Starts out soapy with added mint, citrus and a spicier base addition of patchouli and pink pepper, akin to Bleu De Chanel EDP and Versace Eros. By all means, it has the woody cranberry coffee DNA of the original, but only about 1/3rd of the scent is the original notes.
Rather light, but enjoyable, and the scent takes Polo Red into a vein where it can compete with Versace Eros and Blue de Chanel and possibly even Invictus and Sauvage, however it’s much lighter than all the others mentioned. Spray heavy with this one. Overall, the scent is great, but the longevity is about 4 1/2 hours on my skin and projection is low to moderate and shortlived before turning into a skin scent.

Very weak fragrance not worthy of a purchase. Highly disappointed with this one.

Let’s be honest.
It’s a simple mass appealing fragrance.
I don’t think anyone will have anything negative to say about this but that’s the problem.
It doesn’t break any new ground.
Safe buy for anyone between the ages of 16-35yr.

Nice scent, not something I’d buy a large bottle of because it’s not really my type, but still a nice scent. It’s strong and green. I sprayed it into the bend of my arm at Sephora in the early afternoon and still smelled it when I went to bed much later. It outlasted the 4 other scents I sprayed on except for Tom Ford Soleil Blanc. I give it 8.8/10.

Boring and weak. Lasts like 3 hours. So much other fragrances you can spend your money on.

Opening smells identical to the dry down of Chanel Allure Homme Sport eau Extreme, only with really soft projection. Only my second time trying this, though. If it performed anywhere near Chanel I’d buy this today, but so far it doesn’t look promising. Great scent, but probably WAY too weak. I’ll update this later after more wearings!

If you want to smell like spicy rubbing alcohol, then definitely pick this one up. Otherwise, my $2.00 bathroom hand soap I got from walmart smells better than this. The first impression I get when I tried it in the store was that Ralph Lauren tried to copy YSL’s Y, but more harsh with a strong alcohol scent that takes a while to settle down. Very lazy effort from Ralph Lauren trying to make a quick cash grab.

I’ve yet to smell a cologne from RL that actually smells good or of quality. lol

No one would ever think that this smells expensive. It smells like a drugstore cologne aisle circa 1995. I admit that I am not a Polo fragrance fan, but I really did approach this one with an open mind. I was ready for them to make something modern and trendsetting, and they failed.

( Going off a sample)
To my nose this was just a quick money grab and in a nutshell this a more sweet,slightly stronger,flatter version of Polo Red. It smells as if you had a bottle of Polo Red and let it out in the sun for too long. It’s a definite pass for me !
Performance was 4-6 hours with good projection for an hour and then just a scent bubble after that but a decent scent bubble though.
Overall rating —6.5 outof 10 ! Ok scent but if your going to do a flanker make it different enough to be relevant or at least if the scent is going to be close than make an improved composition. I highly prefer the OG over this.
Sidenote— Fiancee thought it was ok but it would be better if the sweetness was toned down. She did advise me NOT to buy this.lol

I am an avowed cologne snob. Creed, Bond, Tom Ford. You get the picture… Having said that, this cologne by Polo, Red Rush, reminds me of a skin scent version of Creed Aventus! They do, in fact, share some notes, namely Cedar, Musk, Apple, Pineapple, and some citrus. I layered this over Mr. Fine’s “Platinum” After Shave (fashioned after Aventus), and it was amazing and smooth. The price is on point, too — you won’t have to mortgage the house to buy a bottle. And, the bottle is cool — a translucent grey. There’s nothing NOT to like. Enjoy!

My local Dillard’s is offering free samples of this in anticipation of its release in August. The opening is promising and fresh, adding a new (albeit short-lived) dimension to the original Polo Red. The top notes last all of about 5 minutes on my skin before retreating into the familiar sweet and fruity drydown of its predecessors. The differences are barely noticeable: I detect a touch of pineapple in place of the coffee note.
This is a pleasant and thoroughly accessible fragrance overall, but would be a redundant purchase for anyone who already owns either the original or Intense versions. It’s different enough from the Extreme version, but honestly I’m not sure where they were going with this. For my part, I’m at least grateful that the mandarins at Ralph Lauren have thus far been merciful enough to spare us from an ambroxan bomb.

Purchased RR, this afternoon…very similar to the original Polo Red. Replace the cranberry with apple, and add more musk…and I think you have this one. I kind of feel this one is a bit more spicy. Very wearable…smells great…HIGHLY recommend…
EDIT: The more I wear this, the more I realize it smells very different from the other reds. The middle notes with the mandarine, apple, musk are quite nice…
BTW – the RL.com says “red coffee accord” is also a base note…strange it is not listed on fragrantica…

I don’t notice any difference between this and polo red. IMO, they are one and the same. It’s gone way too quickly. I’m done with POLO scents.

I bought this last week, it’s a citrus airy kind of scent, it smells like polo red mixed with chocolate. It has a faint soft smell, that changes through the hour. This is not better than intense or extreme. Maybe if they make a Parfum version of this , it would be much better. It’s almost smells like a gourmand citrus. It doesn’t last as long as extreme and does not smell better. Someone wake me up when polo does flanker for the great polo extreme
0mg.Wtf – :
Not bad. Smells similar to the Chanel allure sport collection

Before the trolls start…this is a VERY good fragrance in the vein of 1 million Lucky. Bottle worthy. I caught a carded sample from Dillard’s.

Polo Red Rush opens with a blast of sweetness, but a lighter and less syrupy-sweetness than Red Intense. The musky base mingles with the orange and pineapple top notes and gives an impression similar to Red Extreme, but lighter.
It’s similar, in the middle, to original Red, but the addition of apple plays nicely with the saffron, and keeps the fragrance “lighter.”
The base isn’t as good as any of the previous Reds, and I find myself missing the strong amber and coffee notes that other Reds feature so prominently.
First impression: I don’t love it as much as i was hoping i would, from seeing the new notes that were added. I’m also not sure it’s different enough from the existing Reds to be necessary.
For what it’s worth, I rank the previous Reds:
Red Intense
Red
Red Extreme

I just got a sample at Belk. It’s very nice. It’s citrusy and fresh, a very nice fragrance. I will update it’s longevity and performance. My initial impression is it is very good based on just it’s scent. I’m pulling for Ralph Lauren on this one, I was disappointed in the last release.

Why to many flankers I already have 3 differnt red versions come on Ralph give us something original, or at least bring back chaps

Testing it right now on a strip- has the intensity and cleanliness of red but lightened up with the fresh crispness of blue. Opens a little bit like they mixed them together sans the cucumber but I still see why this is part of the red line and not a standalone. As its drying down im getting a Sauvage vibe. This scent is fresh and clean and i’m not really getting any harsh standout citrus or fruit notes in particular. Maybe the grapefruit rounds them out but that might be different on skin.
This doesn’t seem groundbreaking but for polo its pleasant and ill sample again
