What do reviewers say about Apex and 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
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
