Polo Black Eau de Toilette is the outlier in the Polo line: darker and fruitier than the blue and red scents. The Ulta Beauty listing describes a bold fusion of iced mango, silver armoise and patchouli noir, with Spanish sage, a green effervescent accord, hedione, sandalwood, timberol and tonka bean in the full composition. The listing calls it modern, daring and sophisticated and aims it at the urban gentleman, which points to evenings rather than daytime. It costs $116 for 4.2 oz, tied for the lowest price on this list, but it is the only entry sold in a single size with no smaller bottle and no stronger concentration on Ulta's Ralph Lauren page. Its black bottle with strong shoulders and a silver pony is based on Polo's signature flask. It ranks last because its narrower, evening-only profile and single size make it a harder blind buy than the other picks. We compared published notes, sizes and prices only.
