Inoffensive and cool as a cucumber
I received a small sample of this fragrance when it was first released. In my opinion, Polo Red, White and Blue, is pleasant, certainly refreshing, yet a little too subtle.
I'm guessing that the red, white and blue reference has been made so that it reflects America, most notably with the flag colours. When this fragrance opened with the crisp red apple note, relating back to the 'Big Apple' New York, I did agree with this fragrance being rather American in both appeal and style.
The fragrance does however open strongely yet fades quite quickly. At first I was enjoying the refreshing Summery burst of apple and cooling cucumber, looking forward to the aromatic lavendar and herbaceous sage, which was certainly present but so light that I could barely smell it.
Polo Red, White and Blue is really for the man that doesn't like strong, overbearing scents. Wearing fragrances are for him and him only. Anyone near you would have to stand very close and inhale deeply to detect this scent at all.
The drydown is a very basic musk and sandalwood which unfortunately doesn't hold too long on the skin. This fragrance tends to be rather fleeting.
I honestly don't mind this fragrance. It has a softness that I quite like, especially when worn by men in the warmer months. Polo Red, White and Blue would work well as a refresher. One spritz when tired in the morning, another after a workout at the gym, perhaps.
