Four Play

Selecting perfume can be quite a difficult task, most especially when you have to walk around the whole department store to check each and every scent and brand. It’s a good thing United Colors of Benetton and Ralph Lauren now each have a fragrance line in groups of four for you to choose from.


Who can forget United Colors of Benetton (UCB) in the ‘80s and ‘90s? UCB makes a hot comeback with its colorful line of fragrances—Rosso (red) and Giallo (yellow) for the ladies; Verde (green) and Blu (blue) for the gentlemen. Each represents a personality and a scent preference: the Rosso is floral and fruity, that’s perfect for the sexy woman; the Giallo fits ladies who are the life of the party with its musky floral scent. Men will love Verde for its mix of fruity and woody scents, while Blu is for the man who loves the outdoors, with lavender and basil that give a fresh and calming effect.

Ralph Lauren Polo scents are also a blast from the past. This time around, its Big Pony Fragrance collection also offers four fragrances to cater to different passions: sport, seduction, adventure and style. Each bottle is labeled with a number, which represents the four passions of the male gender. Sports fanatics will love #1 with its citrus mix of lime and grapefruit for an energizing boost. Dark chocolate and musk will awaken the senses with #2, while the #3 bottle has combination of mint and ginger root which mimics that of the outdoors—best for the adventurous. Lastly, for #4, mandarin and kyarawood gives a luxurious and sleek scent that the stylish man will surely love.
