This is very similar to the original Polo in the green bottle but with a big hint of sport.
It something that a younger crowd can wear and isnt as strong in-your-face old-man as the original.
The intro definitley starts out like the original and soon is taken over with new additions that add energy.
Smells great!

IMHO, this is the best RL creation out there at the moment. It's longevity is astounding.

Gorgeous from start to finish.

smelled like tasty fruits on the card.... sprayed it on and got a nasty green smell, reminds me of cutting the grass or something... fruit comes out a little later but I can't stop thinking about an ash tray when i smell this... must be some kind of wood or something. I can't really find anything pleasant with this cologne.

Polo Explorer has a strongly aromatic opening, and the aromatic impact continues for the relatively speedy run of the fragrance. The cistus from the middle is likely responsible for this dominant force. It adds an aura to Polo Explorer that probably accounts for the feeling of strength and potency as well as for the implication of wood. To be honest, I really don’t think the fragrance (except for the aromatics) projects very well, and I really don’t smell the wood listed in the base of the pyramid. The sandalwood and mahogany (there’s mahogany there?) are quite recessive and the least potent elements in the entire fragrance. But the amber and patchouli come through beautifully to augment what is essentially a cistus / semi-leather fragrance with a consistent bergamot background and bit of a coriander freshness. What wood impact is there is attributable to the patchouli, and since patchouli qualifies as wood, I guess Explorer deserves the label “woody aromatic”: But it would be a clearer distinction to call it an aromatic patchouli fragrance … or, better yet, a lightweight aromatic. All that said, I must say I rather enjoy Explorer: This is a chancy departure for Ralph Lauren… And Explorer and Polo Double Black seem to begin to show that maybe RL is again getting serious about creating decent fragrances. I welcome that… it’s been a long dry spell and it would be excellent to find a deserving heir to Polo Green and Safari.

Let me start out by saying that I really liked this product when first spraying it on. It was until a couple of hours later during the drydown that I got annoyed by the smell. It is not an intoxicating smell in the long run but may be so at first spray. The longevity is long but that may not be a good thing since the smell can annoy you after a while. This fragrance went from a thumbs up to a neutral and almost negative in my opinion. This is a fragrance that does not require many sprays. Try before buying.

nice, green frag, just like the bottle, it's nice too, very simple with no label on it. the only downside of this frag is that it fades super quick, last for about 5 minutes, once you get outdoor, it disappears...
