Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Polo Blue Eau de Toilette opens with an exhilarating rush of juicy melon and crisp cucumber, brightened by a twist of mandarin orange. The heart brings aromatic basil, sage, and a hint of floral geranium, adding a green, subtly spicy edge. As it dries down, soft suede and earthy patchouli blend with a clean musk and gentle woods, creating a smooth, versatile base. The overall effect is airy, aquatic, and unmistakably modern-evoking sunlit sails, open skies, and the relaxed confidence of classic American style.
