Since I was a small child I loved the smell because it IS my daddy. Every colleague he’s worked with or student he has taught forever associates him with the scent that remains long after he has left the room. Despite the reformulations through the years and new Polo flankers he insists on his green bottle that to him represents the ultimate man’s man, the ideal gentleman in every sense of the word. Some say that it was a fragrance of its time, and is hard to wear nowadays. It is a powerful antidote to watery, fresh scents; wholly masculine with a unique register of notes.
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 Ralph Lauren t shirt 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.
The crew neck is the iconic choice and more casual. The V-neck is more universally flattering yet a bit more formal. For the V-neck appeal, but more casual look, select a sweater with a half-zip neck.
I hope, for the sake of this legend, that it is better than what has been offered for the previous few years. The Polo Ralph Lauren brand is part of the wider circle of Ralph Lauren lines and represents the sportiest and preppiest of all the ranges available from this internationally renowned name in fashion. Premium denims, impeccable tailoring and vintage-inspired classics are all combined to define the Polo Ralph Lauren style, which continues to evolve to catch the eye of contemporary fashion fans.
I’m not sure what the perfumer originally intended to evoke with this scent but in the light of typical colognes these days I smell a pipe smoking hairy lumberjack. Not a pansy rich polo player with palm olive hands. Kinda makes me wish I was in high school in the early 80s when this was a normal everyday scent. Today’s version of Polo Green only lasts about 2 hours on me and then it’s a skin scent. The OG lasted for 12 or more hours and it still projected and had great silage through the day.
