How does the Parfum concentration compare to the original Polo Blue EDT?+−
While they share an aquatic DNA, the Parfum is significantly woodier and drier. The addition of frankincense and oak wood in the base gives it a weight and sophistication that the citrus-heavy original lacks, making it feel more like an evening or professional upgrade.
Is this fragrance suitable for the office?+−
Yes, it is highly recommended for business settings. Its clary sage and lavender heart keep it smelling clean and "barbershop" fresh, while the woody base prevents it from being too casual or sporty.
Which seasons are best for wearing Polo Blue Parfum?+−
It is most effective during the spring and summer due to its aquatic and citrus accords. However, unlike many seasonal fresh scents, the spicy cardamom and resinous base notes allow it to transition smoothly into the fall.
How is the longevity and sillage on this version?+−
As a Parfum, it focuses more on longevity than sillage. It is known for lasting through a full workday, though it sits closer to the skin compared to the more volatile Eau de Toilette versions, making it a good choice for those who prefer a scent that doesn't overwhelm the room.
