Polo is loud out of the gate, like a 76 Chevy Nova with a modified exhaust. It makes no apologies and takes no prisoners. Polo is a half buttoned shirt with chest hair poking out.

Polo opens very, very green. The sharper notes listed (artemesia, caraway, juniper) definitely take center stage. Pine also features heavily. Leather, tobacco, sharp florals and pepper take over the mid. Cedar, a heavy dose of oakmoss, and vetiver hold it all together.

There's no soft edges here and not much that fits into current trends. Polo definitely leans mature, and not for everyone. It's one of those that's definitely more common in a maintenance shop than a high school or college.

      A little late for Christmas in July, I guess. I'm a little bored and stir crazy, and the pine in Polo might've got to me for a minute.

      It’s good to take your madness for a gallop every now and then 🤗
