Santos Eau de Sport

Cool, Cool, Cool, Been avoiding buying fragrances then went mental on vintage stuff. This came up for grabs on a blind buy and I thought ...why not? I love the original, I really do and this has many of the same great qualities a kind of mature, toasted coconut undercurrent, with the usual powdery, peppery, woody moss and leather of this ilk of Men's biz. Usually Sport flankers have an injection of something brighter or fresher and it's definitely way less dressy, evening wear that the original could be, but it's far from 'fresh'. So yeah, peppery woods, powdery carnations and that mild rounding of toasted coconut. It's brilliant and very intact for it's age and the fact it's in a plastic bottle. I mean no reason it shouldn't keep well but there's a perception that plastic is somehow lesser than glass. I got it for a steal but I wouldn't pay some silly price on eBay or whatever, it's good and a piece of nostalgia, in truth though there are far more desirable vintages out there, but this is solid.

Santos Sport is green, minty, and bright, drying to fresh incense, vetiver, and cool spice. Nice. Of course it was discontinued. This is why I can't have nice things.

Great perfume but sadly discontinued .

A great Green Fougere, in the same vein of Lacoste original (1984), but while Lacoste remains green until the very dry down, SS takes a slightly powdery direction. It's more aromatic and its blend of caraway, coriander and carnation is amazing!It's more refined too and nowadays It could be worn as a non sport fragrance easily. It's a pitty It was discontinued. The only problem I see is the longevity: on my skin It faded away in 4 hours.

I used to wear this in the late 80es/early 90es and projection/longevity were really good considering this was not an EDT or EDP but a fresher version for after sport in a green plastic bottle when Santos in the "voyage" collection was in brown glass bottled with dark red leather sleeve.
