The Scent: Notes, Structure & Dry-Down

Polo Blue Parfum opens with Mandarin Orange, Pink Pepper and Cardamom — an assertive first impression that carries across a room. As the opening settles, the composition pivots to its heart of Lavender, Clary Sage, Jasmine and Vetiver. What lingers on skin and clothing hours later is the base: Oakwood, Olibanum and Patchouli.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Aromatic, Woody, Warm Spicy, Citrus, Amber — easy to place and easy to wear.
