Big Pony Pink 2 by Ralph Lauren
It’s hard not to fall for the entire Big Pony lineup but Big Pony Pink 2 by Ralph Lauren will forever be one of our favorites. This fun-loving, youthful scent is perfect for teenagers and women in their early 20s, thanks to its sweet, powerful glow that performs on the skin in a single spritz. While it’s officially a fruity scent, its strong vanilla undercurrent is what you’ll enjoy the most as the hours pass.
