The story behind the bottle.
Big Pony 1 by Ralph Lauren, launched in 2010 and crafted by perfumer Yves Cassar, is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that balances fresh spiciness with the warmth of coniferous woods. The opening notes of citrus and aromatic elements introduce a crisp freshness that transitions seamlessly into a heart of woody and spicy accords, creating an overall sense of natural elegance. This composition captures the essence of Ralph Lauren's signature American-prep style, blending traditional scents with modern sophistication.
Apply Big Pony 1 with two sprays to allow its woody base to develop fully on your skin. The citrus and aromatic top notes are bright but transient, so let them settle before heading out. This fragrance is best enjoyed close to the skin, where it reads as a warm, subtle presence.
