Polo

Ralph Lauren · Eau de Toilette (EDT) · 1978

≈ $80 · 118ml · approx. retail

A bold green-chypre landmark that opens on bitter herbs, pine, and crisp spice before settling into a smoky bed of leather, tobacco, and damp oakmoss. Rich, resinous, and unmistakably retro, it wears like a wood-paneled study—mature, confident, and built for cooler weather.
