Which Ralph Lauren Polo Blue is your favorite? Hi and welcome back to Ellie Smells
and today I'm really excited to be bringing the latest fragrance from
Ralph Lauren, which is the Ralph Lauren Polo Ultra Blue. So don't forget to Like
and subscribe. But now on to a little bit about Ralph Lauren himself. so Ralph
Lauren was born in 1939 in the Bronx in New York and after a brief career in the
army, he then went on to become a salesman for Brooks Brothers which were
a glove manufacturers and then on to becoming a Salesman
for a tie manufacturers. He actually made and is responsible for, designing
the first kipper tie which is a really wide necked tie for men. Then in 1967 he
started the Ralph Lauren corporation. In 1968 he started creating for his
own line of fashion wear incorporating the polo into it as well, and his first
outlet was actually Bloomingdale's where he was the first fashion designer to
have his own boutique within that store. Then in 1986 he actually started his
own standalone stores. So that's just a little bit about where Ralph
Lauren comes from and he's now living the American dream, and a lot of people
aspire to that.
Now on to the bottle. A little bit about this, it reminds me of a hip
flask it's that sort of shape, it's got a lovely silver stopper but the
sides of the bottle are almost like a cobalt blue and then the main feature of
the bottle is like a very see-through lighter blue and it has the Polo logo
actually on the front. Just out of interest, the Polo logo is the second
most recognized logo in the whole world, coming after coca-cola. So that's the
bottle, quite easy to hold, nice and tactile. Now on to the fragrance, so
this fragrance was launched February 2018
and this one is classed as an aromatic. Let's spray.
The ultra blue is the third in the line from the Polo Blues. Starting with
the original Polo blue EDT and then to the Polo blue Eau de Parfum and this is
the latest release. When I smell this first of all, smells really fresh, zesty
and lemony and also with a salty hit. It just reminds me of Daniel Craig
coming out of the water in Casino Royale in those lovely little trunks! But the
top notes in this one are really clean. You've got lemon, you've got Citron,
you've also got a hint of that herb, which is the basil and also verbena.
Verbena is like a green leafy plant and the leaves smell of lemon. So really
fresh and summery and sunshiny. Then in the heart notes, you definitely get a
hint of these salty minerals and also there's something called ambertonic in
there, which is a two molecule creation which makes it warm, ambery and musky.
So that combined with the citrus and zesty top notes, make it really really
fresh and sort of zingy, lovely. And then in the base,
you've got the heavier notes of wood, such as cedar, you've also got musk and then
you've got a really, sort of like deep hit of the salt. So it makes it like a
really marine fresh, like a salty sea. Again ladies, it's just like Daniel Craig
coming out of the water. So I might have to make Tim spray some of this on him!! (laugh)
As this particular fragrance dries down, the salt tends to come through
more, the lemon tends to sort of like settle, so it just makes it warm, very
very clean, very subtle. I would say that this one actually, reminds both Tim and
myself, of the is Issey Miyake and also some of the Carolina Herrera fragrances.
But I also think it smells like the Allure Homme Sport for men, which has those
citric, zesty top notes as well. So if the gentleman is looking for something that's
going to be really easy to wear, something that's not going to be too
heavy for the summer, but just going to give him that really sort of light, nice
fresh, clean, sort of energetic fragrance this one's a really nice one to go for, I
think. Especially if he is a lover of the fresh, clean fragrances anyway. I
think that's going to do really well. At the moment because it's just literally
come in to stores, there is a promotion with the umbrella, which is a gift with
purchase which is a fantastic umbrella. We're all loving it. It's got like a
resin almost wooden handle on it. It's full-size so it's going be ideal for
those spring/ summer showers. So, if you're fortunate enough to
be anywhere near a department store where you can actually find this, and
you're thinking about buying it, Go and make your purchase, so that you get
your free gift which is fantastic. We did actually do a bit of a comparison,
between the new Ultra Blue and also the Ralph Lauren Polo Blue EDP. Now the EDP version
has more spices in it, such as Clary Sage, Cardamom which make it warmer more spicy.
So definitely, I think if the gentleman likes something which is going to last
on his skin longer, sort of have more impact, spicier, fresher the Eau
de Parfum would be the one to go for. After trialling these, Tim originally
liked the Eau de Parfum but then going back to it, he liked the way that the
Ultra Blue settled on his skin once it is completely dried down. Basically
it's whatever their preference would be, but both of these, the gift with
purchase, if you were to buy one you would get the umbrella. So always really
good to sort of like compare and try them on the blotter and on the skin, and
hopefully, the gentleman in your life would like one of these. That's it
for now anyway on Ellie Smells, don't forget to Like and subscribe and check

Daniel is that a wrap? Oops! sorry...Tim.
