Polo Blue Gold Blend Across Five Climate Zones

Of the five climate zones we score, Polo Blue Gold Blend does best in warm & dry (Lahore, Los Angeles) at 8/10 — it keeps its shape there instead of turning sharp or fading fast.

Its enhanced depth and warmth from spices and amber make it more versatile than the original in cooler western climates, while still shining in mild humidity.

That result traces back to the composition: Vetiver, Patchouli and Amber are materials that hold their shape as the temperature climbs, rather than thinning out.
