What do reviewers say about Polo Cologne Intense Eau de Parfum and Apex?
This is the Ralph Lauren Polo the original always aspired to be. Its Ambroxan base provides a clean, mineral warmth that the 1978 version could only suggest.Polo Cologne Intense Eau de Parfum
Bold citrus-fruity presence that arrives with intent. Apex opens with a pineapple-citrus burst so assertive it commands attention, held by the green backbone of labdanum and oakmoss that doesn't let.Apex
