Polo: A Timeless Scent For Men?

Customer Reviews

Customers like the smell, value for money, and quality of the cologne. They mention it's a decent-sized bottle for the price, perfect as described, and one of the best they have ever used.

Polo Blue

The Polo Blue collection is a line of men's fragrances by Ralph Lauren. The collection includes the following:

• Polo Blue Limited Edition Eau de Toilette
• Polo Blue Eau de Toilette
• Polo Blue Eau de Parfum
• Polo Blue Deodorant Stick

The Polo Blue collection is inspired by the energy and exhilaration of the ocean, celebrating the power and seduction of a casually elegant seaside lifestyle. The fragrances in the collection are described as cool, fresh, and invigorating.

The original Polo Blue Eau de Toilette, launched in 2003, features top notes of cucumber, melon, and mandarin orange; middle notes of basil, sage, and geranium; and base notes of suede, woodsy notes, and musk. It is a crisp, masculine fragrance that blends fresh melons and cool clary sage with earthy patchouli, musk, and washed suede.

The Polo Blue Eau de Parfum, on the other hand, is described as elegant, sensual, and refined. It conveys a modern contrast between the crisp freshness of bergamot and the seductive intensity of vetiver and ambery woods.

Polo Red

The Polo Red cologne is an intense, fiery, and seductive fragrance for men. With top notes of red grapefruit, cedrat oil, cranberry accord, and lemon oil, it evokes a sense of adrenaline and speed. The heart of the cologne reveals a spicy blend of red saffron, lavandin, and clary sage oil, adding a warm and sensual touch. The base notes of redwood, amber, and coffee berry create a rich, woody finish.

The cologne was designed by Olivier Gillotin and launched in 2013, with an eau de toilette version following later. The eau de toilette opens with sparkling citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit, while the eau de parfum offers a more intense experience.

The Polo Red collection also includes a limited edition eau de parfum, which creates a new level of luxury with rich, natural woods. The range is completed by a deodorant stick, providing an everyday way to wear the fragrance.

The cologne has received positive reviews, with customers praising its scent, quality, and longevity. It is described as a bold, modern, and sensual fragrance, perfect for those seeking an intense and fiery experience.
