Best Polo Blue Parfum by Ralph Lauren Alternatives & Similar Perfumes

Perfumer: Julien Rasquinet.

Naomi Goodsir’s Bois d’Ascese is perhaps the smokiest peaty and charred-whiskey-barrels smelling perfume out there. But the smoke in this fragrance is quite contemplative, it’s not the hints of gunpowder or fireworks, neither is it anything foody. The smoke and woods in this perfume are dry and romantically ascetic, rather introvert and they practice self-discipline.

An intense perfume steeped in steadiness and strength. Built on a fortress base of sweet ten year-aged English Oakwood and resinous wild Labdanum. Spicy Elemi Resin and Black Peppercorn give a floral fire background; Vetyver Root offers power and structure, while exotic hints of Black Cardamom and French Carrot Seed, Osmanthus Flower, and Yerba Maté Leaf play in the background. This is a smooth, suave perfume to be worn with self-assurance.

The moment when the night draws in close, hugging the deliciousness of the evening towards you. Cognac, crème brûlée and coffee blur into guaiac wood and oak, releasing vanilla-tinged smoke in a haze of pleasure. An echo of warmth in the darkness.

Macabre fantasy of decadent shadows and drama, unfolding from a fresh salty breeze to the deep dark underwater with blurry black tones, exuberant flora and a binding touch of wood.

Lids for Dead Air are made by hand from imperfectly beautiful charcoal encapsulated in epoxy resin resulting in unique shapes and shades, each is one of a kind — a true masterpiece.

Rare mizunara oak, used in Japanese whisky barrels, imparts an unusual sandalwood/pineapple undertone to the “water of life” maturing within. This eau de parfum blends the effect of mizunara oaked whisky with the furry, malty smell of chestnut for a moreish, warm experience. Don’t be fooled by the shape of the bottle — this whisky is only for spritzing, not sipping! 

Love around the campfire. Heavily peated, spiced scotch in the wet woods

March 1930, London

A group of architects gather for cocktails at Mayfair's smartest Art Deco smoking room. As they settle in the warm interior of dark woods, leather and velvet, London's bright young things burst in, frosted martinis in hand, surrounded by a cloud of laughter - white smoke and fine vanilla.

A bold, exotic scent that begins with a deep narcotic hit of Nagarmotha Root and dark aromatic Patchouli Leaf, the sharp freshness of Makrut Lime Leaf and the earthy elegance of Vetyver Root from Java, all supported by a luxurious modern Somali Frankincense Resin and warm sweet Moroccan Atlas Cedarwood foundation. Sensual and earthy, with a surprising freshness.

This is a 100% botanical perfume made using only sustainable rare plant ingredients grown for us around the world. It was handcrafted at our Atelier in Berlin.

Inspired by the concepts of “green” and “freedom”, Terra Hedera evokes horseback riding on the Mongolian steppe. A green hyacinth intertwined with tenacious ivy and crisp galbanum.

This is an after-dark jasmine that smoulders, thanks to shadow-dwelling frankincense spiced up with Guatemalan cardamom and Madagascar black pepper. The charm of the char continues with cedarwood and cypress.
