Ralph Lauren
Polo Red EDT
“Sporty energy with a coffee twist — the fraternity house's favorite daily driver.”
The take
What works
- ●Punchy grapefruit-coffee opening that's distinct from typical designer reds
- ●Four-season versatility despite the loud framing
- ●Consistent performer at an accessible price
Trade-offs
- ●Drydown collapses into generic cedar-amber territory
- ●Coffee note is more aspirational than detectable
