Now and long after he passes away I will keep a bottle to remind me of him. That said, I’m in my 30’s and I don’t mind wearing this selectively around the holiday season. It will never be a daily go-to or even one that gets more than 2 or 3 wearings in a year for me, but it has it’s place in my collection. The 2019 bottle I tried yesterday seems to have sorted that out. It was much more of a fresh-pencil-shavings cedar/pine opening and quite pleasant the whole way through. All the nastiness was gone and replaced with a smooth, creamy, earthiness that progressed logically into the drydown that we all know and love.
The dry-down maintains the green, woody vibe, and the patchouli, oakmoss, vetiver, leather and tobacco keep it dark and polo dress shirts mature. I do also get the geranium, jasmine and chamomile. In fact, everything is well balanced and well blended.

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 seems to contain all the qualities I have been looking for in fragrances like Aramis and Caron Yatagan. It is definitely a green leather chypre devoid of the awkward “celery note” of Yatagan and with a bit cleaner, more defined and spicier drydown than Aramis . I get mainly artemisia and pine, oakmoss and vetiver, tobacco, rugged old school leather accord , just the right amount of sweetness in the background. Of course, it still has that boozy classic men’s cologne smell that is far from clean by modern standards. At the same time, it has more depth than I would have imagined. Not sure about the performance, though — seems to morph into a skin scent as fast as the two aforementioned classics nowadays.
For me, it’s difficult to separate the emotional connection and memories associated with this scent from the actual fragrance. Polo is a deep, heavy scent; it’s a well-balanced Polo Ralph Lauren t shirt blend of greens, herbs, spice, and leather. It can be overpowering if applied to heavily, but used in moderation it’s simply a great all-purpose fragrance.
Interlock is 100% cotton according to their website. Our personal preference is to dry clean our polos to prevent fade and premature collar wear, but this is a bit extreme in time and cost, but it does extend the life by years from our experience. There are two different fabric options but both are cotton variants. These options are cotton Mesh and cotton Interlock. Cotton Mesh is the original fabric for the Polo and it is what most people wear.
