Ralph Lauren Polo Deep Blue Eau de Parfum 40ml is a 2020 men's aromatic-aquatic fragrance, composed by IFF perfumer Carlos Benaïm. Built around an aromatic-marine signature with green mango, cypress and a "deep ocean" accord, it's a polished, modern interpretation of the Polo Blue universe — fresh and oceanic, but with the depth and longevity of an eau de parfum.

Character
Polo Deep Blue opens with a fresh-fruity burst of green mango, grapefruit and bergamot — boosted by a Crystalfizz aldehyde for added sparkle — before settling into an aromatic heart of cypress, clary sage and geranium. The dry-down is where the fragrance lives up to its name: a "deep ocean" accord paired with patchouli, fir balsam resinoid and ambroxan gives the composition real depth, warmth and presence. Confident and clean rather than sweet or sporty.
Who it's for
This is a fragrance for men who like aromatic-aquatic compositions but want more depth, longevity and grown-up character than a typical sport-style aquatic. It's a strong choice for office, casual evening and date-night wear, especially in spring and summer — though the deeper base notes carry well into transitional months. Fans of the broader Polo Blue family will find it familiar but more polished.
How to wear it
- Apply to clean, moisturised skin straight after showering for the longest wear
- Spray onto pulse points — inner wrists, neck and chest
- Two to three sprays is plenty for an EDP
- Avoid rubbing wrists together to preserve the brightness of the fruit-citrus opening
- Layer with an unscented body lotion for additional longevity in warmer weather
