Ralph Lauren Polo Blue Eau de Toilette 125ml Spray

Ralph Lauren Polo Blue Eau de Toilette 125ml is a clean, sporty aromatic fougère for men, launched in 2003 and signed by master perfumers Carlos Benaïm and Christophe Laudamiel. A bright, dewy opening of cucumber, melon and mandarin gives way to a herbaceous heart of basil, sage and geranium, and settles into a soft, slightly suede-tinted base of woody notes and musk — a fragrance designed to feel as fresh as a summer afternoon on the polo field.

About Polo

Ralph Lauren launched his eponymous label in New York in 1967, and the Polo line has been a defining men's classic from the brand for decades. The fragrance arm, produced under licence by L'Oréal, has built one of the most successful masculine portfolios in modern perfumery; Polo Blue is the brand's most accessible and widely worn flagship masculine signature, presented in the line's distinctive blue glass bottle.

Who it's for

Polo Blue suits men looking for a clean, easy-to-wear daily signature with an unmistakably American freshness. The cucumber-and-melon opening makes it a particularly strong choice for spring and summer, while the soft suede drydown gives it enough warmth to carry into early autumn. A natural pick for office, daytime, weekend and casual evening wear, and one of the safer first-fragrance choices for younger wearers.

How to wear it

Spray onto pulse points — the inner wrists, sides of the neck and chest — from around 15 cm away. Apply to clean, moisturised skin straight after a shower for the longest wear. Two to three sprays balance well; the eau de toilette concentration projects strongly in the first hour and softens to a clean musk-and-suede drydown.
