I prefer this oldie more then the new popular fragrences of today. It’s a classic and it’s for a real man not a teeny weeny. If you want to smell like a real man wear this and if you don’t want to smell like a man wear polo dress shirts what’s available today. I recently picked up a Cosmair version off of Ebay with only 10 percent remaining in the bottle – totally worth it. One spray – no kidding – was like 10 sprays of the weak 4-cylinder version.
Performance wise it is a beast for me. I find that applying some Vaseline on the area and then spraying helps longevity as well (good for your skin, too!). However, I’m youngish so my experience has been positive since most of my peers don’t remember or weren’t around for the 70s or 80s and haven’t smelled this.
Great longevity and sillage in the old version. I will being exploring the new version to see how it compares and if it holds up well in reformulation, it will be my next FB. I am wearing it today for the first time after almost 4 months and what an awesome fragrance! I am not sure if it is my imagination but it smells much more pleasant that what it did in December. It could be that the contents had to settle or mature in the bottle as is the case with my Aventus and other fragrances. It is almost like the spicy notes are coming through better now as I could mostly only smell a wet green grass note before.
Distinct scent for a discerning man. My parents just celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary this week and of course he wore Polo when he took mom out to dinner in his best tweed suit. As long as I live the green-bottled Polo will forever be “my father” in my memory.
Polo Ralph Lauren oxford shirts will always be a classic go-to wardrobe staple, so you’ll want to make sure you take good care of it to last for years to come. Made with 100% cotton, we recommend machine washing it on a cold setting with like colors to reduce the chances of shrinkage and to prevent the dye from fading. You may choose to dry clean Polo , but it’s not necessary. When in doubt, a plaid button-down is always a popular go-to look. Paired well tucked in or out of casual jeans or dress pants, it’s no wonder this style made it onto the most wanted list. You can find Polo Ralph Lauren classic plaid oxfords available in a wide variety of color combinations and slim, classic, and relaxed fits.
