About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Polo by Ralph Lauren, launched in 1978, is a woody chypre that opens with a bracing blend of juniper berries, basil, artemisia, caraway, coriander, and bergamot. This aromatic overture quickly gives way to a heart of pine needles, leather, chamomile, pepper, carnation, geranium, jasmine, and rose—a complex, spicy floral that hints at the ruggedness to come. The base is a powerhouse of tobacco, oakmoss, patchouli, cedar, vetiver, musk, and amber, leaving a lasting, earthy trail. This is not a shy fragrance; it’s a statement of classic masculinity, best suited for mature men who appreciate bold, traditional compositions. Ideal for evening wear or cooler months, Polo exudes confidence and timeless style. Collectors of vintage chypres will find this a cornerstone of the genre, embodying the craftsmanship of late-70s perfumery.
