Ralph Lauren built this Eau de Parfum concentration of Polo Red Cologne around intensified energy, ginger, cranberry, and pink grapefruit arriving bright and immediately fruity from the very first opening spray of the day. Clary sage, lavender, and labdanum widen that brightness into warm, resinous middle territory that keeps developing steadily for many long hours as the whole composition continues to wear on. Benzoin, opoponax, cedar, musk, and guaiac wood ground the entire dry down in a dense, resinous richness with remarkable staying power through an entire long evening.
It suits formal occasions and evening wear especially well, richer and more intense than the original Eau de Toilette. Red suits it quite honestly, warmer and more assertive throughout the entire long evening's wear.
