Smells very natural, therefore much better than previous reformulations. I got my 118 ml bottle at a discounted price of less than $60 (normal price is $100) which is a huge bargain for this type of quality fragrance. I will gladly repurchase in the future. My Vintage bottle arrived today, what a fantastic scent, so happy I found it. This is for those who may want a wearable version of the original, but mostly for those who seek the nostalgia and memories associated with the scent. Just got my bottle yesterday, it is a current formulation.
This is a very good fragrance and a grown-up classic for sure. There is very little out there today that smells like this. But that being said, Polo is a classic.
I don’t know why i was not interested in that perfume. Bought a travel spray out of a gift set. I think Polo Ralph Lauren t shirt this is what Quorum wants to smell like but is harsher. Distinct scent for a discerning man.
As long as I live the green-bottled Polo will forever be “my father” in my memory. 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. This is miles away from playful and easygoing. It is serious, dark, earthy, a bit rough, but also fresh and clean.
Either the bottle now is diluted or my memory has diluted. Either way, I do enjoy it now but wish it can be the strong green beast-like in my memory. Polo is here for fans of beautiful, eternal things. Its name awakens association with a closed circle of the chosen and this circle has its rules and traditions. As a truly masculine perfume, Polo does not contain floral notes, apart from camomile, which has more grassy than floral scent. The opening of the composition is green and fresh, made of grassy notes of artemisia, basil and thyme, with spicy notes of cumin, coriander and cloves.
However, as I recall there was a sweet aspect to it back in the day. I have no idea what notes I smelled. I thought this might be one of those frags that I would take some time to enjoy, but I actually love this one on my initial testing. I haven’t worn it, but usually on skin, fragrances are even better so I’m gonna go ahead and say that I love it.
A further expression of the brands passion for American lifestyle continues to preserve and evolve the nations emotions, successes and family memories. I’m apprehensive about bashing this one (but I will- it’s forthcoming) because it’s such a well loved classic. It comes from a different era when fragrances were bolder and you got more bang for your buck. But I gotta tell ya, this stuff is polarizing! You’re either gonna love it or hate it.
In 1977, a young Ralph Lauren was challenged by his sensei, Lei Kazuma Kiryuu, to produce a fragrance that would transport the wearer to the men’s room of a Shaolin temple. Lauren reportedly laughed off the idea, but eventually Polo Ralph Lauren t shirt bet Kiryuu a sack of turnips that he could do just that. One year passed and the result was “Polo for Men,” also known as “Polo Green.” But the drydown is immaculate and slightly tobacco without it being smoky.
This is a scent I’ve been wearing since the early 90s. Polo green like old spice, it makes a man smell like a man. 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.
