So I tried polo green the other say and kind of liked it. My wife was not too impressed, she said it was "allright" whatever that means. (btw she really likes Issey Miyake eua d'issey).
I wore Bulgari aqva today and enjoyed it -- much lighter and fresher then the woody, spicy polo green.
Then after I got home from a martial arts class, took a shower and spritzed on some polo black - 2 to the chest, one to the back of the neck/hair. Maybe a bit too much, because when my wife walked in the room a few minutes later she said "whew, what'd ya do, pour on the whole bottle?"
Anyway, I am sitting here, about an hour later, not really digging it. It has a lemony sweet sort of thing which doesn't fit with the other...I don't know, I guess spicy aspect. The fragrance directory says the top notes contain iced mango and green effervescent accord and spanish sage. I don't know what that all means, but I am thinking the mango and the sage together are bothering me. I will say, I like it a little more now that the initial burst has died down a bit. Maybe I will like the drydown or the bassnotes better. But the initial topnotes have put me off a bit.
Tomorrow I try the blue, and see what happens. Got all three bottles for $50, not too bad, but I'll be a bit disappointed if I only end up liking one of the three. I liked all three of them when I sampled them at the counter (which was a few days after I had done a blind online order). I'm the type that'll try to use them up, even if I don't love them, because I hate wasting stuff.
