Ralph Lauren Polo Cologne Intense (125ml) launched in 2021, this Aromatic Fougere takes the soul of the original 1978 icon and adapts it for a contemporary audience. It is characterized by an herbal, cooling energy that feels both sophisticated and athletic.

The fragrance opens with an invigorating blast of fresh mint and aromatic basil, sharpened by the tartness of grapefruit. The heart remains strictly herbal and "botanical," utilizing clary sage, thyme, and the watery-green crispness of violet leaf. The dry down transitions into a clean, earthy finish where patchouli and vetiver are modernized by a smooth, long-lasting ambroxan base. Its airy and herbaceous profile makes it ideal for warm weather and daytime wear.

How to Apply

Pulse Point Application: Apply to the wrists and the base of the throat. The heat from your pulse will help the herbal notes of basil and sage radiate.

Hair Mist: For an extra trail of freshness, lightly mist your hair. The "green" notes of Polo Cologne Intense are particularly pleasant when caught in a breeze.

Clothing Tip: Spray your cotton or linen shirts. The vetiver and patchouli in the base will cling to natural fibres, providing a clean, "soapy" scent that lasts throughout the workday.
