Polo Supreme Oud
by Ralph Lauren
Polo Supreme Oud by Ralph Lauren delivers a well-blended, spicy-woody fragrance with a prominent cinnamon and oud base, featuring warm guaiac wood and vetiver. It's not a bold or immediately overwhelming scent, but rather a refined, smooth, and elegantly masculine oud that suits those new to the note. While it lacks the deep, earthy complexity of niche oud perfumes, it offers a nicely balanced sweetness—cinnamon and a subtle vanilla, described as creaminess—making it wearable and accessible. It performs best in colder weather, particularly autumn and winter, and excels in night settings, earning compliments for its striking presence. The scent dries down to a soft, intimate skin scent, but long-lasting powdery warmth persists well beyond 5 hours. It’s praised as an ideal entry point for oud beginners due to its gentle, non-medical feel and balanced construction, though some feel the longevity is moderate to weak on sensitive skin.
