Mallet Vert For Men EDP

Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a boozy, spicy plum-leather dream; for others, a cloying mess akin to 'firewater in a hot car with leather seats'. Definitely not a blind buy.
Mallet Vert chases Ralph Lauren's old-school Polo Green - that grassy pine, oakmoss-and-leather chypre - and gets damn close per the community. It captures the mossy, masculine forest character, though the pine sharpens and the refined oakmoss-leather drydown thins out compared with the 1978 original.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its strong projection and rich, boozy-leather profile make it too intense for the office. It's a fantastic choice for dates and formal events, though, where its sensual and sophisticated character can shine. It's a bit much for casual wear, except perhaps in very cold weather.
Seasons
The green, mossy, woody character suits cooler months and transitional spring; high summer flattens its herbal-leather depth.
Occasions
A classic masculine chypre that fits office, formal and evening wear; too assertive and dated-smelling for sport.
