About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Polo Black (2005) is a Pierre Negrin composition that opens with an unusually loaded top accord: mango and tangerine sit alongside lemon and wormwood, with sandalwood, patchouli, tonka bean and sage all listed up front. The result is a bright, tropical-fruity blast that quickly turns woody and sweet — the mango reads loudest, backed by citrus and a green-aromatic wormwood edge. No separate heart or base notes are documented, so collectors should expect the listed materials to carry the whole arc rather than a distinct drydown pyramid.

With accords led by tropical (100%), fruity (96%), woody (93%) and sweet (91%), this is a warm-weather, casual-leaning masculine scent rather than a formal one. It suits collectors who enjoy fruit-forward woods and want a mid-2000s designer reference point from Negrin; those seeking a classic chypre or austere aromatic should look elsewhere. Check batch and bottle condition, as the fruity top is the most fragile part of the composition.

中文簡介

Polo Black(2005)由 Pierre Negrin 調配,木質芳香調但實際氣質偏熱帶果香。香調表將芒果、柑橘、檸檬、苦艾與檀香、廣藿香、零陵香豆、鼠尾草全列於前調,官方未分中、後調,所以收藏者要預期由呢批原料一路貫穿,而唔係有清晰嘅三層金字塔。芒果最突出,柑橘同苦艾帶來微綠嘅芳香邊緣,之後轉甜木質。

主調數據顯示熱帶 100%、果香 96%、木質 93%、甜 91%,屬溫暖天氣、休閒取向嘅男香,唔算正式場合之選。適合鍾意果香木質、想收一支 2000 年代中期設計師香水參考樣本嘅人;追求古典西普或嚴肅芳香調嘅買家就未必啱。選購時留意批次同瓶身狀態,果香前調最易隨時間走樣。
