Key Notes of Aromatic Watermelon
What Does Aromatic Watermelon Smell Like
Dossier's Aromatic Watermelon perfume presents a distinctly masculine aroma that draws inspiration from Ralph Lauren's Polo Blue. On the initial application, one can detect a tempting blend of fruity scents with dominant notes of ripe watermelon and citrusy bergamot, sprinkled with the spicy hint of cardamom. These eye-opening top notes create an immediate impression of refreshing coolness, simulating a bright, sunlit day by the ocean.
As the top notes gently fade, the heart notes emerge, presenting a fragrant blend of aromatic basil, earthy clary sage, and slightly floral orris. A hint of crisp verbena provides a subtle, underlying tanginess that complements the overall scent beautifully. This middle stage carries a genuinely outdoor feel, reminiscent of nature in its best light.
The perfume's base notes anchor the fragrance with a lingering yet noticeable woodiness. Musk and vetiver provide a rich, warm backdrop, while patchouli and amberwood add a touch of bold masculinity. These, in combination, offer a grounded yet fresh scent that enhances the experience of the wearer and those around him.
In its entirety, Dossier's Aromatic Watermelon perfume is a thoughtfully curated fragrance that blends fruity, aromatic, and woody notes in a manner that is appealing, sophisticated, and decidedly masculine.
Review of Aromatic Watermelon
Dossier's Aromatic Watermelon is a well-crafted, less expensive alternative to Ralph Lauren's Polo Blue. This dupe manages to capture the essence of the original with a significant price difference — $19 for Dossier's version versus $65 for Polo Blue.
The initial scent hits you with a cool freshness, offering a whiff of water fruits, basil, and verbena — a close mimicry to Polo Blue's opening notes. It skillfully captures that outdoor, sun-drenched day feel with a hint of breeziness that Ralph Lauren's scent is known for. However, it cannot entirely replicate Polo Blue's profound evolution of scents and its distinctive earthy base. The suede, musk base of Polo Blue is replaced with a subtler, woody, orris base in the Dossier's version, which might not pack the same punch for those who appreciate a stronger, earthy undertone.
As for gender, both perfumes lean towards the masculine side but can be enjoyed by anyone who appreciates the aromatic family of scents. Being a vegan and cruelty-free option, Dossier's Aromatic Watermelon is a win for those who value ethical consumption.
In terms of presentation, the simplicity and elegance of Ralph Lauren's royal blue bottle design is unmatched. Dossier's packaging, while practical, may lack the luxury appeal of its more expensive counterpart.
In conclusion, Dossier's Aromatic Watermelon is an attractive, cost-effective alternative to Polo Blue. It might not entirely replicate the original's complex scent evolution and luxurious packaging, but it offers its version of freshness and breeziness at a fraction of the price.
