Carlos Benaim

"Polo Green EDT is the original Polo fragrance introduced by Ralph Lauren in 1978 and remains one of the landmark masculine designer scents of its era. Its identity is built around a forceful aromatic-green opening, a rugged pine-and-leather heart, and a mossy tobacco-woody base that gives it an unmistakably old-school profile. Contemporary references consistently describe it as mature, assertive, and highly traditional in character rather than airy or modern-fresh. The fragrance is widely associated with country-club, equestrian, and classic American luxury imagery, fitting Ralph Lauren’s broader brand world. Carlos Benaïm is commonly credited with its creation in secondary sources. Even in its modern market presence, it is still regarded as the standard-bearer for the Polo name and a touchstone for vintage-style masculine perfumery."

Reviews Summary

“User and editorial feedback consistently portrays Polo Green as a classic, rugged, highly masculine scent with a strong pine-led opening, leather in the heart, and a tobacco-oakmoss drydown. It is often praised for timelessness, maturity, and distinctive old-school character, while common criticisms mention that it can feel forceful, polarizing, or too mature for some wearers. Reviewers frequently recommend it more for cooler weather and evening wear than for hot-weather casual use. There is also recurring commentary that vintage bottles smell richer or deeper than more recent production.”
