Polo Red Rush

Polo Red Rush by Ralph Lauren, released in 2018, is a sweet, fruity citrus scent with a coffee twist. Gourmand and citrus are the two words everyone uses; about two thirds add aromatic, and a minority find it woody, musky and floral.

Grapefruit, mandarin and lemon give the bright, zesty opening, joined by red apple and pineapple for a juicy, sweet fruitiness. Mint and lavender add a cool, fresh aromatic lift. Coffee is the twist, a roasted, slightly bitter warmth that gives the sweetness depth, with saffron adding a faintly leathery spice. Orange blossom softens the middle, and cedar with musk closes the base clean and dry.

It is an energetic, easy-going masculine fragrance, more playful than the original Polo Red. It suits daytime and warmer weather, casual outings and sport-adjacent occasions, and should appeal to men who like fresh fruity scents with a hint of coffee rather than anything dark or serious.
