Ralph Lauren is an American fashion designer known for his popular Polo line and other apparel, accessory, and interior decorating lines. The company was founded in 1967 and initially offered a line of men's ties. It grew rapidly and had its own boutique within the Bloomingdale's department store as early as 1969, and its own independent store in Beverly Hills in 1971.

Ralph Lauren Polo went on to produce fragrances in collaboration with L'Oréal, starting with the iconic men's fragrance Polo and the classic women's fragrance Lauren in 1978. The next two fragrances in the line, Chaps for men and Tuxedo for women, both introduced in 1979, were beloved classics.

The company continues to produce popular fragrances for men and women, from the iconic 1990s Safari perfumes for men and women to newer offerings under its other labels in the 21st century.
