Okay, so the other day I was thinking about trying out a new cologne. I’ve been wearing the same old stuff for years, and I figured it was time for a change. A buddy of mine mentioned Ralph Lauren Sport, said it was pretty decent. So, I thought, why not give it a shot?
First thing I did was look it up online. Apparently, it’s been around since the 90s, but they’ve got this newer version called Polo Sport Fresh that came out in 2021. It’s supposed to be all “aromatic aquatic,” whatever that means. Sounded kind of fancy, but I was mostly curious about how it smelled. I saw somewhere that it has mint and mandarin notes which sounded good. I like fresh scents.
Next, I went down to the local department store to see if they had it. Found the Ralph Lauren section, and sure enough, there it was. They had both the original Polo Sport and the new Polo Sport Fresh. I sprayed a bit of each on those little paper strips they have. The original one was okay, kind of classic, but the Fresh version really caught my attention. It was, well, fresher! A bit more modern, I guess. It smelled clean and not too overpowering.

I decided to get a small bottle of the Polo Sport Fresh. I figured I’d wear it around for a few days and see how I liked it. I sprayed some on before heading to work. The first thing I noticed was that it wasn’t too strong. I hate those colognes that you can smell from a mile away. This one was more subtle, which I liked. I could smell the mint and a little bit of the mandarin.
Throughout the day, I caught whiffs of it here and there. It was a nice, clean scent that lasted a good while. I even got a couple of compliments, which is always a plus. One of my coworkers said I smelled “sporty,” which I guess is fitting. It did make me feel a bit more put together, you know? Like I had my act together.
I’ve been wearing it for a few days now, and I’m really digging it. It’s a great everyday cologne. It’s not too fancy for work, but it’s also nice enough to wear out on the weekends. It’s just a good, all-around scent.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I’m glad I tried Ralph Lauren Polo Sport Fresh. It’s a solid choice if you’re looking for a new cologne that’s fresh, clean, and not too overpowering. It’s definitely going to be my go-to for a while. And hey, if you are a fan of Ralph Lauren, you might want to check this out. They’ve been making fragrances since 1978 it seems.
