I started wearing this amazing scent in college in the early 80’s. It was my only fragrance for 30 years. I have gone through so many bottles, I have lost count. The Warner bottles were the best fragrance ever made. Every time I purchased a bottle, I would be gifted Polo bags and other gifts (after shave balm, deodorant etc). I still have several of those bags in the classic green canvas to this day. I used the canvas briefcase for my first job out of college in 1984. The satchel bag I have still has the paper surrounding the shoulder strap tucked under the flap, and it looks brand new. I never used it. The scent has definitely changed over the years, and I am fortunate to still have a Cosmair 4oz spray and 8oz splash that I will never use up, because I have so many other fragrances in my collection now. However, when I want to go back in time to the greatest green, leathery, mossy performance beast of my young adulthood, I reach for this classic. I haven’t tried the most recent formulation. I hope, for the sake of this legend, that it is better than what has been offered for the previous few years.
Wow thank you for sharing! That’s awesome
That you have the vintage in good condition, the new formulation is great from what I have experienced
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey I’ll have to get the latest and try it out. Thank you for all of your reviews !!
I’m 38. Yesterday I was in a store and tried this BAM! Took me back to my childhood instantly. It reminds me of a strong masculine role model the kind of man you want to grow up to be. Classy, handsome, well to do and popular with the females.
It’s one of the best scents for sure, certainly the best from Ralph Lauren in my opinion. Thank you for watching and commenting sir!
instablaster...
That would be me. I’m the ladies MAN
I haven't worn this since the late 70's. A classic that evokes to me both the country club and the disco. Your review was so compelling that I just ordered a bottle of the vintage 1978 aftershave and a new bottle of the current production. Bravo on a great review. So nice to have met you today on Dan's show and to find that you have such a wonderful channel. Bravo.
Hey thanks so much for watching ! It was very nice to meet you as well. An excellent site to get great vintage especially polo for men is leparfumier out of Canada. I bought a vintage edt from them and it’s in pristine condition. I love this scent it’s hands down the best from the house
since you order both.. what''s ur thoughts about the 2?
This was a staple of mine in the 80’s with Aramis Drakkar Lauder for Men. I have gone on a fragrance journey in past 1 1/2 years fell in love with a couple Blues but feel like I’ve come full circle as I am buying Kouros Aramis Drakkar (Lauder is pricey) I will now have to revisit this one , been a long time . Thanks Kellen !
Polo "Green" has been my signature scent since the 1980s and I still love it. Of course, I have used other fragrances over the years just to mix in a little variety, especially during the heat of summer. I have heard some younger fellas (I'm 53) call it an "old man" scent, but I have never heard a female of any age say that. I still get compliments when I wear it and even after all these years I still love it, so I cannot imagine retiring my Polo before that changes. I agree with your summary and since I never rate anything a perfect score I suppose I agree with your ratings as well.
One of the most epic old school classics of all time. So many awesome memories come flooding in every time I smell it. Need to resupply. 👍🏻
It really is one of the greats! I love the stuff, definitely re-up on a new bottle
Excellent review, as always. Yes, this is indeed a true classic. If Ralph Lauren is ultimately trying to phase this out, that would be a tragedy. Even younger frag heads need to experience wearing this gem.
It’s back on the website now but in the 8oz bottle only but the other sizes are still available on discount sites and all the big department stores. I love the scent it’s the best from Ralph Lauren. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Really looking forward to wearing this in the holiday season with that awesome green piney smell. At least end 2020 on a positive note!
It’s a perfect holiday party scent, I plan to continue to wear it as well throughout the rest of the cool weather season
Great review. This is probably one of my favorite classics. This one has a big nostalgic pull for me.
It’s one of the greats for sure, when I first tried it I knew I loved the scent
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey I remember smelling it at department stores with my grandmother as a kid and have always been drawn to it
Great review 👍.Very unique scent. It seems to me that this perfume will last forever. Still manages to excite me when I smell it.
It really is one of those classic scents that will always be in my rotation. The scent is very pleasing
I love this stuff and I hope they produce it forever 🥰👍
They better it’s what put them on the map fragrance wise! It’s among the best ever. Thank you for watching and commenting!
My favorite cologne of all time. I've worn it the most for sure. Still wear it a lot today. Still get compliments. But I think the Cosmair edition blows the doors off the reformation. Last way longer and smells much richer and deeper. It's worth finding
Another matching top. My type of collector lol. I haven't any Ralph Lauren. But this will be the first. I always check out the OGs first. I think I can try this at the department store in my country. Cool review bro. 10/10
Absolutely try this fragrance it’s so good, nothing else from the house comes close to this ! Thank you for watching and commenting as always dude !
This is another one of them must haves I really enjoy their polo blue too
Polo blue ???!’ Lol jk. The original will always be the best from the line
My advice for people interested in this fragrance is to not judge it by how it smells on paper or in the air. In my opinion, it smells really harsh on paper and in the air, but it really smooths out on the skin and it is a nice spicy green scent.
My one and ònly fragrance ! ❤😊
Love the colour of the box.
back in the day, I wore this fragrance so much that there was a time I got tired of it, now I just own a 50ml spray bottle (just half of the bottle left), and I've been keeping this fragrance for the last 4 years, I wear it from time to time, but not as often as I did it in the past, I think still I am a bit off but I really like this fragrance although it has changed from those days (1978) that was the first time when I bought my Polo.
i've few signature fragrances since ages... 1-polo green since 90's 2-JPG ultra male since 96. Fahrenheit since 95 from my collection these three are my 365days life time favorite
I have an 80z bottle of the polo classic coming..paid i think $98 dollars..i bought polo classic cause it takes me back to when i was a child..my fathers signiture scent was polo classic. And i absolutly loved it then..timeless scent i think..i havnt really smelled this since i was a child..i am 43 now.now that im much older than when i was smelling this everyday i think i might appreciate it allot more then i did in my younger years..i will give an update once i receive the bottle and wear it a few times..i dont think my mind will change all that much..like i said before this is a timeless scent from what i can remember of it
A great classic scent especially for the holidays
It’s like the perfect holiday family party fragrance lol
I find Polo Green a bit too musky and "dark green," but I appreciate the complexity and quality of the fragrance. I would love to see this channel review Stetson Sierra. Made in 1993 (and possibly now discontinued), it is like a brighter, toned-down Polo Green that I really enjoyed.
Thank you sir for your review. This product is still on their website , I checked it yesterday. I own the same small sprayer bottle from July 2019(previous one had longer sprayers I believe). I am from India and average temperature here in day time is 25-30 degree centigrade. This perform ok for initial 2 hours than it become skin scent. I even got my bottle replaced in hope of getting better performance. Though everybody is praising its performance, I only get average performance. Anyway, Its smell is so nice that it is extremely worthy to buy. It is unique , green , and will let you stand apart from crowd. About sourness, I get it in this version also. It seems that the sourness is present in few other green fragrances as well like BOGART SIGNATURE. If you get opportunity , try Bogart signature as well.
Another thing, your reviews are unbiased and very genuine, I believe. Thank you sir. Keep it up.
I love bogart signature it’s very good ! I did a review on it a while ago, thank you for the kind words I’m glad you enjoy the reviews!
Hey big K hope all is well with u. I’ve been wearing this A LOT lately. I made a 5ml decants from my old Cosmair bottle. Lovely stuff can’t get enough
Ahh I wish I could try a vintage in good condition aside from the aftershave, mine is no good for the most part aside from the base lol this scent is just so classic I love it,
I had to re-review it.
Hope all is well with you man !
Great job once again !! ..on your vintage bottle is it an EDT or is it Polo Cologne? I have the Cologne version .. same exact bottle but fragrance is very tobacco heavy and a bit sweeter. Truly great . It’s Cosmair as well but I believe a bit older.
Hey Richie, the vintage is a Cosmair edt but the top notes are definitely sour it’s difficult to use the scent since it’s so foul initially, I got it in a bid bundle for the aftershave and aftershave balm, I even asked to make sure and the seller said it was good. Oh well all the other products were fine. I love this scent thought it’s one of the greats ! If you have vintage in good condition let me know lol
I’m 50 years old and never had a bottle of Polo Green. I did use Aspen and Cool Water. I don’t know if they are similar.
Flashbacks of Z Cavaricci jeans with the back brace, Bugle Boy, BUM Equipment and Reebok Classic high tops when I smell this! Lol, it’s high school 1989 again!
It’s one of the all time greats! Thank you for watching and commenting dude
My signature scent is Polo Modern Reserve. Everywhere I go people just love it. Get compliments all the time! It's a beast!
Never tried the modern reserve
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey gotta try it!
I have a bottle. I got it when I was 16, wasn't a fan on how piney it was. Maybe I should try it now 13 years later. I have a cologne that I hate when I spray it on but once it dries amazing! Hopefully this is the same case!
Awesome stuff mate. I only have the classic match copy, pretty good actually. Would be great to get your take on it. PG was my brother signature scent , love it. I find the current formulation a little rougher and more of a cigarette thing going on.
I have the classic match version actually, it’s okay but the real thing I prefer its much smoother. For 10$ though you can’t complain about the classic match version. Definitely get your hands on a bottle of polo. Thank you for watching and commenting sir!
Mate your thumbnails are amazing. That Yatagan one really cracked me up.
Fantastic review, I've really fallen for Polo this year - I've owned it for 2.5 years but it's taken me a while to wear it a lot & appreciate it.
Shame that your vintage has spoiled; I have several older ones which have stood up. My first bottle of it is actually "gone" a little so I was surprised at how fresh another older bottle was, which made me realise that my first bottle had faded somewhat - it goes straight into the rugged dry down
p.s. Modern Reserve ain't that good. I owned it but sold it. It's too modern in feel - that suede note is no match for the leather in the original
Haha tried to make the yatagan one funny lol polo is so good I love the scent, my vintage has spoiled top notes but once it sets down it smells so good, the current formulation though is great in my opinion as well I love it. Interesting to hear modern reserve was just so so, makes sense lol. Thank you for watching and stopping by dude ! Just subbed to your channel
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey Thanks dude, I think our fragrance tastes are very much aligned! I too own most of the Kouros flankers; fraicheur, eau de sport, sport cologne, tattoo and 2 of the "ete summer" ones :)
Perhaps give Modern Reserve a try but I have a feeling you'd be indifferent towards it
@@sproaty yes it does seem like we enjoy the same style of fragrances for sure ! I love all those kouros flankers, the original is the best though. I only see modern reserve on eBay for insane cost so I probably won’t seek that one out lol
This is my fav fragrance brings back so many memories all the older men in my family had this colonge I own many fragrances but if I can only have 1 it would be this it's a powerhouse last hours this is like a mobb colonge lol lol true manly scent women love it and you dont need to many sprays
It’s absolutely one of the all time greats one of the best green masculine scents, smells
Like success
I bought this recently as i wanted something masculine and different to all the modern sweet, sickly candle type fragrances. It was a blind buy, and i have to say, it's powerful stuff! I do like it, but i hate pachouli, and to my nose, the pachouli is strong with this. Perhaps i'm just sensitive to it.
My mom’s uncle left this perfume at our home when he came from US and I’m 28. Amazing scent , just love it !
Oh nice ! So now you have a bottle lol it’s great stuff one of the all time best. Thank you for watching and commenting dude
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey and old combination
I am also looking for alternatives to this. If they ever discontinue this, I think Azzaro pour homme smells similar and i'll buy that
Ahh it’s hard to find alternatives to polo I think, Esencia by Loewe is pretty close, a bit less heavy. I reviewed it’s so you can check out the video
Well done pal! Wearing green dress while presenting 🍁thanks ! It's a long awaited review. I would request you to give your opinion about Prada luna rosa sport🍂🍂🍂
Thank you sir! Glad you enjoyed the review, I do not own that Prada scent but I will keep an eye out for it
Vintage..,it was the only fragrance I can say I actually loved wearing and NEVER got bored with it. I wore it all through the eighties. I have yet to find a frag I can say I love, 200 later. 😥
Ha wow that’s saying a lot ! The scent definitely is one of the greats for sure, up there with kouros and paco Rabanne Pour homme. One of the best green scents ever !
Great Review - however can you do a separate review of great polo green clones ? I know you did some great reviews of clones for Kouros and others - please do a similar one for Polo Green
At the end of this video I asked what are some good alternatives to polo, I’ve only seen some really cheap imitations that I wouldn’t trust. Scents like Tsar and Krizia Uomo are good alternatives !
I find it so hard to even imagine a world where the original Polo isn't being sold anymore. I have to wonder sometimes how many frags I love will be gone in 10-20 years... If everyone is so stuck on trends and chasing their fruity body wash frags, where does this one stand? Does it die? Hard to imagine. It's my favorite all time. Hands down. First frag I ever wanted to own. The bottle inspired me as a kid to chase a better life. Still does. Also, it is currently on the RL website.
Nice review
Love it love it love it! I did end up getting the new formulation and must say that to me, it's missing quite a bit in the top and mid compared to the original, although the base is still very close. There's just this sourness that I don't remember being in the Cosmair version and the overall blend is kinda thinned out (especially the leather). Don't care though because I still love how it wears and the longevity remains very good. A few of the notes are similar to Vintage from Varvatos but part of it is closer to Quorum imo. Neither are good alternatives, so we'll have to keep an eye out.
It’s one of the best scents I’ve ever especially green scents, it’s up there with kouros
, Caesars and Drakkar for me. I love the opening of the formulation I have I wish My vintage wasn’t sour on top but what can I do lol
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey You know I forgot to mention, I have an old bottle of Drakkar and recently, days after I sprayed my shirt, I was like, "WTF is that awesome smell?" Totally forgot it was Drakkar Noir. Whatever they use in that base kicks some serious ass.
Ahhhhh, to me it's a definite top 10, and maybe even top 5 favorite fragrance. Shoot, maybe even top 3. Love this one.
Alternatives....I have an Alexandria Fragrances version of Tom Ford Italian Cypress, that gave me similarities.
Also some have said that Rogue's Mousse Illuminae smells like the original Polo. To me it smells very good, very green (Rogue), but I prefer Polo. (i've only sampled the roll on sample of Mousse Illuminae, a full on bottle spray may prove a better comparison.)
Polo and Safari are my top 2 Ralph Lauren's ....by FAR!
Rogue’s fragrances are very nice I have a chypre siam sample, I love polo thought it’s so good, a classic ! Safari is awesome as well both polo and safari are My favorites from RL as well
Thought I would share this with you: After hearing so much the vintage Polo and how it was so much better than the reformulated version, I decided to order a vial of the vintage. i received it yesterday. I sprayed it on my skin and it brought back memories of my college days back in the late 1980's. I had forgotten, but now realize what that ubiquitous scent was back then. To be honest, I never liked the scent. To me it always smelled like a really fancy cologne that would go bad on everybody's skin. It definitely never inspired me to go out and buy a bottle. The reformulated does smell much different, and I think it smells better than the original, especially when applied on skin and allowed to develop. It is more mellow, and albeit "old mannish" , but does not have the brash harshness of the original. Also, the original just reminds me of all the douchey guys that wore it in college lol.
I’ve been enjoying the vintage a lot but once it dries down, I think the vintage I have is slightly spoiled notes on top but after a few minutes it really smells nice, as far as the current formula it think it’s solid all the way through I really enjoy it. Thank you for watching and commenting Tim!
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey hey wait I have a question for you. in your opinion, which version gets more compliments? The new version or your soured vintage version?
@@JesusChrist5000 the new version, the vintage I just layer with from time to time
Man that was my signature scent before I was a fraghead I would wear that shit in the summer lol. Haven't had it in years but I loved it and got compliments
It’s so good, I’m sure the people who wore this when it came out wore it all year long didn’t matter! The scent is so good !
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey I have loved cologne since I was in middle school. Back then I didn't know about what season to wear certain fragrances. I grew up in the 80s and 90s and used the power houses year round lol
@@brysctt72 same with me I never cared or knew scent were better for particular seasons, I wore what I had all year, simpler times lol
Think I'll preview this to
My favorite fragrance ! ❤
Just had this for my birthday took me right back to the 90s to when I first bought it
I’m sure it was very potent back then, but I think the current formula Is great too. Thank you for watching and commenting dude!
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey just put some on to go out in today visited Mother & her first comment was that's a bit to much aftershave you have on
@@tonyoreilly6718 🤣🤣🤷🏻♂️ that’s funny
I get a big hit of pine and burnt cigar on top. Or some kind of actual ash. But mostly it makes me think of a green velvet suit jacket.
Hey there! In the opening of Polo i get a pretty harsh (but nice) juniper berry note, in the heart i note the pine and some rose, when it starts to dry down the leather is very noticeable, and in the drydown i get the tobacco, moss, musk and amber, plus an amazing earthy tone from patchouli i guess.
That’s awesome that you can pick up on so many individual notes. I love polo it’s so good !
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey Hey! I wanted to tell you, i just started an artisan perfumery (Not to say "niche", the ingredients i get are not that amazingly expensive as actual niche ones, but it is quite a niche house) maison, and i just replicated Polo, with notes of lavender, pine, musk, amber, patchouli and cedar, i will be adding some heavy amounts of birch tar to it whenever it arrives here, i ordered some from India... Greetings take care
This is the only fragrance I actually truly like. Still looking for similar scents, maybe less green smelling and more tobacco and musk
I can’t find anything that’s close enough to it to be considered a clone
This cologne is timeless
I found a half full tester bottle from the time when warner was the distributer before cosmair bought the polo contract from warner and the notes all seem in tact. It is absolutely amazing with the oakmoss and leather. I literally melted the first time i sprayed this bottle today. Btw the intro to le perfumier was awesome. I have literally placed 4 different orders in like 3 days lol :) :)
-Ramsey
That’s awesome they are a great company to work with ! I’m sure vintage polo in perfect condition is awesome!
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey its glorious. Almost brought a tear to my eye. I have vintage tsar coming from le perfumier... cant wait to get my nose on that i have never smelled it before
@@RamseytheRam I hoard bottles of tsar lol it’s one of my all time favorites as I’m sure you’re aware of haha
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey i watched your van cleef and arpels pour homme video where you said you prefer tsar but i didnt know it was one of your absolute favorites. Now im double excited. Between that and rockford and business man and duke and kipling & versace man i am going to have quite the next month sniffing lol
Can you mention which is the manufacturing year? Sometime in 2020?
I own the fragrance. I love the fragrance. I’ve been told my father also wore it. My complaint is it doesn’t project or last as long as I feel it should. I’ve been having this issue with the 89’ version of eternity and my signature 94’ dolce & Gabbana. Is it something I am doing? I apply post shower on chest and torso, neck and wrists. Are formulations weak these days or is it me?
You may be going nose blind to them since you wear them often? Other can smell it but you won’t notice it, all of those are strong scents especially if you have the vintage forms like you mentioned
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey Possibly. I wore an 09’ batch of Dreamer tonight and didn’t have the problem. I sincerely think new formulations are extremely diluted. I’m sticking to EDP’s from now on if the designer makes it
Hey there brother, greetings from Mexico. Since this is so versatile (Elegant, day / night, dates, office / university, et cetera) do you recommend getting only this (A clone, there is an excellent clone brand here in Mexico that makes this Polo and also makes the next fragances i mention) instead of specific fragances for certain situations? (Such as Chanel Antaeus for elegant night dinner and stuff & Egoiste Platinum, CK One Shock as a warm date frag, etc) I am also really using Paco Rabanne Pour Homme (again a clone from them, copied exactly) a lot... Do you also think PR PH and this Polo Green are similar? I assume the Polo is heavier with the tobacco and stuff and the Paco Rabanne is more refined, less raw... Thank you, and thanks for this review, i am really liking your channel. They say this is an old school animalic tobacco cologne...
If the clones are great then definitely use them, with certain classics though I prefer the real thing. Polo is definitely heavier and more musky that Paco Rabanne, paco is sharp fresh and soapy. Thank you for watching and commenting Javier!
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey Yeah, i smelled it and really liked it, bought it today and i am just testing it on my skin... Smells slightly smoky, very woody... Way deeper and darker than PR Pour Homme... I love both still
Hey bro check out Afnan His Highness Green. It’s supposed to be a beast mode clone of this. I don’t have it as I was never a huge fan of Polo Green, but Best Brand Perfumes sells a 2 pk for only $100. The packaging looks pretty awesome too 👍🏼
Wow that’s great to hear I have never knew about that before I will definitely check it out. Thank you for watching and commenting dude!
quorum antonio puig is similar to polo green. its known as the "spanish polo green". if you had to choose between drakkar noir or polo green?
I recently scored a full bottle of the Cosmair formulation on ebay. It's awesome. With that being said the current formulation (2020 batch) is still pretty damn good just not as potent probably due to the lack of oakmoss.
I heard from another video on this cologne that the Cosmire versions topped in 99. So the new version has been made since 99?
That dry down
❤
Though I have the LCC made Polo Green, the batch code says it was made in 2015. I absolutely love the scent, the very green opening, strong almost nose blinding, then dries down to that rough leather tobacco. Although the performance of this is not that great, maybe 4 hrs on my skin, I'm not sure.
I'm 24 and I don't think this smells like an old man, for me it smells class. It's an art in a bottle.
I can’t believe you only get a few hours out of it, it’s crazy how different people get different result with performance. At least polo smells amazing
Do a review on Clive christen the masculine green bottle
Unrelated to Polo, but I’ve got a question/request. I’ve recently happened upon Penhaligons and they have an EDT called Sartorial. I’ve seen a few reviews and then picked it up. First thing I get, was a higher quality version of…Pinaud Clubman. All the reviews talk about how unique the scent is. No one has made this connection in any review I’ve seen, probably because Clubman isn’t fancy enough for them to try! If you get a chance, I’d love to see a review of Sartorial and see if you agree.
I had that scent, I didn’t love it and sold it off, it reminded me of brut actually like a high end brut. If you dig deep way back in my early first videos I did a barbershop scent list and spoke about sartorial and club man it was a video from 2019
Thank you for your response! I probably saw it then, but at that time both Penhaligons and Sartorial were so far off my radar I didn’t even remember!
Another one i need. This was on sale in Boots (uk) for £42 plus 10% discount for NHS workers. I told them i would pop back after lunch and totally forgot. Went back a day later and the sale ended so it went back up to £60. I was devastated
Ahh that’s too bad, I’d still buy it, look for it in a gift set that’s always the way to go! Thank you for watching and commenting dude
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey funnily enough about 10 minutes after i posted this i seen it on special for £42 in the Perfume Shop so ordered it 🙂. You’re very welcome.
Is there other brands that similar to this Polo Green?
Have you had the chance to smell Polo Crest? My father gave me his old bottle, its an awesome one but its got alot of nostalgia for me so that could be why. Super piney fresh with a masculine base like slightly leathery👌
Absolutely love crest, I featured it in one of my “forgotten fragrance” list videos, I really enjoy it
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey oh hell yeah 👌 I really enjoy it as well
Does it smell like Loewe Essencia?
Yep i bought plenty of the vintage polo green still like it but yes it went a bit sour...the new smells like the old....
That’s unfortunate when that happens, the vintage splash on I have at first smells awful since it is slightly sour then once it drys down the magic starts, but I agree the current formulation is awesome for anyone on the fence I would just go with the current and enjoy it. Thank you for watching and commenting dude!
Great. What to buy after that perfume? Polo green is the last station.
Polo green is among one of the all time greats ! Best from the house for sure. Thank you for watching and commenting Zoran !
Love polo!
It’s one of the greatest
my father rocked this in the early 90s, now i wear it from time to time. manly as f#$%^. Esencia Pour Homme by Loewe is very similar, a very green and herbaceous scent.
I will look into that one I have been wanting to find a good alternative in case I no longer have polo. Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey I've heard that Bottega Veneta pour homme extreme is a good alternative to polo green
Christmas in a bottle. 🎄
It really is perfect for a Christmas party scent lol !
What can I expect from the current version of this fragrance my friend?
Is it worst that the Older version??
I had it obtained the current version first and I think it’s awesome. I did a comparison in this video of the vintage and the current version. current is just fine I think
I know you enjoy your classic masculine scents, but I was wondering if you’ve tried John Varvatos Dark Rebel. It’s my new favorite fragrance. Average performer despite the what people say. Check it out if you haven’t already. I think you’ll enjoy it.
I have heard a lot about it but I have never tied it any Jv scent for that matter lol. Thank you for watching and commenting bro!
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey yeah JV has some good scents. They definitely has a classic feel to them. Even their Artisan Aqua has a Drakkar Noir feel to it. Not sure why they named it Aqua. Lol.
Hello! How does Polo compare to Caron Yatagan?
Yatagan is very dark, smells good, in the end I sold it off due to just never wearing it, polo especially vintage is the better choice by a long shot
How does Polo green spoil? There's no citrus notes lol. I have 5 bottles from 79-89. Polo doesn't spoil unless it sat in the FL sun for 20 years or something.
It can spoil, the scent is not the same it’s top notes are just off, smells sort of burnt , the dry down is still good though but it can happen unfortunately lol
Bro I just wore this stuff it's still great juice still last long yes
It’s the best from Ralph Lauren I love the stuff
Nice review. I use the similar Aspen cologne. Polo is prob better.
Those two, at least to me smell nothing alike, Aspen is like a cool water polo is a whole other if you haven’t tried it definitely get your hands on it it’s amazing
I bought the Classic Match version of Polo at Walmart because I had read so many great reviews of CM's Polo. But sadly, compared to the real Polo, CM smells like pencil shavings and oregano. It is like CM left out about 10 ingredients. Which is disappointing because i had been hoping for a ultra cheap alternative to Polo. Anyway, this is a great winter time scent but not good for Summer IMO
Hahaha I actually have the classic match version and I have never heard of a more accurate description of how it smells ! Loll I saw your comment on my original review and I don’t get the rubber scent at all ? But this is perfect for fall and winter like you said
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey interestingly enough, i dont smell the burnt rubber today. I am not sure but I think what one eats or what fragrance one is currently wearing can bias the olfactory sense for any particular day.
I want to try Bvlgari Black to smell the rubber note but they sent me the wrong sample , Bvlgari Man In Black. argh.
Do you think he is suitable for a 32 year old guy?
Or is it too old for my age(32) ?
Thanks
Easily wearable for a 32 year old, I love it and I’m not much older at all
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey thank you very much for the help.
Do you think Chanel Egoiste\ Egoiste platinum reminds DRKKER NOIR?
I really like the smell of shaving gel / men Shower Gel
I currently own drakkar noir and was thinking of buying channel Egoiste
many thanks have a great day :)
On my Polo green 240 ml bottle there is no Ralph Lauren on the box. Only Polo.Is it fake? Thanks
Depends, where did you buy it ? If online what site ? Could just be an older presentation
Ebay. 2018 batch code. I checked on check fresh. It's okay. But the box.
Polo. Nothing else. No Ralph Lauren.
What can I do my friend? I am confused
@@Polo-mt9rb is it a tester box ?
No. How can I send you my photos?
@@Polo-mt9rb the Instagram page
This is not discontinued , this is will always be in departments stores!!!!!
That’s correct, at the time of the video they only offered one large size on the site but It’s still being made thankfully
My dude you got a jawline that could cut diamond, why you gotta be so dang good looking? Making me question my heterosexuality.
Fantastic review by the way!
I laugh so hard when mainstream scents like Spicebomb or The One EDP have listed “tobacco” as a note , they’re not bad I do like them, but you can’t compare the sharp (almost Cuban-esque) tobacco accord from Polo Green. One of my scents for life.
Funny thing is that I don’t smoke lol but tobacco in perfumery is my favorite note along with the leather.
I'm 32 and it's too mature for me. I'm wearing Lapidus Pour Homme as I type this (came out in 87) and I think that is less "dated" than this but if you enjoy it by all means rock it.....
If Kouros is king then it's Polo Green is calling the shots, with Lapidus P.H. as the muscle.
Hahah sounds like the classic men’s fragrance mafia? 😂 lol
Similars
Paco Rabanne Pour Homme - similar not same
Tom Ford Beau de Jour
most would disagree but the dry down is similar
Christian Dior Eau Sauvage
not same to Polo Green but similar to Beau De Jour
That's weird I ordered a bottle a week ago should be here tomorrow 👍❗👌 not a vintage bottle a new bottle
The new formulation is awesome I’m done trying to track down a vintage for this scent
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey that's good 👍 sotd Gucci guilty absolute
Majestic smell.
One of the best !
I love this one and have it along with Black, Blue, and Supreme Oud. I just think Polo fragrances are overpriced.
First
I appreciate it and own it now. It was so prevalent in the mid 80s, I wouldn’t touch it to be different and used Drakkar Noir, Azarro pour homme, and paco rabanne pour homme.
@@michaelcrespo2928 it is in a class of its own I believe! Thank you for watching and commenting Michael!
Honestly most people who like this scent talk about how it makes them nostalgic; either their dad or grandfather wore it or they used to wear it back in high school etc. The sense of smell brings up the most vivid memories so it makes sense that people attach positive emotions to this scent, especially if they are based on emotions and experiences from a long time ago during a period they look back upon fondly. That being said, I really don't like the scent and feel it is extremely outdated. Both Polo Green and Polo Blue just smell like... department store fragrances. Blue smells nice and fresh on the opening but as soon as it dries it literally just smells like scented hair gel. Green also smells better in the opening but when it settles in it's like... one of those musky sprays they sell at the convenience store; the ones that come in the same cans as axe body spray but are somewhat no name and likely to be picked up by older guys or mothers for their teenage sons. A lot of people say these are 'old man' scents and I agree to an extent, but to me they are moreso scents people who don't know much about fragrances would buy. Polo green, imo, is equally at home with the out of touch 50 or 60 year old as well as the 12 or 13 year old who is trying to impress girls for the first time and puts on way too much hair gel, a shitty fake gold necklace and a tacky 'fancy' shirt. Yeah... I wouldn't be caught dead smelling like this. It makes me think of Phil Leotardo from The Sopranos showing up for Christmas in a green sweater.
I mean that’s just absolute blasphemy and you’re wrong but you knew that before making this comment lol 😂 I did laugh though so thank you for watching and commenting
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey I'm 40 and never wore cologne and never knew anyone that did. I recently accidentally spilled way to much of this on me, and after trying to wash it off, wich doesn't work, i came to really love the smell. I didn't know it's history or that is was "olds or "manly", I know nothing about cologne, but this smell really grew on me, it smells great...after that first blast calms down. But after that I have never smelled anything quite like this. It's really nice and it's nice how it stands out in a sea of indecisiveness.
Modern scents are lipsticky, polo green used to be better than current iteration or formulation.
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡NICE TRY!!!! THE POLO GREEN 1978 NEVER CAME OUT WITH A SHORT SPRAY HEAD LIKE THAT!!!!!!!! ALSO IT 100% WOULD HAVE WARNER STICKER ON THE BOTTOM!!! THERE WAS NEVER BIG WHITE NUMBERS ON THE 1978 BOTTLE ON THE BOTTOM!!!! 🍔🍟
You clearly didn’t listen to anything I said. The review is of the current form of polo, the vintage in this video is a splash bottle
Box of rocks
This dude colored in his eyebrows
No dude I just have dark colored eye brows…who tf colored their eye brows
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey he’s just jealous of those badass bushy Italian masculine eyebrows
This fragrance reacts to my skin very well. It turns into a sweet musky and the pine dwindles down and is almost mute.
