Polo Sport Ralph Lauren for men

Fresh Very Fresh... It makes me feel very fresh... The smell is something different for me. I love this. It could make girls go crazy. When ever i wear i get complements from all girls. Girls do like it. some says its not good, But i say its one of my Best fragrance in the world. Projection rocks. Stays on me for 4 to 6 hrs. Jus 4 sprays will do the magic. Try It

Harry Fremont's resume certainly needs no introduction; the man who a year later dropped the tremendously successful CK One on the masses, was already well ahead of the curve on the aquatic revolution when he came up with Polo Sport. The vintage version of Polo Sport is thick with seaweed throughout, with a nice touch of citrus and mint in the opening before completely giving way to the dominant seaweed note for the rest of the dry-down.
The modern release has been touched up a bit and the seaweed elements have been toned down to emphasize more of the musk, lavender and floral middles.
The original certainly shocks and disorients the uninitiated because it is so different from the standard sport fragrance. The opening is very think with seaweed and cloying citrus, but after a few moments the ginger and a range of floral notes creep into the seaweed and create a spicier, less projecting dry-down. Ultimately it is a losing battle as most of the other elements don't seem to be able to assert themselves over the heavy dose of seaweed.
Works well with natural skin chemistry, producing a warm and organic scent that wears close to the skin and maintains an aura of natural freshness without insinuating a very synthetic feel. Given the "sport" monicker more for packaging and marketing than anything else, this is very versatile for any casual or work event and is flexible to any season or circumstance, minus something formal. Captures the essence of a day spent at the beach very well. Resonates strongly with those who have spent an early, misty morning on a Northern Californian or Southern Oregonian pacific shore. This is one of the best souvenirs one can pick up to bring back images of the colder beaches of the northern California coast, wealthy in sea-life and seaweed along its banks.
Projection and silage are fairly average, with longevity a bit of an issue, usually under 4-5 hours and wearing very close to the skin. Still, if you can appreciate more organic scents like seaweed, this is an incredibly original and unique extension of using organic and synthetic notes to create the impression of oceanic bliss.
Polo Sport is very unique for its time, most likely more than a little inspired by the success of Nautica the year before and the influx of newer, trendier Polo inspired fashion houses taking a large portion of the 20 something crowd. The packaging itself reflects a time when the Ralph Lauren name was more vulnerable and less self-assured, trying to modernize with a new logo (containing an American flag, right after the fall of Eastern Europe, ironically) to go with its new jeans line. This was an attempt to break from its illustrious past and more emphatically, the Baby Boomer generation and make Polo more accessible to a new generation who had started to spurn it in favor of more trendy fashion companies. Polo Sport was Ralph Lauren's deliberate attempt to capture Generation X.
Not refined for formal wear, but a fantastic, casual alternative to the plethora of synthetics on the market, Sport is original, organic and oceanic, like driving along Pacific 1 Highway with the top down on a September morning. A best seller largely because of the Polo name, but this will not disappoint.
The Pacific Ocean in a bottle.

I read all the other reviews and agree with all of them.... This is a very nice fragrance that can be applied througout the day or evening as it is not overwhelming. And yes it does not have a longevity of more than 5 hours. However, you have to remind yourself that the price is not over the top either. For me there is also some high school memories connected and I suppose thats one big reason why I have it. Nice cute bottle thou...

Long time from when i used it for the first time...good memories!

masculine and fresh, i stole this from my brother :P

Fresh, masculine, energizing.
Definitely made for everyday use in spring or autumn

Great smelling and fresh. Brings back great memories
when I wear it.

not manly enought

i like this fragrance a lot and the first time i wore it i was amazed how good it smelt on me. the smell to me is quite unique and very laid back like. definitely one to have on the shelves

Nothing special, cheap smelling.
Do not waste your money

Rousing and flirty, put it on strong for the clubs, light for the gym or out in public—this scent catches people in the nose and will easily get you noticed. Sure, it was a trend cologne with young men back in the 90's, however a decade has past and I'd be willing to bet you could surprise a new generation with it. I honestly love wearing this cologne STRONG when going out. It'll boost any man's machismo by ten guaranteed.

I never knew too much about Polo fragrances but when I saw this at Marshalls for $25 for a 4.2 oz bottle, I thought, why not get it, it's a good deal. I was expecting something to blow me out of this world since everyone I've ever known has put this on a pedestal but unfortunatley, that wasn't the case.

At first, I thought it smelled odd? The seaweed note and citrus notes threw me off and there was something about it that smelled dirty, almost like salty, bitter sweat. I know, it sounds weird but I really got that vibe from it! I hated it at first but after wearing it a few more times after that, I must say it grew on me. I actually love the seaweed note in it now and the salty, bitter sweat vibe I used to get from it is no longer there.

The aquatic feel to this fragrance is actually very well done and although very synthetic, the combination of citrus, florals, woods, and musk give it a type of character that truly captures the idea of a fresh water ocean, something that I've yet to smell with any other sport fragrance. It's semi-sweet yet green, but has this animalic aura to it but musk tends to do that, and the aldehydes give it a clean, very fresh touch that might even give of the impression of laundry detergent. This fragrance is excellent if you want something different from all the usual aquatic/sport colognes for men out there. I can't imagine why this wasn't so groundbreaking when it first arrived on the scene back in the early 90's.

I just imagine myself running on a beach on a warm, sunny day, when all the sudden, a light breeze picks up and freshens the air while it wafts the smell of the deep blue sea all throughout . It's a scent that's great for spring/summer. Its sillage and longevity is fantastic, and uniqueness is a most definite A+! The one thing that this fragrance lacks is in its versatility, but not by much. I wouldn't recommend wearing this in a suit and tie or in any formal attire like one can with most other sport frags (Allure Sport, Dior Sport) because it lacks that "sophistication" factor, but if you're the casual type of guy in a t-shirt and jeans or shorts, this is perfect!

I remember loving to smell this on the boys that I walked the school hallways with:)

Longevity very bad. Nothing special, orange citrus smells from beginning to end.

Polo Sport was made to day by day,not for a special occasion,simple as that.

I doñ´t know how to describe it, but I´ll try to:

Very fresh, citric and bright opening, showing little sweetness..... It´s a classic sexy scent..... very very sexy... Just for instance, women around just go crazy and start stripping immediately, taking their blouses out and , you know
...
The middle notes a basenotes are more woody and fresh, indeed, the perfume my friend, smells great.

I´ve been using this perfume on special days, mainly for outdoor events.

I see 20-something year-old men using this. Although I´m 33, I feel like getting 2 years younger after each spray of it.

It´s great and rich fragrance, but for Christ´s sake if you´re 60, show some respect and go get something more adequate and appropriate for you. Forget it!!!

Still, the fragrance has serious issues on lasting power, ít won´t take more than 2 hours to vanishes from your skin.

Bottle: 8/10
Scent: 9/10
Lasting power: 5/10
Sillage: 5/10
Projection: 8/10
Scattolini´s X-factor: 10/10 (believe me) =)

The best men's cologne of all time!
But, of course, it is not perfect.
It's only weakness: Doesn't last long. 4 to 5 hours and it's gone.

My technique with this scent is to avoid the sharp top notes...I usually do spray 2 in each underarm (in your shirt). With this, longevity is improved and expect middle notes to dominate...smells good at night, if you do what i said..

Sweet freshness
Pretty nice. It reminds me Davidoff Cool water. It have a similar vibe to it. I guess it's the sweet blue freshness with the old school feel.
Good 90's scent

wow look at all the notes break down here. I don't pick any of these. To my opinion it has a linear scent which makes it very boring. It is a fresh scent, and has a synthetic part to it, but the synthetic part doesn't bother. Overall it is a pleasant scent, but boring. Good for days and summer, but I would use something better in summer days.

Really good fragrance, but for $40 you can get much better fragrances. Too expensive for what it is. I recommend Touch by Black Suede as an alternative

I remember this perfume and I like it a lot. I don't remember when but I recall that I loved the smell and I going to look it up again and see if I still like it :)

I got this when I was sixteen and it was the bomb then. Now, I'm thinking "Dang, I really wasn't in to subtlety, was I?" I mean I wear strong now but that camphoric character just takes strong to a whole new level. For women, I've noticed it's 50/50: some are put off by the strength and some just love it. I've moved away from it though. Good for when you still have assigned seating, but afterwards it's time to graduate. I will say this though: this is THE original fresh cologne and a great place to start.

another common,cheap lotion

I use the polo sport fragrance at my 16 years old their style to me is the best. very spicy and fruity perfect for any moment you would not go unnoticed.

nie rozwodząc się powiem tyle - zajebisty zapach..

This was one of the very first scents I acquired, after I decided I wanted to wear more than just one or two. I was looking for something different than what everyone else was wearing at the time and found it! This is still one of my favorites and utterly Ralph Lauren...

An opening of bright greens and citruses with a slight underlying florals greets you right out of the sprayer. This one mists fine and covers evenly and feels almost water based on the skin. It has a very tonic feel to me. As it dries the ginger's sharpness and seaweed's slightly sour smell mixes with the flowers and top notes to become a warm watery haze of inviting freshness. This finishes strongly woody with a heavy musk and very marine-like ambergris scent and not the golden fossilised resin of most scents.

This is reminiscient of sweat and salty breezes and sunny warmth of a beach volleyball game, intense but not unpleasant. This is the intensity of activity and the beauty in sports without the clean, soapy feel of most 'sport' scents. This is aromatic, manly and elegant all at once. It is the strength, beauty and power of Man, and makes no excuses or tries to be something it is not...It's Polo, it's Sport and it's magnificent!!

Sillage: very good
Longevity: above average
Overall: 4.5/5

This fragrance does indeed remind one of outdoor activity and radiates a warmth and freshness not found in many other scents. It is not just for jocks though, it could easily be worn on a casual day trip or even in the spring or fall.

Despite the cobalt colored bottle, this is NOT your typical "blue" fragrance...nor is it your usual sport scent. This has warmth, prescence, greens and yet it has subtle florals and smooth woods along with spices and fruits, yet it is none of these things individually-like a well-rounded man, it is made up of many qualities and attributes and stands out from those around him-iconic yet familiar...

I like Polo Sport very much but I don't think it is any kind of masterpiece. It is a dry, less sweet, less loud Cool Water variation. Smells a little like grape juice.

It is a masterpiece dedicated to young and active men. This EDT has a fresh synthetic aperture and energized. Middle notes that develop in spicy, like a leaf green algae, green wood and green, with base notes highlighting a green-woody character that remains fresh and appealing.

The aroma of this EDT believe surpasses its name, not only because I think is smart for sport, is stylish for almost any occasion. In advance is a fragrance for men only dynamic, which can project leadership and elegance with this fragrance.

The aroma is perfect for office use, mainly because projected leadership and energized by their environment mixed with spicy greens. It is manly in its tones of wood, in this aspect can be used as a fragrance for romantic use, being male, strong and dynamic.

Just almost perfect. It lasts up to 14 hrs on my skin, and age range is universal, requires only one real way to be dynamic.

that's the legand.... i'd used this fragnance during i was at high school... and i did not forget it. this is the best choice, if you feel yourself already young...

very masculine classic scent, among the three best of ralph lauren. makes you feel mature. Very good job and a must have!!

Polo sport sets up a clear scenery for the word "aquatic", IMHO. It can be used on an everyday basis and makes you feel so refreshed throughout the day.

Amber in this juice is very minimal and that does not amaze me as I really find it non-sweet. Indeed, it is really masculine.

All in all. 10/10 for me.

Nice fresh scent, great classic. Perfect for day time use in summer spring. Still caries a high price for its age but can be worth it. I recommend buying if bored but there is better out there. Spray too much and it gets a soapy smell.

Polo Sport launched in 1994, Animale for Men launched in 1993!!! For me Polo Sport is very similar to Animale for Men.
Well, I like both :)

Has some of Polo's piney element, but mixed with that watery "blue" kind of scent that comes with most sport colognes. Better than regular Polo, but why bother with this? Why not just use Gillette deodorant and call it a day?

Very good reviews here and there, full of stars on "Perfumes - The Guide", and my disappointment was just bigger than all my expectations. I don't know how I would felt about it back on 1993, but today I find it silly; not just cheap, but silly. Something that would fit better on a teenager than on a 30 years old man, for example. Yes, my fault: I was expecting a more austere scent, instead of this happy sweet one. But I recognize that it can be a compliment getter. For a sport scent, I surely prefer the Tommy Hilfiger frag.

I LOVE this stuff, seriously it does something to me:)When I was nineteen I worked in a department store, one day I was bored and smelled EVERY cologne we had. Nothing even touched this stuff, it is the perfect masculine smell, a classic. I could not even begin to describe the notes for you, I cannot even distinguish them, it is just a perfect man smell. I still think it is the #1 cologne and a lot of the colognes that have come out in the last few years do not hold a candle to this, they have this weird feminine thing to them. Polo Sport is manly, masculine and sexy!

the best of the polos it really kicks cool waters ass and has a real edge to it and a great smell that lots of people find sexy and some call a natural aphrodesiac

i gotto say that this is the best of the polos and definately a HOT BUY i got beverly hills polo club (same scent diffrent name) and its a perfect scent to wear anytime

it was good but did not last long..........

I used this a lot many years ago. It a great fresh fragrance but it was short lived on me. Perfect for day or evening use.

During the beginning it's strong, powerful, & fresh at the same time. I'm not sure how long it lasts. but it's a nice fragrance

Another keeper. Fresh and simple. Smells very young and energizing.

a classic fragrance. like it very much it was my first cologne. great notes and refreshing like no other. polo sport rocks. great long lasting power and 100% american!!

Ahh my highschool sweetheart wore this in highschool. Clean, sexy,lots of citrus and cedar. Great first cologne for a young guy.

a little outdated but still a good option if you look for a light and refreshingscent for spring and summer. the opening notes refersh and uplift you. the base notes make you feel charismatic with a quality woody drydown.

The (ultimate) quintessential classy-attractive men's fragrance.

A must have for the serious and sincere scent lover and collector.

I once bought this for my ex boyfriend and I remember it smelling very good. Very masculine and sexy but powerful at the same time.

For me it's my default fragrance, this fragrance define me :D Love it! I'm using other fragrances for different occasions... but this one it's my daily fragrance! This one gives u personality!

[*****-] Classic, timeless scent that still has far more personality than most other citrus scents for men. Soapy clean, crisp, sporty. Perfect for everyday or summertime use, not particularly suited for night time. Reasonably long lasting. Also, first-class design in a world of unimaginative fragrances for men packaging.
