Ralph Lauren is offering women an opportunity to determine which fragrance from the new The Big Pony Collection for Women suits them best without going to a fragrance shop and smelling tons of samples. With The Life in Color Quiz in the vibrant Facebook application, visitors to the www.facebook.com/RalphLauren page can figure out if they are sensual, free spirited, sporty or stylish, and select the right scent from the new range.
