Basenotes says...
Bright, bold, cobalt blue - The sleek contoured design was inspired by the shape of a water bottle. The cap is patterned to represent the design of a bar bell weight. Well that's what I was told anyhow. It's got lots of seaweed in it, which seems a bit disturbing, but it's not put many people off, as it's the worlds number one "Sports" fragrance. Don't ask me what makes a fragrance a "sports fragrance" apart from the name. I once drunk a whole bottle and I didn't run any faster.

   |  I find Polo Sport to be very much in the same vein as Cool Water and Eternity, both of which, I thoroughly enjoy. There is a clean, minty-fresh vibe to Polo Sport that is rather uplifting and invigorating. I get a nice leafy aroma as well. Well popular in the 90s, and for good reasons. It does seemed designed to evoke the imagery of "fresh masculinity".29 October 2009 |
 | I grew up near the sea so I know the smell of seaweed; it is essentially briny but probably too subtle to have that much of an impact on a fragrance. In any case Ralph Lauren's website only mentions a 'sea breeze' accord which instantly made me think of Ferragamo's Subtil, just not POLO SPORT. For me, this scent opens with an effervescent, alcohol-fueled sucker punch which jolts you awake before settling down to a sweet somewhat boozy miasma of 'cucumber and melon', to my nose at least, without relying on cheat sheets. I know fresh aquatics get little love around here but this one gets mine; I finished 2 bottles of the juice! So if you're sick of yours, be a sport, send them my way. And remind me again why Cool Water finished second best in the early '90s. 18 September 2009 |
  | Polo Sport is the antithesis of the type of fragrance I would buy. I hate acquatic and sports fragrances. But I really like Polo Sport. What sets this fragrance apart from all the other dreck containing the words "Sport", "Blue", "Fresh" or "Energy" is what I assume is the "seaweed" note. If I'm correct, it gives the rather mainstream Cool Water-like accord a warm but salty and earthy tinge, and it smooths and rounds out the sharper edges of the accord much in the same way a musk or deep amber would. It is quite unusual and very interesting. Luckily, this seaweed note lasts into the drydown. Don't be a snob, ignore the word "sport" in the name and the blue bottle, and give Polo Sport a try. It's really very good. 24 August 2009 |
  | One of my all-time favorite colognes. Still. It does everything right for me. Super fresh and clean without a trace of cleaning products :) Pleasantly and Mildly spicy and tart. Just barely enough sweetness to the mild citrus/fruit. A hint of woods and fresh greens. Effervescent/minty without coming off sharp/offensive. And most important, realistically and genuinely AQUATIC without being cold or sterile. No trace of chlorine, fake olfactory freeze FX, or powdery "aquatic florals". Just a very clean, refreshing, genuine, organic sea essence. Both thumbs way up. Now they need to make a dark oriental I like as much as this :) 21 June 2009 |
  |  For some reason i had remembered this as a great smelling frag. So when i was able to find it in my local perfume sttore i did not hesistate to buy it, a BIG mistake that was. Not only that it was the 125ml bottle so i wasted the most amount of money possible on it! It is very synthetic and smells like (agreeing with machineo) dirty socks. Lasting power, well lets just say this is not a war of atrition otherwise it would be over v v quikly! Waste of time and money completely disgusted now im left with a frag so rubbish to give to my friends [they'll think i playin a prank of some sort]. Sold under name only nothing else. What a waste!!!!! 10 June 2009 |

| Minty, bright, fresh, and very strong. Exactly what the tried to do, most likely. Old school, high schooler appropriate, but very good. 05 June 2009 |
