My discovery of the year
The frequency of my reviews is steadily decreasing over time. To be honest, this is partly due to my own laziness in taking the time to write a few more lines. On the other hand, and this is the main reason, I only pay more attention to fragrances that I really like. In my case, these are those that I rate with at least a 9. For all others, I like to use the short statement function. And the more I test, the less likely I am to find a fragrance that is worthy of a review. Especially as I feel I already know everything "great" and "good" (at least that's what I think, but I also know that this isn't really the case). But there are always discoveries that make you feel positive and show that it's worth testing and waiting. And since I came across this fragrance "out of nowhere", it is worth writing a review for it in addition to the statement.
Ralph Lauren is certainly known to most men for the classic polo shirts with the well-known brand logo on the left side of the chest. At least that's how I personally felt until a while ago. During my research, I realized that the label also (logically) produces many other items of clothing and other products. In addition to the latest fashion, there is also a very broad portfolio of lifestyle items, such as furniture, decorations and games. And, of course, the brand also brings out fragrances.
Among the men's fragrances, the green-spicy classic from 1978, which bears the uncomplicated name Polo Eau de Toilette, certainly stands out to this day. No less good in my eyes and also worth a mention is the 1992 classic Safari for Men Eau de Toilette, which is a great tart-green-herbaceous fragrance with a soapy shaving water vibe.
There is also currently a "Polo Earth" series, which includes four fragrances. Three of these (Polo Earth - Antilles Vetiver , Polo Earth - Moroccan Neroli and Polo Earth - Provencial Sage ) were released this year, but the fragrance reviewed here was released last year. And I was very taken with it, because it is a wonderful perfume that I discovered by chance at Karstadt in Düsseldorf and would like to share with you.
Polo Earth is declared here as a unisex fragrance and this is 100% true in my eyes. It begins with a wonderful freshness of various hesperides; a conglomerate of citron (cedrat), bergamot, petigrain and mandarin. The top note is therefore a wonderfully fresh, citrusy beginning, which contains a subtly fruity component with a minimal green accord thanks to the petitgrain and mandarin, which is particularly typical of lemon petitgrain This refreshing beginning is joined by the bright floral heart, in which the orange blossom holds the sceptre in my nose. This blossom resonates throughout the fragrance and is always hidden in the background, but on closer inspection or analysis of the fragrance, the floral heart of the scent is very recognizable. In addition to its fresh citrus aroma, the O blossom is characterized by its vanilla-like, sweet scent, of which little to nothing is discernible to my nose in this fragrance.
At the base, the perfume takes on a clean and slightly soapy accord, which I attribute to the musk mentioned here. I particularly recognize this type of musk note in Narciso Rodriguez fragrances, which gives me a feeling of total cleanliness and I like it very much.
Due to its composition, Polo Earth is an excellent candidate for a signature fragrance that can easily be worn by men and women all year round, although it would certainly come into its own in warmer weather. The longevity for a fragrance of this type is to be expected in the medium range; in other words, I perceive it on my skin for about 4-5 hours. In terms of sillage, it is also in the predictable range. It radiates well for the first hour before it slowly but surely recedes. The bottle is quite classic and sits well in the hand. It has an appealing, elongated rectangular shape with a transparent/translucent glass bottle, a wooden lid and a white sticker with green lettering of the name and the typical brand logo on the front.
I can recommend a test to anyone who, like me, likes cologne-like fragrances and has no problems with light floral notes. It's a really great, summery, refreshing, friendly perfume that really makes you want spring and summer. It somehow evokes a morning walk through the forest in late spring, where the first flowers are sprouting and in full bloom, while the wind blows through various trees and time seems to stand still... Where the air and the sun's rays are warm as you walk past mossy cedars that sway gently and exude robust woody notes...
In any case, I am very happy when the first rays of sunshine peep out, so that this treasure can be put to use. After all, alongside Pour Homme by dear Schallhoerer, this perfume is my personal discovery of the year, even though, as mentioned, it was released in 2022. And regardless of that, I just wish for sunshine again, because I am anything but a winter child...
With this in mind, I would like to wish everyone a happy new year and all the best for 2024, especially lots of health! And hopefully plenty of sunshine very soon...
Thank you for reading!
