Overhyped and borderline dishonest fragrance
I had to return my bottle of Polo Blue Parfum and I will try to outline why I think you should definitely not purchase this fragrance.
Firstly, I am a fan of Polo Deep Blue , I have two bottles of it. The performance is average on skin but it does last a good amount of time on clothes. So there's that.
Unfortunately, Polo Blue Parfum is not only a very basic, uninspiring fragrance but it also have an abysmal performance for something that presents itself as above eau de cologne concentration.
I purchased the bottle from a reputable source, never had an issue with them, it was original and no problems with packaging or transportation.
It smells exactly like an expensive and refined Gillette shaving foam but also like a drugstore fragrance. It is well blended, for whatever can be smelled out of it and it's not much, but there is absolutely no way so many notes were used into this fragrance. They could have mentioned only 3 notes and it would have been sufficient: mandarin orange, soap, woods. The rest of it is all marketing.
But the real problem is that this fragrance does not do anything at all. I am dead serious. You will see people on the internet saying that they like it but they have to spray twice in the same spot or others that sprayed it and couldn't sense anything, I was one of them.
From the moment of application you can barely smell it for like 20-30 minutes and then it becomes very close to the skin. You will detected it like 2 hours on the skin, maybe. I sprayed in spring 2 sprays on my t-shirt, not too cold, not too hot, just a tad of wind outside but not much. After 4-5 hours after coming back home from mall shopping, I smelled my t-shirt and I could sense the detergent that was used to wash it!
But all things considered, definitely Polo Blue Parfum is a dishonest parfum concentration in both longevity and intensity. It's bad fragrance in general that I cannot recommend and I really can't understand how the fragrance community votes are so high on it.
Like someone mentioned below, you are better off with something cheap like Chrome Extrême
