Ralph Lauren Polo Blue for Men Eau de Toilette 40 ml

Product Information

Wearing it more often, I’ve been getting in the 5-7 hour range, pretty consistently. Definitely towards the higher end of that range, but sometimes, it doesn’t hold up as well. When searching for a signature scent, you’d better start with the best polo colognes. As a woman, the most attractive men in my life have worn some version of Polo. But don’t think you have to be Idris Elba-level hot to wear them (trust me). In general, all of Ralph Lauren’s Polo fragrances are intoxicating, working the line between masculine, fresh, and sweet. They simply tend to draw people in without being too overpowering. This aftershave opens with sparkling Bergamot. A crisp, citrus note which enhances the elegance and modern freshness of the top notes. Both aquatic, spicy, with smooth notes (actual leather in the Fendi fragrance). Not the same smell, but that cologne also reminds me of this one with how it comes across.

Overall, is Polo Blue Eau de Parfum a buy? It is better than the original, in my opinion. So, if you liked that, then think of this as an upgrade. It does everything well and as a casual scent, I don’t think you could go wrong owning this one. Actually, the opening really reminds me of Acqua Di Gio Profumo, because of the citrus aroma provided by the bergamot. I still have a sample of that Armani scent and it does share the bergamot, aquatic notes, sage, and patchouli with Polo Blue EDP. When it comes to the best polo colognes, Polo Earth is one of a kind. From a recycled glass bottle and sustainably sourced ingredients, it’s clear that Polo is trying something different, excited to evolve. While I love this direction for the brand, the fragrance profile is most important. And just in case you were wondering, it’s every bit as delicious as the first Polo cologne. Polo Blue EDP honestly grew on me, the more that I wore it. It’s still not an absolute love or must buy, but it has such an appeal on certain days, that I want to spray it on.

It’s also the first unisex cologne by Polo, thanks to a beautiful neroli scent. This gives it a bright and citrusy vibe that smells strong at first spritz but has some serious staying power. Like only the best polo colognes, the orange citrus scent is well balanced with floral and herbal scents. The best Polo colognes have mass appeal because they are well-balanced, but scents do vary. You can count on none of them being overly sweet or musky. If anything, Polo colognes lean towards masculine, woodsy, and herbaceous. Some scents are clean and fresh thanks to citrus and aquatic notes. Is It Long-Lasting?

Polo Blue EDP once it settles down, loses a bit of the similarity it shares with ADG Profumo, and begins to emerge more as the original Blue but with more defined notes. The vibrant woody notes of Vetiver Haiti and intense Patchouli oil bring to this fragrance an elegant depth, a modern and masculine texture. Honestly, I like it. It’s not super exciting but I do think that it is better than the original, which I thought smelled nice but was just bland as hell. Though, it has a lot of similarities to how this smells during that dry down. Still, this is better.It’s pleasant and should garner complements, which is essentially everything most guys want from a fragrance. If you don’t like aquatics or citrus based scents, you should probably look elsewhere. At its heart, Deep Blue is a casual scent with a juicy, herbaceous appeal. Once the luscious mango and grapefruit notes settle, the dry down is woody and herbaceous territory thanks to cypress and sage. All of this, combined with the final blast of sea notes, gives it the yumminess everyone loves. Finally the warm and enveloping base notes of Suede, Patchouli and Sheer Musk ensure to this aftershave a long lasting and unique trail. Developed by Carlos Benaim, the greatest living perfumer, 42 years after he created the original Polo scent, it’s clear that Ralph Lauren Deep Blue has what it takes to be one of the best polo colognes. Fresh and invigorating, it’s an aromatic aquatic scent that’s known for eliciting compliments. All it takes is a couple of spritzes to become a crowd-pleaser.

I would say that this is a good casual wear for warmer weather and not much of a club or date night scent. Although, I think it’d be okay for the latter. It’s attractive enough, but not necessarily something that will really draw someone in.Update: Having had a full bottle of Profumo and trying EDP multiple times since this review, the sage is much heavier in Profumo. But, this is still like a mix of Polo Blue and AdG Profumo, in the early stages, especially.
