Polo Red Extreme through the year
It is at its best in winter and fall. It is less suited to spring. From best to least suited, the seasons are winter, fall, summer and spring. If you need something for spring, Guerlain Vetiver Guerlain is a better fit. Its warm smell feels best when the weather is cold.
How long it lasts
This is a long lasting scent: expect about 6 to 9 hours on skin. Eau de Cologne is the lightest strength, so a shorter wear time is normal.
