...sweet smell of Polo by Ralph Lauren and today, I’ll be giving my worldly-wise opinion on it.
Having already reviewed the Polo Sport I thought today would be an appropriate time to review the earlier aftershave as Christmas is coming and I’m sure a few members out there still need a few idea’s of what to buy that special someone in their lives.
Personally, I picked up my bottle of Polo from Bodycare for £19.99. Bargin! ... ...thin and has a large Ralph Lauren logo on the front in gold.
The actual notes to Polo state that this aftershave has been created to celebrate the tradition of the sporting lifestyle, blended with notes of wood, leather and tobacco to create a lasting, subtle smell that will have an enduring appeal.
Well, the bit you’ve been waiting for! What’s it like?

Oh yes, the Badger does indeed stink. He smells of the sweet smell of Polo by Ralph Lauren and today, I’ll be giving my worldly-wise opinion on it.
Having already reviewed the Polo Sport I thought today would be an appropriate time to review the earlier aftershave as Christmas is coming and I’m sure a few members out there still need a few idea’s of what to buy that special someone in their lives.
Personally, I picked up my bottle of Polo from Bodycare for £19.99. Bargin! Polo can be purchased from Ralph Lauren stores (very expensive) Boots and from the House of Fraser.
The packaging to Polo is styled in a very minimalist way and is a very pale green with a darker green stripe across the front. POLO is written in white letters across the front. Although very basic, it looks damn good sat on the counter and even better in the bathroom. On opening the packaging you are greeted with the usual notes and the actual bottle, emerald in colour with a gold metallic screw top.
The bottle is wide but very thin and has a large Ralph Lauren logo on the front in gold.
The actual notes to Polo state that this aftershave has been created to celebrate the tradition of the sporting lifestyle, blended with notes of wood, leather and tobacco to create a lasting, subtle smell that will have an enduring appeal.
Well, the bit you’ve been waiting for! What’s it like?
After shaving I took the glass bottle in hand and then proceeded to struggle with the lid, as my hands were still wet. I dried my hands and had another go. On removing the lid I was presented with a mixed aroma that was heavy, woody and very overpowering. There was a distinct leather smell, which didn’t do much for me at the time!
As the smell was noticeable when just removing the lid I only applied a tiny amount of the aftershave. As soon as it had hit my skin the smell changed quite dramatically. The overpowering heavy smell disappeared and softer woody tones could be smelt. The revolting smell of leather became more and more subdued the longer I wore the aftershave.
Unlike the Polo Sport, Polo does not have a sweet citrus smell and that’s the only reason I do not wear this fragrance when I go out in the evenings. It is similar in nature and in some ways smell to Fahrenheit. It will get you noticed in the street, but in a club or bar, this isn’t the aftershave that will have the ladies flocking to sniff your neck! Don’t get me wrong, this aftershave has a distinctive, lovely smell, but it is more for daytime wear and meals with the “in-laws” in my opinion. Not a "pulling" fragrance and for this the aftershave is going to lose a star!
Would I buy it again?
Yes and I would recommend this aftershave to all who require it. It isn’t too expensive, it has a large bottle, it’s long lasting and the smell is still evident after 10 hours.
My only gripe about Polo is the actual design of the bottle. It does look amazing, but it is a bitch to keep hold of if your hands are wet and I frequently find myself dropping it!
RECOMMENDED

Advantages: The bottle looks quite classy Disadvantages: Very common smell associated with cheaper fragrances, not anything new or ingenuitive

Lets have a look at the product first.
Appearance
------------
The appearance is quite appealing. The bottle is a "bottle green" colour and rectangular in shape. The edges are subtly rounded to provided a very elegant looking bottle. The round, knob like, gold top add's to elegancy.
The front of the bottle has a gold embossed picture of a horse mounted polo player, galloping ...

Advantages: None Disadvantages: Smells like an ashtray
...would smell as good as Ralph Lauren was a top quality brand.
On arriving at our hotel room, we decided to go out to a nightclub. I delved into my bag to get my new Ralph Lauren Polo aftershave. I removed the bottle from the box and gave it a good squirt on my neck. I expected a sweet smelling aroma to fill my nostrils, but instead I was repulsed by a smell I can only associate with an ashtray. My girlfriend agreed that this aftershave was not up ... ...I paid £27.00 for a 118ml bottle at duty-free price. Ralph Lauren Polo retails for around £37.00 in high street stores. Frankly I wouldn’t pay half of the asking price. If you are young I would purchase Ralph Lauren Polo Sport and avoid this at all costs. ...

Advantages: i like the pump Disadvantages: too strong
Polo is one of those fragrances that will always be on the shelves. With its high-powered pump spray you get a big splash that is guaranteed to wake you up (honestly it always makes me sneeze).
It has a very strong scent and very long lasting, personally I prefer to use it as an air freshener then to actually wearing it. This definitely is a Fathers day present, but please keep in mind it is a very well made fragrance and people who like the strong ...

My wife bought me a bottle of Polo aftershave and I immediately tried it on. The fragrance was very deep and spicey with fruit undertones. I didn't need to put much on because it was very strong. After 15 minutes it settled down and I really liked the wafting aromas as I walked about.
It comes in a lovely bottle green design with a polo player logo printed on the side. I would recommend this aftershave as it does last as good as it smells and that ...

Prior to Tuesday I had never heard of RalphLaurenPolo Blue. I had never seen it advertised or actually smelt it on anyone I know. It?s existence was news to me, so when it came highly recommended by none other than Kappaslappa my interest was pricked and off I went to the link at www.fragrancedirect.co.uk to take a look at the aftershave described by her good self as a pulling magnet and indeed natural female Viagra.
After reading the online notes and taking into consideration the recommendation, I take my debit card in hand and bought a 75ml bottle of the Eau de Toilette (EDT) for £28.95 and I?m happy it say it was delivered two days later.
The bottle comes packaged in a rather understated stylish Royal Blue coloured box. As this is an aftershave in the Polo range the RalphLaurenPolo Player is emblazoned on the front in ...
Hi. I haven't reviewed in a while but today, I'm going to share with you my experiences of RalphLaurenPolo Blue. I first encountered this fragrance about two months ago when an nice lady asked me to 'model' it for her in Boots. Me, being such a nice person, did so and I do not regret it in the slightest; though I'm not so sure about my wallet...
As I have so many fragrances (more reviews coming soon), I bought the smallest version of Polo Blue, which was 40ml and set me back £15 as a friend of mine works there but the RRP for 40ml EDT Polo Blue is round about £25. I shall quote other prices later.
PoloRalphLauren, like most other perfume 'houses', do not specialise in cosmetics but in high-class fashion design. The box in which the eau de toilette cones in, like most other RalphLauren merchandise, has the polo player logo ...
Advantages: Pleasant and long-lasting Disadvantages: Overpriced
I've got so many bottles of after-shaves and colognes sitting around gathering dust, that I sometimes think I could nip down to Downing Street and mask the bad smell that emanates from there on a daily basis...nah, now that I think about it, no-one's got that much!
Still, it's hardly surprising that I'm gifted the stuff on an all too regular basis, I've always been clean-shaven...ish. My son (the dang hippy), on the other hand, cultivates the Robinson Crusoe look. So why people would shower him in after-shave (not literally) is anyone's guess. Perhaps it's an easy gift that requires little thought?
Anyhoo, I 'borrowed' a small dash of RALPHLAURENPOLO BLUE from him the other day
You can't miss Polo Blue. It comes in a squat, squarish bottle of the deepest, bluest, royal blue you could imagine. And if that's not enough, there ...
