Big Pony Collection - 1 Ralph Lauren 2010
6
Let's get ready to... Boooooring!
Actually, I usually write comments with the perfume still on my skin, which allows me to take a few whiffs and spontaneously add to my memories and notes. Unfortunately, that's not possible here anymore, as I tested it over a week ago. And the last 2-3 hours of the scent's progression, if you can even call it that for this simple aquatic/shampoo fragrance, are completely gone due to a full-blown hangover anyway. What an evening... but that's another story ;)
The Pony Line is known to almost everyone - and usually not in a good way. Overpriced, boring, and synthetic or of low quality. But average noses probably have little to complain about it, otherwise my best buddy, with whom I got to test it, wouldn’t have already bought the second fragrance in the line with the blue bottle. Well, at least they’re not stinkers. But they are just mega interchangeable and very carelessly "thrown together".
Number 1 is unfortunately no exception. In comparison, even the weak new Red seems like a bullseye. A comparison to good RLs like Polo, Black, or Blue is almost self-evident. So many niche perfumes show what wonderful creations can emerge from just a few fragrance notes. Here, pure boredom arises and every word is too much of a good thing. I’ll just say dry, soapy, aquatic-citrusy, and like plain old shampoo. €10 would be just about appropriate for this.
Bottle: better than the scent but also quite cheesy.
Sillage: weaker than the scent and every bubble bath smells stronger.
Longevity: 4 hours (+- 2 hours)
Stay away from the Pony Line - even RL fans should rather reach for the classics one more time!
