L'Homme Sport

L'Homme Sport was launched in early 2009 and belongs to the Lanvin brand, a brand of perfumes with quality, good projection and durability. But when it comes to this SPORT version, we are talking about something that really deserves the title, because this perfume is ideal for those who play sports or for those who want a more “radical” footprint of a perfume. Unlike the “summer” versions, which are weaker and, theoretically, fresher, the sports versions cannot be weak. At least they shouldn't! They must withstand the pressure of those who wear fragrances and practice physical activities all day. However, many times this does not happen. And that is why many people turn up their noses for "sport" versions of several renowned perfumes, precisely because they are too fresh, they last too little and don't innovate. Lanvin L’Homme Sport is fantastic! The fragrance is pleasant, fresh, fruity, juicy and has excellent projection and durability. It opens with Amalfi lemon and bergamot, giving the whole citrus content to the start point. Still, on the output, pepper, and petitgrain. In the heart, it has lavender (which, frankly, I don't even notice) and sage. At the base, musk, patchouli leaves and an oakmoss that is a fundamental part in the construction of this scent, since it helps in maintaining the fragrance for hours and gives a slightly herbal touch to it. On my skin, L’Homme Sport projected a lot during the initial four hours and then became calmer (it doesn’t mean weak), exuding less intensely and getting richer, more natural on the skin. Its duration is excellent, remaining for more than nine hours, which is a wonder for perfumes with such fruity notes and such fresh and volatile characteristics. The coolest thing about this perfume is that it yields many compliments, leaves those who have had it with missing and it surprises those who have just met. And you, will you stand still right there?

I figured I’d write a review that can help others to decide to make a purchase on this scent through a blind buy. I gotta say right out of the gate that I really enjoy this scent. I like it way more than Lanvin H’omme. This being the sport version it just smells better. The opening is fresh and you get the citrus but not for long. This is not a sweet scent like other sport scents, this is more peppery, and where this one shines is in the dry down. To my nose it smells woody, but according to the pyramid there is none, so it must be the oakmoss. So what does it smell like? What’s it comparable to? Well, let me tell you, and I’m shocked that nobody else has mentioned it. This is almost an exact carbon copy of Zirh Ikon, with less of that smokey type feel. I can’t say much for the performance as I only get 2-3 hours max, and I haven’t played around with different seasons, but I also wanted to say that this isn’t sport in the sense that you can wear this in a gym or anything. Solid 7.5/10 for me.

Lanvin Sport, the fragrance I like a lot. And I have my reasons. I never find myself as a 'sport' type. I'm not quite sure what a sport scent is but I believe it should be easy, strong, maybe even spicy but still fresh/aquatic. Not too sweet, not too heavy, not too smoky. Lanvin Sport has many of these qualities, so I consider it as a sport fragrance indeed. However, as many before me wrote, it's not a typical one. Strong, very potent, expressive - maybe like an ideal sport player, quite rubbery - like a lot of sport accesories. But it's also very smooth - sweet but at the same time sharp lavender-citruses outstanding notes combine with warm musk and woods. Rather earthy than watery, reminds me of sandy soil after rain. Simplicity which I find not only nice and bright but also quite elegant and romantic. Especially for vacation evenings outside, a walk on the beach. Good choice for day-time, spring/fall.

This fragrance is so fresh and PERFECT for winter if you like citrusy fresh fragrances and find it difficult to wear them in cold weather like me...you'll probably like to wear Sport Lanvin in winter...it works just fine in my case💙 The blend is fresh cooling and yet perfectly spiced with a hint of black pepper not overly spiced at all ..just the perfect amount... Sport Lanvin has an extra openness and cool vibe that makes you feel like you want to take a deep breath...wow I'm remembering now! ..maybe because the sage and lavender both are very encouraging to inhale deeply when you smell them...I love it. I highly recommend both together ..Lanvin Lhome EDT for the morning ..office, college or weekend mornings and Sport Lanvin for the evening or gym in the afternoon. Performance is good 6H average designer standards ...not bad! Sport Lanvin💙

This scent has struck up a great balance, unlike the tennis pro it has been made for. Don't know if anyone has noticed but Rafa has one massively developed arm and one little, puny, skinny girl arm. To be fair he's evened things out a little since then. Lanvin impressed me greatly with Avant Garde but I still didn't know what to expect from this sport fragrance having never tried the original L'Homme. Well it's very nice indeed the opening is a little of what you've smelled before...citrus lemon CK One kind of vibe. Once the initial sharpness of the lemon dies down it becomes a mixture of fruit, can't quite place what though? The mixture of musk and herbs is perfectly executed in my humble opinion. Leave it to dry down for a while and it turns into a gorgeous scent which rivals any sport fragrance I've ever sniffed out for freshness.
