   |  Back when I was a newbie, I bought my fragrances based on the first 5 minutes. That was how I ended up with Polo Black - I found its opening more interesting than that of DOUBLE BLACK which I got as a mini. Bad mistake. For later on I found myself using Double Black more often than Black, preferring the former's spicier, edgier character and especially the nutmegs in dry coffee ground highlights. This is probably one of Ralph Lauren's better releases in recent times, though not in the same class as the legendary Polo. 19 October 2009 |
  |  Being a big fan of the original Polo, I really wanted to like this, but no dice. The opening is peppery and quite promising, kind of like a milder Egoiste. But within minutes, things fall apart, and it's reduced to a dull, sweet, and very generic scent, smelling like hundreds of other boring men's fragrances that designer firms have been releasing for the past ten years. Its drydown is even worse, and smells exactly like one of those pine tree air fresheners for cars you'd buy at a gas station.24 August 2009 |
 | Incense, incense, incense.... After an hour, this smells like a head shop or something, which is a pleasant smell, but not something I would want to smell like..... 30 July 2009 |

| IMHO, Ralph Lauren has created a classic in the Double Black fragrance, and it is currently one of my favorite go-to fragrances. I am not a maven of the entire Polo line to be able to compare -- but it is just plain good. I wish it would last a little longer on my skin -- the 3-4 hours estimate in other reviews is about right for me also. It seems well blended. I cannot detect the specific notes listed...but that is not imperative to me -- if you get a bottle of this (as usual, shop around for a good price!), I do not think you will be disappointed. Two thumbs way up for Double Black! 08 July 2009 |
   | My favorite Polo fragrence. I like to wear this paired with Axe's Dark Temptation body spray and deoderant. The chocolate in dark temptation seems to pair very well with the coffee and other sweet scents in this. Very modern, with a ambience that evokes images of quaint coffee shops and luscious desserts. The opening mango is so interesting but dies down very quickly. I'm not too upset by this because the mid-base notes are equally delicious albeit not as captivating. Worth a look. 29 June 2009 |
