Ralph Lauren Polo Double Black is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2006, created by Ellen Molner. Polo Double Black opens with Pepper and Mango, settles into a heart of Nutmeg and Coffee, and dries down to a base of Woody, Cardamom, and Juniper. Ralph Lauren's Polo Double Black carries a Favourite verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

A truly gorgeous scent that has been tragically let down by woeful performance. If only Polo Double Black delivered on its promise, it would be a certified legend, but prepare to reapply, and then reapply again. The mango-coffee-pepper combo is legitimately divine though, and still worth indulging in.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its intimate projection makes it suitable for office wear, but the seductive spiced mango and coffee notes lean heavily towards date nights. The poor longevity means it's best for shorter casual outings or situations where frequent reapplication is possible rather than high-stakes formal events or sports.

About

Polo Double Black opens with an unusual but captivating blend of juicy mango and sharp pepper, quickly introducing a warm, spiced heart of nutmeg and dark, roasted coffee. The dry down settles into a woody embrace, with hints of resinous juniper and aromatic cardamom, adding a sophisticated depth that clings close to the skin.
