What does Instinct Sport smell like?

Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as weak, though the number of votes is small, so that verdict is tentative. It is aimed at men and suits light, everyday wear.

The top holds orange, mandarin orange and ginger: citrus comes first, with the ginger adding a touch of spice. In the heart, violet leaf and green apple push it towards green and fruity. The base of cashmeran and sandalwood leaves a soft, woody ground. Lacoste L'Homme Lacoste and Hugo Boss Boss in Motion (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
