Polo Red Intense

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Ralph Lauren Polo Red Intense

Polo Red Intense is a richer, deeper take on Polo Red, and our version keeps that bold character, built around the same notes with strong, lasting wear.

The Story Behind the Scent

Ralph Lauren built Polo Red Intense in 2015 as a richer, deeper take on Polo Red, pairing a juicy grapefruit opening with a spicy ginger and coffee heart over a warm leather amber base for a bold, sensual masculine character.

Our interpretation follows that character, rebuilt at a high perfume oil concentration so it projects well and lasts on skin.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

We build ours as an eau de parfum with a high perfume oil load and sell direct, so you get the same rich spicy woody character with strong projection and longevity.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a rich spicy woody scent.

How it Smells
