A Laid Back Polo take on the Aquatic/Floral/Citrus Vibe
Ralph Lauren, a name synonymous with timeless elegance and classic style, introduced the Polo fragrance line in the late 1970s. The Polo series has consistently evolved, offering distinct variations on the original theme, each with its own unique character.
Enter Polo Ultra Blue, launched in 2018, representing a flanker to Polo Blue and yet a new chapter in the Polo fragrance lineage. Clearly inspired by other nautical fragrances, this scent evokes the essence of freedom, vitality, and adventure.
The bottle is familiar Polo architecture, but with a distinct blue to clear gradation that sets it apart from the other Polo scents and clearly communicates the scent's intentions. Nothing to fault here, and at this price point the, bottle, atomizer and cap are more than adequate.
Upon spritzing Polo Ultra Blue onto your skin, you are immediately enveloped in a fresh, revitalizing aura. The fragrance opens with a burst of citrusy zest, courtesy of the crisp lemon and vibrant bergamot notes. This initial burst is reminiscent of sun-kissed mornings by the ocean, awakening your senses with an invigorating zest. This introduction clearly informs the user that this is 100% a hot-weather scent.
After dry-down, a balanced aromatic accords is presented. Here, the aromatic sage adds a touch of herbaceous sophistication, while the geranium provides a floral nuance that softens the composition. I am particularly fond of the floral/rose on my skin.
As the fragrance develops, the base notes emerge, The combination of earthy and woody notes, such as moss and ambroxan, adds depth and sensuality to the composition. These base notes intertwine with the oceanic accord; It is this aquatic element that truly distinguishes Polo Ultra Blue from its predecessors in the Polo lineup.
While Polo Ultra Blue carries the DNA of the original Polo fragrance, it differentiates itself with a distinct focus on freshness and an oceanic motif. It stands out from other aquatic fragrances by providing a balanced composition that doesn't overemphasize the maritime elements. In this regard, Polo Ultra Blue finds a delicate equilibrium between the aquatic and aromatic facets, resulting in a fragrance that exudes both confidence and approachability.
When compared to other fragrances in the Ralph Lauren Polo line, Polo Ultra Blue finds a place of its own. It does not attempt to replicate the bold masculinity of Polo Green or the classic refinement of Polo Blue. Instead, it carves its niche as a refreshing and invigorating scent that celebrates the spirit of exploration and adventure.
In the realm of men's fragrances, Polo Ultra Blue stands tall as an exceptional choice for those seeking a refined, aquatic experience. Its invigorating blend of citrus, herbs, and oceanic accords creates an olfactory symphony that evokes the freedom and vitality of the open sea. Whether you're strolling along the shoreline or stepping into a boardroom, Polo Ultra Blue is a versatile companion that offers a breath of fresh air.
