Adidas UEFA Champions League Edition

Smells nothing like Fierce or Legend. Sweet fresh apple with some aquatic fruity notes. Very nice scent even if its performance is not the best.

There is a new Eau de Parfum version, called "Champions Intense", which comes in an opaque dark blue bottle, in Northern Europe. Smells about the same as this original, possibly smoother and prettier. Violets and vanilla, and it's sweet!, which I perceive as more unisex than an Adidas fanboy's gym spray. Update June 22 - prices have dropped 50%. Making this a great choice for teens. It has something inexpressible that captures my attention, even if I question why I spray on a cheap Adidas when I have so many beautiful high-end sprays, for example Guerlain Insolence which is a sweet powdery violet you'd never associate with a teen boy. I get much better performance for this and most of the Adidas UEFA series than others report. I don't know why. The dry downs hang around forever. If only I could locate a bottle of Star, which is considered the best of the series, and is impossible to locate in Europe. Remaining bottles seem to pop up here and there in Southeast Asia, but hardly worth the shipping?

The scent is pleasant and ideal for the gym. It has a touch of Invictus and YSL Y, but don't count on it replacing either of those. It's a simple scent, not overly complex. I find it perfect for everyday use, particularly for gym when I want to feel fresh and clean. It’s not something extraordinary, but it gets the job done and leaves me feeling refreshed. 6.6/10

Somehow, Adidas scents usually punch above their weight, and this is no exception. This smells like something more expensive, with above-average sillage and longevity. The notes are also well-balanced and it doesn’t smell like a clone of popular fougeres like Drakkar Noir. Well done Coty!

Not anything amazing, but more than decent for the $7 price point. Smells fresh and sporty, not cloying. Not overly musky, which I like. Will likely need to spray more than usual to get the desired level of sillage. Perfect gym cheapie for me.
