Good review and good takes on this. I have worn this in the summer and the problem that I encountered with it is that it becomes really stuffy in the heat on the dry down. It works great in the summer for the top notes, but if its hot, the drydowns gonna kill ya :/
I have a bottle of this, idk why it doesnt last for you but it lasts all day for me. Grt compliments about it all the time asking what im wearing and where i got it. One of my favs. I personally recommend this more for the romantic kinda evening like you said. Love this stuff
finally! a review of this on youtube. You may get alot of views based on the fact that no one else out there has done it yet. I agree w/ you about the top, i loved it when i tested it in the store. Never really thought of it as a summer fragrance. thanks for doing this.
I don't think I will waste my time on this one. I'm not really trying to have a lot of stuff in my collection that I'm not going to wear. Great review as always....I just purchased Kenzo Jungle Poure Homme and Antidote by Viktor and Rolf....I would recommend that you give these a try. They are nice and fresh and off the beaten path.
my friend has this is its very strong,wherever he walks i would know he is there. its pretty darn hot here it malaysia so maybe it projects the smell more.
i have the black and u sounded like u were reviewing it and not the double black. i mean they must be very similar because what u said for the double black pretty much goes for the black too. i've been told that the main difference b/w the 2 is that the double black is stronger.. a stronger version of the black.. thnx for the review man i think ima buy that..love Polo!
the thing with this fragrance is yes it could last longer, but its one of those that you can wear and walk right out the door and meet your date/friends and it wont smell like you just put it on. you dont have to wait for it to calm down like lemale or angel men. so as much as i hated the longevity i found a good use for it.
Ey Brandon! I totally agree with you here - Polo Black is definitely NOT a winter fragrance. But it really shines during the summer. I wore this fragrance during last summer, and I absolutely loved it (and I still do!). It lasted for roughly 12 hours actually, so it's cool enough what comes to the paper sayin' as you were refering to ;) Just tried it today, here during the winter, and I dont get more than 4-5 hours from it. So it's definitely a summer fragrance, and a damn good one! :ø)
I agreed with you about the longevity and projection, but not im starting to change my mind. I gave my father a bottle of this stuff, and i smell it on him pretty damn strong. i asked him when he sprayed it, and he said like in the morning, and it was late evening, and i smelled it on him. I think this stuff might project more than we think.
Solar, I haven't had extensive time w/ DB, but from the testing I did of it at the store it comes off a little more sweet, whereas black has more of a spicyness to it, especially in the opening.
I got polo double black online for a good price. Never smelled it before, So i do not know if its original., But the seller was very high rated on ebay. I also have polo black regular. Honestly, The polo regular black smells better to me. The polo double black i have reminds me of a cheap cologne or something. Like a soapy generic, english leather type smell. Polo black regular seems more masculine and unique.
what about the coffee note? the first thing I noticed when I first sprayed double black was this really nice sweet creamy coffee smell that later on dries down to the peppery mango citrus smell that you mention. by the way, I have days when double black lasts more than 10 hours on my skin...sure it might be a bit faint during those last few hours, but it's noticeable. but thanks for the review man, keep it up.
@CutlassSupremeSL Well...it's definitely summertime now!! Does the Polo Double Black smell better? Does it project better? I really like your reviews, by the way. Keep on doing them!!!
ill be honest with you. My double black has pretty good proj/longevity. For me if u took these Proj/long ratings and swapped them with burberry london, it would fit more for me. Id give london a c and d, and this id give a b to.
Brandon is abso-freakin'-lutely right...the drydown is "blah". The top notes are it...and they last about an hour on my skin. Very sexy, but very disappointing in the longevity and projection.
Polo Explorer is a sandalwood frag. Sandalwood frags end up smelling either way to sweet or moldy sour. Polo Explorer will opens up real nice then goes moldy sour. The only sandalwood I'v ever smelled that was out of this world good was Santal Noble by maitre parfumeur et gantier. you'll get a lot of coffee with it too but worth the 120$ unlike a creed or Bond No. 9.
@3eb23 I got Polo Explorer at marshalls for the same price. For me personally, i don't like it. Many reviews say its a nice fragrance but it just doesn't work for me. It may smell good for you, but i don't fiind it that good.
Hey Brandon what do you think of Polo Explorer? Have you smelled that? I saw it in Marshall's for like $25 and being a huge fan of Polo Blue and the brand in general I was tempted to get it.

What age group do you think this fragrance suits best? I'm turning 21 in may, do you think I could pull this off? From the notes it sounds like a darker spicy scent. I dont want to smell like an old man lol, I think you know what I mean :D
@CutlassSupremeSL Not ALL Polo colognes suck, by the way. You're trying the wrong ones.....seriously!!! Polo Explorer is the absolute BEST line of fragrances Polo EVER put out!!! It smells great and stays on my skin for a long time!!!
So is it me or is this the WORST named fragrance of all time. As it sounds to me, there is nothing "black" about this fragrance. You'd expect some dark notes of Leather or Cummon, or cinnamon, not mango lol. Brandon do u agree?
I'm not a fan of this fragrance. I had a sample of it and it smelled like soap and baby powder. I'm not a fan of Polo Blue, Polo Green or Polo Double Black. Polo Blue was way too musky and flat.
