Sport Scent

I had received Sport Scent for Xmas as a freshman in high school (1981), although I really wasn't into fragrances as a teen. I still have the bottle, along with all of its plastic puzzle piece-like attachments, but the sprayer stopped working a loooong time ago, leaving it nearly full (and truly vintage). I recently got around to decanting the bottle into one with a working sprayer. Having been probably 35 years since I've smelled it, it's like getting a new cologne. And no, it hadn't gone bad. The Jovan Sport Scent I now have is a green and very oakmossy cologne, with a noticeable lavender note and just a hint of cardamom to sweeten it a bit. There does seem to be a brief floral presence in it, and dries down to have a nice soapy quality. But for the most part it's along the same lines as Sung Homme or Polo without the leather.

Smells like something you can imagine Stallone wearing while pumping iron. Brutally 80's powerhouse. Lavender and Sage are prominent in my nose. 7/10 in total. Not the greatest projection in any way, and clearly a autumn/winter scent. But if you are like me, and enjoy the 80's powerhouse stuff, this sure is a one to have in the collection.
