Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Polo Red Eau de Toilette
Polo Red is a bold, crowd-pleasing fusion of juicy cranberry, zesty citrus, and warm coffee-amber. Playful yet assertive, it’s an energetic scent that turns heads without overwhelming the room.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Cuba Prestige Eau de Parfum
Divisive, cheap as chips, and punching way above its price point. It's either an absolute bargain dupe of A*Men or an unwearable chemical monstrosity. You'll either love it or hate it, but for a tenner, you can afford the gamble.

Season and Occasion Fit

Polo Red Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Crisp cranberry and citrus make this lively for spring, while the warm amber, saffron and coffee add depth perfect for fall chill. Its warm spicy-fruity blend is energetic enough for mild winter days but may be too rich for hot summer weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

With moderate projection and a vibrant, inviting profile, it's versatile for casual wear, dates, and the office. Its fruity punch and warmth are less suited for formal or athletic situations.

Cuba Prestige Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong, sweet, and occasionally harsh character makes it ill-suited for the office or formal events and certainly not for sport. However, many find its gourmand warmth perfect for casual wear, particularly in cooler weather, and several reviews highlight its appeal on date nights.
