‘Ralph Lauren Christmas’ Makeup and Scents Are Your Cheat Code to the Holiday Aesthetic

Coquette had its moment during the 2024 holiday season, but 2025 belongs to the “Ralph Lauren Christmas” aesthetic. It’s everywhere right now, and it’s impossible not to be charmed by its cozy elegance. The trend takes inspiration from the classic fashion brand’s signature holiday style—rich textures, deep colors, plaid—basically all the details you’d expect to find in a Ralph Lauren store during the holidays.

We’ve already sung the praises of Ralph Lauren Christmas nails, but lately we’ve been taking the obsession a step further by translating the aesthetic into our beauty routines. Ahead, I’ve rounded up 10 makeup, fragrance and beauty accessories that capture the mood perfectly, whether it’s a classic red lipstick synonymous with Ralph Lauren’s signature holiday palette or a velvet-textured makeup bag that mirrors the brand’s rich, seasonal fabrics.

So whether you’re gifting a loved one or treating yourself this holiday season, scroll on for our Ralph Lauren Christmas shopping picks.

1 / 10

Ralph Lauren Romance Eau de Parfum Intense ($144)

It would be blasphemous not to include a fragrance from Ralph Lauren’s own line, and this one fits the trend beautifully. Romance Intense blends velvety rose, blackcurrant and warm amber for a moodier take on the classic Romance fragrance, and the deep jewel-pink bottle looks the part, too.

MAC M·A·Cximal Silky Matte Lipstick ($25)

No red lipstick holds icon status quite like MAC’s Ruby Woo, the brand’s most legendary shade, beloved since 1999 and universally flattering. And it’s hardly an exaggeration to say red lipstick is to Ralph Lauren Christmas as tartan is to holiday dressing: timeless, festive and deeply ingrained in the season’s DNA.

Guerlain Rouge G Customizable Lipstick Case ($43)

The Ralph Lauren Christmas trend leans heavily into texture, and Guerlain’s Rouge G Customizable Lipstick Case fits that energy perfectly by adding a luxe touch to your makeup bag. I included the brown leather version here, but it comes in plenty of other finishes, including red leather croc and more. The lipstick is sold separately, but the duo makes a gift that never disappoints.
