What does Polo Red Extreme smell like?
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evenings and nights out lead, with leisure and daily wear further behind. It mostly reads masculine, with a modern side as well.
A citrusy, fruity brightness sits on a sweet, gourmand base. Coffee softens the sharp edge of the blood orange, while ebony adds a spicy, woody and creamy depth. The whole stays on a warm, sweet line.
