Polo Oud vs Acqua di Giò Profumo

The community has cautiously mixed feelings about Polo Oud, with interest in the concept but skepticism about its execution. While some found the initial samples appealing, there are concerns that the full release may lack distinctiveness and fail to deliver something truly special compared to Ralph Lauren's existing oud offerings.

Acqua di Giò Profumo is appreciated for its fresh, aquatic character with incense notes and is considered a solid designer choice worthy of serious collections. However, the community consensus indicates significant longevity issues that don't match expectations for a Profumo concentration, making it better suited for clothing application or frequent reapplication.
