Polo caters to enthusiasts of all things exquisitely timeless. Its name evokes the exclusivity of an elite circle—one bound by its own set of rules and long-honored traditions. True to its identity as a quintessentially masculine fragrance, Polo is free of floral accords, save for chamomile, whose aroma leans more grassy than floral.
The opening unfolds with a crisp, verdant burst: grassy notes of artemisia, basil, and thyme take center stage, elevated by the warm spice of cumin, coriander, and cloves. At its heart lies a robust, distinctly masculine core of coniferous woods, enhanced by earthy undertones of patchouli, oakmoss, and vetiver. The base, anchored by leather, tobacco, and thyme, lingers as a rich, intense sillage that leaves a lasting impression.
A cornerstone of Ralph Lauren’s olfactory legacy, Polo was among the brand’s first two fragrances, crafted by perfumer Carlos Benaim in 1978.
