Polo Green by Ralph Lauren, a woody chypre fragrance crafted by Carlos Benaïm, was launched in 1978. This was a time when fragrances were evolving from the heavy, musky scents of the 60s to the more complex and versatile fragrances of the 80s. Polo Green, with its fresh opening, complex heart, and warm, earthy base, was a trailblazer in this transition. It opens with fresh notes of juniper berries, basil, artemisia, caraway, coriander, and bergamot. The heart blends pine tree needles, leather, chamomile, pepper, carnation, geranium, jasmine, and rose. The base features rich tobacco, oakmoss, patchouli, cedar, vetiver, musk, and amber, creating a timeless scent for men.
