Big Pony is getting even bigger!

Tue, 30 Aug 2011 09:54:51 +0000

You like the Big Pony fragrance collection, right, Gentlemen? Well Ralph Lauren now presents four even Big-ger fragrance options. The designer has just unveiled a line of flankers: body sprays that come in 6.8-oz. bottles. Like a cross between a scented eau and a deodorant, each body spray is composed around two fragrant ingredients that reflect the personality of the man who wears it. Are you sporty? The blue bottle, with its lime and grapefruit accord, is made for you. More of a Don Juan type? Go for the red bottle, with its association of dark-chocolate and musk. Adventurous men will prefer the green bottle, with its alliance of mint and ginger; while the mandarin-orange and kyara-wood duo in the orange bottle will appeal to the most suave among you. Color, scent, freshness: all you have to do is choose! Scented body sprays, 6.8 oz., 19 euros.
