Allegedly inspired by Goldfield & Banks Australia Tales of Amber. This is, for sure, a niche, very particular aroma, and difficult to point out exactly what you are smelling, due to its unique and balanced blend. It offers a very complex, dualistic, and transitional experience. It opens with a bright freshness, a sugary fruity sweet, resinous, and a bit smoky. The dry down turns to a more vanillic sweet, powdery, resinous, woody, and ambery. For some reason from time to time, I was smelling similarities with Tom Ford Black Orchid. This is a fragrance that is rich but also subtle, fresh but also smoky, strong but also powdery and inoffensive. Cooler weather and any occasion appropriate, with good projection and longevity. A very nice and interesting DNA.

Some of you likely know me from other groups and are aware of my completely normal obsession with collecting Polo. Like normal in that I would hunt down a buyer in Malaysia to get me Chinese market releases shipped to the US for nearly double retail. No regrets. If you're familiar with Polo Earth these all keep the core DNA and add new focal notes to the existing ones. A big change in these is they are all EdP instead of EdT like the others. The performance with this change is very noticeable. Here are my takes on the 4 offerings, in order of my preference. - Polo Earth Pinewood | Amazingly good. Lasts all day. Polo Earth's fresh and aromatic DNA with a bold addition of fresh, bright, crisp pine. Love this one. - Polo Earth Sea Salt | Same core DNA with a salty sea air addition. Performs well but not quite like Pinewood. - Polo Earth Verbena | This is the newest one, just got it last week. It's SUPER lemony up top, almost like cleaning product lemony. Fortunately, that tones done and the grassy green verbena is known for joins in. Lemon note in this reminds me of Eros Energy. This would shine in warmer weather. - Polo Earth Rose | This is Polo Earth with very straightforward rose. It's nice, just doesn't wow me as I prefer rose as a supporting note. Still good.
