Launched in 2018 by Ralph Lauren and crafted by perfumer Carlos Benaïm, Polo Ultra Blue is a modern take on the brand's signature freshness. The fragrance opens with bright citrus notes of citron and lemon verbena, which blend seamlessly into mineral and salty accords that evoke a brisk coastal breeze. This fresh aromatic composition then transitions to a warm, woody base interwoven with musky undertones, creating an intriguing contrast between its crisp top and its deeper, more enveloping heart.

Application Tips
Polo Ultra Blue has a strong initial burst but settles into its deeper notes over time. A light spritz in the morning will ensure that you experience both the crisp top notes and the warm, woody base as the day progresses. It's best suited for daytime wear when the fresh citrus can shine without overpowering.
