I think every man should own a bottle of this and Aramis. It is simply a CLASSIC ,mature,clean, strong but a common and dated fragrance. I enjoy it very much but I try not to wear this if i’m in a romantic scenario as it just smells too predictable and accessible. I just scored a 16oz bottle of this great fragrance in an auction for 80$ and it’s the WarnerLauren juice WOW!!
It smells like the leather jacket of a man who chain smokes cigars, rides his horse through the woods to his house where he cooks middle eastern cuisine over an open fire. And it lasts ALL DAY LONG. If it were toned down a little, and mixed with a little more of the floral, I’d probably really enjoy it. Polo lent an air of legitimacy to American made fragrance releases and reasserted it with its clothing line. A truly American original that put American fragrances on the same par with European colognes and re-defined the barriers of the industry. The original Polo has been my father’s signature and preferred scent since its original launch when he was a teenager! Since I was a small child I loved the smell because it IS my daddy.
Need to reapply 4-5 times through the day. A very manly scent with hints tobacco, I don’t think this would ever go out of fashion, it was Lauren at his best. It’s also a quite aggressive scent so if someone around you doesn’t like it you’re very likely to annoy people wearing this. It’s not outdated in the sense that an older person (I’m 32) could wear it better. It’s outdated in the sense that it smells like something that belongs to a specific era and that’s really not compatible with the contemporary taste. I can imagine men of my age and even younger wearing this really well back in the 80s, but not now.
Originally only available in one style and a variety of signature colors, the polo has since become available in numerous combinations and styles.

It was Lauren’s introduction of softer, more comfortable fabrics at a time when Americans had the money and the time to enjoy out-of-work activities that made his name synonymous with American leisure. A champion of smart-casual, every rake who both appreciates his history and knows how to enjoy the present should have some Ralph Lauren staples in his wardrobe. The first Ralph Lauren fragrances, produced by Warner-Lauren, Ltd. were launched at Bloomingdale’s in March 1978. Lauren, a fragrance for women, on March 12 and Polo, cologne for men, on March 26.
I have re-acquired many fragrances in the last 18 months that I once wore back in the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s, but let a couple of decades elapse before replenishing stock and wearing them again. One of my favourite frangraces, real masculine smell with great longevity, which gives you time to enjoy it in its different stages.starts of with grassy notes than finishes off with a leathery scent. It’s my signature scent and I have almost 40 fragrances so I have tried a lot. Still, it’s not a blind buy because the smell is so distinct. Polo by Ralph Lauren (“Polo Green”) is one that I bought again. It’s somewhat divisive; I get the best and worst comments on this one, but the good comments outweigh the bad by far.
Today it is quite disliked as feminine fragrances like Dior Homme Intense an Parfum rule the day. We went from masculine 80s frags to sweet feminine fragrances that people call manly, to me, oddly enough, making me thing if cognitive dissonance. Think of it this way, would most people call the smell of a rose, masculine? Any honest person would of course say no.
The signature polo shirt has the logo sewn in varying sizes and contrasting colors while other, more formal pieces like the cashmere sweater may have the logo on a tag or in a more discrete location. Polo is also associated with classic, timeless styles and clean lines in clothing silhouettes. Are Polo worth the investment?
This style provides the trimmest silhouette and looks great with a pair of men’s seersucker shorts or men’s slim fit chinos. Shop men’s Polo Ralph Lauren t shirt dress shirts for additional options for a more formal setting. Pine and fir with strong notes of tobacco in a very masculine way.
