What does Polo Crest (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The opening is led by rosemary, basil, tarragon and bergamot, with juniper berry adding a cool edge to that green, citrusy start. In the heart, caraway, pine and rose bring a spicy, resinous feel. The base of patchouli, leather and oakmoss sets an earthy, woody floor; the overall impression is dry, green and serious.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though some wear it in every season. It moves from daily use to business and evening settings and reads clearly masculine. Ralph Lauren Polo and Rochas Macassar have a close profile.
