Smells green all day long – if you would like something more cleaner and less daring then floris 1962 is an option. A true Masterpiece of art in fragrance. All others should bow down before the great green Polo god. Lasts 4 to 5 hours on me, and radiates around 5 feet away.
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.
Nothing gender neutral or metrosexual about this, it’s out there letting others know this what it means to be manly. It’s old skool in the same category as cerruti 1886, Givenchy gentleman, quorum. the kind of aftershave your dad or grandad still wears. I’m not sure this appeals to a younger generation and you either love it or hate. But it is definitely a very formal scent.
In 1972, Lauren released a short-sleeve cotton shirt in 24 colors. This design, emblazoned with the company’s famed logo—that of a polo player, created by tennis pro René Lacoste—became the brand’s signature look. In 1977 Ralph Lauren Corporation introduced a signature cotton mesh polo shirt in various colours, featuring the polo player logo on the chest. 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.
It still lasts well and seems more versatile now to me. A class in a bottle, stands on its own and is a trendsetter – a one and only green and leather chypre with a huge load of tobacco. This is the worst fragrance I’ve ever smelled. I’m not sure what went wrong – but I don’t believe people actually wear whatever I smelled. Smells like being bashed around the head with a pine branch.
Ralph Lauren has always stood for providing quality products, creating worlds and inviting people to take part in the Polo Ralph Lauren dream. They were the innovators of lifestyle advertisements that tell a story and the first to create stores that encourage customers to participate in that lifestyle. THE ICONIC offers a curated range of Polo Ralph Lauren apparel and accessories, catering to every corner of the modern man’s wardrobe. Polo Golf represents the best of the timeless Polo style, reinvented for the fairway with modern fits and the latest performance fabrics.
Polo by Ralph Lauren (“Polo Green”) is one that I bought again. It’s somewhat divisive; I get the best and worst comments on this one, but the good comments outweigh the bad by far. On the initial spray you definitely get the pine and the patchouli, almost overwhelming.
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. What I really would like to know is in what respects does the “Modern Reserve” differ to the “After Shave” splash on, and the “EDT”? Fragrances like this Polo Ralph Lauren t shirt are a symbol of maturity and a solid strong personality; just made for men that are not looking for compliments but to wear the fragrance they only appreciate and love. This is a milestone in men’s perfumery. Probably the most classic and the most masculine of all men’s fragrances.
Basically, what hits you first is the mix of cut grass and other plants, then the unmistakable piquant smell of the black pepper. 90% of what I’ve sampled before have been women’s fragrances, which tend to skimp on the black pepper. While I think that it would smell quite masculine and attractive on a man, I’m not sure that a woman wouldn’t be able to wear it in the right circumstances.
Considering the overall profile of this scent, I’d recommend it for formal or semi formal occasions, day and night, spring, fall and winter. But, I have difficulties getting over the “green swamp opening” and that’s the reason I can only give it a “like” instead of a “love”. Fragrantica® Trends is a relative value that shows the interest of Fragrantica members in this fragrance over time. In 2004, the Polo Fashion School was established, in which company executives work with inner-city youth to offer insights into the fashion business. The company entered the European market, and went international, in 1981 with the opening of the first freestanding store in New Bond Street in the West End of London, England. Lauren opened his first flagship in the Rhinelander mansion, on Madison Avenue and 72nd Street in New York City in 1986.
