Polo Oud

Ralph Lauren Polo Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Polo Oud opens with Clary Sage and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Cinnamon, Orange, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, Guaiac Wood, and Incense. Ralph Lauren's Polo Oud carries a Statement verdict, a oud-led wear.

Polo Oud is a surprisingly accessible and wearable take on oud, though it's certainly not for everyone. While some find it dark and elegant, others sniff out a 'rusty iron' and 'fecal' scent. It's a proper grown-up scent, best left to the discerning gentlemen.

This is definitely a cold-weather fragrance as it's rich and can be quite polarising for the first few hours. It’s perfect for formal events and dates, lending an elegant, refined touch without being overly loud.

About

Polo Oud opens with a sharp, peppery kick of pink pepper and clary sage, quickly softening into a heart of subtle rose, spiced cinnamon, and a hint of orange. The true star, oud, emerges smoothly, balanced by earthy vetiver and patchouli, smoky guaiac wood, and a whisper of incense. This is a dark, smooth, and woody affair, without any of the jarring animalic notes that can sometimes accompany oud.
