Polo Red Eau de Parfum

For the longest time, I wore Polo Red intense as my signature/going out fragrance, and for date nights/ casual settings. When polo discontinued the polo red flankers leaving us with only the EDT, that was a pretty big blow. This is almost a 1:1 to Polo red Intense, but not quite. The reviewers saying the cranberry scent is gone are wrong, it’s still there, it still smells like Polo red, it does smell less prolific, it’s just slightly more citrusy and for me, it makes the scent slightly more versatile at the cost of some of the uniqueness, which I will take given that 80% of my collection are spicy oriental fragrances. What used to be a winter/fall scent is now a spring, winter, fall scent and can be worn at night if it’s ~85° or cooler. It’s a really sexy fragrance, very sporty and very manly. Like an exotic sports car. My hope is that if I continue to let it macerate, it will smell like my 2018 bottle of Polo Red Intesne

Polo Red Edp is Polo Red Edt with two major changes: 1) The fruity top notes have been tamed. This is an improvement, because the edt has a citrusy opening that never seemed to transition smoothly to its drydown. With less citruses, the cranberry note is more identifyable in the Edp, which is also a plus. 2) The performance is significantly better. That is not saying much, since Polo Red is a very subtle and underpeforming fragrance that calls for overapplying. The Edt has better projection during the first 15 minutes, but then the Edp takes the lead and projects farther and for a longer time. The velvety nuances appear early and stronger, which makes it more enjoyable. All in all, this is a very welcome addition to the Red line and a better option than the Edt in every respect. If you like Polo Red, you must like Polo Red Edp, since it is basically the same fragrance with some improvements.

Polo Red Eau de Parfum Ralph Lauren for men is the best polo fragrance aside with the original green and the missing supreme oud. its modern perfumery. unique ,fresh, comfort, rich deep scent ,seductive, nothing wrong here. its very similar to the one i wear these days ,last drops of my signature gant 2011 without the aquatic notes gant has,...one of my favourites! doesn't smell fruity or coffee like other red, its totally different for those who didn't like red series. the only red is the colour of the flanker. projection and longevity with 3 - 4 sprays its good for one day . to me its in the same class with blue channel , fahrenheit and la nuit ,,great sexy man's fragrance!

To me this is one of the best Polo Fragrance to date. Better than OG green. The new green is probably second. So about how this smells. I like that you do get a “red” profile when smelling this. It smells like sweet and slightly sour red citrus. I think it is excellent. It seems all year type of scent to me which is nice as well. It may be a little too sweet to some but it’s definitely not overpoweringly sweet. Don’t understand nor agree with the negative reviews.

I can't get enough of this fragrance. I have to spray it three or four times a day because it doesn't last very long, but I love the opening notes as much as the bottom notes so I don't mind. But RL makes their fragrances weaker with a nice opening note so that we will use more of it. It is shame, because I would like it to last longer, but I don't mind so much because I like the top notes! Great for the office, and casual wear. Love this scent.

A perfect blend of Intense and the original all blended to a nice smooth scent, its pretty damn awesome. If you love the red line you will love this, I am so happy I didnt listen to any of the silly online reviews. This fits perfectly in with the red line and is easily one of the best casual designer lines, I absolutely love it. Great release, great purchase, I'll get a lot of use from it and I always get comps from polo reds.

I don't know why so many people are hating on this. I just got a sample and I can't wait to buy a bottle. This smells great on me. It has an oriental and young vibe to it. I'm a 30 years old male and this smell appeals a lot to me. This is a fragrance you can wear all day, at the office or in a date. I feel like you can't go wrong with this.

Also the site needs to put in the correct notes , according to RL site the correct notes are: Top notes: ginger, red grapefruit, and cranberry Middle notes: lavender , clary sage , cistus Base notes: rich wood (guaiacwood oil, cedarwood oil), benzoin resinoid, opoponax resinoid, and musk Such a great release for us Red fans

The perfect fall scent. It's a beautifully balanced and easy to wear fragrance, ideal for the cool autumn weather. It's subtle enough to be a great office or everyday choice and won't overwhelm those around you. Love the cranberry note here. If you are looking for something simple for a fall season then look no further.

soft projection and sillage for the first 1-1.5 hour, but for the longevity i can actually still smell this really close on my skin after 9 hours indoor. got this $61 for 200ml

I’m blind buying this right now, because polo has a great red series. Just ordered another polo Extreme too. Polo red is a quality fresh sweet manly scent.

Its smell classic No fancy bulls**t...its just like old skool basic perfume for everyday use...very versatile and No regrets for blind buy picks..❤

This is an easy and attractive wear. Grab and go, just spray away. Layer it over Prada Luna Rossa Sport and create a little magic.

such a wonderful fall fragrance. The cranberry opening is yummy and the dry down is even better. lots of complements on this one.

I love this scent. It smells so warm and creamy and its relaxing in general

Not blind buy because in this Price it's expensive

Good, but the "spice" is just not there

The fruit in the opening is more cranberry-like than in original red, more tart and longer-lasting, which I really enjoy. However, I think the ginger-lavender-sage combo really smells like Noxzema to me, which is kind of a turn-off. My love-hate with this fragrance is that the very sweet vanilla-woody resins in the bass show up almost immediately after the top notes start to wear down, so throughout the rest of the fragrance, that's really all I can smell. I wish there was more contrast between that and something else, but there's a lot of herbal zest that picks up the resins and makes this a good fragrance. Overall it's significantly different from red EDT. It's warm, dark, and attractive. Not as good as EDT but a good flanker for sure. Scent- 6/10, amber, vanilla, fruit. Great combo, but I'm not sure it's blended as well as it could have been. Performance- 8/10, a lot of criticism for this one's performance but it's potent on my skin for sure. Blind Buy- No, definitely request a sample and take some time to experience the really quick dry down to the amber/resin blend. That will most likely make or break the fragrance for a lot of people, it's quite blunt coming right off the tart fruity opening but I enjoy it. Other Notes- Probably not worth the price to be honest, but the performance holds up for me. I see it as a date night fragrance for sure, but there's a lot of different opinions about nearly every aspect of this EDP, yet another divisive Polo flanker.

So I tried the Polo Red EDT, I loved the scent but I wanted more power. I found out about the Intense, went to purchase and it's discontinued. Checked out Extreme, same thing. So I haven't gotten either of those. Finally I decided to just try the EDP and wow, exactly what I was looking for. Maybe a little more gourmand than the EDT and a little less fresh, but what a fantastic every day scent. It's like Polo for the new millennium. It's got a slightly smoky, sweet but not too much vibe with the chocolate. It's delicious. It seems difficult to find fragrances that don't smell like clones. The Red line stands out on it's own and this is perfect. Some people complain about the performance of this, but I got around 6 hours maybe more. I think it's perfect for work, smells nice, not huge sillage so you're not killing everyone in the room, but you're gonna smell nice and masculine.

It’s a safe pleasant fragrance for cooler days...similar to EDT, but with a pinch more depth. Opens with a rich ginger/cranberry combo. Cranberry is deeper than the EDT...and certainly sticks around longer. As it dries, the sage and woods become more pronounced to blend with the cranberry. This certainly will please most...if not all. Longevity on me is above average. Projection is below average...which is fine by me and lets me wear it in businesss settings. Where this last longer than EDT, EDT pushes more (makes sense with the oil concentration). Fall through spring and most occasions. Overall, it is certainly what I have no problem wearing when I’m considering others. It’s safe and mass appealing. Certainly not something I would reach for when I’m wearing one of my favorites...on my time. Sample before you buy.
