About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Polo for Men (1978) is a Woody Chypre that opens with a bracing blend of juniper berries, basil, artemisia, caraway, coriander, and bergamot. This herbaceous, spicy introduction quickly gives way to a heart of pine needles, leather, chamomile, pepper, carnation, geranium, jasmine, and rose—a complex, rugged bouquet that balances floral softness with dry, green facets. The base is a powerhouse of tobacco, oakmoss, patchouli, cedar, vetiver, musk, and amber, leaving a lasting, earthy trail that epitomizes classic masculinity.
Collectors of vintage masculines will appreciate Polo’s uncompromising structure and rich, dense character. It suits those who favor bold, traditional fragrances with a strong woody-chypre backbone. Ideal for evening wear or cooler months, it commands presence and is best for mature, confident individuals who enjoy a scent with history and depth.
