Harry Frémont, a Firmenich perfumer, built it on mint and citrus, ginger and pineapple, oakmoss and musk. Its blue oval bottle evokes polo players, and Tyson Beckford has been its face since 1994.

Polo Sport was previewed in late 1993 at Ralph Lauren’s Polo Sport store in New York and reached American department stores in 1994. It is the second offshoot of the 1978 Polo, after Polo Crest in 1991, and was released under license by L’Oréal.
A fragrance for the active man
The house conceived Polo Sport as a fresh-water fragrance, clean and brisk, within a collection of “skin fitness” products designed for the active, health-focused man. Today it says the fragrance pays tribute to sport and to the art of seizing every opportunity.
Harry Frémont
The fragrance is signed by Harry Frémont. A native of Cannes and a graduate of ISIPCA, the perfumer joined Firmenich in 1987 and left for New York in 1990 to open the company’s creative center in Manhattan, where he was the first full-time perfumer.
In 1994, the year of Polo Sport, he also co-signed CK One for Calvin Klein with Alberto Morillas. He returned to Ralph Lauren for other creations, including Purple Label.
