It’s a masterpiece with a mixes and mysterious notes. I have to add I can feel cinnamon all the time although not mentioned. Stop by Sephora (it’s a mainstay there) and spritz some on your pressure points. What I am polo dress shirts saying is DON’T BLIND BUY. On the plus side, sillage and longevity are awesome, even the reformulated version. A classic that to me is in no way dated. A drydown as remarkable as Rive Gauche, Opium for men and M7.
Perhaps this sort of thing made a lasting impression on me as a kid – Brut and soap-on-a-rope for Xmas, I don’t know. But I’m learning that the woodsy/green/leathers with earthy patch/vetiver/oakmoss drydowns are usually winners for me. The tobacco note in Polo, as elsewhere, only serves to make me love this more. Got a 237ml bottle of this as Xmas present to myself – ‘cos I is werf it. I never wore this on a regular basis in the past but I believe the recently purchased bottle I have, though true to what I remember, has the overall heft and base notes dialed back.
It is almost like the spicy notes are coming through better now as I could mostly only smell a wet green grass note before. So I do think it comes across as a lot more balanced and richer now. I wore this infrequently in high school and only recently reacquired it.

Mainly it seems very green, fresh, and spicy. Vintage Cosmair Polo is by far the king of all fragrances to me alone I suppose. I purchased my first bottle in 1982 and I couldn’t get enough of it. Mind blowing good, everyone wore it and the ladies liked it too. It was the only fragrance I wore until 1994 when my girlfriend bought me Dolce and Gabbana Pour Homme.
This is leafy and dry tobacco rolled up with a bunch of Asian spices just off the ship from Portuguese and Dutch traders back from Malaysia and Indonesia. Italians, Germans and Brits until Polo unleashed Polo Ralph Lauren t shirt this dirty frontiersman like woody monster on the buying public. Do you like warm spice, earthy tobacco, muddy roots, green and damp decaying woods in the late evening just a few degrees above freezing?
