About This Perfume
Think smoky oud and resinous cinnamon, leathery spice: that is Ralph Lauren Polo Oud. It opens with pink pepper and clary sage absolute, moves into cinnamon, rose absolute and orange blossom absolute and settles on Oud, gaiac wood and frankincense resin. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. Reach for it for casual days. Released in 2023.
Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and sweet for casual days.
- Sample first if: woody is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike spicy fragrances.
Around $148.

The Brand
Ralph Lauren
Ralph Lauren is an American designer house whose fragrance line has been anchored by the Polo lineage since 1978, when Polo Green launched. The catalogue holds 81 Ralph Lauren perfumes at about $17 to $477. Three names stand out in the community data: Ralph Lauren Polo, Ralph Lauren Romance and Ralph Lauren Polo 67. Ralph's Club is the current-decade line, while Polo, Polo Blue and Polo Red remain the legacy anchors.
What the picks smell like
Ralph Lauren Polo (1978) reads as green herbs and leather with tobacco smoke and cedar, opening on juniper berry and basil and drying down to oakmoss, tobacco and cedar. Ralph Lauren Romance (Eau de Parfum, 1998) opens with rose and chamomile and ends on musk, exotic woods and oakmoss; overall it reads as fresh rose and lily powder, lightly sweet. For Ralph Lauren Polo 67 (Eau de Toilette, 2024), expect juicy pineapple citrus with a crisp pine-green herbal edge: pineapple and bergamot up top, vetiver, patchouli and goldenrod underneath.
