Ralph Lauren Ralph Deep Blue
Ralph Lauren's Polo line has been a staple of men's fragrance since the 1970s, evolving from the classic green Polo to a series of aquatic interpretations. In 2020, the brand released Polo Deep Blue (also marketed as Ralph Deep Blue), an Eau de Parfum that aims to refresh the aquatic genre with a tropical twist. With its blend of Hawaiian green mango, citrus, and a crisp marine base, this scent is positioned as a daytime, warm-weather companion.
