The story behind the bottle.
Polo Crest by Ralph Lauren was launched in 1991 as an aromatic, fresh-spicy fragrance that perfectly captures the essence of modern elegance. The composition opens with basil and artemisia, creating a bright and invigorating start that is grounded by the earthy tones of oakmoss and leather in the base. This blend of green and woody accords gives Polo Crest a lasting quality — it’s neither too heavy nor too light, making it suitable for various occasions.
Polo Crest's aromatic opening is bright but fleeting, so apply two sprays to ensure it has time to develop. The base notes are earthy and warm, making this fragrance ideal for cooler evenings or layered under a jacket.
