[Music]
welcome back to another video i'm max
forte today we're going to be reviewing
the new polo rad parfum 2020 release
from ralph lauren
if you guys like to make a great first
impression smelling good is definitely a
great way to start
since the inception of the original polo
rad back in 2013 we've had
five flankers in this particular line of
fragrances including the latest one the
2020 part foam which we'll be covering
today
we've had extreme or extrem we've had
intense we've had remix we had
rush in which i didn't really care much
for rush or remix intense is actually
quite good it's very
sweet it's very intense when it comes to
the sweet facet i don't currently own a
bottle of that but i am
thinking about bringing into my red
collection because it's one that i do
enjoy
but extrem is going to be a little
heavier a little bit more resinous
amping up the coffee note in dark ebony
woods so it's definitely my favorite in
the collection here
and the original had that red coffee
accord
it had the cranberry which is actually
very nice as well but enough of that
let's dive into the 2020 release and see
how good this one is or how it compares
or if it borrows
elements from other releases of this
lineup so this
literally just hit shelves this past
july but the funny thing is you can't
already find this at this counters i was
able to pick up mine at my discounter
my favorite discounter which i'll talk
to you guys about later in this video
but needless to say it retails in two
different sizes you have the 75 mil that
you've seen here in this video and the
125 ml
and the prices are respectively 77 for
the smaller
or 99 for the 125 ml and you can find
this readily available at your local
sephora at your local macy's or general
store
most general stores carry raw flooring
and raw floor in goods and fragrances
and start with the presentation the box
is really cool it borrows elements from
the original
uh lion you know polo green except for
instead of the green and the gold it's
got
red and silver embellishments the bottle
is actually pretty cool but not as nice
as i anticipated i thought it was going
to be more of a metallic or shimmery
uh shimmering kind of a kind of a red
this is more of a dull rat it is
see-through
uh the cap is nothing spectacular it's a
light metal with plastic interior lining
it's got the rl for ralph lauren
insignia up top
the sprayers are not too bad it does the
job it's pretty good
but the scent itself is actually what
we're here for the new red bar foam is a
woody
spicy fragrance and the nose behind this
one i'm not too sure it might be carlos
benign but i don't know don't quote me
on that i couldn't find the nose or the
perfumer
with my searches if you guys do know the
nose behind this particular fragrance be
sure to share it in the comments below
polaroid parfum is being
marketed or it's been released by
l'oreal which is the parent company of
this particular line of fragrances let
me give myself a
fresh miss here to give you guys my
introduction again remind myself
so off the bat the fragrance is going to
open up
very very nice if you're looking for
something pleasant if you're looking for
something mass appealing
even sensual and playful and sweet that
fragrance will check all those boxes
however if you're looking for something
right off the bat that's groundbreaking
something that's going to be different
from what's been done out there over the
past five years or so
this is not going to be it if you have a
seasoned nose if you have a large
collection
look elsewhere this is not going to be a
fragrance that perhaps will inspire you
the smell here is rather redundant it's
one of those fragrances that you've
tried before it's definitely going to be
familiar to your nose if you tried a lot
of the releases over the past few years
it's going to have that ambroxan
wood or amber wood type of a sweetness
to it it is quite mass appealing it's
very sweet up top
definitely detects some tonka here tonka
bean and so it's going to have a lot of
those familiar
aromas and familiar nuances that we've
come to expect over the past few years
in fragrance designer releases
so let me digress the fragrance opens up
fruity with grapefruit some ginger and
that cranberry note that they put into
this particular creation
that cranberry note adds a smidge of a
soury
type of a vibe to the scent sweet and
sour type of a thing that fruity that's
sweet and sour but not too much
it's more in the background what really
jumps here is that i'm boxing with that
tonka vibe which is sweet it's a little
bit creamy
very mass appealing but again not very
uh inspiring if you will
as you're getting into the middle of the
fragrance you know the heart of this
about 15-20 minutes into it i have to
dry down here
so the actual mid of the scent will add
some herbal components there's clary
sage in here which adds a little bit of
a
green type of a feel to the scent
there's also lavender here which adds a
little bit of a powdery feel
slash creaminess very appealing if you
like lavender type scents it's going to
have that
creaminess that calming effect that's
sweet and a little bit powdery
facet that you get with barbershop feel
fragrances you're going to get a little
bit of that here but again
that umbrox and that sweet tonka will
definitely be
front and center here overpowering all
of that but you do get in the heart some
of those you know
green herbal and powdery lavender
nuances as well in the scent i have to
dry down on this hand
30 minutes or so into the fragrance you
are going to approach the dry
down area of the fragrance you know the
transition of the fragrance which is
really not much it's mostly a linear
scent with minute
transitions and the dry down is going to
bring again
more of the umbrox and sweet tonka vibe
which is really now going to take
center stage and control and that's what
you're going to
really get throughout the life of the
fragrance from the 30 minute mark on so
that's sweet ambery
woodsy sweet tonka slash umbroxen vibe
that's screaming that's appealing um it
smells good it's definitely going to
garner you some compliments but it's
nothing
new it's nothing that hasn't been done
before it's another one of those
been there done that releases of 2020
unfortunately i wish i was the bearer of
great news here
but you know i think you're much better
off with
earlier releases of this particular line
this is definitely one of those
cookie cutter slash money grabs type of
releases
so three words that i would use to
summarize and give you guys more of a
descriptive uh you know feel to this
fragrance the polo red part from 2020
it is sweet it's youthful and it's mass
appealing
so i'm going to give you guys a quick
comparison here to other releases and
also talk to you guys about what this
fragrance reminds me of in the dry down
apart from all the things i talked about
the creaminess the powder is the
lavender the ambroxan and sweet tonka
the dry down of this fragrance
has facets and resemblances with
invictus from paco rabanne
not much it's about maybe 70 percent
close to invictus so
this to me this release here is the
answer of ralph lauren to
a very popular scent profile of paco
rabons in invictus
or invictus aqua this particular
fragrance will have
some of that dna in the dry down but
also borrows elements from
polo red not so much the extreme here
you're going to have some of that vibe
with that cranberry
mostly the cranberry other than that
it's its own fragrance but again
boring elements from a lot of the
fragrance releases over the past few
years
even like some zaro wanted by night vibe
here in the middle
you know again ton of that sweet creamy
umbroxen slash
tonka vibe here perhaps even some
sandalwood here to add some some
creaminess that i've talked about but
then you really get that lavender
powdery
uh depending on your skin chemistry
you're going to get more or less of that
powderiness that i got
on my skin but all in all nothing new
nothing groundbreaking nothing
inspiring here a very dull a very uh
boring if you will release for 20 20
definitely
not anywhere near my favorites for
favorite releases if you will of 2020 so
far definitely something that i would
not
number one encourage you to blind buy
number two
if you are picking this up definitely
don't pick it up at retail because
it's definitely not worth 77 or 99
dollars for the bigger bottle
this is already found at discounters i
was able to find mine at my partner
fragrancebuy.ca you can pick this up for
a bargain again i'm going to have the
link below if you guys want to check it
out
feel free to do so but even at that you
know for me it's a pass
when it comes to new releases of 2020.
performance you know having said all
that performance is not all that bad i
got about
five to six hours on average with this
fragrance if you spray your clothes it's
going to get to six to seven hours
which is not bad you can get a day's
work and as far as occasions i think or
seasons first i think this is good for
all year round it's really versatile in
that sense but because it's more
on the sweeter side of things i would
say spring and fall perhaps or the best
summer time this can get a little bit
too sweet um too sickly sweet especially
if you over spray
but if you're going into a night event
if you're going to a dinner or romantic
setting or date setting i think this
will do quite well
this is much better for people that are
youngsters out there i think are going
to appreciate more of the scent profile
of the red
line from ralph lauren i think that's
what they're aiming for if you're still
going clubbing if you like to go to a
lounge
and grabbing a drink going to a bar
romantic dates if you're somebody that's
you know actively dating right now
i think this will fit you perfectly or
somebody that's in high school looking
for a good scent for night night life
night wear
i think this will do good however again
don't pay retail
and perhaps try it on your skin first to
make sure you like it if you don't have
fragrances of this genre in your
collection yet
this will be a good addition to your
wardrobe it doesn't smell bad by any
stretch of the imagination it smells
good
it's a pleasant scent it's gonna pull
some compliments but again if you have a
vast collection if you have a very
seasoned nose if you're experienced in
the fragrance community
you're not gonna love this fragrance
because again it's been there done that
type of ascent
as you could imagine my final thoughts
on polo rad par from 2020 is not the
greatest one i think it's an okay
release
like i said it smells good perhaps give
it a try you might love it
but when it comes to everything that
polo has to offer i think this is
definitely way in the back
from my you know picks that i would you
know probably continue to have in my
wardrobe i would not pick another bottle
of this particular fragrance perhaps
i'll even give this one away
uh it's definitely not my favorite from
the red line comparing to the other two
reds i think this is a much better scent
it's got more wood it's spicier
longer lasting love that coffee
cranberry
a core that you get up top it's a lot
more um
there's a lot more going for this
particular fragrance when it comes to
woody spicy scents this isn't the same
vein
as a woody spicy but a lot less
fragrance that you're getting here than
you'd get here and you can get this for
a much
better price proposition for a big
bottle like this and of course my
favorite i have a full review on this
one i'm going to pop it up here so you
guys if you want to check it out this is
definitely my favorite
to this day from the red line this has a
very beautiful dark
coffee note along with dark ebony woods
it's definitely a lot more spicier a lot
more woodier even
oriental spicy territory almost
gourmand it's one of my favorites i
definitely love to wear this when the
weather gets
colder out perhaps we'll even make my
top full or winter this year you know
probably looking to
wear this again i haven't wore this much
uh in the past year or so but it's
definitely a great one and i suggest if
you're going into the red line
this is definitely a great one to start
in the red line or perhaps the first one
the intense is going to be a lot more
intensified in the sweeter notes
especially in the tonka
so if you like sweet loud fragrances for
clubbing stuff definitely go for the
intense
but this one here unfortunately a hard
pass not one that really impressed me
for 2020.
again link below guys if you want to
check this out fragrance buy that state
has it in stock for
a really really good deal if you're
looking to pick it up if you collect uh
raw flooring fragrances if you're into
the red line you want to pick it up
