Scent Story

Polo Sport Woman Eau de Toilette opens with an energizing combination of juicy melon and bright lemon accented by peppermint, water mint, and eucalyptus. Orange blossom and sparkling aldehydes add a clean floral freshness, creating an opening that feels cool, crisp, and instantly refreshing.

As the fragrance develops, a colorful bouquet of freesia, cyclamen, lily, ylang-ylang, poppy, violet, and rose moves into the heart. Ginger and nutmeg provide a subtle spicy character, while musk adds softness and helps balance the fresh florals with a smooth, feminine warmth.

The dry down introduces cedar, sandalwood, oak, ebony wood, amber, and patchouli. These woody notes give the fragrance depth and structure while amber adds gentle warmth. Patchouli creates an earthy finish that complements the clean aquatic freshness of the opening.

The result is a refreshing floral aquatic fragrance that feels sporty, feminine, and polished. Ralph Lauren Polo Sport Woman is an excellent choice for women who enjoy fresh perfumes, aquatic fragrances, citrus scents, and clean florals with a smooth woody base.
