Beverly Hills Polo Club Sport 8

Beverly Hills Polo Club Sport 8, released in 2018 and marketed for men, is a spicy, smoky woody scent described in the broadest strokes. Spicy and woody are the two words everyone uses for it, in equal measure, which fits a formula given as three simple ideas.

It opens on precious woods, a general term for the dry, warm, slightly resinous woods that give a scent its structure, so the start is dry and dignified rather than fresh. The heart is spices, again unspecified, which suggests a warm, dry heat somewhere between pepper and the sweeter baking spices, adding energy to the woods without making them sweet. The base is smoke, a dry, slightly tarry, incense-like finish that gives the drydown a dark, after-the-fire character and is likely what people notice most as it settles on skin.

It is a scent for autumn and winter and for evenings, for men who like dry, smoky woods with spice and do not need fruit, citrus or sweetness anywhere in the picture.
