What does Sport smell like?
Its longevity is rated weak and its sillage moderate, though the small number of ratings means these figures are only a rough guide. It reads clearly masculine and suits those who want something light and fresh for daytime wear.
Mint and citrus notes come first. Spices and lavender follow in the heart, softening the freshness and adding a floral, green tone. The base settles into amber and woody notes, while the accords also bring creamy and fruity touches and a distinctly synthetic feel.
