The Story

Launched in 2021, Polo Cologne Intense Eau de Parfum by Ralph Lauren is an aromatic fougère that captures the essence of modern sophistication. Created by perfumers Carlos Benaïm and Pascal Gaurin, this composition opens with a vibrant interplay between basil and mint, giving way to a heart of grapefruit and clary sage. The base notes of ambroxan, vetiver, and patchouli ground the fragrance with earthy warmth, creating a dynamic contrast that evolves throughout the day.
