Trying to decide on Ralph Lauren Polo versions
- Thread starter Scuttlesoap
- Start date
You and I are old enough to have actually watched that game (or the highlights) in real time
I was referring to his comparing pino silvestre to pine sol.
Yup.
Oh.. thought you were saying polo was minty…Yup.
I am refraining from voting since there is no live for Polo Blue.
No worries.
You youngsters and your blue frags……..
So the winner is……..
I went old school - fingers crossed it is what I remember

Dude...I was there when Mr. Lauren introduced Polo Green. I was there when the collective whaff of trendy fragrance hovered over the continental United States and lingered there for a decade! Seriously though...I like Green a good bit. But my wife prefers Blue. On a side note...my weekly bath soap is STirling Green right now which is a Polo Green clone.You youngsters and your blue frags……..
It is...congrats!
This is going to be strange - because all my memories of this are from 1987
Damn you are old!
But I am right there with you!
If only I had a DeLorean with a Flux Capacitor!
Stetson, Polo (the OG) and Pierre Cardin...what great men smell like with pimples. English Leather, British Stirling and Aspen...what their MOMS wanted them to smell like.
I actually like Aspen but English Leather and British Stirling just don't work for me. Maybe its the newer formulations that are failing, I don't have any vintage (1980's) versions to try.

My father had 3 aftershaves/colognes.……..(1) Aqua Velva - his daily driver, (2) Old Spice - worn for “dress up” occasions such as church or other suit and tie events, and (3) English Leather - meant my brother and I were staying overnight at a friend’s house because mom and dad had “plans”
The first one will always have a special place in my heart - because my dad would put it on my face when we shaved together, the second - I like just because he wore it - not usually in my bailiwick…..and I have to admit - #3 was never my thing.
I do own British Stiriling just because I like to collect the “pharmacy” colognes - I have to check out Stetson and Pierre Cardin - I’m positive I must have smelled either somewhere in my life - just can’t remember when.

I’m afraid to buy English Leather, for what they have done to it, but the OG was pure gold.
Can’t help with Polo, never tried it.
A fragrance friend was talking about how back in the day, the frag you wore identified what clique you were part of. Polo was for a different group, that I didn’t belong to.
Stuff like English Leather, sort of was no man’s land, but I always like it best, cherry cedary leather is what I remember.
