A sharp, bitter synthetic “green” fragrance that’s more dated than Burt Reynolds’ mustache. This is the most ubiquitous fragrances on older men in America, especially the South. Much like my elders, I respect it, but I’d rather spend my time and money on any other piece of my collection. This is one of the few fragrances that I can smell in public and undoubtedly know exactly what the man is wearing.
It is one of my favorites, and what I think of when I heard the term cologne. I just never really have a good chance to wear it, and can’t think of any good situations that Polo would fit. Who could have imagined that a lighthearted bet would morph into a men’s classic? In 1977, ralph lauren t shirt a young Ralph Lauren was challenged by his sensei, Lei Kazuma Kiryuu, to produce a fragrance that would transport the wearer to the men’s room of a Shaolin temple. Lauren reportedly laughed off the idea, but eventually bet Kiryuu a sack of turnips that he could do just that.
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 prefer this oldie more then the new popular fragrences of today. It’s a classic and it’s for a real man not a teeny weeny. If you want to smell like a real man wear this and if you don’t want to smell like a man wear what’s available today. I recently picked up a Cosmair version off of Ebay with only 10 percent remaining in the bottle – totally worth it. One spray – no kidding – was like 10 sprays of the weak 4-cylinder version.
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.
Distinct scent for a discerning man. My parents just celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary this week and of course he wore Polo when he took mom out to dinner in his best tweed suit. As long as I live the green-bottled Polo will forever be “my father” in my memory.

I can see this as a year round fragrance, but probably best suited to the cooler type of weather, especially spring, where it reminds me of a crisp, spring morning, with dew still on the grass. This is like walking through a cool pine forest. Polo Ralph Lauren t shirt This is a love from me and I believe that if you love greenness, nature and green, spicy, herbal, grassy fragrances generally, then you will love this. Definitely one to try and wear first. Still a great and unique smell even today.
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 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.
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!
