Crisp fresh spicy sage lavender without much innovation or performance, but still nice
Sampling Ralph Lauren Polo Earth Provencial Sage, a 2023 flanker of the 2022 original, which I recall smelling once but not giving a full review of. Provencial Sage is a fresh green herbal aromatic with some citrus contributions, a clean freshie that leans slightly masculine, smelling a bit like a classic fragrance, but being unobtrusive and not at all that daring enough to engender criticism. It has a sort of sage/lavender sharpness against a citrus and oakmoss background, nicely done, for sure, something that could comfortable be worn to excess.
The retail pricing seems to range from about $1 to $2 per ml, the latter being quite a lot for what it is, in my opinion, a nicely constructed fragrance with modest performance and not a ton of innovation. I think at more Zara-like pricing (about $40 for 100ml), it’d be a smash hit and very well accepted, but it just feels a bit overpriced despite smelling nice.
7 out of 10
