Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Polo Green EDT
Polo Green is a legendary powerhouse - a forest in a bottle, projecting confidence and old-school masculinity with its dense blend of pine, leather, tobacco and moss.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Mallet Vert For Men EDP
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

Polo Green

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

The strong green, woody and mossy profile is ideal for brisk spring and earthy autumn days, while its leathery-tobacco richness holds up well in winter. It can overwhelm in hot summer weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Date Casual

Its bold, classic masculinity and assertive projection suit formal occasions and confident casual wear, but the intensity can be too much for modern offices or sporty settings.

Mallet Vert For Men

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

The green, mossy, woody character suits cooler months and transitional spring; high summer flattens its herbal-leather depth.

Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Office Date Casual

A classic masculine chypre that fits office, formal and evening wear; too assertive and dated-smelling for sport.
