Polo Black, a 2005 Ralph Lauren fragrance for men by Pierre Negrin, is woody first; two thirds of wearers also find it gourmand and citrusy, and a third aromatic.
The notes are listed together rather than in stages: mango, tangerine and lemon for the fruit, sage and wormwood for the herbal side, patchouli, sandalwood and tonka bean for the base. Mango is the unusual one, a sweet, tropical, slightly resinous fruit that gives the gourmand impression, brightened by tangerine and lemon. Sage and wormwood bring a dry, bitter, aromatic edge that keeps the mango in check. Patchouli adds earth, sandalwood a creamy wood, and tonka bean a warm, sweet hay note at the end.
Most wearers find the longevity moderate and a quarter call it weak. Sillage is moderate for about half and intimate for a third. It is voted for spring and summer and slightly more for day than night, suiting casual warm-weather wear.
