Polo Red Intense by Ralph Lauren, launched in 2015 and crafted by perfumer Olivier Gillotin, is a Woody Spicy fragrance that blends fresh citrus with warm spices and rich leather. The composition opens with cranberry, blood grapefruit, and lemon, creating a vibrant and zesty top note. This freshness gives way to the heart notes of saffron, coffee, ginger, lavender, and sage, adding complexity and warmth. The base notes of amber, leather, and red cedar ground the fragrance in a subtle yet distinctive aura.

Application Tips
Apply Polo Red Intense with two sprays in the morning for a scent that evolves throughout the day. The fresh top notes dissipate within an hour, allowing the warm spicy and woody base to take center stage. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than across a room.
