About

Polo Green Eau de Toilette by Ralph Lauren is a rugged, unmistakable classic that opens with a bracing rush of juniper and basil, quickly plunging into a forested heart of pine, tobacco and leather. Its base is a mossy, earthy powerhouse, anchored by oakmoss, patchouli and vetiver, backed by smoky tobacco and a hint of animalic leather. Deeply green, aromatic and assertively masculine, it stands as an enduring icon of American perfumery, best suited for those who appreciate its unapologetically bold and traditional character.
