Have you tried Polo Modern Reserve? Close, but not identical.

According to fragrantica.com, Polo is a woody chypre. Polo Green is sorta an old school type scent, so I don't really have a lot of frags in this category. However, one did jump out at me; Terre di Hermes. If you haven't tried it, it's sorta an earthy orange scent. Very good choice for gentlemen in their 40s.

Maybe Quorum, but I prefer Polo over Quorum any day.

To me, Tom Ford Italian Cypress is like a cleaned up, high end, modernized Polo green. Like most of the Tom Ford's, it's potent with good longevity.

I def recommend you at least get a sample if you really like Polo. I got a couple of samples of it and broke out in a big smile when my mind snapped that it smelled like an old friend. It's not an exact match, but there's a nice similarity. I haven't gone full bottle yet, but probably will. I was very impressed with it as a kind of 2008 take on Polo.

The Terre D'Hermes suggestion is also a good one. I wouldn't say it's similar, but has the same kind of vibe. It's nice.
