Polo Black by Ralph Lauren was launched in 2005, crafted by the renowned perfumer Pierre Negrin. This Woody Aromatic fragrance opens with a vibrant burst of citrus and aromatic notes that cut through its sweet and tropical heart. The base layers of patchouli and warm spices add depth and complexity, creating a scent that is both modern and enduringly classic. Polo Black strikes a balance between freshness and warmth, making it suitable for any occasion.

Application Tips
Apply Polo Black generously to ensure the complex base notes have a chance to develop fully. The citrus opening is bright but fades quickly, so a heavier initial application allows the warmer heart and base notes to shine through.

The son of scent traders, Pierre Negrin learned his art in a laboratory rather than a school. His years spent in Mexico and New York influenced his work for Amouage, which tends to be cosmopolitan and pragmatic, capturing the complexity of the densest balsams and absolutes.
