Someone may suggest to give the benefit of the doubt to the seller, maybe the seller does not know she is selling counterfeits, maybe I got a counterfeit in a batch of good product. Maybe, but I find such difficult to believe, and very unlikely that my product was one of the few counterfeits in a batch of good product. The most likely scenario is that she has a large batch of counterfeits, whether she knows it or not. Please hear me out, All too often I find myself cringing at the site of well-established men wearing bad fashion.
I really don’t know about the reformulation. The bottle I have is recent and superb. Let me put it this way, if it is reformulated just think of it as a new perfume and it would stand head and shoulders above any new release or any of the new Tom Ford Fougeres. I will always have Polo in my collection, even if I decided to shrink it down to only 10 fragrances. Polo is one of the easiest scents in the world to overspray. I think we’ve all been in the room with a guy who wore too much of this on too warm of a day.
It’s in the same vein as Quorum but comes off more classy and refined to me. You need to be an old school manly man to wear this. I actually find the smell offensive, and I don’t like it, which is exactly the desired effect I think. It bursts my millennial safe space bubble for sure. The strongest note here for me is tobacco, and the performance is decent. For me, this is an easy fragrance to love.
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.

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.
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.

To restore menswear in America, is to develop style modernity and infuse it with a new identity. At Ralph Lauren, tradition is a focal point but modernity is the identity marked in the familiar territory revisited in modified style. It’s a new experience that is attentive to social and cultural developments in menswear.
