>Gay dragon like it
Polo Sport by Ralph Lauren (1993) was a very big deal when it launched, and became the go-to scent for many a "gym bro" back in the day, who were composed entirely of muscle, libido, and a desire to beat everyone at everything in which one could possibly declare a winner and loser. This was the smell of unbridled ego-driven whey-fueled insecurity for much of the 90's, a market that would be tapped into heavily until the 2000's, and if you so dare as got even unintentionally in the path of one such meathead doused in Polo Sport on his way in or out the door, you'd be on the receiving end of either an arrogant quip or possibly a shiner. Now not everyone wearing Polo Sport is or was a self-centered "Chad", as a lot of impressionable teenage boys and young men throughout the time Polo Sport reigned supreme wore it to be "on trend", much in the same way Davidoff Cool Water (1988) was also worn to absolute death. For my experience, this was one of the few scents you were almost required to own if you were going to own any at all coming up through high school by the end of the decade, as wearing something so popular that onlookers could recognize your scent was actually encouraged rather than frowned upon like it seems to be now. Polo Sport wasn't so much an important release for incidentally becoming the territorial pissings of steroid abusers during the 90's, but rather because it furthered the aquatic genre put into being by the aforementioned Cool Water and eventually the "blue fragrance" category. There were other attempts at emulating the accord founded by the erstwhile Davidoff mega-hit, but nobody really tried to advance the state of the art quite like

Harry Freemont did with Polo Sport. Becoming the number-one "sports scent" among males for a time is no small feat, but the combination of oceanic tones with a richer earthy/woody underpinning was one sure-fire way to make it happen. Polo Sport is by far the final word in "blue" aquatics, and there would be at least one or two more great leaps in the genre until it lay dormant to be reawakened without so much "blue" midway through the 2000's, but it's still pretty important because the abstract concept of a fruity fresh "blue" masculine fragrance really solidified with Polo Sport, evolving more when Bleu de Chanel (2010) showed up to change the game by removing the aquatic elements.

The cobalt-colored bottle reminiscent of a sports canteen is crowned with a cap and resembling a bar/knob from a free weight or piece of athletic equipment, housing a juice that itself would be copied countless times for the next 15 years or so. Polo Sport fused fruity minty top notes with smooth cool spices and a unique sea grass note in the heart, then finished with a woody aromatic base laced with the prerequisite dihydromyrcenol "aquatic" note. Opening with mandarin, tangerine, pineapple, mint, lavender and neroli, Polo Sport confronts you with a dynamic contrast of fruity sweet, cool, sharply citric, slightly-medicinal aura that sets up for the green vegetal sea grass heart mixed with geranium and rosewood. This heart is the most-iconic feature of Polo Sport, and is the part that would become most-copied as the 90's went on, quickly stealing the title of "aquatic gold standard" away from Cool Water, which itself has by comparison received far fewer clones over the years. From there, we move into a more-conventional base of musk, oakmoss, patchouli, and sandalwood with the "aquatic" note moving between them, but this is also a bit unconventional in a way too, because it was far heavier and more aromatic than what

[Anonymous No.17965036]

>>17965033
what few aquatics arrived on the scene prior, and definitely has more depth than Cool Water itself. What we're left with is an accord that provides a semi-sweet fresh crisp experience with dynamism up top mixed with a vegetal quality of the heart that very gradually moves the slider into aromatic woods and musk territory as the base takes over. Polo Sport is a suprisingly unpretentious fragrance since it offers up approachable freshness and inviting warmth when you get close, which seems all the more ironic that it was pitched as a sport scent and worn by a bunch of Gold's Gym flunkies looking to get in everyone's pants or scare them off the dance floor with arms too big to do much more than the cabbage patch when C&C Music Factory started cranking at the Roxbury. Where you would use this now is anyone's guess, as Polo Sport has moved so far away from the common masculine vernacular that wearing it around millennials might actually catch people off-guard regardless of context or time of year, but this feels more summery than anything else even if it has enough weight for general use. You won't get looks of concern like you might wearing an 80's powerhouse or 70's aromatic, but you'd definitely get some folks trying to place where they've smelled it before if you sport it on an outing.

[Anonymous No.17965040]

>>17965036
As for performance, conflicting opinions exist about pre-and-post-2011 batches, or before and after oakmoss was heavily restricted and mostly replaced with evernyl for the houses unwilling to pay up on the low-atranol treated oakmoss available nowadays. For my part, the modern version of Polo Sport still "smells like Polo Sport", and wears with moderate projection and longevity. This was never a "beast-mode" fragrance from the onset, but most people experiencing Polo Sport back in its prime were also experiencing an over-application on the wearer's part in many cases, with rose-tinted glasses and hobbyist knowledge doing the rest for some guys to assert that vintage is stronger/better because it had more oakmoss. If you prefer it, then by all means seek vintage out, but people new to Polo Sport will still "get the point" with what's commonly out there. Jean Patou took the depth of Polo Sport's base even further with the oakmoss-stuffed Voyageur (1994), a fragrance that isn't even possible to make under current IFRA regulations, so if oakmoss content is important to you, then I'd not look to this scent for satisfaction anyway. Wings for Men by Giorgio Beverly Hills (1994) is the next logical leap for folks who enjoy the "blueness" of Polo Sport, as Wings for Men is the "bluest" aquatic I have ever smelled. For everyone else, Polo Sport is the once-ubiquitous turning point in men's fragrances where "sport" was more of a marketing gimmick than an actual olfactive aesthetic, and remains something that at least needs to be experienced once if not worn or enjoyed alongside Polo Blue (2002), as a critical step towards where mass-appeal masculine perfumes have gone.

I still enjoy the occasional sniff from Polo Sport when I find an old tester here or there, but wearing this is like strapping on my JNCO jeans and tossing a Korn CD into my stereo, and I'm not testosterone-filled or close to having pectorals bursting from a purposely too-tight shirt to own a bottle unironically. Still, for the guy looking to rock some old-school aquatics (feels wrong placing those two terms together but here we are), Polo Sport is probably the best starting place because it shares the most DNA with what's out there now than anything else made back then, and still smells pretty damn good too. Just please remember to rack your weights when you're done with them, since not all of us can bench press a SmartCar like you, thanks. Thumbs up.

Yeah, I've gotten a bunch of decants from there.Overall pretty good, and shipping was relatively quick. Usually it's cheaper per ml than FragranceNet and you have a much larger selection of scents. I kinda liked Fragrancenet's 8ml travel-sizes instead of DecantX's 5ml or 10ml. You can also get smaller, cheaper decants of 2/3/5/10ml in clear glass atomizer vials, but be warned: I had a batch of these clear atomizers and they had a white tape wrapped around to keep them from spilling but it left a nasty smell on the atomizer. Also I think the atomizers themselves were prone to building up oil that would get a rancid smell. The juice itself was fine, however.

well Dior Homme Sport (2022?) is very similar but fresher, probably younger a bit too. Having both would be redundant tho.
I have Dior Homme 2020 and I think, based on what I read, that Nicolai New York Intense is sorta in that direction but higher quality. I haven't smelled it yet so it's just an idea.

Pour Un Homme Sport offers a fresh take on the classic blend of lavender, vanilla, and tonka found in the original Pour Un Homme. It begins with grapefruit and lemon verbena, overshadowing the lavender. This version brings out a more medicinal aspect of lavender, sans vanilla. Almost smells minty. Spices interplay with a woodsy base, leading to a drydown marked by a salty ambergris accord and hints of benzoin. It’s a good casual scent.
