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.

Bought a miniature, just to try Santos eau de sport. I'm in love with the topnotes, which are classic, elegant, fresh and spicy. A bit herbal as well. On a piece of paper, the drydown is similar to the regular Santos. On my skin though, it's different and i don't really like the drydown. I will try and apply a few more times to make a definite judgement, but for now I wouldn't buy a full bottle. Edit: tried it again, on my skin. Didn't like the topnotes this time. It reminds me a bit of Roadster Sport, which also has a bit of a medicinal touch to it. I recall a review (I think it was here on Fragrantica) where someone got a negative comment on Roadster Sport, claiming that it smelled like an anti acne medication. Since having read that review, I get that too in Roadster Sport. Right now I also get that, albeith in a different way, with Santos Sport.

I love the original Santos, and I jumped at a possibility to test Santos Eau de Sport.My friend brought it to me - apparently his father did not have any use for it! Neither did I - it is a 100% men thing! It is a complicated, masculine fragrance, and it does not posess the warmth of the original Santos.The opening is rather bitter and agressive at the same time - like a lime zest, with a strange fizzy note to it. It reminded me of a soda drink from my childhood based on tarragon - delicious, but rather synthetic. However, there is something to it that stands out. It is not your usual green-blue aftershave splash and it will be noticed if worn by a right person.

Great scent very masculine that I wish would be a BEAST because its smeels fantastic but it is soft with low duration. I will try it with the after shave balm maybe it will be better. For such a wonderful smell it is disappointing. Scent alone 9/10 Overall performance 5/10. UPDATE 1 june 2021..bought another bottle performance much better..first bottle found out was let in the sunlight for a long time deteriorated the molecules...thus why the atrocious performance.

Grey curly fro, gold chain, Hawaiian shirt, tight shorts, too short might I add, gold pinky ring, no wedding band, brown boat shoes, and a 1000$ in 20$ in your pocket. Straight sporting a toothpick in mouth, under a pencil thin mustache. Too tan... This is what sport santos smells like. I love cartier, anything cartier, but this doesn't fit me at 30 in 2013. I'm not man enough for this, and I don't have a boat called "sex kitten"

This fragrance is for men not women....Anyway it has been sadly discontinued..
