Polo Red

Ralph Lauren · Eau de Toilette (EDT) · 2013

≈ $78 · 125ml · approx. retail

A punchy, energetic woody-spicy scent that bursts open with red grapefruit, tart cranberry, and bright lemon. The spicy sage-and-saffron heart slides into a warm, slightly sweet drydown of amber, redwood, and roasted coffee, giving it a bold, club-ready presence.
