Polo Crest by Ralph Lauren Fragrance Review

[@John_D67]

Outstanding old school blend, brings me back. Grabbed a partial bottle myself a few months ago. Really pick up on the carnation, a very enjoyable wear. As with you, I do get decent longevity, lasts a work day no problem. 👍🏻

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Definitely get the florals in mine especially the larger 1/3 full bottle

[@halfnorfolk5310]

Wow! I was just talking about this gem this morning with a KZbinr. When this came out in 1991 I got a bottle for graduation that year! I miss this one! If Ralph ever brings this one back, I'm buying! Being a Polo guy, I was wearing the clothes with the Crest on it and, of course, wearing this great cologne to complete the look! That cedar and oak moss was very nice!

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Who the hell knows why it was discontinued but they have 1000 versions of polo blue lol

[@RockCity1111]

I'd definitely try it but I can't do the reformulated green Polo so I probably wouldn't like it. But it's honestly great stuff. I think I have 4 bottles lol

[@justaddlight]

I miss this scent. The original Polo always had 2 parts for me - the barbershop backbone and the spicy, piney/ashy tobacco at the forefront for most of the fragrance. This one feels like it blends the two in a way that smoothes out the rough edges. Always felt that the juice colour was appropriate. For a short time I preferred this one over Polo, but now I enjoy them equally. Great review.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

That’s a great description of it for sure! smoothed out polo green, thank you for watching as always dude !

[@halfnorfolk5310]

I agree! Ralph knows how to put the barbershop in a bottle! This was a serious and versatile scent, especially for autumn and winter.

[@RockCity1111]

This was my 2nd ever frag given to me by my mother!! Good old Mom started me out on the Original Polo and then I remembered her giving me this and i lost those full bottles. Had to be lost in a move or stolen. I had about 7 bottles mostly all green and two Crest. Mom work for a fragrance distributor and got some killer deals. This video brought all these memories back so I went on ebay any bought 3 bottles of each In all sizes and haven't barely touched any newer stuff.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

The original and crest are both fantastic I am so happy I have vintage polo green and Crest

[@lesliescott7838]

Good day Kelan . I love seeing you do the collaboration video with Dan/Mr Smelly . Also to my surprise, but probably not to yours . Your New England Patriots are doing some amazing things with young Matt Jones . They put on a clinic against my brothers Buffalo Bill's . Anyway looking forward to your next fragrance video . Keep up the good work Sir . 👍🏿

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Hey Leslie ! Thanks for watching, and yes Mac Jones is the future Bill is doing what he does best right now. A bucs vs Patriots Super Bowl is a real possibility

[@TheBTEAMwins]

I love polo crest! Doesn’t last long on me but damn it’s so so sooo good

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Yeah performance is different for each person with this one unfortunately it’s not consistent like the OG polo green. But it smells fantastic! Thanks for the support as always !

[@JPT7943]

Great video! Thanks for doing this one. Everything you said, I was thinking, "Yep". Totally agree with you. Fun to watch. Would be great to listen to you do a review of the very limited release of Polo Modern Reserve. It's definitely poIo but it's a bit lighter with a little more top end to it. I remember buying that when it came out at Nordstroms and then returning a few weeks later to buy another bottle because I knew it wasn't going to be around very long.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I would love to try that one I hear it’s great. Just very hard to find now

[@AccentShmaccent]

Thanks for reviewing this!!

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Thank you for watching and commenting dude

[@terrysmiles8599]

Very Nice Kelan...I need to try that one..I have a lot of his Fragrances...Including Big Pony Collection...Sport....Pretty much almost everyone he made i have...Except for a few...

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I just have this and the original and the new polo cologne intense

[@surfgreen111]

Hey nice review man. That logo is pretty cool.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I think polo crest clothing still exists but the cologne is long gone lol hope all is well dude !

[@kensears5099]

I just ordered myself a humble "haul" of 10 samples, fragrances I've kept hearing about prominently from you and two or three others on KZbin since I started watching this year. A few of these I assumed I'd never try because of the price and am still sure I'll never get a full bottle of, but, hey, why not try a sample and satisfy my curiosity! Also one or two of them are, I'm pretty sure, not for me but I think they'll fit some friends. For $50 (incl. shipping and taxes) I consider this a prudent, fiscally sensible experiment. Ordered Amouage Beach Hut Man EdP*, Au Coeur du Desert Parfum Extrait, Parfums de Marly Percival EdP, Escentric Molecule 01 EdT, Tauer Incense Rose EdP, Imaginary Authors Fox in the Flowerbed EdP,* Roja Parfums Vetiver Parfum Extrait, and Comme des Garcons Zagorsk, Hinoki, and Marseille. Asterisked: probably gifts but of course I'll sniff them! THANK you for the enjoyment you've brought me in this new little hobby of mine. I wish you the happiest holidays! PS I particularly enjoy "visiting" South Jersey, virtually, on your channel. I'm an old Blackwood/Turnersville and Toms River man. Far, far, faaaar from there now.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Thanks so much for watching and commenting Ken ! I have not tried any of those samples you listed they are all famous niche scents I have heard of though. I used to work in Turnersville briefly back in 2018 lol thank you for watching and commenting as always sir !

[@bojax3434]

Loved it back in the day. I wish they would retro some of these.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

This one is awesome I wish it was still around as well ! Slight fresher take on the original polo

[@the_perfume_temple]

Hey there, nice to see a new review! I actually never had the occasion to smell this one, sounds pretty good!

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

It’s an awesome scent, you can check out the original “chevignon” by chevignon if you can’t track down a bottle of crest it’s very close. Thank you for watching and commenting sir

[@the_perfume_temple]

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey Thank you! I like that brand, I own Best of Chevignon, nice summer frag...I'll track down the other one too!

[@aginacarlo]

Hey Kelan, Enjoyed your excellent review of Polo Crest, sounds interesting…..I just picked up a bottle of Gianfranco Ferré(86') over the weekend. If any of your viewers are fans of Balenciaga Ho Hang, Bogart Signature, Van Cleef & Arpels or Azzaro, then they may want to take a whiff of this underrated gem! I think it is another great 'Italian Barbershop Style' Cologne from 1986!

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Gianfranco is always an excellent choice ! Thank you Al !

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day

Thanks Keith!

[@megaren]

Hi Kelan, Nice to see you back with a video. Missed seeing your new videos. Hoping that we can see your reviews more frequently. Nice review. I had an obscure Polo in 2010 & was called Polo Explorer, which was a gift from my Dad. Have you tried it? Cheers Renoy Melbourne

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I have tried explorer thought it was decent but I didn’t like it enough to buy a full bottle, I have a video where I do a first impression of it actually. Thank you for watching and commenting sir!

[@megaren]

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey Always happy to watch your videos and points of view. Yeah the explorer wasn’t great and the longevity suffered for it as well.

[@louisthompson2452]

Appreciate the excellent content, Sir. Peace and Love.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Thanks so much for watching and commenting sir!

[@theclown9293]

Tbh I think it’s not worth it to buy Polo Crest IMO. Like you said it’s similar to the Original Polo Green. And performance on my skin wasn’t the greatest. And Polo Green Original has a way better scent to me more masculine. Great vid as always Kelan 👌👌👌👌

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Check out Chevignon by Chevignon it’s very close to crest and much less money still rare though

[@randyminter1963]

Always wondered about this one... seen it around for a very long time.. sounds really nice though.. maybe I'll see if I can get a decant.. thanks for the info...

[@Yarmox]

Managed to get one from a flea market.. its like polo green but more airy.. real golf club scent. Like an 80s country club. Good stuff for a collection.

[@bikerjimbob]

Hey man, love your videos. I'm not sure if I've asked you or not, but I'm looking for the best 80s fragrance ever. The original Guess Man, in a tall slender bottle. Black cap with black base. It says guess man in white on the front of the base with heavenly golden juice. Also if I got my hands on some, could a perfumer recreate it? Thanks in advance!

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I have never tried that one, check out eBay and I wouldn’t know if a perfumer could recreate it but I’d imagine one could though it’s done all the time by clone houses like Dua fragrances. Thank you for watching and commenting sir

[@johnmancini4403]

Bought this back in the 90s. Wasn't that big of a fan. Not saying it smells bad but I was underwhelmed.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I could see that if you already had polo for men (green) it’s not that far off from the original. I love both but they are similar. Thank you for watching and commenting John !

[@jeremyhinze8837]

Always wanted to try this one. Good show my man 🙏

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

It’s really awesome! Check out the original “Chevignon” by Chevignon if you can’t track down a bottle of crest, it’s very close. Thank you for watching and commenting as always dude

[@darrylbrown6887]

Like it!! Shot out a few bottles over the decades. Gotta be careful, it's strong. Lasts a long time. Bummed it's discontinued. Damn the torpedoes!! Gotta be easy on my current last bottle....

[@gregnutter1296]

I'm always picking these up on eBay, love it.

[@RichMitch]

I've got a partial of this, not huge on it to be honest

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

At least you tried it since it’s a rare fragrance nowadays! Thanks for stopping by Rich !

[@terrysmiles8599]

Yep My Polo green Deodorant is nearly gone...It was like that when i got it...

Nice! Sounds good. I always wanted to try this. I almost grabbed a bottle from eBay..but I saw a bottle of Modern Reserve for pretty cheap..and got that instead.

That’s one I have not tried yet ! How is it ?

[@billdemas8712]

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey I love it.

@@billdemas8712 it's a tobacco and oakmoss free formula from what I understand. I do wonder if Crest and Modern reserve smell similar ?
