Ralph Lauren 2015 EDP
Polo Red Intense
Ralph Lauren Polo Red Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Olivier Gillotin. Polo Red Intense opens with Lemon, Grapefruit, Saffron, and Cranberry, settles into a heart of Lavender, Ginger, Coffee, and Sage, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, and Juniper. Ralph Lauren's Polo Red Intense carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.
Polo Red Intense is a tantalising cranberry-coffee bomb with a serious identity crisis. Some swear by its beast mode longevity, others call it a phantom. Discontinued, loved by many, loathed by a few - it's a sweet, fruity enigma wrapped in a bold red bottle.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
Its sweet and sometimes powerful projection makes it less ideal for the office, but its playful and warm character is perfect for dates and casual outings, especially during cooler seasons. It leans too informal for true formal wear, and not fresh enough for sport.
