialized but you have to learn to adjust and not give in, and guy buy sale chocolate after and say I love you and I appreciate you year round.

No pressure on me. Cupid evidently ran out of arrows before he got to my house.

Well....sometimes it reminds me how great it would be to be in a relationship where the man does thoughtful things or gives gifts. ha! So, maybe I feel pressured to move on and be a "part" of the celebration.

I look forwards to Valentines day every year. It gives me an excuse to go a little overboard for my husband.

no -- we don't go too overboard, though. i bought my hubby some m & m's "faces" (so adorable, if you haven't seen them!), and he bought me a new decorative pot for the garden. we're also eating in!

My husband and I have promised to ourselves that we will never express our love for each other by offering each other expensive gifts. That we will never measure our love for each other by the amount of money we can spend. This is why Valentine's Day doesn't put any kind of pressure on us. We rather try to make each day of our life together be a celebration.

Since I am single, I have no problems. However, usually my sister and I always buy something for each other. That pressures me to find her something perfect!

I don't really have any pressure, being the girl. My poor fiance feels tons of pressure tho. To me, it's a day like any other day, so I feel bad for him. Sad Thank you so much for offering this giveaway! eyeslikesugar [at] gmail [dot] com

I feel pressured to have the ideal Valentine's Day but something usually goes wrong! For instance, my hubby ended up having to work tonight and I'm spending it alone!

I don't feel pressure. We are very in sync and both know how to make the other happy.

After 36 years with my husband, I don't feel any pressure at all in letting him know that that he is my world. We have been through so much together, including the loss of two of our children and our parents, a lot of very serious illnesses, job loss, and disability that would have destroyed a lot of marriages and yet, our love has survived it all. I know that as long as I have him beside me, I can handle anything that life wants to throw at me. That is not to say that we do not have our joy in life, too! We have also experienced the heights of happiness together! Our love is the most precious thing that exists as far as we are concerned, and V-Day is just another day to cherish having each other to love and share this amazing journey.

No. I really enjoy events such as Valentines Day. I decorate for the ocassion and wear red on the special day. The day is nice and I look forward to any day where people have that extra niceness to them.

No pressure, my husband is sick so I don' expect anything and it make him feel bad if I get him any thing, Just a nice dinner at home and a happy valentines day.

Oh wow, Ralph Lauren Romance is my absolute favorite perfume! Thanks for the opportunity! I don't feel pressure on Valentine's day. It has alway's been a fun day for me and my family and it's more about being creative and showing love to one another than how much money we spend. I am single so that also takes the pressure off.
Thanks for your giveaway! Smiling

I don't feel that much pressure. My husband usually leaves his card laying aroud and I put it away for the next year. Once it took him 3 years to figure it out.

No, not at all. My husband and I don't go overboard and basically spend what time we can together to enjoy the day. I don't need roses and jewelry to celebrate our love...I rather have his time.
Thanks so much.
