PB ParfumsBelcam Classic Match Green Eau De Toilette Spray for Men – Fresh Chypre Cologne, Bergamot, Basil, Musk, Long-Lasting Masculine Fragrance, Signature Scent – 2.5 Fl Oz

Some people say this smells identical to Polo Green, but it’s missing that dark licorice-like/oakmoss and tobacco richness. You can get closer by layering your own oakmoss or decanting it with a little oakmoss absolute. Scent intensity is solid. It opens bright and strong, then settles into a smooth green profile. Not overpowering, but definitely present enough to feel like a proper classic‑style chypre. it's an effective alternative to polo green if you just want something to scratch the itch but its definitely not a 1-1. Good value for money and authenticity.

Fantastic dupe. Smells very close to the real thing. Scent lasts a few hours, which is better than expected for the price point.

Smells like it belongs on a man. The top note is comprised of bergamot, which is a citrus hybrid of lemon and orange. This naturally sloughs off after about fifteen minutes, which is what all citrus top notes do. The middle layer is a blend of basil, which gives it a fresh herbal scent, and jasmine, which is of course a bit more floral, without being feminine. The middle notes are detectable from after the first 20 minutes until perhaps three hours or so. After the two middle notes wear away, the base note is musk, and this will last at least another hour, so one spray and you are good to go for four hours. Please be aware that this fragrance is a French-Canadian knock-off of Ralph Lauren Polo Green. Just for yux, I went to the men's fragrance counter at Dillard's. I sprayed one spray of the genuine article Polo Green on my left inside elbow, and then I sprayed one spray of this Belcam knock-off on my right inside elbow. Long story short, after a grueling eight-hour day, the Belcam knock-off still smelled fresh and sweet, whereas the Ralph Lauren designer fragrance morphed into more of a chemical-type of smell. I actually preferred the knock-off to the genuine article! Sorry, Ralph.

So if you remember the classic green bottle from the 1980s this smells very similar to it...but just slightly different, it's a bit lighter, a bit more modern, crisper and not as heavy. Some might say, kind of like modern times compared to the 80s not as heavy, not as unique or polarizing, not as bold and not as offensive. It is like a politically correct take on the must have 1980s scent. It's smells very similar but doesn't last as long and lacks a certain umph..not as musky, not as heavy and it doesn't stay on clothing as long. That might be good for some as folks won't smell you from three cubes away or around the corner in the college library like they could in the 1980s...it's nice, it's quieter but it isn't the same if you are looking for exactly what you had in 1987. But to me, I'm sorta ok with it. This isn't the 1980s. The old scent was like the junk bond trader in a 3 piece suit, kinda heavy, tipped well, ate a double burger with fries and two martinis with extra olives after a sweaty day in the pit on Wall St. This is the more modern version. Leaner. Cheaper. Quieter. It doesn't have to show off. It's the 23 year old trading altcoin on his phone after making workout videos for his online followers on his way to a date he just met on that cool new app. It's not as over the top, it's not quite a classic, it's the son of a classic or maybe the grandson. I'll take it but I'm still old school and want the original. Two things I really like about this product: (1) it says it is NOT tested on animals - awesome, thank you for being kind and (2) the company is headquartered in Upstate NY!! An absolutely great place to be and live! I support the economy of upstate NY!

Smells just like polo green. My dad used to have this so it reminds me of him.

Not great but not bad for me. Its a good 2nd choice on their polo lines if others are out like black or blue classic match. Its too over the top on the herbal side and just comes off a bit off putting to me. But this is from my scent perspective, others may like it. It does seem to last as well.

The scent is in my opinion for men. I have used the product for over 15 years. Two pumps are just right 👍

This is bad, heavy Basil vibes, reminiscent of 1991 car Salesman on a Hot Summer evening who needs a heavier scent to mask his moral depravity.

I don't understand some of the hate on this one. While i can’t directly compare it to its RL counterpart i can definitely say this is a great smelling cologne that lasts. I remember when i was a teenager buying colognes more than triple the price of this that smelled absolutely horrible and lasted maybe an hour if you were lucky. That being said it’s definitely not the nicest cologne on the market but for $10 it punches way above its price and i am looking forward to trying more of their scents.

Too pricey , go for Armaf or Titan Skinn scents

Smells pretty good. Slight urine smell at first spray but it passes.

Rarely do these products smell like the originals. This one does and the price is right. Doesn’t last very long as expected, but add a drop of patchouli and you’re good all day!

I always thought people were over exaggerating on Polo Green by saying it smells like “cigarettes” and like an “old man”, but this isn’t a lie. The atomizer just sprayed like a water gun, it did smell like good pine tree from the box but smelled like a horrible mix of dirty pine and actual dirty wood after I sprayed it onto my skin. Is it necessarily PB Parfumsbelcam’s fault? Not entirely, considering they wanted to make a cheap alternative to the very expensive Polo Green. I’m just glad I didn’t spend a fortune on that fragrance just to get bummed out. If you want to try it, please test it at a fragrance store or a Ralph Lauren outlet - do not blind buy. Just get PB’s Bold Tobacco, 1 Gender, or Classic Match Blue instead.
