The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018, Polo Red Rush by Ralph Lauren is an aromatic fruity fragrance created by perfumer Olivier Gillotin. This composition opens with bright citrus and fruity notes like pineapple, lemon, mandarin orange, grapefruit, and red apple, creating a vibrant freshness that feels invigorating and energetic. The heart of the scent includes mint, lavender, and saffron, adding layers of aromatic complexity. It settles into a warm base of musk, cedar, and coffee, providing a grounding warmth that balances the initial brightness.
Polo Red Rush has a bright top note that fades within two hours, so for lasting impact, layer it over a light moisturizer. It's best applied to pulse points like wrists and neck where body heat can help warm up the musky base notes.
