Polo Red Eau De Parfum Extreme

#1652 in my “Tour de Fragrance” Got this as a 2ml sprayette from scentswithsense.com. I liked Polo Red Parfum. This is much better. There seems to be some confusion about the notes. These are the notes from Ralph Lauren: Amber; Woody Notes; Leather Accord; Red Ginger; Vanilla Bourbon. This has a nice spiciness that I would attribute to red ginger. I find this a very attractive scent. But for me, unlike some reviewers, I’d wear this in daytime warm weather. The silage is arm’s length and there’s nothing about this that will offend anyone, so car pool, elevator, small office safe. I’m getting about five good hours on the skin before it’s just vanilla, which is typical longevity of all the Polo EDPs. I think it’s a daytime causal fragrance but you can certainly wear it anywhere and around the clock. Just doesn’t strike me as formal wear. More something you keep in your gym locker. Most of the sellers I usually go to aren’t stocking this yet. Amazon, Macy’s, Dillard, all want $135 for it which is about double what I’ve paid for the other Polo EDPs from sellers like Jomashop. So, I’m getting a bottle of this, but I’ll wait until other online retailers I use have it in stock where I expect pricing will be under $70. Good Luck and Good Hunting!

This is CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED on here. The ginger opens bright and fresh, then vanilla and leather close it out with actual refinement. Its shockingly better than you'd expect at this price point. Versatile, VERY long-lasting, and projects really well. Compliment count: my 3-year-old approved it, and so did the Costco door checker. Two demographics that don't lie. Only gripe is the bottle looks like it belongs in a gas station display case. Toss this juice in a YSL Private Line bottle and people would lose their minds. Don't let the packaging or these lame reviews fool you.

I find this a masculine slightly sparkly vibrant ginger and bourbon coming through a dark leathery accord which I quite like the feeling it gives me when I wear it. I consider this one a little bit underrated

This one just appeared out of nowhere. I was walking in Dillard's, and the gentleman who usually helps me in men's fashion was wearing a strong fragrance. It wasn't bad, but it was pretty overpowering. I asked him what he was wearing, and he said the new polo red. He showed me, and I bought it. I don't know if he oversprayed it (he said he just sprayed it twice), but it was projecting like a monster. I bought it, and when I wear it, I have to be careful not to overspray it. Do I like the scent? Yes. It is like every other vanilla scent out there. Nothing groundbreaking, but nice smelling.

I can't lie gang the first 5 mins are fucking harsh(I am not a ginger/spicy not fan). Although once I get past the first 15-ish minutes, it settles to a sexy, sensual, and sweet scent. I have been complimented on this one by all the office ladies who are my number one critics. So please don't let the shit tester strips scare you, spray it on skin and come back to it in 20 mins your situationship will thank you (first 20 mins)Song to match scent - Mr. Moustache by Nirvana (remaing time)Song to match scent - Wicked Games by The Weeknd

It's a decent cool weather dumb reach fragrance. Smells like a mix of Polo 67 EDT and Ralph's Club New York. It's not going to blow the socks off most of the folk on here, but the general public will find this appealing. It smells good, has decent performance, has decent silage, and people have complimented it and asked me what was I wearing. Retail is at a price decent, but will be a much better buy in a few months from discounters. I got a bottle to review for free so feel free to take what I say about it with a grain of salt.

Vanilla heavy, very strong, warm and reminds me a touch of Dior Suavage Elixir. Go to your local Macy's and grab a sample vial first.

I got a sample from a macys employee and put it on today i really like it but I wouldn’t buy a full bottle 7/10

overhated it’s just a normal designer leather dna. Sweet leather and vanilla combo 7/10

Simply put, it smells good but the performance is weak.

Tested this after spraying it on my arm at Sephora. I can definitely see some people really liking this from opening to drydown. But, this is not to my taste. I'm not really sure that the drydown is what I'd like. There's a strong suede vanilla combo, but it's like there's something extra in there that I dont want and something missing. I wish that ginger lasted a bit longer. Not at all a summer fragrance, fall winter only imo. It's nothing like the rest of the Polo Red line, it's a huge departure from Polo Red Parfum which I love.

Ralph's new Polo contribution for colder day wear. This is a step up from the usual Polo releases. You can definitely smell the Polo DNA running through it but it's like it's grown up a bit. It's got more body, a bit more depth and a bit more interest with the ginger and mild powdery leather. Is it revolutionary? No, but you will smell good for around four hours. This makes an ideal present as it's mass appealing yet...... .......what I'm trying to politely say is, it's boring but pleasant but boring.

When I tested it on a paper strip, it smelled great, but on my skin it does not develop as nicely. For some reason, it just does not react well with my chemistry. In certain ways, it reminds me of the Philipp Plein No Limits line. I own the Super Fresh flanker, and at first I could not stand it. Over time, however, it really grew on me and is now one of my favorite fragrances. Maybe it will be the same with Polo Red Extreme. Perhaps I just need to wear it more and give it some time.

Definitely different, ginger and leather is noticeable. The try to make a new Polo Red is noticeable here but not wearable. Not great pick and there's other good fragrances.

I prefer the 2017 polo red extreme version.

absolutely feral and borderline nasty SPICY pungent repulsive and animalic straight beaver gland and cat behind save ur time don’t even bother smelling a test strip Barely smells like Polo Red To be fair the dry down actually was Okay & decent

The ginger and leather combo is nasty in the opening. The dry down smells like any other polo cologne musky/manly. Definitely pass on this one

I thought the opening was ok but the leather note in the dry down smells too synthetic to me.

Another underwhelming release from RL

This is my first review on the site, I normally keep my opinions and thoughts to myself as perfumery is very personal and everyone's interpretations are different, but my gosh is this awful. Opening is harsh and screechy, very confused BO smell. Dry down is better but still not my cup of tea. I suppose if you like leather, you may like the dry down but I think there are much better designer alternatives if that is the scent profile you are after.
