Polo Red Extreme is the newest men’s fragrance from Ralph Lauren Fragrances. Extreme is a powerful, masculine scent designed for the thrill-seeker who pushes limits to the edge and thrives on extreme sensations. Building on the winning formula of Polo Red, this addictive men’s scent offers a fiery mix of vibrant blood orange, rich black coffee essence, and black ebony wood.
Polo Red Extreme is composed of:
TOP NOTES: Blood Orange Accord, Red Ginger, Red Pineapple Accord
MID NOTES: Black Coffee Essence, Red Saffron, Red Sage
BASE NOTES: Black Ebony Wood Accord, Ambery Woods Accord, Cocoa Absolute
Hand selected by master perfumer Olivier Gillotin, these new ingredients channel the thrill of pushing limits and sensations to the extreme. To add a jolt of energy, Gillotin uses a high level of natural coffee, as well as a special technique of coffee C02, giving the impression of freshly ground smooth coffee beans. Blood orange adds energizing freshness, while black ebony woods create long-lastingness and warmth. The result, Gillotin says, is an “intoxicatingly bold and rugged scent.”
I personally like my scents light, smooth, and not overbearing; Extreme is just what the perfumer gods ordered for me. I think the scent is damn near perfection. All you need is maybe one or two good sprays and you’re set for the rest of the day.
This incredible scent is housed in a matte black bottle, featuring a high gloss red pony, captures the modern masculinity of the fragrance. To coincide with the launch of Polo Red Extreme, Ralph Lauren Fragrances held an exclusive launch party at The Garage in New York City on Thursday night. Guests enjoyed light bites, cocktails, a fun photobooth, and so much more. Attendees were also treated to a first look a new heart-racing short film directed by Bruce Weber with actor Luke Bracey, the new face of Polo Red. An action sports enthusiast and star of the 2015 film `Point Break,’ brings speed, adrenaline, and energy to the film. Kenneth Guidroz accompanies Bracey in the film as the two men challenge each other to a thrilling race and extreme stunts on motorbikes. Franz Ferdinand’s hit song Take Me Out sets the tone for the electrifying ride.
