The story behind the bottle.
Polo Blue Eau de Parfum by Ralph Lauren, launched in 2016 and crafted by perfumer Carlos Benaïm, is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of fresh sea air and earthy woods. It opens with vibrant citrus and aromatic notes like bergamot and basil before transitioning into a heart of cardamom and verbena, adding warmth and spice. The base notes of suede and vetiver ground this composition in an earthy, woody depth, creating a scent that is both refreshing and enduring.
This fragrance has a strong opening that fades into its woody base notes over time. Two sprays provide ample coverage, and it pairs well with an early morning jog or a day in the office before transitioning to evening wear.
