Every colleague he’s worked with or student he has taught forever associates him with the scent that remains long after he has left the room. Despite the reformulations through the years and new Polo flankers he insists on his green bottle that to him represents the ultimate man’s man, the ideal gentleman in every sense Polo Ralph Lauren t shirt of the word. 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.
This 90’s batch is incredibly powerful, long lasting, and rich. An all time classic, although not one that fits well with many occasions due to it’s strength and complexity. If nothing else, worth having in the collection simply to spray yourself and smell it while working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. I love Polo, but I would not consider this a very safe or crowd pleasing scent. This was what my dad wore when I was a kid.
It will create an aura of old man though. I’m thinking 50+ with a limp and a beer belly. Definitely clean shaven, maybe a mustache. I mean, I do like it and will probably buy a bottle, but I have a few years before I get there.
Heavy on the pine needles, and a almost burnt out, tar like campfire smell. Honestly it reminds me of a smoky single malt scotch with a medicinal aura about it. Use it sparingly and the colder outside the better. Picked up a decant of this from Perfume.com, and have worn it 3-4 times.
Photography by Macrae Marran/POLO Ralph Lauren At the dawn of a new style horizon, there is something to be said for clothing that doesn’t “look” right. In America today, and sadly enough, there seems to be an abundance of outlandish apparel and accessories available to male consumers. These offerings have flooded the retail market with obnoxious items that seemingly move men out of their comfort style zone and into unchartered distasteful territory.
The product was a very easy-to-tell fake. The counterfeiters do not try to match details of the original product. Of course I returned the fake Polo, why would I want to keep a fake? The seller still has the Polo product advertised in eBay for cheap, which of course I won’t ever buy again.
Women love this one and it is the epitome of masculinity. Several women I’ve been with or past girlfriends express that they love the smell and tend to borrow/keep ralph lauren t shirt my clothes that have the scent lingering. I know that sounds corny, but it’s true. The bottle is stunning as well and looks luxurious on your shelf.
Any alternate option for polo green ? I really love this fragrance but performance for me is disappointing, I currently have 2018 batch . I wore this infrequently in high school and only recently reacquired it. I loved it for its masculine juniper and pine as a child, and now I appreciate the subtle backbone of leather.
It is a powerful antidote to watery, fresh scents; wholly masculine with a unique register of notes. I get the juniper berry, the pine, basil & artemisa, all of which make this very dark, green, and herbal. The other spices and notes are blended together beautifully.
