Our take
What does Polo Blue smell like?
Polo Blue, released in 2003, took Ralph Lauren’s Polo line toward airier territory than the famous green Polo. The opening plays a watery, fruity freshness: juicy melon, crisp cucumber and mandarin give an instant cool-down. The heart is aromatic, with green basil, dry sage and a slightly rosy geranium that recall a reworked fougère. In the base, suede brings a soft, textured, almost leathery touch while musk and patchouli extend longevity without adding weight. It suggests sea air, clean cotton and clear skies in a sporty yet polished form. The suede is what lingers, a soft, almost clean-leather hum on the wrist.
When to wear it
Perfect for summer, the office and outdoor weekends; it suits men who like easygoing freshness.
It belongs to the Fougère, Aromatic family. Polo Blue is one of 3 creations by Ralph Lauren in our encyclopedia.
