Ralph Lauren Polo colognes compared: Blue, Black, Red, and Green

The Polo name covers several different scents. Blue, Black, Red, and Green are all available here as Eau de Toilette, but their note lists point in different directions. Start with the notes you already enjoy: melon and cucumber, mango and woods, tart fruit and spice, or pine and leather.

Polo Blue: melon, cucumber, and suede

Polo Blue Eau de Toilette lists cantaloupe melon, cucumber, and bergamot at the top. Clary sage, geranium, basil, and verbena form its herbal middle, while washed suede, patchouli, and sheer musk make up the base. Pick this one if the fresh fruit and herbal notes appeal more than vanilla, tobacco, or warm spice.

Polo Black: mango, tonka, and cedar

Polo Black Eau de Toilette starts with iced mango, mandarin, lemon, and cardamom. The heart includes ozone, jasmine, silver armoise, and sage; the base includes tonka bean, patchouli, cedarwood, and moss. Compared with Blue, the mango opening and tonka base are the main details to consider.

Polo Red: cranberry, saffron, and coffee berry

Polo Red Eau de Toilette lists red grapefruit, cedrat, cranberry, and lemon in its opening. Red saffron, lavandin, and clary sage follow, with redwood, ambery woods, and coffee berry underneath. It is the option to examine if you prefer tart fruit paired with spice and warm woods.

Polo Green: pine, leather, and oakmoss

Polo Green Eau de Toilette combines pine, thyme, and basil with leather, tobacco leaf, and tarragon. Patchouli, oakmoss, and incense form the base. Its listed notes are more herbal, leathery, and mossy than the fruit-led openings of Blue, Black, and Red.

Is Polo Red Eau de Parfum the same scent?

Compare the full name before buying. Polo Red Eau de Parfum has its own note list: cranberry, ginger, and pink grapefruit; clary sage, lavender, and labdanum; then opoponax, benzoin, cedar, musk, and guaiac wood. The EDT lists saffron and coffee berry, while the EDP lists ginger and resins. The concentration label is not the only difference.
