Polo and Polo Modern Reserve - Fragrances by Ralph Lauren
By Armondo Larks

The Ralph Lauren's fashion empire started in 1967.  What began as a tie shop has grown into a diverse collection of casual wear, sports wear, fragrances, home furnishings and accessories. The American panache for chic and preppy style defines the Ralph Lauren tradition of casual elegance. In 1978, Ralph Lauren launched its fragrance line and introduced Polo for Men and Lauren for Women. Today, Ralph Lauren's entire collection of fragrances is much-admired for its timeless sophistication.

Polo by Ralph Lauren

The iconic Polo Cologne by Ralph Lauren evokes memories of the past: an eternal masculine scent overflowing with lush greens. Created by perfumer Carlos Benaim, the composition is fresh, clean and very manly. The top notes opens up with a boost of green notes of artemisia, basil and thyme, cumin, coriander and cloves. The heart notes are marked by a strikingly bold combination of conifer woods, patchouli, oak moss and vetiver. The garden of greenery fades into luxurious aromatic smell of tobacco, leather and thyme. Devoid of anything floral and fruity, Polo is what truly separates men from boys. The wealth of green woods and the fragrant scent of pine needles communicate an image of maturity and virility.

Polo is a power fragrance as it is. The flamboyant scent of high-quality greens exudes an air of opulence. The warm and comforting scent embraces you with a distinct aroma that leaves you feeling crisp clean all day. Polo has an outstanding longevity and sillage; a few sprays will stay on the skin for hours.

Polo Modern Reserve

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Polo by Ralph Lauren, a new fragrance inspired by the vintage signature scent was created: Polo Modern Reserve is the new addition to the incomparable Polo tradition of classic scents. A unique blend of the old and new, Carlos Benaim, who also concocted the original Polo in 1978, created an exemplary combination of Polo fragrances infused with the vibrancy of the current genre. Invigorating and refined, Polo Modern Reserve opens up with top notes of cardamom and basil then embraces the smooth and refreshing aroma of jasmine, myrrh and vetiver. Capping off the masculine scent is a flowing composition of classic tobacco, woody accords, leather, suede and patchouli.

Polo Modern Reserve is marketed as the subdued version of the original. It aims to appeal to the "sons" of Polo. Polo Modern Reserve may have fewer ingredients than its parent scent but the masculine aroma is ubiquitously felt.   

The transition of the Polo fragrances through the years bespeaks the unparalleled legacy of Ralph Lauren. The fragrance line ventures into modern scents as defined by the evolving scent palate of the market today. Yet amazingly, the fragrance is able to maintain its classic touch.

Polo Cologne is available in 4 oz and 8 oz and Polo Modern Reserve comes in 120 ml and 240 ml eau de toilette.
