Ralph Lauren Polo Explorer is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007, created by Harry Frémont and Honorine Blanc. Polo Explorer opens with Bergamot and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Leather and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, and Mahogany. Ralph Lauren's Polo Explorer carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

A tragically discontinued gem, Polo Explorer is either revered as a unique woody-leather masterpiece or dismissed for its fleeting performance. It's divisive, but those who love it, really, really love it.

About

Polo Explorer kicks off with a zesty splash of mandarin and bergamot, a bright counterpoint to the rich, earthy core. Soon, a rugged leather accord emerges, spiced with coriander, giving it a distinctly masculine edge. The dry down is a warm embrace of mahogany, sandalwood, and amber, conjuring images of dusty libraries and sun-drenched expeditions. Despite its brief run, it's a scent that leaves a lasting impression.
