Inspired by Ralph Lauren Polo Blue.

Aromatic Watermelon is Dossier's fresh outdoor interpretation of Ralph Lauren Polo Blue, combining bergamot, watermelon and cardamom with basil, clary sage, orris and verbena over musk, vetiver, patchouli and amberwood. Product Overview Inspired by Polo Blue, Aromatic Watermelon is designed around cooling fruit and aromatic greenery. Watermelon provides the watery freshness while basil, sage and verbena reinforce the outdoor character. Orris smooths the centre before musk, vetiver and woods create a clean masculine base. Scent Profile The opening is crisp and watery, with bergamot and watermelon providing immediate freshness and cardamom adding light spice. Basil, clary sage and verbena make the middle greener and more aromatic. Musk, vetiver, patchouli and amberwood give the drydown a clean woody finish. Technical Structure and Development The fragrance maintains a cooling effect across most of its development. Rather than becoming sweet, it shifts from watery fruit into herbs and then a restrained woody musk base. Performance Dossier classifies Aromatic Watermelon as Significant intensity at 12 percent concentration. The opening is the most expressive stage, while the aromatic woods provide a cleaner, quieter later trail. Wear Scenarios Aromatic Watermelon is built for: • summer days • office wear • outdoor occasions • casual weekends • warm weather travel Scent Family Positioning This sits in the fresh aquatic aromatic lane, combining water fruit freshness with herbs, vetiver and clean woods.
