What does Polo Red Parfum smell like?
Most voters recommend it for autumn and spring, some pick winter, and summer trails far behind. Leisure and daily wear lead, with evening and office close behind. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters read it as masculine.
It opens with blood orange, pink pepper and bergamot, bright and lightly spicy. Lavender, absinth and orris root form the heart, and opoponax, musk and cedarwood close it. The fresh, fruity side softens into something sweeter and woodier. Dunhill Icon Racing and Lacoste Pour Homme share a close profile.
