Description

Ralph Lauren Polo Sport Eau de Toilette is an iconic scent that helped define the sporty-fresh genre of the 1990s. Bright, aquatic, and masculine, it captures the spirit of active lifestyles and clean confidence. Designed for men who thrive on movement and clarity, Polo Sport remains a timeless staple for everyday freshness.

The fragrance opens with a burst of aldrhydeic citrus and mint, accented by notes of lemon, mandarin orange, and sea breeze. This top layer feels like a fresh shower after a long workout—clean, brisk, and energizing. There’s also a subtle synthetic sparkle from aldehydes that gives it that instantly recognizable 90s brightness.

The heart introduces a subtle blend of floral and herbal notes—including ginger, lavender, cyclamen, and geranium—that provide aromatic structure without leaning too soft or powdery. These middle notes help keep the scent interesting as it transitions into the dry-down.

In the base, musk, sandalwood, and amber create a light but comforting finish. It’s not heavy or resinous—just enough warmth to balance the freshness and add some skin-hugging longevity. The musk used here leans clean, not animalic.

Polo Sport isn’t trying to be mysterious or seductive—it’s direct, optimistic, and dependable. It’s for the guy who’s up early, hitting the gym, staying productive, and keeping things sharp and simple.

The longevity is moderate—expect 4–6 hours of wear with noticeable projection in the first two hours. It’s the kind of scent you can easily reapply without overwhelming anyone around you.

Packaging reflects the fragrance’s sporty ethos: a sleek cobalt blue bottle with bold white text and an American flag—iconic and instantly recognizable.
