The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1997 by Ralph Lauren and crafted by perfumer James Krivda, Polo Sport Woman is a Floral Aquatic fragrance that balances zesty citrus with fresh aromatic notes. The opening of melon, lemon, and peppermint gives way to a heart of orange blossom and freesia, before settling into a base of musk and woody accords like cedar and sandalwood. This composition captures the essence of modern elegance — crisp, clean, and versatile enough for any occasion.
Apply one to two sprays for daytime wear — the fresh top notes will fade within an hour but leave behind a subtle, long-lasting musk and woodsy base. Best worn during cooler hours when the aromatic accords feel most refreshing.
