Polo Blue Parfum turns the fresh Polo Blue idea into a woodier, more intense scent. The Ulta Beauty listing says it adds a new intensity of rich sensuality to the collection, built on an upcycled oakwood accord derived from the creation of French cognac barrels, with mandarin and clary sage on top and patchouli and vetiver giving an earthy, smoky finish. The full note list also includes cardamom, pink pepper, lavandin, a jasmine accord and olibanum. Like Polo Red Parfum, it comes in a refillable bottle, here in navy with gunmetal accents, and it costs $148 for 4.2 oz with a 2.5 oz size also listed. It ranks just behind Polo Red Parfum because the two are equal on concentration and price, and the Red's Replenish & Save discount was visible at our check. Men who love the cucumber and melon of the original should note that this version leans on wood and spice instead. We compared published notes, sizes and prices only.
