Initially it’s a blast of pine, but that passes quickly, and then it’s straight up tobacco (to my nose, the wife says “pine”). I didn’t care for it at first, but with each polo dress shirts successive wear, it’s wearing me down. I now find it intriguing and want to get to know it better. One spritz of this to the neck/chest lasts for a very long time.
We manage all this for you and provide real time support. Used items may show a few signs of wear or fading, but anything major will be highlighted in the description or on our photos. Since all our garments differ in material, country of manufacture, sizing, eras, fit etc. We measure all our clothes in order to give the most accurate measurements compared to modern day sizing. After branding the sale of sweaters online as “Cowichan”, it was reported that Cowichan Tribes would take “steps to communicate with Ralph Lauren and ensure that our product and name is protected”. A petition through Change.org was set up to encourage Ralph Lauren to take action.
It is such a waste of presenting dignified and mature character. You want to appear well-dressed as well as being up-to-date. Being up-to-date means wearing new product offerings. Each season, styles, colors, cuts and even fabrics change. All too often, in the summer, I witness men wearing faded-out and stained polo shirts and shorts.
But it is definitely a very formal scent. I wouldn’t recommend for every day use. No brand captures all-American flair quite like Polo Ralph Lauren. Established in the late ’60s, the original men’s line perfected preppy style by transforming Ivy League and country club wear into everyday apparel that promised simple sophistication. Representing a true Americana personage, the lifestyle brand continues to deliver cult-classic designs, including the polo player and bear motifs, which seamlessly adapt to each passing cultural obsession. Whether by way of clean-cut oxford shirts, staple t-shirts, or classic baseball caps, unfussy statements continue to be vital facets of the label’s identity.
Once he purchased his own and started to use it, he just didn’t like it as much. Smelling this for the first time was like meeting someone and feeling you had known them your whole life. This resonated with me far more than any other fragrance and I now have almost 50. This is No.1 and only the original Givenchy Gentleman comes remotely close. Givenchy Gentleman got me into fragrance collecting, but Polo has turned me into a fragrance youtuber.
The opening is very, very strong and a little offensive, but it does dry down into something decent. Now, I’m willing to endure a bit, just a bit, of a stinky opening for a good middle and closing act. Although the opening is quite hard to handle for me, the heart notes and the base notes are a delight. Just got a 2.0 oz splash bottle of the Cosmair version of After Shave. It smells exactly what I remember back in the day, but the silage is only several hours if that, not quite as long as the the EDT.
Trends comes and go, but a no-frills Brooks Brothers dress shirt is forever. “Ralph Lauren to Outfit Players at Wimbledon”. In the past, Wimbledon has done its own design of officials’ uniforms. Ralph Lauren Corporation is the exclusive Official Parade Outfitter for the U.S.
It can be worn by anyone who can carry off the masculine feel. Because I had smelled this before and didn’t realize I would recognize it, my first recent application felt like surrealistic time traveling to childhood. Even though newer versions are weaker, the rich leathery pine smell is still classic and classy.
Still smells great but unfortunately for me my stepfather still wears this and I have a hard time wearing this and feeling like it’s my own. 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. The dry-down maintains the green, woody vibe, and the patchouli, oakmoss, vetiver, leather and tobacco keep it dark and mature.
