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

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.
