The opening is very, very strong and a little offensive, but it does dry down into something decent. Now, I’m willing to endure a bit, just a bit, of a stinky opening for a good middle and closing act. Although the opening is quite hard to handle for me, the heart notes and the base notes are a delight. Just got a 2.0 oz splash bottle of the Cosmair version of After Shave. It smells exactly what I remember back in the day, but the silage is only several hours if that, not quite as long as the the EDT.
Fall and Winter only for this bad boy, and days vs. nights. One of my favourite frangraces, real masculine smell with great longevity, which gives you time to enjoy it in its different stages.starts of with grassy notes than finishes off with a leathery scent. It’s my signature scent and I have almost 40 fragrances so I have tried a lot. Still, it’s not a blind buy because the smell is so distinct. Polo by Ralph Lauren (“Polo Green”) is one that I bought again. It’s somewhat divisive; I get the best and worst comments on this one, but the good comments outweigh the bad by far.

Polo tried hard to add flankers, red, blue, that weird orange one. Keep producing just this in that vintage green bottle and I’ll be happy. I’m surprised how little I want to use but it’s because I need to keep this bottle for the rest of my life. This is definitely a barbershop type fragrance; I’ve used aftershaves which smelled very similar. It’s quite nice, but it’s not my favourite of this genre, or at this price point, so I’m not likely to get a full bottle unless I come across one at a yard sale or for pennies online. I wonder if some of the older formulations would have impressed me more.
Hopefully, it will stay around for a long, long time. Workplaces and society in general are less tolerant of fragrances than they used to be. It has impacted Polo’s wearability in 2019, and you don’t smell it as much as you used to. Supposedly, it’s been reformulated to reflect this and I’ve read that a lot of men prefer the vintage Cosmair formula to today’s version.
Still smells great but unfortunately for me my stepfather still wears this and I have a hard time wearing this and feeling like it’s my own. I only wear this around the house occasionally in the fall and winter months because I love the smell. This is my wife’s favorite of all my fragrances and will always have a place in my collection. The dry-down maintains the green, woody vibe, and the patchouli, oakmoss, vetiver, leather and tobacco keep it dark and mature.
It’s in the same vein as Quorum but comes off more classy and refined to me. You need to be an old school manly man to wear this. I actually find the smell offensive, and I don’t like it, which is exactly Polo Ralph Lauren t shirt the desired effect I think. It bursts my millennial safe space bubble for sure. The strongest note here for me is tobacco, and the performance is decent. For me, this is an easy fragrance to love.
But where Polo shines is in longevity and projection. It lasts 4-6 hours on my skin with 2-3 sprays, and 8-10 hours with 5-6 sprays. Projection is at least arms length throughout.It even has lasted 2 days on fabric.
He might be the ultimate successful boomer. Polo is heavily hit by counterfeiters. I recently bought a 4 oz bottle from Gilbcol-96 for less than $40 USD.
