How others read it
PraiseIconic masculine green/pine/leather/tobacco DNA. Strong vintage aura and heritage feel. Alexandria page emphasizes long-lasting projection and timelessness.
CriticismCan smell dated or aggressive to modern noses. Oakmoss/leather/tobacco density may be too mature. Vintage-profile claim is not the same as verified original 1978 formula reconstruction.
Comparison notesVintage 1978 should be treated as a Polo 1978-style profile target. Current Ralph Lauren Polo EDT confirms the core identity but not exact vintage formula continuity.
