More about Ralph Lauren Polo
Polo by Ralph Lauren is a 1978 eau de toilette for men, created by perfumer Carlos Benaïm, and Ralph Lauren Polo is the woody aromatic classic in the green bottle. Its top notes are juniper berries, basil, artemisia, caraway, coriander and bergamot, so it opens herbal, green and a little spicy. The heart notes are pine needles, leather, chamomile, pepper, carnation, geranium, jasmine and rose, which bring a dry, leathery warmth to the fresh start. The base notes are tobacco, oakmoss, patchouli, cedar, vetiver, musk and amber, settling into a deep, mossy and smoky drydown. Its main accords are woody, aromatic, fresh spicy, earthy, tobacco and leather. Choose it if you want the original Polo, a confident green-leather classic with real presence.
