Good scent, a little too “club” vibe for me, but nice nonetheless. Not too strong, seems to only last a few hours

I love the scent!

Very nice. Not too strong, a perfect night time cologne. My wife loves it.

Smells nice and fresh. But lasts less than hour.

Doesn't smell like Polo Black to me

My husband loves it. It's like dun, mature, masculine, sexy all in one.

Love the smell of this the red was my favorite until I had this now it would be the black then blue then red

I like the scent. It is somewhat weak. It takes a couple extra shots of it to actually make an impression

Good but weak. But I'm also not sure if it's just because it's a sample. The last few samples I've gotten have just been super weak.

I enjoy polo black. Only downside is it takes a couple extra spritz to get the level of scent I desire.

Love it

I mean, it's Polo Black, what else can I say. It's a classic in my opinion. Longevity is good for a fragrance in this price range, definitely lasts longer on clothes.

One of my favorite scents, My wife likes it to.

Love it

Very nice scent light and fresh

I got this for my son. It is a perfectly fine fragrance but he wanted to exchange it because he felt it smelled like all of the other polo fragrances.

Smells good after dry down but it does smell metallic upon first applying.it does not last long at all even if you go six sprays deep after 3-4 hours even close to the skin you almost can’t smell anymore

One of my favorites

It's nice just doesn't do it for me.

One of my favorite fragrances, it keeps a nice balance between youth and adulthood type of smell. The only downside is the longevity , it's not very lasting on my skin but it stays longer on clothing.

Love it. Always have

Got it for my brother he loves it

Smells awful and gave me a migraine. Definitely not thrilled.

Smells amazing!!

Sexy smell to me

pretty basic nothing exciting

Love the smell

Great smell. Does not last long at all.

Love it

My son absolutely loves this!

Smells great but doesn't last long

For men who wanna smell manly for theirs spouse or jus smell like you business to handle

Doesn't last long

It smells very good. I bought it for my son for Christmas. He liked it too.

Smells great. I like how long the scent lasts.

It’s subtle and not overpowering with a clean scent but it doesn’t match me as it would for others

Smells ok. Smells clean and fresh, just not the fragrance that sets well with my skin.

Strong but nice tho

Smells great

Strong. I liked it

Nice scent but too popular.

Smells good.

Nice "grown and sexy" smell to it for a man. More bold and full aroma than alot of these other "perfumy" scents in my opinion

Smells like a fragrance for teenage boys. Don't know why they even sell this.

It's got a nice smell.

Is ok not platinum

It was okay, not really what I care for.

My wife and I love this cologne. We save it for special occasions!

Crisp and clean, definitely for a night out as opposed to work or school. Notes of vanilla and musk, almost woodsy, most of the notes are clean finishing though.

Love it the smell is light and mit yo much

It smells good I'm just not a fan of the tonka bean

Good fragrance I enjoyed it very much

It smells really good and lasts for hours.

Was pleased with Polo cologne sample. I especially love the Scents from paris

Awesome

Awesome smell ????????

Im Looking for Gucci doir stuff like that

Not my favorite

I like it. It has great smell

Smells good not to overbearing or overpowering its good

Very nice smelling

It really is a gorgeous smell ! It can definitely communicate with your body and leave a scent in the area

My son wanted something his dad used to wear. Been hardvsince divorce so he loved this

Sprayed in my eye driving and killed a dog

Very satisfied positive results ??

Classic that never goes out of style

My #1 go to of all time

Always great! Been wearing since 2010 never disappoints.

Smells great!!

Smells good put some on before bed still smell it when I woke

This has always been my favorite out of the Polo Collection. It’s a timeless scent that is very distinct.

Smells amazing wish it lasted a bit longer however overall great would highly recommend.

Smells amazing!

love it

Good cologne

Always been a panty dropper

Has a great scent that is not overpowering or overwhelming. Easy to wear and smells great throughout the day.

Smells great

Great, manly smell.

My girlfriend’s favorite

Best one!!!

Love it!!!

Great smell

Love this smell on my man!! It smells so good on him if drives me jnsane!! Very hapoy!

Smells ok, but reminds me of a cheap scent from the supercenter.

Man it wasn't what expected

Good evening date night scent that lasts. Does not share any DNA with original Polo Green. Good modern sleek type smell.

????

Great

After a shower, spray twice on your chest and then rub it into your skin,neck, and hair. Before you leave the door, spray 2 more times on your clothes... It first starts really Limon sweet. Then it settles into a saltwater, mango, dark woody Smell. Great for the daytime. Sporty/Beach/Fresh. Theirs something in that deep sweet smell if you're a warm blooded male that projects feelings in females. Just follow my instructions and thank me latter... 1handyfragrance

Smells very good spray on neck it will last longer than if you spray on your shirt

Love it great smell a definite head turner

Its good

Love the scent and strength of it

Great smelling cologne

Love the scent

Great classic scent. My wife loves it. But it didn't last very long.

Smells fresh and clean. Not offensive

Husband loves this scent.

Good masculine scent. I wear it to work and my wife loves it

Smells good, git for my significant other

Polo Black is a referred scent by my daughter, I’m a frequent smoker and it ironically masks the smell of smoke, plus it smells pretty good regardless I like all polo products!

It wasn't what I expected but I still liked it. No legs though.

I got this cologne sample for my fiance, and he loves it and I REALLY love it. It smells amazing, very sexy!

It wasn't what I really thought it was. It's not that bad but I wouldn't get it again doesn't last long and there's no power behind it.

Super clean scent

Bought for my husband and actually we bought ended up loving it!!!!

I like the earthy smell, it barely takes any at all. Love the scent

Smells good but common

One of my all time favorites.

Must have got a bad batch or something. Honestly the fragrance was Ok, but was not strong enough. Also didn't last not even 1hr. It's a let down. NEXT!!!!

I absolutely love this cologne!

One of best smelling fragrances from Polo.

By far, my favorite one since I joined. My wife doesn't want me to wear it in public for fear of me being hit on by other women (Not really afraid:)

got this one month when it was the monthly scent. I had forgotten to pick something and had gotten this one. I was throughly surprised by how good it was for being polo since I'm not a fan of polo colognes.

Haven't tried other Polo cologne to compare it to. Although Me and my girl liked the fragrance.

It's alright, but reminds me a lot of Black by Kenneth Cole though it doesn't last as long

Citrus and warm

Really liked the intensity of all the notes together. Wish the scent would last longer though. Over all, would get again.

Love it

Love it but doesn’t last very long!

Didn't like it!

It was ok. Not my favorite. Not my least favorite.

Just common and wanting that wow factor that turn a few heads. And this wasn't it for me

Smells cheap and didn’t last long

It's pretty good. Red is better.

Panty dropper

My husband LOVES IT. He was skeptical to order at first now he gets on looking to see what he wants nexts. Haha.

First cologne i have tried from scentbox. Bought a big bottle before I finished the sample.

Always got good compliments when i wore it.

Didn't last long and there was nothing distinct about it either.

It’s ok not my first choice...

Mellow

I didn't want this but I guess I didn't pick my choice fast enough. I tried it a few days but it does not seem to last very long at all.

Love it! It used to be my everyday wear before I got ScentBox.

Amazing

Amazing fragrance! Great match for me!

I have the big bottle love it.

Scent is good very fresh but lacks longevity and boldness

Excellent

Too warm for my liking. I could see how people would like it though, just not a good fit for me

Meh

This cologne smells amazing

I didn't order this fragrance and I won't to exchange this for one million but can't get a return label.

Nice manly scent.

Great scent,it is most definitely a panny dropper.

Great fragrance.

Love it

Not my favorite

Very nice

I’m out

The stuff was pretty good I like it

I LOVE IT

My Husband loves all of the Polo Fragrance Line. This one was no exception.

Wasn’t sure what I got this month, but WOW, was I pleasantly surprised. Fell in love on the first whiff. Then got a bunch of complements that day.

Very nice smell long lasting many compliments.

Great scent

Love the scent. Long lasting, honestly the best Polo scent.

I did think that this order was going to be something else. I however was pleased when my wife told me that she is in love this fragrance on my person.

Although I had something else on my queue and I received this.. I was a bit disappointed that I didn’t get what I asked for, but was also satisfied that Polo Black had a nice smell.

Perfect scent for an evening out, not strong and overpowering.

Love it

The best

A casual scent from the polo line, it starts with a fruity vibe. Lasts a long time

Not for me. Definitely a manly spicy scent with a bit of sweetness just more of an older crowd favorite versus the younger 18-28 yr olds. Just my opinion.

I love this scent.

Smells great. Very masculine. Does not last very long.

Always has been my favorite!

Love this on my husband!!!

Love this on my husband!

Got this for my son to use and he loves it.

Wonderful!

Just as good as I remember.

Love this on my husband

Perfect product. Took much longer to arrive than stated on webpage.

Polo Black is not the best one from Polo, but is still a nice fragrance, lasts reasonably well and has deodorant available which is a plus for me

IT SMELLS LIKE ROTTEN ORANGES

Not sure how this juice gets any positive rating whatsoever. This stuff smells sickly in my view. Avoid this, especially because it is rather expensive. This scent is awful.

This scent is very similar to many other sweet critrus scents available everywhere. Unlike traditional Polo (the green one), this is definetely not a classic.

I find myself reaching for it in leiu of the other colognes I own. A great purchase.

I rotate wearing a few different colognes depending on my mood, the weather, and what I'll be doing. If I had to pick one scent - and only one - to wear forever it would be Polo Black. I can't even articulate the particular notes I so enjoy - there's a fruitiness that dries into something deep and pleasant. I've noticed that Bvlgari Aqva starts out in a *very* similar manner but dries quite differently (and is not as complex).

This is THE one fragrance where I am asked by a lady "wow....what are you wearing?" Smells Great!!

so now this is something sophisticated and wearable with style. great and even the lasting is good

I have to agree with Barbara W. on the scent. It is on the middle spectrum between Armani Code and KC Black. I prefer Polo Black over both. The fragrance has a unique quality and note that I enjoy. I think it is the iced mango that gives it that certain dark and unique note. I prefer Black over Polo Blue and I have gotten plenty of compliments on the scent. Black is a nightime fragrance, while Blue is a daytime. I am not a fan of Double Black. Polo is a nice, warm, spicy and sweet fragrance. **** stars

I find this scent super sexy on my hubby! There's an ingredient in it that just tugs at my inner female and brings out the tigress in me1 Grrr!

Possibly in the top 3 scents I've ever smelled from RL and the most GQ of them all. Sensuous, sleek and sophisticated scent could easily go up against Armani, Chanel and K. Cole.

I'll be honest...this smells like KC Black, Armani Code. Basically smells like every "fresh" scent out there. Only scents thats are Fresh that dont really resemble this are Aspen, Essential, 212 Men, 212 H2o, and Geir. It is a good smell but for some reason it brings back the whole "smells like everything" smell to me. I personally would prefer Polo Blue to this. It has a Bluer tone to it ( wow...sorry). Much more fresh and a slight aquatic smell and it is longer lasting.

to smell like a dead sexy man.. wear this cologne! I looove it, smells very masculine but not to harsh or overpowering, I want to get closer to any man who smells this good.

really nice floral/fruity with light spicy base, this is not a "black" concept fragance... sure could be with other name and other ad. very youthful and versatile for day or night its ok...but simply not an elegant-formal fragance..

What are the top dark/spicy Black scents? I just want to know what my best choices out there are. Thanks.

As already stated by a reviewer a while back, Polo Black is a cologne which seems to be lacking a proper theme (adverts are misguided on this) and is a concoction of unbalanced and unrefined accords. Haven't yet sampled Double Black so hope that has a bit more character and some distinction. There must be a reason noses at Ralph Lauren chose to upgrade the scent so soon after the first release. Well, my hunt for an edgy 'black' scent continues...

This is a crisp, sophisticated, slightly spicy scent that is great all around. Decent lasting power.

I am sensitive to smells, which sometimes leave me with a headache. This scent for men is not offensive... it is very pleasant, and not over powering like many men's colognes. Makes me want to snuggle closer to my husband. Just recently discovered this....am going to ask my guy to wear this one at night. Doesn't smell synthetic or phoney..... my guy wears this one very naturally. From a woman's perspective, this scent is totally irresistable.

RL Black is nice,very nice....But Double Black will knock your socks off....if you like Armani Code....then you'll love DB....!!

I used Polo Black since it came out, and it's one of my top favorite fragrances. Sexy and sophisticated scent that really attract the ladies. If you love Polo Black, you're gonna love the second one even more... "Polo Double Black", yes, it's here, and believe me you're gonna love it even more than the first one. I hope they will post this new fragrance soon.

This was a little too strong for my taste. Not as strong as the original and not as subtle as Kenneth Cole Black.

this smells great. for me its very different form the Polo Blue. Better worn during evening affairs and cold weather.

Real good modern yuppie scent is the best from the designer but then again I've never really been a fan with exception of his Romance frags. Love the iced mango in this one.

I bought this cologne for my boyfriend who happens to live and die by the "blue" smelling colognes such as "Z" by Zegna, Givenchy Blue Label and Polo Sport. Believe it or not.. he is in love with Polo Black, much to his surprise. He wears it every day and is as addicted to it as I am.

Yes, too me it's better than the original. Not as strong. I often think of the original as a cologne that should only be worn conservatively and during cold weather months. Polo Black is clean and fresh. One of my favs along with Anucci and Delmar

I thought of buying this for my man, is it long lasting? He uses the original Polo, i wonder if he'll like black?

Areas to spray cologne - wrist, elbow pit, behind ear & neck area, behind the knees. Always apply to your hands then to the areas mentioned. If you shave use a aftershave or just a bit of cologne to the face(not much). Don't waste it on your clothes that's ridicules. Most importantly invest in a good cologne/aftershave that works well with your body chemistry.

An excellent cologne that I particularly like wearing on special events. I would rank it next to the Anucci and Delmar. Much better than the Polo Blue. The original Polo is way to strong and overwhelming.

Sexy and aromatic,citrus and fruity.Girls love the scent.Hey guys, get a bottle of this you won't regret it.

the initials are quite good. but the middle and the base notes is smells like a place which is frequently urinated.

Truly the most GQ and sleek of RL's lineup but overall I like it equally as much as Romance Silver and Purple Label.

This fragrance is supposed to smell similar to Kenneth Cole's "Signature" based on what I've read. Although they both have a woody scent, this one's not spicy like the KC fragrance. I chose Polo Black for my husband. Does anyone who's tried both of these know comparisons between the two fragrances? I'm just curious which is better.

if Armani Code were at one end of the spectrum, and KC Black on the other, Polo Black would be right in the middle. Not as spicy as Code, but not as "fresh" as KC's Black. Very well balanced!

Ralph Lauren has crafted a winner with Black. Yes, there are elements in it that have already been "done" before, but the mix of spicy/clean is just about perfect. I think Armani Code is a bit too overpowering, and Kenneth Cole Black is too light and fresh - this one is right in the middle of those two. When I smell this I think of a sophisticated urban man over 30 dressed in a clean black suit (maybe an Armani LOL) with a crisp white shirt. It's modern and sexy. Well done!

I agree with you. I'd much rather smell Pi on my man than this. I expected something more from it and just don't understand what these men are talking about or all the stars. They must be smelling in it something I'm missing. It's an average smelling fragrance at best.

I just bought this cologne and have to say it is one of THE BEST colognes I have smelled. Ralph Lauren sure has his A game on this fragrance. From owning Armani Code, Nautica Voyage & Chanel Sport, RL Polo Black is my top pick of them all. Clean, confident and masculine are what comes to mind when I smell this fragrance. This is for sure going to be a notch above the rest.

There is no theme to this cologne. It reminds me of the boys locker room--a whole bunch of 1990's smells just thrown together.

I KNOW U GUYS ARE PERFUME SPECIALIST.COULD U SUGGEST ME SOME NAMES OF ROMANTIC PERFUMES FOR FORMAL OCCASION. AND CAN U TELL ME WHICH IS BETTER? 'POLO BLACK' OR 'EGIOSTE PLATINUM' ?

Sophisticated but just slightly above average scent. Not bad though. P.E. has yet done it again with the new 360 Black! Haven't smelled it yet but I wonder what it smells like?(hhhmmm?)

"Me" captured what I really wanted to say in his post. It's not a bad scent but it's the wrong concept for what I would consider something called "Black" to be. Polo "Black" should have been more woody, more rich, more spicy, with a little more musk in there somewhere, not necessarily as much as Gucci Por Homme but something a little similar. The only black thing about it is the bottle. This is a nice enough fragrance but the only really rich thing about it is price. It lacks a level of depth to me which is what I would have expected from this one. Others here disagree I see but that's what makes us all disagree. Doesn't deserve all the stars in my humble opinion.

I've been using Polo Black not too long ago, and I have to admit that this is the best cologne ever.

Some good ones out there, well for starters...........the Romances by the same designer, Armand Basi & Basi Homme, the Spark colognes by Liz Claiborne, Signature by St. Dupont and Ungaro III are some suggestions. If anything else, Tony T, W.B./R.J. or some other fanatics may say the same and/or add to those.

what are some of the good recommendations for woody and spicy frangnance out there that are not too strong and long lasting, can u guys please give some suggestions

Just call me stupid, I bought this because of commercial and model. But I really really enjoy it after all.

I am a perfume collector and i have a lot on my closset. I think the new creation of Ralph is kind of boring...and no too much original. Maybe I m wrong, but i waited more from Polo Black.Its not bad, but not good at the same time.

really nice smell i agree, some fruity/ light floral base always is a nice mix and comfortable to wear.. but R.L is wrong with the concept, this is not a elegant-suit fragance.. the smell is very youthful, soft and versatile !

It's a nice smell but I expected a deeper, richer, warmer dry down from this one. I have a small bottle and won't revisit this one again.

The best cologne from the designer as well as the most sophisticated, elegant and professional of them all. RL might be turning into an Armani/Cole type designer.

I bought this for my husband because it smelled so good. When he wears it, it turns me on.

When I first tried this cologne at the dept. store I was a bit disappointed at how mundane it smelled like. But an hour later, while I was shopping, I noticed how sophisticated and mysterious it became. It was like seeing ultimate transformation ^.^ Polo black is definitely a great cologne but not the best for it being a bit overpriced. Only polo cologne that worth its tag price is romance silver, not this one.

i got it for my guy and i just love it. it really get things poping alway. ican't wait to see him again!!

Absolutely the best ever for RL and can stand up to KC's new Signature and Armani's Code. Modern, sophisticated and very sexy!!

Sleek, modern, GQ, sophisticated; the best among RL's lineup possibly even eclipsing Romance Silver.

Has anyone tried the new Dior Homme yet? Polo Black is pretty good too. However, I prefer KC Signature because it is very similar and last longer.

kind of a fruity, spicy mess that doesn't amount to much of anything. To me it just smells like hairspray and doesn't last too long. It's hardly what I would call a "black" scent

Sophisticated selection from RL is some good competition against Kenneth Cole, Armani, Chanel, etc.

I like this one a lot. It's classy, fresh and aquatic with a very faint hint of the original polo. Highly recommended, but I agree with Greg. It won't be long b4 everyone has it on

This is a great scent, but I see this becoming a very common cologne for men. I'll wear it now, but I know that 6 months from now every dude in the club will be wearing this. Like how acqua di gio is now.

I always hated polo with a passion. I always thought of it as cheap and common. Well, till now. I recently tried all the black brands selling now and Polo black was the best one. What a classy scent. I really enjoy the refreshing scent. It's not too strong and it does last on me for a while. It's perfect for a 30 or 40 something that still wants to smell young but still wants a little maturity in his fragrance. Maybe some will argue that fact. But am 30, single, plus still in the game. And Polo Black is helping.

The most modern, sleek, urban and sophisticated of any RL fragrance as well as his best. I think he's trying to give Kenneth Cole a challenge.

Awesome new Polo fragrance is the best in that lineup as well as RL's lineup in general. Sleek and sophisticated.

The latest Polo scent is the most sophisticated fragrance in RL's entire lineup and is in direct competition with Kenneth Cole's latest-Signature. I have the same opinion as far as the targeted age bracket for this one as I do with KC Signature.

Skin has chemistry and clothes don't. Your chemistry could possibly enhance the scent and possibly smell better than others.

everybody here is an expert (in their eyes) but imo it depends on a lotta things. some fragrances last longer than others so for some i do spray on my clothes. the experts say cologne lasts longer when sprayed on hair, i found that that is bs. areas that sweat are the best though such as neck,wrists,behind ears and also palms and behind the knee. expierement and find out what works best for you.

im only 16 years old but i smelled this from a friend of mine and it was great! But just a question... I just started wearing cologne not to long ago... and i was wonderin if you guys have some tips on where to spray it? some people say on your clothes and some people say on your skin... which is better?

THE MOST sophisticated of RL's fragrances and I like it just as much as the Romances although I think those are more of babe-magnets than Polo Black.

on the money creating another great all around fragrance.some might say suit and tie but i don't have a suit and only a clip on tie so i will say for evenings with your lady.ralph has a great oriental which is somehow not on this site and also a great sleeper (purple label)

I TRIED THIS LAST WEEK AND I LIKE THE SCENT, HOWEVER, IT DOESN'T LAST THAT LONG. OTHER THAN THAT, ONE OF RALPH'S BEST.

After hours of surfing online, googling and comparing prices on the new Polo Black..........I ended up stumbling onto this website. To my surprise, not only can I purchase fragrances and other products on this site, but I can always express my thoughts on what I'm wearing. My cologne collection is fairly small at 11 and I'm sure there's a few guys out there who have a hundred or more in their collections. I hope to start posting as much as possible considering I like to go sampling colognes from time to time.

I'm rather impressed with the latest in the Polo lineup. Ralph Lauren has definitely outdone himself this time with this very modern/urban and sophisticated fragrance.

WHAT A GREAT NEW SCENT BY RALPH. WOMEN ALREADY LOVE IT ON ME WHEN I HIT THE CLUBS WEARING THIS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

The ultimate GQ expression in the RL lineup and the best Polo overall. Modern, masculine and highly sophisticated............watchout Mr. Cole!

It's not that great. I didn't like it much when I first smelled it but bought it any way. I always thought Polo was over rated. I guess I just wanted it in my collection.
