A classic as other people have stated . My father wore this scent so I have memories associated with polo original. polo dress shirts It’s a heavy hitter and should be worn properly . definitely for a burly and confident man to wear .
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 polo dress shirts 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.
It’s outdated in the sense that it smells like something that belongs to a specific era and that’s really not compatible with the contemporary taste.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. It’s a very interesting and unique classic scent that’s worth trying just for the sake of your fragrance culture. Growing up in a catholic country, when I was a kid, some groups would have religious figures going house to house for pray-overs. One I remember was of the Virgin Mary. They give out some green cotton doused with minty green oil, and this reminds me of that.
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, 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.
Every time I purchased a bottle, I would be gifted Polo bags and other gifts . I still have several of those bags in the classic green canvas to this day. I used the canvas briefcase for my first job out of college in 1984.
After a fresh and energizing first impression of lemon and bergamot top notes, this Ralph Lauren cologne reveals its sensual side with unexpected hints of red saffron and warm cedarwood. Combining two pillars of Polo style, this shirt features a Western-inspired silhouette rendered in prep-centric cotton madras. Designed with travel and versatility in mind, the layers of our latest Polo Ralph Lauren men’s collection feature lightweight fabrics in neutral tones, ready to wear for any adventure. This scent still insinuates instant credibility and faux sophistication upon even the most banal and superficially unsophisticated older men. A work of art in its capturing of the alpine forest and a timeless classic original.
I wore it uninterrupted throughout my twenties. It now evokes so many memories when I wear it now I just sink into nostalgia. Woody, green, but floral at the same time. It starts bright, leaving trails of grass and moss, before drying into leather and Patchouli, which for me is its dominant note. It has amazing projection and lasts all day.
When I was in my teens, I loved it. To me, it smelled like nothing else. However, as I recall there was a sweet aspect to it back in the day. I have no idea what notes I smelled.
