Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Polo Cologne Intense
Polo Cologne Intense aims for a modern take on a classic, but this flanker gets a mixed bag of reactions. Some laud its fresh, green revitalisation, while others dismiss it as a diluted, generic scent that barely lives up to the 'intense' in its name. Expect a clean but fleeting experience.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Undergrowth 2020 Edition
A love-it-or-hate-it scent that perfectly captures an earthy, damp garden. If you're after a truly photorealistic experience of mint pulled from wet soil, this is your jam. Some find it a bit too raw, too fleeting, but for others, it's an utterly unique triumph.

Season and Occasion Fit

Polo Cologne Intense

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

This fragrance is well-suited for casual wear, office environments, and even light sporting activities due to its fresh, clean, and inoffensive profile. Its moderate projection and sometimes weak longevity mean it's less ideal for formal events or dates where a more impactful scent is often desired.

Undergrowth 2020 Edition

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Autumn

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate projection and natural freshness make it suitable for casual wear and even office environments where an 'outdoorsy' scent is appreciated. It's too unique and potentially polarising for formal events, and its green, earthy profile makes it a good fit for active, outdoor pursuits.
