  Very potent and high quality; people keep commenting on it. The longevity and projection are top-notch. Right now it’s hard to find, and the price has skyrocketed.

  It’s a beast, first-rate quality, and I’m getting compliments left and right. The longevity and projection never fail. It’s a nightmare to find these days, and the price has gone up massively.

  Starts with basil and bell pepper, a curious blend that’s neither sweet nor overly vegetal. Forget the coniferous or mentholated touch of the original Polo Green. Half an hour in, jasmine and pepper take over. By two hours, the jasmine lingers with a powdery nuance that strangely reminds me of Burberry’s Weekend for Men, even though that scent doesn’t list jasmine. At four hours, the jasmine joins a light vetiver and some patchouli. By ten hours, the dry-down smells more like Polo Green, but simplified: soft woods, patchouli, suede, and perhaps a resinous hint that could be myrrh. Despite being called ‘Polo Modern Reserve,’ I don’t feel it’s a modernized or simplified version of the classic; it’s almost a different fragrance. Those ‘half-measures’ don’t convince everyone: traditionalists reject it, while younger folks might find it lacks modernity. Still, it’s a good woody, soft scent—less complex than Polo Green but more accessible. Ideal for those who dislike today’s sweet, commercial perfumes but find traditional Polo too dated. It has good moderate sillage and lasts over 12 hours. Without the dense, resinous notes of the traditional Polo, I see it as perfect for spring, summer, daytime wear, and formal occasions.
