Bought all 3 Polo fragrances last time. Gold lasts the longest, deep blue the shortest. Deep blue is very mild from the beginning.
For reference, I've been using the Polo blue, both EDP and EDT, since last 15 years. As such I was very excited to try the other "Blue" fragrances but they just don't feel as good as the original Polo Blue.
IMO - the only great deal on here is Armani Code Absolu.... absolutely one of THE BEST fall/winter designer fragrances.
As far as Polo Deep Blue... I'd rather spend 3-minutes hunting down a 35% off coupon and spend the additional $10 and get D&G Light Blue Intense which is a KILLER blue summer scent (https://www.fragrancenet.com/colo...m#296469).
I WOULD NOT blind buy Polo. The only blind buy worthy one on this deal is the Code Absolu.
how about the 8oz polo for $62? do other "reputable" places have anything similar price wise? Armani is not even part of this sale (i know it was on the earlier one you posted)

I saw this sale earlier today and they had Armani for 62 bucks.
I wouldn't blind buy the Polo.
Just a thought... I would recommend going to a Macy's, Sephora, Ulta, etc. and try out some fragrances there (they have testers). If that isn't convenient, try out a website like https://www.scentsplit.com/ - you can buy a bunch of frags in small sizes and be confident you're buying decants of the genuine frags and not fakes.
The website I posted is reputable... that one, fragranceX, fragrancebuy.ca... there's perfumania on eBay. They don't charge retail prices because they typically buy their stock from other areas of the world where the designers charge a lot less (for example, the Middle East is a large source). Same exact fragrance, just being sold at a much lower price. Doesn't make sense but that's the way it works for pretty much all designer frags except for Chanel and a couple of others.
What kind of scent are you looking for? Specific season? Specific type of smell? Maybe I can lob a couple ideas in your direction of frags that are pretty likeable and friendly to most environments.
Armani Code Absolu 3.7oz is OOS on Macy's but Amazon seem to have the same for $58.90 with 5% S&S. Also, Amazon says "Parfum" not "Eau de Parfum" so probably higher concentration an even better deal?

A lot of the fresh type colognes dont wear off that fast, its just your nose and anyone around you gets used to it very quickly like 2-3 minutes and you can no longer smell it. On average most types of this cologne should be noticeable after the fact for about 5 hours on average. Its very normal for that type of nose response with something that's not a strong musk type of cologne. If someone clears their palette with coffee beans or something also very sharp and take another whiff you will probably smell it again. Not to mention if you put it on the concentration spots where people hug you and what not they will smell it there cause its concentrated in that area. Finally skin type matters, if you have oily skin the fragrance will last longer compared to someone with very dry skin.
well stated. I wear the Blue regularly, and just I thought it is gone aby the afternoon, people would comment how nice the scent
If you have nordstrom rack near by, check out the gift box sets, I scored several 4.2+ smaller one( 2 pc set), cannot remember the size for $50

Or if you want to spend the same amount for a more year-round blue scent (but one that is MUCH better) go with Versace Dylan Blue (https://www.fragrancene
Or an AMAZING fresh scent which is blind buy worthy, Versace L'Homme https://www.fragrancene

Edit: Nah, they seem to be the same versions.

If you can't trust Barry Wood, can you really trust anyone?
