The house

More from Ralph Lauren

Ralph Lauren is an American fashion house that dates from 1967, and its perfumes, which arrived in 1978, share the same relaxed, sporty confidence. The range here is mostly for men: bright citrus, sage and lavender on top, with vetiver, patchouli and cedar below. Polo Red is the lively place to start, citrus and juicy fruit on a warm amber base. The newer Polo, from 2024, is aromatic and woody, while Ralph's Club Parfum adds fresh spice to that aromatic core. Big Pony keeps things crisp and citrusy, and Polo Sport Fresh brings a marine, green breeze. Wear a couple before choosing a bottle.
