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

Citrus and cranberry lead the top, then lavender, red sage and saffron bring a spicy touch to the heart. In the base, coffee berry, amber and red woods sweeten the scent and settle it into a woody, gourmand finish.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with evenings also common. It reads as masculine and modern. Ralph Lauren Polo Red Intense and Rabanne Invictus Victory have a close profile.
