The Evolution of the Polo Fragrance Brand

Previously enrolled at Southern Maine Community College, Aaron Mcneel is a Portland resident who manages maintenance of a local fishing vessel. Outside of work, Aaron Mcneel has a strong interest in Japanese denim and is also an active collector and seller of colognes ranging from the vintage to the contemporary.

One of the powerhouses of contemporary men’s cologne is Ralph Lauren, a fashion house which popularized polo shirts as an aesthetic before launching the iconic Polo fragrance in 1978. This legendary cologne features leather, pine wood, and tobacco notes and combines classic masculinity with an appealing freshness.

Introduced in 1994, Polo Sport was more than simply a lighter version of its namesake and tempered the underlying woodiness with a crisp green aroma that seemed to embody athletic pursuits. In 2012, this was updated with the release of Polo Blue Sport, a formulation that lightens the woody base further and includes notes such as mint and apple.

In 2013, Polo expanded its line with Polo Red, which forewent the base woodiness altogether and brought together fiery scents such as red grapefruit and spicy red saffron. With Polo Blue and Black recently added to the mix, Ralph Lauren now offers a wide range of colognes for various occasions.
