It still lasts well and seems more versatile now to me. A class in a bottle, stands on its own and is a trendsetter – a one and only green and leather chypre with a huge load of tobacco. This is the worst fragrance I’ve ever smelled. I’m not sure what went wrong – but I don’t believe people actually wear whatever I smelled. Smells like being bashed around the head with a pine branch.
Like dozens and dozens of men my age, this scent was what got me into men’s fragrance. My relationship to Polo Ralph Lauren might be summed up as “love the sin, hate the sinner”. To me, this perfume symbolizes ralph lauren t shirt the masculine ideal of the lower-upper-middle class suburban man of the 80s. He is that guy who was the first on his street to get a Macintosh home computer . He bought a small sailing boat at some point .
One year passed and the result was “Polo for Men,” also known as “Polo Green.” But the drydown is immaculate and slightly tobacco without it being smoky. This is such an intoxicating polo dress shirts scent that it becomes you. Once you grow up with this, your standards are so much higher in what you expect a good edt to be. This is something millenials just don’t understand.
This neutrality gives it a status of ‘only for men’. My perfume journey started with this perfume around 25 years ago. It was a gift from my sister from the US. It was suggested to her by her husband.
Considering the overall profile of this scent, I’d recommend it for formal or semi formal occasions, day and night, spring, fall and winter. But, I have difficulties getting over the “green swamp opening” and that’s the reason I can only give it a “like” instead of a “love”. Fragrantica® Trends is a relative value that shows the interest of Fragrantica members in this fragrance over time. In 2004, the Polo Fashion School Polo Ralph Lauren t shirt was established, in which company executives work with inner-city youth to offer insights into the fashion business. The company entered the European market, and went international, in 1981 with the opening of the first freestanding store in New Bond Street in the West End of London, England. Lauren opened his first flagship in the Rhinelander mansion, on Madison Avenue and 72nd Street in New York City in 1986.
