The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Polo Red Pride Edition by Ralph Lauren was launched in 2020 and crafted by perfumer Olivier Gillotin. This fragrance captures the essence of boldness and confidence, blending vibrant citrus notes with warm spices and woody undertones. The opening features cranberry and pink grapefruit, which give way to a heart of clary sage and lavender. The base notes of Brazilian redwood, amberwood, and coffee provide a rich warmth that lingers throughout the day.

How to wear it

This fragrance has a strong projection, so one or two sprays are sufficient. It blooms quickly on the skin but maintains its warmth throughout the day. Best suited for daytime wear when you want to make a lasting impression without being overpowering.
