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.

Pierre Negrin portrait

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.
