Ralph Lauren Polo Cologne Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. Polo Cologne Intense opens with Grapefruit, Basil, and Mint, settles into a heart of Violet Leaf, Clary Sage, and Thyme, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, and Ambroxan. Ralph Lauren's Polo Cologne Intense carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

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.

About

Opening with a zesty burst of grapefruit and invigorating mint, softened by aromatic basil. The heart unfolds into a green, herbaceous blend of violet leaf, clary sage, and thyme, lending a subtle earthiness. The dry down is anchored by a clean, woody vetiver and patchouli, with a contemporary touch of ambroxan. It's a fresh, green scent that leans into a modern barbershop style with a brisk, clean feel throughout.
