Polo Red pairs a sweet, gourmand side with bright citrus, and about half of those who describe it also find it spicy, woody, aromatic and ambery. Ralph Lauren released it in 2013 as a masculine scent, composed by Olivier Gillotin.
It opens with Italian lemon, grapefruit and cranberry, a sharp and slightly tart start rather than a sugary one. The heart turns warmer with saffron and sage, which add a dry, herbal spice. The base brings the gourmand element: coffee gives roasted depth, amber adds warmth and woody notes keep it from becoming dessert-like.
On skin, most wearers find the longevity moderate and a quarter call it weak, so it may need reapplying for a full day. Sillage is reported as moderate to intimate, staying close rather than filling a room. It is voted for autumn first and spring second, and slightly more for daytime than evening, which suggests an easy everyday scent for cooler, brighter days rather than a heavy night fragrance.
