Polo Double Black (for men)

jr

Masculine and made for this millenium, not an old fashioned kind of scent. Wonderful coffeeshop memories along with Mango make it soooo interesting. My husband likes the look and feel of the bottle as well and is not one for anything unisex. Will buy again and again. It is an EDT, therefore will have to reapply, but who cares. We both love it.

I just got this cologne today and I must say that I am very impressed.

The top notes of pepper and mango are very evident, but I do not believe them to be overpowering. The contrast between these two makes for a simple yet surprising scent.

After this it fades into a much more mellow, subtle scent consisting primarily of roasted coffee. This lasts for only a few minutes, and is the most subtle (and hardest to smell) part of the cologne.

The base notes are my favorite part. Although the sillage is not powerful by any means, the woody aspects of the base are to die for. They are clearly woody, and slightly sweet, for a soft but sophisticated scent. It reminds me of a log cabin in the woods at night.

I would recommend this cologne for evening or night. It is intelligent, calm, and woodsy. I wouldn't think of this so much as a "going clubbing" cologne, but moreso as a poetry reading or art museum cologne.

One of my favorites! Very intricate. Double Black smells classic but with a modern twist. It is very warm and slightly heavy. Great for an evening in the fall or winter.

i like how this is a fresh oriental, great to replace the citrus scents and smells nothin like the other Polos

I like it. It´s very sweet/fruity and spicy at the same time, the coffee note smells delicious and its lasting power it´s unbelievable. I believe the Polo line has done a great job clearing the paradigm that says that all American perfumes smell cheap.

Ralph Lauren = Class.

addictive, sexy and versatile.. oriented to wear at evening, the spicy vibe make it heavy for day time, but is a really nice fruity-woody fragance.

great choice, u wont be wrong with this.

Love this classic scent with a modern twist: Mango in a man's perfume, "hello"! Just brilliant for a non-in-your-face everyday scent. Smelled it first when I flew to LA, so it will always remind me of my glamorous time in LA. It smells indeed black but it is a wooden floral fruity peppery scent. Very understated, classy, yet young in attitude. This would be Ralph Lauren's smell in a bottle and I agree with the other review that it is equally well worn with a suit and tie or a pair of jeans and jumper/ sweater. Re-apply generously!

Polo Double Black is a lovely scent in terms of concept, construction and package and I really liked it when I tried it. I thought that this fragrance would 'burn' for ages like Santos or John Varvatos. However, and I agree with many reviewers, unlike Polo Black; Polo, and Safari, there's no staying power with this fragrance and, for once with Ralph Lauren, I've been left underwhelmed and disappointed.

For me and a lot of people i know think of this as another cologne out there.its good,Hate the pepper,but i like the base notes,but the base notes to me are getting annoying.

I absolutely love this fragrance! The only gripe I have with it is that the VERY addictive top notes disappear far too quickly. And thereafter the scent disappears within 3 hours, at least on me.

I don't lose on many blind purchases, but this one is pretty bad. The sillage is even weaker than Polo Blue and the only scent I get from it is a lightly perfumed B O. That's all I can get from this one, under-arm sweat with a sweet-ish cologne note that is indistinguishable because it is too weak. I don't get any fruit, spice, or coffee, just B O. I can't say it reeks because it's not strong enough to project it's stink, I have to get really close to it to smell anything at all. I will throw my bottle out, not give it away, because I wouldn't want anyone around me to smell like Polo Double Black. It's one of the worst I have.

My husband have tried this one, and it smells amazing on him. A must-buy.

It sure is masculine. Dark, enigmatic, and long-lasting from the first spray. My boyfriend loves it!
