Burberry Sport for Men

This was my very first cologne and the only one I wore for several years, even after it was discontinued and became much harder to find. Due to this, I have a great deal of nostalgia and sentimentality for it. Throwback to my early 20's - fresh out of college and entering the white collar workforce, I figured it was time to smell the part. The problem was, every trip to a department store to find "the one" usually ended in me leaving with a headache and the forgone conclusion that cologne just wasn't for me. The majority of scents I encountered were way too aggressive, synthetic or mature-smelling and just didn't fit my personality. I also knew that I didn't want something loud and preferred the idea of my scent only reaching those in "quiet conversation" or hug proximity. When I finally encountered Burberry Sport, you could say it was love at first sniff. The freshness of the ginger and citrus opening immediately struck a chord with me - tangy and sweet yet masculine, and nothing about it felt over the top. In retrospect, the ginger is a definite highlight which cuts through much more than many other fragrances I've smelled till now. As someone who grew up with fresh ginger cooked into some of my favorite foods, something must have clicked in me because I immediately knew this was the one. The dry down settles in warm and woodsy territory while retaining a splash of the initial spiciness. It has a youthful vibe, but one that projects a quiet confidence. Speaking of projection, it is undoubtedly light and remains a skin scent for around 3-4 hours in my experience. Despite the poor performance however, I have received many compliments while wearing this over the years, mostly from women who got close enough to catch a whiff. Is it a masterpiece or a performance beast? No and hell no, but it is a mass-appealing and IMO underrated scent, and one I will always associate with great memories of my 20's.

i'm not going to get into notes so much as i'm not super in tuned to them. I like to give average joe type reviews, so here it is: Burberry Sport for me is one of my all time favorite scents. Most people consider it a summer scent but I honestly like it as an early fall scent. It is energetic thanks to the citrusy notes but I also pick up a cedar note which to me reminds me of fall. I am 24 and this fragrance gets a ton of compliments from girls my age. Then again, where im from most guys wear Ambercrombie Fierce or Adidas so maybe it is just because it is unique compared to local favorites. Regardless, I think this is a safe bet on a date or running errands. I picked up a 1.7oz bottle for $35 or so at Wal-Mart of all places. If youre 18-30, got the extra cash, it is worth a blind buy in my opinion. Especially if youre new to the fragrance game. The longevity is short. Around 2-3 hours with okay projection. Id say leaning towards 'personal space projection'. Won't offend like Joop! or some of the infamous monster sillage fragrances.

I love this one. Tart grapefruit & a ton of spicy ginger. I love sour citrus mixed with Ginger and wood, so I fell in love with Burberry Sport immediately. (I actually got this last Xmas when I exchanged Bleu de Chanel that i received as a gift & didn't care for). I also have a sample of Dior Homme Sport, which everyone compares Burberry Sport to, but I have to disagree with most & say I prefer Burberry. The Dior is too smooth & sweet upfront. I like the more aggressive, sour citrus & heavier ginger in Burberry Sport better. I tend to prefer harsher, more in your face notes on sports scents. (My other favorite sport scent is Lacoste Essential Sport, which is even more tart than Burberry Sport). But overall, this is definitely one of my favorite scents & I highly recommend it if you like a strong citrus/Ginger combo.

I wore this during a Caribbean cruise. It absolutely complimented the summery ocean breeze. Unusual bottle, great sprayer. Despite "sport" in the name, it seemed very at home dining and going to the show onboard ship. The grapefruit note is particularly well done.

I think this is really unappreciated fragrance. I love it and got a new bottle. After wearing this gem for 3 years I got lotttttt of compliments. Trust me - ladies love this one. Longetivity isn't the best, but not the worst. I think its ok for younger buddys.

(Very bad, Bad, Good, Very good , Amazing, God level) Smell: Amazing Projection: Bad Sillage: Bad Quality: Amazing Similarity: Prefer not compare Blind buy: Yes but... 7/10 Another gem's smell but the performance...

This scent is very modern and gentle. It's a nice blend of Ginger and woodsy notes and I'm always complimented when wearing this! :) Thanks, God bless! 9/10

Wow! amazing fragrance..the best gingery sports fragrance very nice for summer..it ́s similar to Chritian Dior - Sport.love it

Fresh & zesty... energy in a bottle!

Inititialy I was hesitant to get this scent because ginger is usually a note that turns bitter on my skin ( especially with Dior Homme Sport) To me this is a very fresh,invigorating, out of the shower smell of that would be perfect for work,casual use and during or after the gym. It opens up very gingery and an odd citrusy scent but then in the heart the green and sea notes come into play making this very appealing and it also smells kind of luxurious and modern. The heart is the best part of this frag The drydown is ok but your mostly left with a fresh,slightly citrusy ginger. Performance- Everyone is complaining about bad performance but I get anywhere from 4-6 hours which isn't bad. Projection is only average as well, I've gotten compliments from people even when I thought this has died out which causes me to believe it may be better then I think. Overall rating is a 7 out of 10 ! Solid smell that isn't unique but it's still a keeper ( if you liked Dior Homme Sport but wished it was fresher try this out as its very similar)

One of the best gingery sports fragrances. I have had a couple of bottles of this amazing juice. It is a true sports fragrance that is among the top masterpieces within this category. So what do I get out of this fragrance? A great ginger fragrance for any ginger lover. It is a natural and realistic ginger scent. It is boosted by the complementary notes of juniper and grapefruit that along with musk and amber give it a masculine perspective. It is a fragrance that goes well for the general audience both young and old, and it lasts on my skin for a good 6-7 hours. It is relatively cheap and most people I have found does think that it is a pleasant scent that is easy to wear. -For everyone dressing sporty or going to the gym.. Works great for handymen and office workers as well. A must for any ginger lover. Overall Rating 8/10 /x/

The ginger and grapefruit opening is quite pleasant. This is a safe, simple, welcoming, and linear fragrance. Certainly nothing ground breaking and describes a style of mediocrity if that is what beholder seeks. Longevity is poor, like 2 hours on my skin and its barely even a skin scent at that point. So, I decided to spray a bunch on my clothes to get better longevity, but even then after 2 days, I can barely smell it. Having that said, it would be difficult to over spray with this. Perfect to wear to the gym. For the blind buyer this is virtually a guaranteed like, but don't expect the world out of this one.

Purchased a small bottle in January 2016. Only thing to add to the reviews below is that "yes" indeed it leans towards a bright/citrus/Dior Homme Sport scent - Very strong grapefruit with a touch of ginger. I get zero marine aquatic notes however so I don't know why that is listed above. Also the dry down on my bottle still stays with the ginger and grapefruit - very little amber either so that is also something to be aware of. Cool futuristic bottle and nice for summer/workout wearings. It is sharp smelling and has average sillage and longevity - worth a purchase if the price is low.

The scents that really jump out at me are the Lemon, Ginger, and the Virginia Cedar. As a sport scent, it is kind of expected to have that pine scent, but I like the Burberry sport because the Lemon/Ginger combo lightens up initial experience followed by the Virginia Cedar is a pleasant transition. It is also these elements that set Burberry Sport apart from other 'Sport' fragrances. I will add that I am also biased because I am partial to Burberry Perfumes due to their woody aromas as well as a sentimental bond since Burbery Men was my first favorite perfume.

The scent is really good I think. It is the perfect scent for young atlethic people. I wore this scent when I was done at the gym, it gave me a clean and fresh feeling. SCENT 9/10 I Love the scent, but I will not buy this fregrance again. This is because the sillage and the longetivity are really not that good, especially the longetivity is bad. Longetivity: about 4 hours, 5 at most.. Sillage: at the beginning the sillage is quite good, but after one or two hours the smell is down to skin-level. Longetivity: 5/10 Sillage: 3/10

Burberry sport is a fresh, citrus and woody fragrance. Its opening is very pleasant due to the smell of ginger and bitter citrus notes, passing through an herbal phase and a woody finish with notes of cedar and musk. The fragrance is fresh and versatile, to be used at any time of the year and in any situation, preferably casual outings. Its duration was between 6 or 7 hrs. and has a regular sillage the first hour, then it decreases near to the skin. Young and mature people like this, my son likes it a lot and I do too.

Alcoholic mandarin is what I get and juniper shortly thereafter. I agree with Vertigo, pleasant but unoriginal - smells like something you'd get at the Body Shop. More a casual weekend fragrance which is obviously its target market. The fruitiness also makes it good for women as it's not overly 'manly'. I actually don't hate the bottles. they're not pretty but they are functional and that would be the look any 'sport' fragrance is going for.

Well, let me say that it reminds me of drinking a diet ginger ale. It's frizzy clean, and refreshing for hot days. The woody cedar is mild also; almost vetiver-like, which is grassy and clean. It's a very simple scent for Burberry and can be easily worn. For the bottle design, I think it is okay. It reminds me of Lacoste Challenge, which mimics a handle of a racquet.

I actually bought Burberry Sport online without even ever sampling it, I'm glad I did. Great scent from beginning to end. I read some reviews (not here) before I decided and was more impressed when I got it. I don't normally purchase cologne without ever sampling but very pleased I took a chance. Why the reviews here?

Ginger & lemon (grapefruit). Fresh & mildly sharp smell. Would've loved if it the sea note was more prominent. A safe, likable fragrance like the vast majority of "Sporty" smells. It is a perfect fresh/sporty smell for a cool day. No wonder the models are wearing winter coats & the flanker is called "Sport ICE"
