He was an “Atari democrat”, but the last time he voted blue was Al Gore in 2001 (he’ll say he voted for Biden but that’s a lie). He might be the ultimate successful boomer. Whether by way of clean-cut oxford shirts, staple t-shirts, or classic baseball caps, unfussy statements continue to be vital facets of the label’s identity.
I get the juniper berry, the pine, basil & artemisa, all of which make this very dark, green, and herbal. The other spices and notes are blended Polo Ralph Lauren t shirt together beautifully. This is a very good fragrance and a grown-up classic for sure. There is very little out there today that smells like this.
I work in a Polo store and EVERY employee who works in the store, no matter the age or sex, from 16 to 60, hates this smell, and dreads when someone tries it on. And so do the customers who have to shop in the store after it’s sprayed. 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.
I recently read about this perfume and was astonished that it was created in 1978. And that it is called an old man’s perfume. I’ve been wearing this since the time I was 24 and fit right in. I think it is extremely masculine scent. It can be worn by anyone who can carry off the masculine feel.
Our latest Polo Ralph Lauren collection, The Wild Coast, draws inspiration from a journey through nature. Featuring retro-inspired graphics and classic denim, our Polo Ralph Lauren Style icons arrive for a season of exploration. Crafted from slub cotton mesh, these shorts feature a vibrant pattern polo dress shirts inspired by traditional serape blankets. All and all, a lovely scent that will be around for decades, those that want a “modern” perfume, go to the corner CVS and get a cheap AXE. There is no age for a great fragrance, and Polo is one of those ageless perfumes that will become a classic.
I’m not sure why this scent is so polarizing, but it definitely can be too overwhelming for some occasions. It’s just such an amazing green leathery tobacco-ey scent that smells like money to me. I still have about 5 mL left in my 1995 bottle, so I can’t judge the current formulation.
An Intense flanker of this fragrance has been on sale for at least 2 weeks at this point and was announced more than a month ago, and it STILL does not have a page on Fragrantica. This is a massive fragrance release, ralph lauren t shirt but Fragrantica is too busy talking about the “fragrance brands” that are founded from hipsters’ garages in Seattle and Portland every week. A hall of fame fragrance for sure. My uncles signature for over 30 years.
I quite enjoyed it—and man has it changed too— but it took a backseat to Polo Green. I wore Polo for about 20 years but it just kept going through reformulations and it is now a watered down, quality stripped shell of the original. It’s Polo, but a cheap imitation of it.
Ralph Lauren’s Polo created an American department store fragrance market for middle-class men to distinguish itself from the drug store banality and the overpriced “classic” French specialization houses. 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 first time I ever smelled this fragrance was when I was a little girl, about 4/5 years old. The big talk about this one is reformulation.
The 2019 bottle I tried yesterday seems to have sorted that out. It was much more of a fresh-pencil-shavings cedar/pine opening and quite pleasant the whole way through. All the nastiness was gone and replaced with a smooth, creamy, earthiness that progressed logically into the drydown that we all know and love.
