What wearers say

“7/10 I've owned Polo Green three times over the last couple decades and the previous two bottles had high performance. The bottle I bought in Fall 2025 is decidedly less strong and seems to have barely medium performance. Still same classic scent but with a less sillage, presence, and projection -it feels almost an EDC strength.”

“I can appreciate this for what it is, but it is totally not for me, it smells like how I imagine a bowling alley bar would have smelled in the late '70s. The tobacco note isn't tobacco as many of us know it, but rather just cigarettes. The opening is wet cigarettes. The dry down is wet cigarettes and Irish Spring soap. Kind of reminds me of Brut aftershave. Not sure what people are saying about current formulation being watered down. I purchased in 2025, and from my bottle, the longevity and projection are definitely above average; it's rather potent. One spray should be enough.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“Okay, so after letting this sit in my closet for about a month, the opening scent of ashtray has finally disappeared and gave way to this amazing opening scent. The dry down is even better now after letting it sit in the closet; it's a lot smoother now. Will wear this someday in the fall or winter.”
