Polo Earth

Definitely reminds of the original JV Artisan as well as Artisan Pure. It’s that orange blossom that really reminds me of Artisan, and the more earthy, grainy/textured elements that remind me of Artisan Pure. They definitely all fall into the same category, and it’s a category I love. This one is quite surprising and unexpected from Ralph Lauren, honestly. It’s amazing. It smells more like a niche unisex fragrance than a designer, hands down. Incredibly natural, uplifting, refreshing, yet soothing. Leans more male IMO, though yes it’s definitely a unisex scent. It’s got a slight touch of rugged earthiness which pushes it more into male territory, but of course the florals smooth it out and keep it wholly unisex. Longevity and projection are surprisingly good. As far as scent profile, this is along the lines of the Tom Ford unisex frags and some of the early JV Artisan line. Easy to wear, light, breezy, soothing, and incredibly natural. Very Italian to my nose... reminds me of a beautiful Italian shore in the spring breeze. Incredible

Firmly unisex, niche leaning, and beautifully fresh. This is possibly the first and only neroli that I can still smell on my clothes the next day. It is very similar to classic cologne fragrances like 4711 and TF Neroli Portofino, but there’s something with a little bit of depth that gives it support and longevity. As others have said the opening is pure citrus and a little lavender, but the drydown is really when this fragrance becomes BEAUTIFUL. Polo Earth rides out on the skin as a neroli and sage scent. The neroli stays very true and strong throughout- those who are familiar with neroli fragrances knows that this is no easy feat. The sage and musk add a fuzzy greenness to the whole thing that takes it in a comforting, almost spa-like direction. This beautiful fragrance almost feels like it has come from the house of Jo Malone- it’s uncomplicated, fresh, and very very versatile. Polo Earth is a graceful EDT cologne. Quite lovely.

Love it! Big fan of this scent profile. A higher quality, higher definition version of Banana Republic Neroli Woods to me. Slightly more unisex and more playful than Bvlgari Wood Neroli, but same ballpark.. similar woody base. Polo Earth has that sexy floral element to it that reminds me of Artisan Pure. Next association would be 4711, but 4711 is of course more sharp and focused on orange blossom and citrus rather than woods and florals. Mugler being more green, and Acqua di Parma Colonia and Essenza being more complex and soapy, are not as similar to me, even though they are related, like cousins. Overall a nice pickup on discounters if you're a fan of the fragrances I mentioned above and neroli/cologne style in general. Could be redundant to some, but I can't get enough of this DNA. I got the gift set with the travel atomizer and lotion cause I knew they would get plenty of use during the spring and summer.

Polo Earth is a walk through a morning wood in late spring. Honeysuckle and magnolia in full bloom as citrus, mint, and fresh green scents waft by on rose and neroli laden breezes. The air is crisp and the sun warm as you stroll past mossy cedars swaying gently; their roots tugging at dew dampened earth. From the strong citrus and mint opening through to the warm vetiver and mild musk dry down, a squeaky clean neroli persists throughout. For me this is a definite winner and one I will reach for often in spring and summer. The scent projects well past the 6 hour mark on my skin and the bright combination of florals and citrus are grounded by musk and vetiver. While I bought this blind because I found a great deal on a 3.4 oz bottle, I would highly recommend trying it out first. I can see how Polo Earth may not be for everyone yet, for those who love neroli, I’d say it’s definitely worth your consideration.

Even though it's not a clone by any means, to me this is very reminiscent of John Varvatos Artisan Pure and, to a lesser extent, Prada Amber Pour Homme. It smells like a fancy hotel soap with a citrus twist. I like it a lot, and for a Polo fragrance this actually lasts a long time on my skin, about 5-6 hours, so don't let the "sustainable ingredients" marketing put you off on trying it. This is a very nice unisex fragrance and a well-timed release for the Spring, and easily my new favorite Ralph Lauren of the past year. Just a note, for anyone looking to try Polo Earth at Macy's, it was at the women's perfume counter at the store where I got mine.
