  This extinct masterpiece passed without much fuss in perfumeries a couple of years ago at the end of the last century, but it left an indelible mark on me, to the point that I have half a bottle of after-shave saved to keep it. It was a fragrance that rebelled against everything and everyone: against its time and the market (1998, the peak of ADG and aquatic clones), against its name (if you were given a strip to smell, the last thing you’d say is that it’s a Polo Sport), and even against its creator (RL is associated with ‘friendly’ or ‘crowd-pleasing’ scents, which is the exact opposite). For going against the grain, it got a quick thumbs down. The closest thing I smelled was Encre Noire, though very different; Ralph’s is much fresher and ‘extreme’, I suppose due to the mint and sclarea.

  Ufff… THE PERFUME! I can’t believe it’s no longer manufactured. It was my favourite from the moment I discovered it until it became unavailable. I never found a similar scent. I think the last one I had was in 2004 or 2005. Pure nostalgia for this monster.

  Top fragrance, I used it from the year 2000 until approximately 2006. That year I couldn’t restock it because I couldn’t find it anywhere in Buenos Aires. Fortunately, while visiting small perfumeries (I always find discontinued treasures), I found one with a well-sealed bottle of Polo Sport Extreme. I bought three units at a very good price. Now I still enjoy this jewel.

  Extreme Polo Sport by Ralph Lauren. What a fragrance! I picked it up on offer along with a clothing set and stumbled upon the last little tube, full of dust, in a local perfumerie. I grabbed it for the price and because it was Ralph Lauren. Upon spraying, it delivered a brutal impact: black pepper, nutmeg, and cilantro dominated everything, even reaching a spicy kick. After a few minutes, it turned spicy, with very prominent notes of chilli and cypress. It lasted for hours and everyone kept asking what I was wearing. What a shame they discontinued it, just like Hilfiger Athletics. It was the last RL fragrance made by the American house under licence (I believe Corsair) before L’Oréal took over. It was a men’s fragrance, before the ‘unisex’ trend that has so ruined the market. What a pity they don’t make jewels like this anymore. If I saw it again, I’d buy it without hesitation. 10/10
