lol I just bought both because both seemed interesting/ up my alley. I like both but liked the polo red opening way more than Eros flame. Both are good on the dry down. I think Eros flame has a little more citrus zing to it but red is sweet and smooth throughout
Great review. I agree with your description and am amazed there is no leather. I didn't read the ingredients and just assumed that it was a soft leather fragrance, once the fruity opening dies down. It is very pleasant.
Now this is why I finally believe body chemistry matters because the opening for me last for 2-3 hours and projecting for 6 to 7 hours so far today. I have warmer than average skin temp so maybe this oil needs higher temps to project
Right on. Only tested it on paper, but immediately recognized it as Polo Red. Seemed like a proper parfum flanker to me, just like Blue Parfum. Now I'm REALLY hoping for Polo Green Parfum, but...I probably won't hold my breath. Ditto with Black. Especially since the other colours are still available. Polo white, orange, yellow and purple. Taste the rainbow. 🌈
Picked up the gift set at the outlet store today 125ml bottle with bonus 40ml bottle same price as 125 ml alone after discount it was a steal. always great reviews
I loved the og polo red and when I smelled this one I loved it just as much if not more. Long time polo fan and I just ordered this one and blue parfum lol to add to the collection. Red was my OG go to so I had to get this one.
Thanks, Ash! I have to live with a Polo frag for a while in normal rotation to really test it out. Always looking for a Red Intense twist to show up some day.😢 Will try this one out once my frag account gets a refill. . .😅
I am a super sucker for the entire red line. I think they did a good job, number one by keeping it different but at the same time spinning new vibes. The parfum does wear like a parfum. Strong and heavy. Ralph Lauren is not famous for performance. Lately I've come to really grasp the performance issue. Ever since I use a cab or Uber to get to and from work, I get to often hear a honest opinion on how I smell going to work where I just applied a scent, to when I go home and may or may not be smelling like anything. I've had 6-12 hour work days and almost every time I come home wearing this amazing Polo Red Parfum I get the driver to say something. For the most part everyone loves this. I love this and this lasts on me all day. It's direction went very sweet and dense. Very dense. Try spraying this on and sniff where you applied this a long breath. It develops almost as you smell it. You smell the complexity or at least I do. Hey Polo, if you care about your loyal consumers, do a EDP and Parfum and Elixir of the Polo Green. Come on it's only been decades and do the fans justice. It's an insult the last few times I smelled the newer formulas you use. It may catch the attention of new frag lovers but come on. I used to use this in the 1980's, put it on, use the house phone, the smell would be on that phone four days later.
Sprayed it at Macy's and liked the opening so much, I tested it on my arm. I love the opening, a LOT. But the further it got into the dry down the more there was a note that I didn't like that was getting stronger and stronger on my skin. After an hour or so, I had to tap out and wash it off. Disappointed, because I really enjoyed that opening. Still, everyone's skin is different, so I definitely recommend giving it a try.
The only Polo Reds I've really enjoyed are Intense and Extreme. In theory, I should love the whole, but that's because traditionally Polo Red scents utilize two notes I love: Coffee and Cranberry. The new Polo Red Parfum has neither and it sounds like a weak projector on top of that. Ralph Lauren is pretty hit or miss, but when they hit, I love their stuff. Purple Label, Polo Blue Parfum, Deep Blue, Gold Blend, Ralphs Club Parfum, Polo Red Intense and Extreme, Polo Cologne Intense, even Polo Earth; all fantastic. But they've dropped some stinkers as well, and this one seems like I might be putting it in that category.
i hate it when i smell a frag and i like it so i come on youtube to see what others think jt to find theres like 5 different versions lol i have the edp sample and it smells fire but i wasnt sure of the longevity etc
My polo red intense is about to finish up and I'm so sad that it was discontinued. What do you think I should get if I want the same smell? I really want that fragrance.
I’m very new to this and is that refill thing true? I mean it says it on the side but how much of a price difference is it and do all cologne brands do this or just select ones?
@@Seasniffer1969 I heard you can just walk into like a macys or Sephora and ask for a refill, rather than purchasing a brand new bottle, for much less. But you have to have the empty bottle with you. I’m just not sure how it all works and what colognes you can do it with.
@@jessiewhite7783 oooooh I guess I did not catch that part! What the hecko. I must have a dollar store version of Sephora in my town because the best they do is dunhill icon and dolce n gabanna as far as lines. Very limited for men.Absolutely nothing was newer or high end. So I'd never go back there
I got a 200 ml 6.7 ounce bottle of the Polo Red Eau de Parfum at Macy's Black Friday 2022 for $70 im not sure but to me the scent doesn't last im at about 1/2 bottle and i recently order a 200 ml 6.7 ounce bottle of the Versace Eros Flame in Eau de Parfum as well paid full price $140 which im hoping it'll be better on longevity and projection vs the Polo Red Eau de Parfum its like they diluted their recipe
So I have worn red polo black logo for years I go to buy a new bottle and it’s silver label now can someone explain this to me my current bottle that just went out was solid red bottle with black logo non transparent glass.
You're late to the game my friend. Bought the polo red parfum a few weeks ago and quickly became my favorite. I would put it up there with versace flame eros.
I seen that iFragrance or Parfumo or ONE of those sites had this listed as being closest to scent profile to Nassamatos Absinthe..does anyone happen to know or own both and/or see a resemblance in them by chance as I currently own Absinthe HOWEVER have yet to try this one..thanks in advance guys
I smelled this in Macys and I think it’s one of the best new releases this year just based on smell
I think this stuff smells absolutely phenomenal! Love the sweetness and the freshness imparted by the cedar basenote. Just wonderful.
Recently I bought the Ralph's Club Parfum. Plesantly surprised by it. Very mature scent. Not too loud, and beautiful blended.
I just smelled that today. Definitely a good scent. Kinda gave me Gucci vibes
I so prefer this backup channel. Lets us really get to know a frag. I get the lists but the extra is appreciated.
This reminds me of a smoother Eros Flame. I honestly dig it. When I didn't think I would.

its very nice. love the spicy element to it
I see there's a new ADG parfum
Picked up a bottle a few weeks ago and love it
This stuff is freaking awesome!
Some Absinthe can be red, particularly Czech style. All still smells and tastes like anise/licorice.
Nah, based off what you just said, I'll pass..

What does a modern smell like? Does it just mean that it smells different than the old classic? I don't quite get what modern should smell like.
I tested this one out today.. I think it's solid but I like the original Polo Red EDT more..
Found this in the 2 piece at Ross for 50 bucks and returned it the same day it’s not that great smelling compared to the previous polo red

Polo red must have tobacco in it? Eau de parfum
@@quentinwestbrook4 no tobacco in Polo Red EDP.
they should re-release Polo Explorer
PLEASE
So is Polo going to release Polo Deep Red next year?
They're working on Polo Blue Elixir ... So they'll probably do Polo Red Elixir too. 🤷🏻♂️
i hate it when i smell a frag and i like it so i come on youtube to see what others think jt to find theres like 5 different versions lol i have the edp sample and it smells fire but i wasnt sure of the longevity etc
There are no cranberries in the notes of any of the polo red line😂😂😂
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
Do you have a video on right/wrong ways of application?
dont spray it into your bumole
Interesting, but not enough for me to want a bottle. Mostly sticking to blue and club. 🤔
It's kind of funny when I think about it I have about 262 fragrances and I have no Polo fragrances in my collection lol 🤣😁

You can buy creed refills on discounters. The biggest aventus one was well over $1000 haha

Eros flame is eternal
@@premium7182 I also added a 6.7 OZ 200 ML of the original Eros in the Eau de Parfum as well and love them both
As a woman I don't like Polo forba Man, except for the Blue and the Black one maybe? It's like okay only..🤔
Ok so I use Beverly Hills polo Blaze how different is it, I haven’t smelt this one yet
You’re probably getting a suede vibe because of the orris.
IMO Nothing in that line can hold a candle to red extreme
FACTS
I concur!
we just need a Polo Red EDT that stays longer. The same smell. Still waiting.
edp?
Scuse me, i have the polo club blaze... is red same this...but this is the new club blaze? this parfum are the same?
Need 2 bring back the Extreme 😢
This is one of my favorite parfum scent wise but the longevity and projection really disappointed me
Ralph Lauren Polo Red Parfum or Hugo Intense by Hugo Boss?? which is the best from these 2???
I'd love to hear peoples feedback
What's the point with refill bottle??? Where to refill?... i just don't get it... just buy new one
It’s cheaper
It's more "eco friendly" 😂
Is it worth getting if I already have extreme and intense
Yes, because it's different; but just as good. 👍
So I have worn red polo black logo for years I go to buy a new bottle and it’s silver label now can someone explain this to me my current bottle that just went out was solid red bottle with black logo non transparent glass.
Maybe it's a call back to Davidoff Hot Water
Personally think this one is not as good smelling as the previous one
I got lucky with this fragrance. Picked up a 200ml from Marshall’s for 60$

Are you “sharing” sprays instead of “wasting” them because someone whined about it?
😢😢😢😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉❤😎😎👌🫶✅💯
HORSE POWER!!!
Very good cologne.. every time I wear it get laid😂.. good review
Waiting for the Polo Green PARFUM
🤘
You seem like a cool guy. Do you really listen to the smooth jazz garbage in your intro?
You seem like a guy whos taste in music goes as far as Sublime and that's it
Yet you are going to ramble on for over 10 minutes about nothing instead of just spitting in out in less than a minute.
First
Nobody cares.
11 min. word soup.
I'm confused. He gave us 11 minutes of description. Concise and clear. Perhaps the problem is on the receiving end?
Jeremy would have given a similarly ‘concise’ review in under 7 minutes. Including his signature spin move.
second
Nobody cares.
its pretty bad to be honest
I get tobacco note on the polo red eua de parfum
All polo colognes last like 10 minutes. Horrible in longevity
Not this one ,I think he’s not picking because I’ve got it and it’s pretty strong
decant
Ehh idk polo cologne intense lasts all day for me love that stuff.
