Polo Sport Woman

I became interested on Polo Sport Women when a close guy friend of mine keeps on telling me how much he loves it and even eager to have one for himself (he's a straight guy by the way). He's travelling different countries but having a hard time to find it. So he asked me a favor to help him on his search then he will just pay me. I immediately searched on different stores locally and even online but sad to find out that it is already discontinued. Was able to find one before on ebay but to my disappointment it was fake! (Scent is gone in 1 minute). There are available stocks online from other countries but quite expensive, and also locally but got a fear that it is again, fake. After 3 yrs of search, luckily I found original one on ebay. The item is partially used but I never hesitated to get it just to fill in my curiousity and to justify why my friend loves it so much. And.. WOW!! the scent is DIVINE! ..Very fresh, clean and what I like about it is that the scent lingers and stays fresh despite the hot weather. Longevity on my skin is like 6-7 hrs. If only Polo Sport Women becomes available on market at this time, definitely I will haul it! ..And I don't think I will give this purchase to my friend, I'll keep this instead =P If you like fresh, spicy and aquatic floral (ie Tommy Girl, Kenneth Cole Reaction and Swiss Army from Victorinox), you will love this! Not exactly the same notes but to my nose the scents are pretty close giving me the same positive vibes.. very refreshing, energetic, but girly and elegant at the same time! Polo Sport Women is a winner. I love it!! :)

A diehard fan here. Got to know it while my best friend wore it in high school and I was daydreaming about being able to afford it for something like years! I purchased it with my 1st salary and to date I can't find a single flaw with it even if I try really really really hard. It is not a super-feminine scent, but at the same time i would never mistaken it for a man's cologne, so I do not see this as unisex at all. I praise this perfume for an amazing kick in the butt it gives one to wake up, smell fresh air, get out there and broaden one's horizons, in every sense! If a perfume actually helps you evolve and inspires you to do things, change, try to live off the beaten track - then it is worth to be called great and is allowed to cost as much as this one does. I don't ever feel a pang of regret spending my last cent on it. It lasts, oozes freshness all day long and earns endless compliments. Amazingly, it works for both day and night and sort of blossoms in late evening acquiring a slightly more "green wet" touch. I would simply die of a broken heart if I found it vanishing off the market one day.

★★★★ I searched long and hard for this, and finally found a 50ml bottle for cheap at a local store. (it was the only one left) Well, I have read that this can be unisex, and I can see what people mean because it's mostly fresh, but to me, this is the ultimate preppy college girl fragrance. It is an absolute 90s composition (but on the higher end of the quality spectrum), super fresh relaxed melon. Great longevity and sillage, more than 8 hours and it projects for the first 3. I was looking forward to use it for myself, but I think it will be ideal for my sister! Shame Ralph Lauren -as a brand- has lost its fragrance mojo nowadays! Not that groundbreaking like its male counterpart and those astronomical prices online cannot be justified, but definitely pleasant and beautiful!

I used to love this scent! I recently came across a bottle of this at a perfume store in the mall, but the color had turned and when the SA sprayed it, it definitely didn't smell like how I remembered it. Then, I was in Rite Aid and I saw a bottle of it there as well. I had the SA take it out of the box just to see if it also had turned color and indeed it did. But she told me I could spray it and it actually smelled somewhat decent like I remembered it. I still didn't buy it though. When I picked up my son from a friend's house he go into the car and said, " What's that awful smell?!" and I had to agree that it smelled like cleaning products,oh well. I can glamorized the scent in my head, even though the reality of the bottles found today are spoiled:(

I loved this from the first moment I smelled it. It is fresh, clean, very wearable, and every time I wear it I get complements (though discontinued, I keep a bottle in my fridge for special occasions). The smell reminds me of a fit, sharp, professional woman. It can be for work or play, and it smells 'grown-up.' Not Chantilly or Chanel No. 5 'grown-up,' but definitely not the go-to fragrance of a sorority. One spritz is plenty. Initial spritz is spicy any and citrusy, the dry-down is clean and smooth. It's strong, though, so beware if you are fortunate enough to get your hands on a bottle.

Just found almost half of a large (unsure of size) bottle I must have purchased over ten years ago. I still love this scent. I am not sure I would call this aquatic. Something separates it from the majority of aquatics. It opens with a lot of lemon (great in hot weather). Then the mint really stands out and gives you a herb garden feeling. I am so happy I found it. I tried to replace it with another sport perfume and that did not work nearly as well. This is a tried and true Lauren. The sillage and staying power both are good. I AM SO HAPPY I FOUND MY BOTTLE!!!!!!!

I purchased the dupe by the Greek dupe brand Fleur, it's called Patricia. Please don't do it. Just don't. The smell is nothing like the original and on top of that it is very poor quality. It smells like a bathroom cleaner, a harsh chemical lemon smell. On top of that it is impossible to return it. So I'm stuck with a really bad perfume that I will use as bathroom spray. Plus I adored Polo Sport Woman, I'm devastated that it cannot be found any longer. I loved the energetic, aquatic, clean vibe....

My aunt wears this since I was a little girl. Everytime I smell this perfume, it reminds me of her. It's sooooo good. I LOVE IT. I don't know why, I think it's very sweet, but I can't find anything sweet looking through the notes. It's gotta be my childhood memory. I can smell the melon anyway. It's fresh and citrus but I really think it's very sweet. Perfect for every season. Feels like a fancy perfume. It stays all day long.

Beautiful memories from 1997 holiday when it was released!:) At that time I used to hate melon scents but my mom got it for herself. Now I still have little left as she gave me her bottle and of course it is old and slightly stinky, but I can still feel the breath of that beautiful summer. If I already faced Escape and Eden, this one will surely be my next step, if I manage to find it somewhere.

Oooooh ... this brings back TONS of memories. I remember getting this for my 16th bday a few months after it came out and I wore this perfume for about 2 years straight through high school. This caught the attention of boys back then, and I have no clue why. It's very fresh and everytime I smell it I get a little nostalgic, it's like high school in a bottle for me.

I've been wearing this for years. I like it for any kind of business casual kind of occasion. Now that I work in a hospital I don't wear it to work anymore. I used to wear it to work functions at my office job. I like it for day and night.

This was one of my favorite perfumes of all time! I wish RL would bring it back. I have been able to find versions of this through perfume oil companies and a couple smell very close, but not exactly how I remember it back in the day.

This was one of my favorites in my late teens/early 20's. It seemed like such a popular fragrance I can't understand why it was discontinued. I have a small amount left and I am holding on to it since it is so hard to come by.

For all those searching: I found one dupe on the Greek website 'Fleur'. It's called Patricia. I haven't tried it though, so I can't really recommend. But it's cheap, so may be worth a try! edit: tried it. Nope.

It broke my heart when they delisted this. I love the peppery clean smell with the melon. Divine. Wish I could find some at a reasonable price but fear it would be off now anyway.

This was one of my favorite perfumes! I was so sad when they stopped making it. This was such a nice scent! It was energetic and fresh and not offensive at all!

Though citrusy this smells sophisticated in my opinion. It must be the woody note. I love it. It's one I always go back to even after many years.

I miss so much this fragrance. I probably had/wore like 3 bottle from this. Would be great if RL brought this back♥️

Nice daytime scent. Summery and fresh. Long lasting and a good pick me up. A great anytime smell.

A clean fragrance that smells like the purest freesia

I got this as a gift a few months ago but I decided to wait until summer to wear it. It's one of those fragrances that screams "SUMMER!" from the roof. Polo Sport starts quite woody and fresh... at first I thought it was pine, but then I saw that those notes are eucalyptus and mint. Immediatly it changes to a citrusy fragrance (mostly grapefruit) with something sharp in it that doesn't make it edible but quite refreshing (somehow I associate this cent with a mojito). It lasts almost the whole day! (And the person writing here has a skin that eats the fragrances! Imagine my surprise). It's not a complex smell but it's refreshing and warm at the same time. I find that I prefer to wear this that Dolce&Gabbana Light Blue or Moschino Cheap & Chic I Love Love because not so many people wear it (definitely more original) and it's not that expensive. You can wear this in almost every ocassion and while I prefer it for summer, it's actually a noce scent for winter, the kind that lingers on you sweater or scarf for days with a cozy feeling. Will I repurchase it? I think so! I don't love it with all my heart but it's definitely one of the best citrusy scents I've found.

This fragrance brings back wonderful memories. I remember having time to kill between the end of the workday and my horseback riding lesson scheduled for that evening. One day, instead of killing time at the bookstore, I hit up the perfume counter and decided to buy Polo Sport Woman on a whim. I drove to the stable and sat in the car until it was time for the lesson and applied a little bit of this, and it was the perfect scent for riding. It's fresh, citrusy, summery and just really clean. It lifts your mood (or maybe it was just because I was riding and smelling the perfume rather than manure!). Lasting power is not bad at all, at least for me. It stays on for a good 4-5 hours at least, maybe a little more. I wish it was still in production because it's better than a lot of the Ralph Lauren scents for women that are available now. It's well worth tracking down a bottle.

Was my first signature scent, back in high school. Who am I kidding, my only signature scent! Haven't found a new sig since then! Lol. Walking through the mall the other day, I ran across a discount perfume kiosk that was somewhat new. I was browsing through the glass, and saw a couple bottles of this. The SA sprayed some on paper for me, but it took a few sniffs for me to remember the fragrance. It brought back so many memories. I still like the scent, enough to go back & buy it. Even if not to wear it, but just to sniff occasionally to bring back carefree days. I still have a bottle of Tommy Girl, they can hang out together & be friends :)

Fresh, young and sporty scent, the kind of perfume I avoided like the plague in the 90's only because it was everywhere. I think this perfume is classified as an aquatic but I dont get a prominent ozonic accord, mainly citrus, orange blossom, woods and musk. Its one of the few well crafted citrus scents and rather than anything, that orange blossom and mint is reminscent of a refreshing cologne we used to have at home when I was growing up. On skin, this scent lasts no more than 4 hours , and a shower removes all traces, but it does have its uses. Like others said, its an energizer so its perfect for the gym or as a morning scent...

My grandma wears it. She is very youthful, but she doesn ́t like girly scents (like I do). When I ́ve sprayed it in my hand I could smell the citruses, the eucalyptus and the mint. After a while I could smell some flowers (rose, I think), the patchoulli and the woods far away. I like it. I think it ́s very fresh and sporty and it ́s great for daytime. I ́d use it on summer and autumn, but I can ́t say why =). It has that fresh feeling like you ́ve just came out of the shower after the gym. Very pleasant. It ́s very easy to wear.

Such a nice perfume. I initially bought this when I was 14 in a drugstore! I immediately loved it later as a teen, but still love it. Although I have some difficulties to find it. It is very flowery though and the moment I put it I sneeze a little. But still love it. Once I borrowed it to my roomate, she wasn't very excited about it, but everyone in her work was. I suggest this perfume for summer or spring mornings or afternoons. I prefer more sweet scents for nights

Used to love this because my mom loved and wore it. Would steal a few spritzes every once in a while. LOL! It is fresh, mildly sweet, sharp but pleasant. Remeber it having a very distinct smell that would really last all day. Very cool and refreshing. This is far superior to L'eau d'Issey which actually made my stomach turn. If you are looking for an old school classic fresh scent then I would give this a try. ;')

Very, very crisp and citrucy! I mostly smell lemon and mint. Not really my kind of fragrance, but I imagine this could really hit the spot on a hot summer day. But the quality! Very minimum sillage and lasts like an hour. Bad! Shame on Ralph Lauren. Lucky I only paid five euros. Edit: This is great in the heat! Must be over 30 degrees and now this is refreshing and very pleasant. Definitely at it's best.

I fell in love with this perfume a few years ago. My mother used to wear this and then I followed her. The musk is perfect. I think it could be a unisex scent. Would be nice for everyday office wear and suitable for young, energetic women. The longevity is good and the dry down is also great.

Fresh water scent was always pleasurable when I used the product. I would layer the fragrance w cooling body gel. Dont think I would purchase again. There are other products I like better.

i havet before and i reamember toooo its very nice strong fresh smell!!!lot of citrus ginger mint a lot off very iresisteble notes!!i was in my teenage "before 17 years

It also reminds me of my teenage days - lovely memories are coming back. I got this as a present from my mum -and it was my feeling good fragrance.

a fresh ,sporty everyday fragrance. it also have a bit of warmth in it. citrus , white flowers , abitt of white musk maybe. a lovely energiser:)

I remember all the magazines with this scent strip in them. Such a fresh scent. Wish I still have a bottle of it.

This was my High School signature scent. The guys love this a lot.

Eucalyptus and nutmeg, smells like pickled cucumber in my country where we use all sorts of spices to flavor cucumber (dill is not listed but I can identify it clearly in the heart). I bet man does not like it at all.

I used to wear this a lot in the early high school years [8, 9 years ago?] and I really liked it. I sprayed some on me recently, and boy my tastes have changed. I did not like it at all.

Ralph Lauren Polo Sport Woman is the best aquatic I've found. Wish they'd consider a 25th anniversary rerelease. It is discontinued, tragically. It is so fresh and oceanic, lemon and herbal at the top. very natural smelling, not fruity sweet like so many aquatics, not as sweet and cloying as Escape though I don't hate Escape. Polo Sport Woman is very clean and office safe, a great dumb reach always lifts my mood wearing it. It smells wonderful in all phases, even the dry down is a soft musky faintly aquatic faintly laundry floral that makes me keep sniffing my wrist. I suspect they marketed it poorly which explains why I was over 50 when I found it despite loving the 90s aquatics and never encountering it in my prime during their hay day. I thought Polo was for men. The box could be a man's fragrance and nothing indicates oceanic or female in it's packaging. I remember no advertising so it's a hidden gem but it's very hard to find a bottle now that hasn't turned to celery. A half a tiny mini bottle that's beginning to smell celery is all I have left. I still use it, the celery burns off and it's still good. When I put it on I swoon " Whew! God that's fresh!" Reminds me of "Bridesmaids" where she's handed a lemonade in the driveway of the bridal shower and says" God that's fresh". This could be unisex, it's not heavily feminine, though it also because it's not masculine, I smell no woods, though they say it's there, it must be hiding. None of the other so called aquatics like Aqua Lily, Jess Mcclintock3 Diamonds and Sapphires, Eau D'Issy, etc smell anything like Polo Sport Woman, despite hearsay. It's in a class by itself. Closest category is Escape but way different. it's less sweet, fresher, and better! Bring it Back! Please! ⁝

It's the kind of perfume which I don't dare come close to it.melon and eucalyptus are among my most hated notes and I dislike green scents.today I saw a bottle of it in a dark,dusty corner of local perfume shop.I didn't know anything about it's notes and it had a reasonable price(I'm not sure about it's size,it was probably a 100mil priced 40$) When I sprayed it on my hand,I was shocked to smell an electric fresh smell.a blend of fizzy lemon and watery green notes.it was very cool and refreshing and a unique scent,at least for me.after couple of minutes I smelled my hand again to do the final decision.it was still cool green lemony scent.this time I could also pick up some spices and since I usually associate spicy citrus scents with unisex fragrances,I decided that it's not my type so I choose another perfume and left without smelling my hand again. When I sniffed my hand after about two hours it was a totally different scent!it was a light and clean musky floral with slightest hint of fruity/melon undertone!to be honest it's nice I'm going to test it once more and then decide.I like it's light musky floral dry down which is clean but not soapy but longevity and sillage aren't satisfying for the

The reason makes me so curious to smell this perfume was that one of the members has mentioned that it smelt like Tommy Girl. I agree!not that these two smell the same,but as it mentioned they both energize me.both are refreshing and perfect for summer.of course Tommy Girl is more floral,while this one is into lemon and aquatic notes. when I sprayed it on my wrist all I could smell was a kind of modern,young and energizing aroma.when I take a deep breathe I smell lemon over there,not sour lemon,nor lime,but the sweet lemon and it's well mixed with mint.a very fresh smelling without being sour. but more fun is even on the way... it doesn't lose it's freshness,but the floral notes makes it more feminine.I can't describe it like the notes shown here in the site,but I can say that I always smell sweet lemon in this perfume and it's really perfect. the bottle has the simple transparent shape of modern perfumes in 90 decade that always caught my attention.I'm afraid that I've discovered such a good perfume too late. still I like it very much,but if I had smelt it sooner I would fall in love definitely.

It seems I've come into possession of a vintage bottle of this 'stuff'. And from previous comments it seems some might be envious of my recent acquisition, ...ah, if they only knew. Yes, the name includes the word 'sport', ...and the bottle looks like a flask containing a perfomance-enhancing substance for olympic athletes. However, that is where the sportiness of this perfume ends. Instead, this overripe quasi-aquatic hyperfloral suggests the anthesis of sport, exercise, and good health. It is a sickeningly shrill, fruitbowl/flowerbomb made as if a soup of puréed honeydew melon & lemon was then overdosed with all the second-rate floral accords the other perfumers' in the lab weren't using. I couldn't identify them all on my own, but the note pyramid suggesting a random smorgasbord of freesia, cyclamen, lily (!), poppy (!!), etc. gives one some idea of where this is heading. Seriously, any average dollar store body spray has more dignity and self-respect than this mess. No, just no.

@arzacu - I hope you find another bottle of this! You're destined to be together <3 The first perfume I EVER owned, I'm pretty sure my mom bought it for me at Macy's. I still have the bottle and the juice is yellow and I don't even want to know if it has turned or not, I will keep it forever. I reminds me of the kind of scent I gravitated towards in my youth. My sister preferred the Obsessions and the Addicts but I was all about this. My taste eventually evolved but whenever I catch a bit of RL Sport, I instantly remember exactly why I loved it and exactly who I was back then. It's comforting because despite everything I feel like not THAT much has changed and all that good stuff is still a part of me.

This is just fresh ocean bliss. So crisp and refreshing. Not sweet at all and even though it's gender neutral it leans feminine. But it smells really clean and like the ocean you can't distinguish any melon it's not fruity. If you like sweet or seductive this isn't for you. It's a mood lifter and smells clean but it's not soapy. All the bottles seem to have gone bad everywhere yet they're still charging a fortune when you know they're spoiled. I've never been able to find anything like it. It doesnt smell like issy leau as some say.. nothing like it.. and not oceanic like Escape either. Though that's good, this is different. I wish they'd re-release this without changing a thing. Pure perfection 👌

Then we finally met again.. after some years of absence it is back again with me and I’m so in love, this perfume smells like happiness, freedom, it is a memory from youth and carefree days... I was very lucky I found a half full bottle, very well preserved, very first formula, very fresh, fruity, delicious scent and I’m cherish every drop of it.. it is the same scent I remember, so fresh and so strong, it lasts and lasts, very powerful 90s vibe, clean and invigorating. I wish I never be without it, it is definitely a favorite and a signature scent throughout my perfume journey.

I picked up Polo Sport Woman based on many positive reviews. Unfortunately, this fragrance does nothing for me. On the first spritz, all I could think is 'EWWW'. It smells synthetic, bitter, harsh, and cold on me. I kept hoping that Polo Sport would begin to transition and soften but that never happened. I was hugely disappointed in this fragrance. Perhaps it was my skin chemistry with this fragrance but there was nothing remotely pleasant about this for me. The only thing that I can say for it is that the fragrance only lasted for an hour.

A fabulous fresh aquatic essence! Very dense and very aquatic. It is strongly watre mint, melon, and lemon. It is sweet but not overly so. Fresh but not naggingly. It's crisp and quite cool somehow. As for florals I smell a hint of rose. I also get a bit of ginger somewhere in there. You should be careful about the amount you apply because, in my experience, this has very powerful sillage and fabulous lasting power. Very suitable to spring and summer. It is a happy scent. Casual, relaxed, cool. Great for outdoors.

this was my first RL perfume. i used to love this when i was in college. a classmate of mine used to wear this in summer and it was so refreshing, like melons! lingering fragrance and last a few hours. perfect for summers. i bought my own bottle several years later and used it thoroughly until only some 15ml was left because then suddenly i got bored of it. now, i think time and heat have taken their toll on the fragrance because it's not so melony now, it smells stale. or maybe i'm more into orientals now.

very cool.try to imagine unbelievable summer heat, your skin is red because of sun and hot air and then you will jump into the pool which is full of ice cubes...so that is this parfume. It is long-lasting, fresh and clean fragrance, very gentle and pleasant (but my mother had a headache from this-I don ́t know why, it is not strong or agressive, maybe she is allergic to some component)I think that melon and water mint are the core of this fragrance and they are also noticable for all time.

This perfume is very light, fresh and clean smelling. It smells mainly lemony to me. It's quite long-lasting and doesn't need to be reapplied often, if at all. I think though that it's far more of a summery perfume than for wearing during colder months as it's a bit too light, and maybe slightly astringent smelling, for wearing in cold weather. I like Polo but it's not one of my favorite perfumes, maybe because it lacks warmth and it's perhaps slightly too unisex smelling.

I don't think I ever entertained this because It's got kind of a masculine vibe to the bottle and logo. My cousin moved back into town and I found a 5.1 in her room. Maybe half an inch gone? Looked it up and was Amazed to see what people were asking for it.$500.00? EBay was better around $200.00. Showed my cousin the buzz about it, and she did not hesitate so to eBay goes! Lol
