What does Polo Red Rush smell like?

The top pairs pineapple, grapefruit, lemon and red mandarin orange for a zesty start. The heart holds orange blossom, red apple, saffron, lavender and spearmint, where the floral and aquatic sides come through. Cedarwood, musk and coffee in the base soften and settle the scent.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, though the number of votes is small, so treat that as a rough guide. Its fresh character suits everyday wear. Evorest № 620 and The Dua Brand Amalfi Mandarin have a close profile.
