What does Essential Sport smell like?

Most voters pick summer, followed by spring. It leans towards sport, leisure and daily wear, works at the office too, and is less often chosen for nights out. Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays soft and unobtrusive.

It opens with ginger, grapefruit and bergamot, bright and a little fruity. The heart of juniper, green notes and nutmeg adds a light spicy, green touch. Musk, patchouli and vetiver leave a clean, woody base.
