What does Play Sport smell like?

It opens with mint, lemon, ginger and bergamot, cool and sharp. In the heart, lemon leaf and black pepper add a green, spicy edge. Musk and amyris form the base, drying down on a woody ground with an aquatic, slightly synthetic feel.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick summer and spring, with daily wear, leisure and sport leading the occasions. It reads masculine and modern. Kenzo Homme Sport and Cartier Roadster Sport have a close profile.
