Polo Red Parfum is the deepest version of Polo Red in this list and the one to pick if you like the original but want more staying power. The Ulta Beauty listing calls it a long-lasting men's cologne with absinthe and orris, sustainable bergamot and lavender in the heart, and a cedarwood base; the detailed note list adds blood orange oil, pink peppercorn, musk and opoponax. It sits in the Woody & Ambery family, so it is warmer and less citrusy than the Fresh Oriental eau de toilette. The bottle is refillable, a feature only the two parfums on this list mention. The price is $148 for 4.2 oz, and Ulta's Replenish & Save showed $140.60 for subscription orders at our check. It is sold in 2.5 and 4.2 oz bottles. Buyers who want Polo Red for hot days or the office should stay with the eau de toilette. We compared published notes, sizes and prices only.
