I don’t know why i was not interested in that perfume. Bought a travel spray out of a gift set. I think this is what Quorum wants to smell like but is harsher. Distinct scent for a discerning man.
A couple of hours after application the smell just gets better and better. Fresh, clean, spicy, classy and luxurious. It seems like there will be no performance issues with my item. I never used the vintage formula but I am more than impressed with the June 2018 product. I was able to smell it on my arm still 8 hours later which is more than satisfactory.
I’m not sure what the perfumer originally intended to evoke with this scent but in the light of typical colognes these days I smell a pipe smoking hairy lumberjack. Not a pansy rich polo player with palm olive hands. Kinda makes me wish I was in high school in the early 80s when this was a normal everyday scent. I remember seeing the bottle as a kid thinking that that’s what men’s cologne looks like. Vintage Cosmair Polo is by far the king of all fragrances . I purchased my first bottle in 1982 and I couldn’t get enough of it.
Today, American men expect fashion to offer everyone the possibility to get multiple use out of the item. For example, clothes must be versatile enough to wear to work, an event or even out on the weekend- in the glorious Hamptons. Now is the time to display a new vision and a new way of bringing American menswear to life.
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.
In the dry-down, there is woodruff, although it’s not listed. This is not at all unpleasant – I’m not sure why so many people ralph lauren t shirt count it among their most hated fragrances. It’s mostly floral on me, with mild notes of pine, vetiver, and wood.
