Polo (1978)
by Ralph Lauren

It's a great fragrance! It's Masculine, It's lady killer, It's sexy! great for hunting!
I'm talking as a dinosaur in stone ages!!!!
Usually a T'Rex would wear this to attract several female T.Rex to make a group for human hunting!

Where I live, in the 80's, Polo replaced Dior's Eau sauvage in gay clubs until Guy Laroche's Drakkar noir came along. Wearing Polo almost automatically meant you were gay. As a matter of fact, many heterosexual men refused to wear Polo for fear of being mistaken for gay. On some rare lucky guys, Polo had a rather interesting ambery spicy cinnamony smell but on most people, it was the cheap headachy patchouli stench that came out. I tried Polo hoping the sweet spicy notes would come out strong. Not a chance. I reeked of patchouli like almost everybody else. I haven't smelled Polo for years. It is no longer a popular fragrance and quite frankly, I am very glad it is gone. Now if the same thing could happen to Guerlain's Samsara, the world would be a much better place.

Too much brutality, even for 1978...
I really think that chemical recipe for this scent is wrong - it should have been smoother, but somebody made a mistake in writing, and it entered market like it is...
Please note: it is not outdated - this scent is timeless in its rude appearance.

Polo Green moves past the olfactory border skirmish of many modern fragrances and straight to thermo-nuclear war. The initial blast of Polo Green can be unsettling and off-putting if over applied. This stuff can clear a room faster than a honey badger on the loose. Apply with care and you get a beautiful, pine, leather, woodsy, patchouli scent that is unabashedly masculine and self-assured. Polo Green is a true masterpiece. One of the best coniferous fragrances out there. If you haven't already done so, do try, do buy, but for god's sake, do not over-apply.

Very intriguing scent. Just too strong and bitter.

I really like the original Polo. The new ones smell similar to the vintage one. But I still think the vintage version is the one to die for (which i find is richer, spicier,longer-lasting..etc). seems that younger people generally do not like traditional scents like these, saying they smell like their old uncle or grandfather. personally, i find there is nothing wrong with that at all. grandfathers or uncles are humans and if it appealed to them, there must be something good about it, whether they born today or 50 years ago. for me, maybe it simply brought back wonderful memories of my younger years. polo crest is another wonderful scent. i think people who like polo green will also like polo crest as they are rather similar imo.
