Polo EDT, Ralph Lauren, Reformulation Guide
Vintage DecantsIdentify and explain:
Hello fragrance fam!
Today's review of "Identifying the vintage" is for the hall of fame, woods and pine masculine masterpiece known as Polo EDT by Ralph Lauren!
**This will be a basic, easy to understand writing of polos major reformulation changes.**
-1978-1987 It will say "Warner" on the bottom of the sticker. I generally consider these batches slightly smoother and easier to wear, than cosmair editions.
-1987-2000 It will say "Cosmair" on the bottom of the sticker. Very Similar to the Warner batches, but I feel the cosmair versions are a little more abrasive.
There's also a transition period in-between where it may say "warner" and "Cosmair" both on the sticker, those versions smell like a mix of both editions.
2001-Present, "Luxury Products" will be listed on the bottom of the sticker. Generally these are not well favored batches since the raw materials that were used like pine, cedar, oakmoss and patchouli, were reduced or synthesized in the newer formulas.
-My opinion for the best version of Polo, I would recommend finding a warner, or cosmair bottle!
Hope this helps and enjoy the Journey!
For diehard fans these are the batch years, my overall opinion is any of the pre-2001 batches are the way to go in terms of a quality scent profile.
