The power of the ocean has served as a muse for many. Now its the inspiration behind the latest addition to Ralph Lauren Fragrances bestselling Polo Blue franchise, Polo Deep Blue Parfum. It captures the ocean in a bottle with its fresh, invigorating scent. For Polo Deep Blue Parfum, I was inspired by the natural beauty of islands, says Carlos Benaim, Master Perfumer, Polo Deep Blue Parfum. The starting point was the break of the waves on a tropical beach. I wanted to recreate the smell of sea spray in the air mixed with dewy fruits. I chose sparkling citrus and dewy Hawaiian mango to capture the invigorating effect triggered by the wavesa certain form of fluidity, almost liquidity. The heart of the fragrance translates the crashing waves, the power of seawater with a marine salty effect at the heart. To me, it is a true representation of the energy of the islands through its primal natural elements.
