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"

This is a delicious addictive citrusy woody fragrance, but unfortunatelly the poor longevity and projection made me give up of it. It lasts about 2 hours and after that it becomes so weak, and no one can scent it after 45 min. If it were stronger like allure sport or polo blue it would be perfect.

Seguramente cuando lo pruebes o sientas el olor te va a gustar, es un rico perfume, un aroma que me recuerda a Code Sport de Armani, pero menos durable y con menos percepcion a la distancia que este. Durabilidad entre 2 hs y 3 hs. Para tenerlo como una segunda opcion. Calificacion General: 7/10

I didn't like the women version of it,,it's like a baby cologne But I like so much " the for men" so refreshing for summer, I like on my male friends, in a way that me made wanted for myself,, I will give it a try.. definetly will be a signature fragrance for nex week

This is nice frag. I use this for, as it's named, sporty activities. When I go to the beach, pool, before my workout, and playing tennis or golf. It lasts long enough for those activities, but not much longer. Definitely a step up from the polo sport I used to wear.

Common, clean, safe Burberry mens fragrance. Purchased for my husband for Christmas, and he wears it a few times a week. He likes it, I find it pretty citrusy and light, possible enough for a woman. Nice scent.

Very fresh! Fruity, aquatic and spicy. Very light and mild though. This would be a winner if it had better longevity and sillage. As it is, it's a nice summer/day fragrance, to sprinkle heavily to feel fresh.

Really like this one. Good sillage and longevity on me. Smells more natural and balanced than Dior homme Sport. Great aquatic note, salty and edgy. Very masculine. 8/10

I love the scent, very bright & airy. Unfortunately, it stays for 30 minutes only. So it is just a like for me.

Good fragrance, the starting is wonderful, but is not too strong, I have it and I like it. For me: 8/10

Nice Smell..But doesn't last long at all. I would say 3 hours MAX.

Perfect for all season on all occasions. Very sweet scent!

[from my early review on BN] OK, I'll bite the bullet, and be the first to give my newby take on BS ( no, BSM would be a better abbreviation & not to be confused with BSIM or BSuM ;-) ). As described on tester bottle: "A woody citrus fragrance" Top notes: grapefruit, frozen ginger, wheatgrass accord Heart notes: sea breeze accord, red ginger, juniper berries Dry notes: cedarwood, dry amber, musk Florida summertime test: On initial spray, I got a sense of freshness, with some citrus, grapefruit like scent, pleasing cardamom (much as if I crushed a seed or two in my teeth), along with some grassy-like notes. Ginger was more like ginger ale to me (Canada Dry, not Schwepps), rather than fresh ginger or ginger root. A little later, I thought I got a whiff of salt spray, with perhaps a hint of the juniper berries, at least, something a little sweet; I seem to have lost the ginger, though. BSM faded quickly on my skin, like it just ran out of steam, to the point I could scarcely detect any distinct base notes- just a clean, vague something-ness. Over all, it was pleasant, but nothing distinctive stood out, no "wow" factor here. This fragrance can take its place among all the other generic citrus "sport" bottles, eventually to be cleared off the shelves to make way for the new contenders. 25 May, 2011 (Last Edited: 04 June, 2011)

The ginger is too much for me. It reminds me of those Chinese ginger candy. My mom loved those things. I do like the dry down. The first time I sampled this I really loved it. I found it for a great price so I figured I would get it, but I am starting to like it less and less. It almost burns my nose. I will give Burberry one thing, this fragrance lasts forever on me. One squirt on my forearm and it last all day. I can even get a faint wif of it the next morning after a shower. Great for being outdoors since it doesn't fade. I do like it, but it is not special. It is funny how I used to love Burberry when I first got into fragrances, but they just seem so ordinary now.

I guess its similar to DH Sport? Dont really understand that, but alright. Im not crazy about it. I like a few Burberry scents so I thought I would like this, but I cant really wear it. Its too gingery and sharp. If it were stronger it would be too piercing and somewhat offensive. Its not offensive, though, because it has poor performance. I cant smell it after just a few minutes. Like everyone else said...typical grapefruit and ginger scent. Not worth it, other than for the decent looking bottle.

Edit: Ginger ? where it is? its poor synthetic lemon like from axa twist, - i fellt at first try Second try 2 weeks leater. Omg im feeling 100% ginger /sushi ginger. I had some fresh ginger in my fridge crushed it feelt burberry sport but without far/oriental sandal,wood note after next 15mins i can smell ginger/lemon, ginger without it peper-nes i thing that i smell is evolving in to lemon at first seconds its smells decent to evolve 2 minutes later to typical cheap fragrance smell

It actually smells almost just like the Beat. It's so citrusy it overrides the other notes. Is this citrus stank a signature flavor for Burberry, or do they have something different? I'm not jumping to any conclusions, but the first two Burberrys I tried are too lemony. They smell just like washing liquid to me, and it's not a good impression, so I hope to try Brit and whatever else they have to find something I consider worth while.

Typical gingery grapefruity scent. Thought this one would be different. It reminds me exactly of something but im having trouble thinking of it. Really a skin scent on me. Not terrible though. Okay, maybe the sourness of Perry Ellis 360 (blue) and the freshness of Issey Miyake Summer 2015 mixed with Versace eau Fraiche? Ifbi can give anyone a better comparison. All those mixed but VERY VERY subtle and weak

It starts fresh with ginger & grapefruit & green wheat ?!, then fruity-aquatic at middle, still fresh & summery, ending after 4-5 hrs with musk, cedar & amber. Although it's a new release from Burberry, for me it's not very original or special, just a fresh & expensive summer scent for young dudes. My rank 7/10. ☣☣ p.s. Save your money and go for 'Brit or The Beat'. Much more satisfactory.

This is a good smelling scent, but nothing special. The opening is the best part of it, after that it sticks to the skin. I get 1-3 hours but not with good projection. Even when I spray 5 or 6 times the projection is still bad. - Best for the summer and spring. 4/10 - Not worth the price - there are better scents out there.

Burberry Sport for Men for me is an average freg , it's not bad but it's not WOW either . Scent : 5/10. Longevity : 3 hours. Sillage : 2 hours. Bottle design : 3/10.

Ginger, ginger and ginger. Very similar to Dior Homme Sport, but without that lemony side. Good scent, but not original at all!!

I bought it then returned it. It’s a splash of nothing...

This cologne is weak one from Burberry Fragrance Line

This has the nasty metallic note that so many cheap fragrances have. Had to scrub it off.

No matter how cheap this mess is it’s not worth it

Citrusy, sweet, and musky are the three words I'd use to describe this fragrance. I know those aren't words a professional cologne describer would use, but I'm not a professional cologne describer. I'm just an idiot with nothing better to do an a Saturday night. The grapefruit jumps out of the bottle and grabs you by the throat upon initial application. It pretty quickly fades into something less grapefruity. It took 4 or 5 squirts to project like 1 or 2 squirts of some other colognes I have. After an hour or so the grapefruit went away, and I kind of liked the smell...or was that my deodorant? My Degree Extreme Blast deodorant almost overpowered it an hour later. I'm 37, though I don't look or act like it. I blind-bought this cologne hoping it would complement my athletic and artistic/free-spirited sides. BSfM is described as a younger man's cologne, and I'd concur with that. It has a sort of young-preppy feel about it, IMO. Which would be cool, if you were in high school or college. But alas, it's too immature for even me, a man-child if there ever was one. On a side-note, it does really cover up farts well (I think the grapefruit molecules bond with the sulfur-dioxide). So it has that going for it. In closing, try this cologne before purchasing it. I could see this working for young men. And the lack of longevity could really be to your benefit, if you were, say...well, no good example comes to mind, but I'm sure you can think of one.

I'm not too convinced that Burberry Sport for Men is indeed a sports fragrance. It's not as fresh as I thought it would be. In fact, this fragrance could be worn in Winter. Burberry Sport for Men is mostly fizzy and citrusy ginger. Grapefruit seems to be missing in the scent pyramid, which is fairly strong to my nose, especially in the opening. It has a very aquatic feel to it, mostly brought about by the rather synthetic sea water accord and the cedar, which resembles the scent of pencil-shavings. Luckily the ginger in this fragrance is pleasant and balanced. The ginger is slightly refreshing like ginger ale, and has a rather spicy edge. I can't seem to detect the wheat note. It doesn't register to my nose. Unfortunately I find this fragrance quite generic and boring. It's not something I'd particularly want to smell on a man in the gym. It leaves me feeling disappointed and uninspired. I do however like the bottle design. I find the black rubber outer-casing very handy and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The lasting strength is relatively good, as is the sillage, which may perhaps be in certain situations, a little too strong and in-your-face. All in all, Burberry Sport for Men is passable in my books, but definitely not an exciting new release.

Reading about the ginger here feels like if I would smell a proeminent ginger in the scent. It is there but not as a overwhelming note (if I pay special attention, it can remember me the ginger I get on Kenzo Indigo Homme). At the airport the salesman said is one of the scent of the moment, and that Dior Homme Sport was one of then in the past two years. I prefer Dior Sport because what I wrote about it. Burberry Sport is an ok day-by-day scent that is like vertigo wrote: not very original, but pleasant. A very mild citric tone (lemony-like, but here we have grapefruit listed), relatively linear scent, average sillage and longevity. I would compare it with Z Zegna in the general feeling about strong-projection-fresh aspect during the first moments, although very different if analysed close. Gucci by Gucci Sport tires me, Dior Homme Sport I enjoy and prefer, and Burberry Sport is much like the safe kind of fragrance, a good one.

Another sport series fragrance. It is a trend for all major brand to release their sport edition fragrance, and it is generally feature a very light and mild scent that you won't expect it to last long(I means 4-6 hours at least). For this one, all 3 notes are pretty linear, doesn't evolve much. Notes is bit salty aquatic + aromatic woody, a very safe choice. Sillage is bad, lengevity is ok, 3 hours on me. Generally this is an super ordinary light scent, nothing special but the nice rectangular plastic cap! I tested with 3 spray on the wrist and it is superb light, I can only get the scent by sniffing my wrist. You get the idea when it is a sport fragrance(light and mild scent). I wonder how many more sport fragrance in the market to be release soon? I bet you can easily forget this one soon in future.
