Polo EDT, Ralph Lauren, Reformulation Guide

Hello fragrance fam, on today's reformulation guide were covering the pine and woods and masterpiece known as Polo EDT for men by Ralph Lauren.
For a perfume released in 1978, yes there have been many small reformulations over time that have changed the original scent of Polo. I'm keeping things simple separating it into three main reformulations. The bottle style and shape has remained close to the same, so you mostly have to rely on your batch sticker to find what era your bottle was produced in. The most well regarded are Polos first two main reformulations by Warner and Cosmair.
1. Pre-1987: Any batch sticker that containers the word "Warner/Lauren" or "Warner/Cosmair". These are first edition batches of Polo. I would consider these versions slightly softer and easier to wear.

2. 1991-2006: Any batch sticker that contains the word "Cosmair" without "Warner". These are the most well known and loved versions of Polo. These versions come across as louder and more abrasive in smell with base notes like cedar and pine slightly amplified more than the warner versions.
*Due to a transition when Ralph Lauren was changing manufacturers, 2000-2006 Cosmair and Luxury Products have a shared batch code timeline. I would still suggest to pursue the Cosmair versions.
3. Post-2000: Any batch produced by "Luxury Products". Generally the older your bottle, the closer to Polos original scent profile you'll have. You can check these modern batch codes via a batch code website. Be aware of approximate mass reformulations in 2010, 2016 and again in 2024.
Hope this helps and enjoy the journey!
