If anything this cologne gets the most positive reaction from younger women out of all my colognes. Not exactly “sexy” positive, but “unique” positive, in a good way. All you need is the ’78 Firebird and to unbutton your shirt revealing a hairy chest to complete the picture. I will most likely give an update in the future, maybe on 6 months when I’ve got a more solid opinion, but I have a feeling I’m only going to like this fragrance more.
I only wear this around the house occasionally in the fall and winter months because I love the smell. This is my wife’s favorite of all my fragrances and will always have a place in my collection. Men the world over rely on Ralph Lauren’s dress shirts for a timeless, sophisticated sense of style — from the formal to the dressed-down. A classic piece and a staple for any wardrobe, the perfectly soft and broken-in oxford shirt is a modern masterpiece. A slim fit dress shirt is the perfect workday work horse, especially when paired with a men’s blazer. And for the epitome of laidback ease—from the shores of New England to weekends in the country—casual men’s shirts from Ralph Lauren are an essential part of any relaxed wardrobe.
I love it but you have to be in the right mood and the right state of mind for this, a old school swagger. It defiantly has a wisened gentlemanly feel too it. Like a old library or cigar bar or antique store kind of vibe. Heavy on the pine needles, and a almost burnt out, tar like campfire smell.
Will be appreciated by people with classic tastes. it is very classy , slightly offensive but it makes you feel that you are very rich because of the tobacco notes. I like it soo much .It is one of the top 5 of more than 200+ perfumes I have smelled. I’m apprehensive about bashing this one (but I will- it’s forthcoming) because it’s such a well loved classic. It comes from a different era when fragrances were bolder and you got more bang for your buck. But I gotta tell ya, this stuff is polarizing!
I am glad I made this purchase, but I think I may have been better off seeking a clone of the original formula. I had a department store knock off from years ago, and it was closer to the original than the current formulation. Just got my bottle yesterday, it is a current formulation. When I opened the box the smell was resonating from the package, I was very pleased. I sprayed it on lightly and it was close to what I recalled.
Since launching his namesake company in 1967, designer Ralph Lauren has become the last word in all-American style. Polo Ralph Lauren, the brand’s original line, specializes in casual staples defined by quality fabrics and classic fits. From our edit, expect the key ingredients of a timeless, well-rounded wardrobe, including slim chinos, wool sweaters, and—of course—signature Ralph Lauren polo shirts. Looking for that iconic all American collegiate feel? Polo Ralph Lauren’s oxford shirts carry a reputation for impeccable fit and style. All-over pops of varsity-emblem embroidery shake things up on this classic.
Probably the most classic and the most masculine of all men’s fragrances. I’m only surprised that according to the pyramid, the pine needle and leather notes are in the mid-section, as I feel as though I get a blast of them instantly. That combination, to my nose, are what this perfume is all about – super-fresh pine modified by a soothing, rich brown leather.

On the initial spray you definitely get the pine and the patchouli, almost overwhelming. As it dries down you keep some of the “forest-y” smell from the pine, but the “green” smell dies down and evolves into tobacco notes. As a result I get a “grandpa’s humidor” vibe after the first couple hours. It’s very green, very ralph lauren t shirt woody, and there’s a heaping helping of leather and tobacco hanging out very presently to support those green notes. Like other reviewers said, it really smells like money, not the newer bills made of plastic (I’m Canadian, I don’t know how us bills are nowadays) but the old ones made of paper, like a big stack of it.
If there was 1 scent that I would want to smell like, regardless of day, time, season or circumstance, it would be this one. ultra-hyper masculinity in a bottle. The handsome, Polo Ralph Lauren t shirt fit, complete and versatile man. A traditional man, a loyal man, a good father and a loving husband. Picked up a decant of this from Perfume.com, and have worn it 3-4 times.
