Polo Double Black, released by Ralph Lauren in 2006 and composed by Ellen Molner, is a spicy gourmand marketed for men. Spice leads, sweetness is strong, and woods add a touch.
The opening is fruity and peppery: mango gives a ripe, tropical sweetness and pepper a dry, sharp spice. The heart is roasted and warm, with roasted coffee beans bringing a rich, slightly bitter note and Indonesian nutmeg a warm spice. The base is juniper berries, woodsy notes and cardamom, a piney, dry and aromatic finish.
Most wearers report moderate longevity, some weak, and a mostly intimate sillage. It is voted for autumn and winter and leans towards evening wear. It suits dates, evenings out and cool weather, and anyone who likes coffee and mango spice in a subtle, close-wearing form.
