Okay, so I’ve been meaning to tell you guys about this fragrance I’ve been trying out – Polo Sport by Ralph Lauren. I heard some buzz about it being a classic, you know, a real 90s scent, and since I’m a bit of a fragrance fanatic, I just had to give it a try.
First off, I started by doing some basic research online. I read a few articles, watched a couple of reviews, and from what I gathered, it is an “Aromatic Green fragrance,” whatever that means. The reviews mentioned it was released way back in 1994, and the guy behind it is apparently named Harry Fremont. And the fragrance smells like Mint, Aldehydes.
So, armed with that knowledge, I finally bought it online. When it arrived, I was pretty excited to crack it open. I’m not gonna lie, the bottle is pretty standard, nothing too fancy. But hey, it’s what’s inside that counts, right?
The first spray, whoa, it hit me with this super fresh, almost minty smell. It’s definitely got that sporty vibe going on. I also picked up some kind of citrusy notes, maybe some mandarin or something, and a bit of lavender. It’s like a mix of a sports fragrance with some freshness from the mint and the aldehydes. It’s interesting, I’ll give it that.
I wore it throughout the day a few times, to the office, to the gym, and even just running errands. I wanted to see how it performed in different situations. It lasts a decent amount of time, maybe like 4-6 hours, but I wouldn’t say it’s a beast mode fragrance or anything. After a few hours, it definitely starts to become more subtle, but it’s still there if you get close enough. It also changes as time goes by, becoming less intense and less fresh.
Now, the reactions I got were mixed. Some people really liked it, said it smelled clean and fresh. Others weren’t as impressed, said it smelled a bit dated, like something their dad used to wear. I guess it’s just one of those scents that people either love or hate.
- Pros: It’s definitely fresh, it’s pretty affordable, and it’s got a classic feel to it. A good everyday scent.
- Cons: It’s not the most unique fragrance out there, and it might not be for everyone. Plus, it doesn’t last forever.
Final Thoughts
So, would I recommend Polo Sport? Yeah, I think so. It’s a solid choice if you’re looking for something fresh and easy to wear. It’s not going to blow anyone away, but it’s a good, dependable fragrance. Plus, the price is pretty good for the quality you’re getting. If you like those classic 90s scents, or you just want something refreshing for the gym or everyday wear, then it is worth a try. If you’re after something really unique or long-lasting, then maybe you will look elsewhere.
