Polo Ralph Lauren
Ralph Lauren launched Polo in 1978, created by Carlos Benaïm. The opening is fresh and green, with juniper berries, basil, and caraway providing a sharp, herbal edge. As the scent develops, it becomes more complex, with pine tree needles and leather adding a woody, earthy depth. Chamomile and rose bring a subtle sweetness, while jasmine and geranium add a floral note. The base is rich and grounding, featuring tobacco, oakmoss, and patchouli, with cedar, vetiver, and musk rounding out the composition. The overall character is a blend of fresh spiciness and earthiness, making it suitable for a casual, outdoor setting in the cooler months, particularly late autumn and early winter, during the day or evening.
