What does The Man of Sport smell like?
Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It is made for men.
It begins with the heat of black pepper and ginger cooled by aquatic notes. In the heart, lavender, violet and clary sage add a soft floral touch. The base rests on patchouli, sandalwood and cypriol for a woody footing, and the overall impression is fresh, lightly sweet and a little synthetic.
