In a world where trends come and go, some brands manage to maintain their relevance across generations. Ralph Lauren is one such name, known for its classic Americana imagery and, surprisingly, its art of perfumery. Among the brand's offerings, Polo Earth Moroccan Neroli stands out as a refreshing and sophisticated unisex fragrance.
The fragrance is part of the "Polo Earth" series, which includes four fragrances. Polo Earth is declared as a unisex fragrance and this is 100% true. It begins with a wonderful freshness of various hesperides; a conglomerate of citron (cedrat), bergamot, petigrain and mandarin. The top note is therefore a wonderfully fresh, citrusy beginning, which contains a subtly fruity component with a minimal green accord thanks to the petitgrain and mandarin, which is particularly typical of lemon petitgrain.
This refreshing beginning is joined by the bright floral heart, in which the orange blossom holds the sceptre in my nose. This blossom resonates throughout the fragrance and is always hidden in the background, but on closer inspection or analysis of the fragrance, the floral heart of the scent is very recognizable. In addition to its fresh citrus aroma, the O blossom is characterized by its vanilla-like, sweet scent, of which little to nothing is discernible to my nose in this fragrance. At the base, the perfume takes on a clean and slightly soapy accord, which I attribute to the musk mentioned here. I particularly recognize this type of musk note in Narciso Rodriguez fragrances, which gives me a feeling of total cleanliness and I like it very much.
Like many Ralph Lauren scents, the addition of ambrette allows for the perfect balance of grounded sophistication and luxury. The freshness of Moroccan Neroli Blossoms combines with sparkling bergamot and the softest whisper of lavender is what keeps me coming back to this unisex fragrance.

As many brands have been doing lately, American Fashion behemoth Ralph Lauren has been taking steps towards sustainability and including more natural oils in their perfumes. The trend started with Polo Earth for the brand, which deceptively wasn’t an earthy fragrance, but one meant to embody the preservation of our earth. 3 new flankers have arrived to mirror that same steadfast commitment from the brand by the names of Moroccan Neroli, Antilles Vetiver, and Provencial Sage. Each scent is mainly based off one note, with a few supporting notes, along with a name that shows where the star player’s oil was sourced from.
A Mediterranean getaway in a bottle, the perfume has a burst of effervescent bergamot and fresh green mandarin that flows like a breeze into a heart of neroli, lavender, and sage. A base of ambrette leaves a velvety warm touch that embraces the natural essence of the scent.

Customer Reviews
Here's what customers are saying about Polo Earth Moroccan Neroli:
"I'm no perfumer but I know what I like in a fragrance. I like my new Polo Earth Moroccan Neroli very much. In fact, it's my new favorite fragrance. What's particularly nice about it is that it lasts almost all day for me. It lingers as a subtle but unique fragrance that doesn't overpower you or those around you. Yet, I get a real sense that those around me are enjoying it too. It creates an aura of positivity! Man, I never thought I would say something like that about a fragrance."
Longevity and Sillage
Due to its composition, Polo Earth is an excellent candidate for a signature fragrance that can easily be worn by men and women all year round, although it would certainly come into its own in warmer weather. The longevity for a fragrance of this type is to be expected in the medium range; in other words, I perceive it on my skin for about 4-5 hours. In terms of sillage, it is also in the predictable range. It radiates well for the first hour before it slowly but surely recedes.

The bottles are housed in the same fashion of the EDT, fit with a sustainable wooden cap and paper label along with a lightweight glass bottle that is refillable. The asking price of all 3 is $68 for 40ml, $106 for 100ml, and $152 for a 150ml refill.
I applaud Ralph Lauren for taking steps towards preserving our planet and using natural ingredients. The bottles look fantastic and fit the theme, and the prices are affordable for many consumers.
