Ralph Lauren Polo in plain words

What it smells like, how it wears and who it suits.

What it smells like

It opens bright and green, with crisp bergamot and juniper berries over a herbal, slightly spicy edge. The middle turns piney and woody with a rugged, leathery touch, and it settles into an earthy, dry finish of vetiver and tobacco.

How it wears

Wearers find both its staying power and its projection moderate, so it is noticeable without ever being loud.

When to wear it

The perfume community picks it for spring first and summer next, mostly for the daytime and for work.

Who it suits

Suits a man who likes a classic woody, aromatic scent with an earthy, piney feel and a hint of tobacco and leather. It stays moderate in reach, so it is less suited to anyone wanting a big trail.
