The Polo Ultra Blue wave takes over Travel Retail Americas

Ralph Lauren held surfer inspired travel retail HPP activations across 16 cities in the Americas in July for the new Polo Ultra Blue fragrance for men, as shown in Buenos Aires Ezeiza International Airport, bove, and in Rio de Janeiro Airport, below.

Polo Ultra Blue, the new fragrance for men from Ralph Lauren, is an ultra-fresh and ultra-long-lasting interpretation of the iconic Polo Blue. Ultra Blue launched in March in Travel Retail Americas, and evokes the refined, yet sporty lifestyle of the Polo Blue Man. This concept is embodied in the new campaign featuring MMA fighter and model Luke Rockhold, the new face of Polo Blue fragrances. Further exemplifying the sports life, Rockhold is also an avid surfer and kiteboarder.

In July 2018, Polo Ultra Blue took over Travel Retail Americas across 16 different cities. The retailtainment concept was inspired by the surf-globetrotter who travels to all the hot surf destinations in search of the most thrilling wave. Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Miami… an exclusive city stamp was created for each city explored.
