Polo by Ralph Lauren
One of the great scents from the 70s. Starts with an invigorating opening of green notes, pine, some citrus, lavender and herbs. It has a robust middle with pine, geranium, carnation, rose and jasmine and perhaps coriander or marjoram. There is plenty of pine which, when mixed with the florals, creates a complex middle that smells strong and masculine. The base is deep and satisfying with cedar, patchouli, musk and a strong leather smell. The leather smell is a little like wet leather. This is a rich and masculine cologne that is best worn carefully since it can be overpowering.

I was testing some of the "Polo" scents the other day and realized that I don't really like this kind of cologne.
You're right, it does have an "Old School" smell to it.
One of the first colonges I really smelled was "Stetson" when I was a kid. Thankfully, that's not all that's out there.
I do however enjoy Ralph Lauren's purfumes. My girlfriend enjoys the "Ralph" scent.
I'm glad you're exploring what you like and don't like. Take care.
