Dark Door Sport

I honestly wasn't expecting much, but this fragrance has completely exceeded my expectations. It opens with a fresh, clean and masculine scent that instantly gives the impression of someone who's just stepped out of the shower. It's incredibly easy to wear and has that effortless elegance that works in almost any situation, from casual daytime outings to dinner dates. The biggest surprise, however, is the performance. On my skin it lasts for hours, with a very pleasant scent trail that never feels overpowering. I've received an impressive number of compliments while wearing it—especially from women—which is something I can't say about many fragrances, regardless of their price. If you're looking for a fragrance that smells fresh, sophisticated and universally appealing, this is an outstanding choice. It's one of those rare scents that simply makes people want to get closer. For the price, it's an absolute bargain and one of the best discoveries in my collection.

This is better than MA's work on Dark Door Intense, which I thought was pretty dang good. The elemi interaction in the citrus open is really nice. The ginger even sneaks into the late open and holds through the heart alongside cedar and some vetiver. In the base it's herbal with rosemary and lavender, with the lavender taking on an aromatic flair as well. I can't quite get sandalwood, but the cedar and vetiver seem to still come through in the base. Supposedly this is one that gets considerably better longevity through with over a year of maturation, so it'll be primarily a gym fragrance initially but the overall profile is good enough to be elevated to a SOTD once it's in that 4-5 hour range for me.

I think it is quite impressive. Direct comparison with Dior Homme 2020 Dior, it appears this is spot on at first whiff. There is an odd vegetal/or maybe tomato leaf scent that lingers. The dry-down is quite a citrus blast with some pungency, but deviates from DH 2020, as it becomes really citrus and lacks the refinement of DH 2020. Not necessarily similar to DHS 2017. It appears to be an amalgam of sorts. DH 2020, DHS 2021. The initial blast of citrus may induce an allergy. Spray on hand /elbows before neck and chest. Maturation appears not to change anything. Same scent profile after almost 2years. DH 2020 and DHS 2021 still preferable.

This is a 1:1 clone of DHS2021 and also touches Dior Homme 2020 notes in the dry down. It is well done by Maison Alhambra. I have compared the clone with the original perfumes, and this is very close to them; 80-90% in the dry down. The only problem is its performance. 6 hours on skin. Moderate projection is 2-3 hours. I live in a hot humid region, so its projection will be affected by the weather. If anyone wants to get a Dior Homme 2020 Dupe and is unable to find one, this is your best alternative in the current market as there are not many alternatives for that. I am making it my signature scent and wearing it throughout the YEAR

A really, really good clone of Dior Homme Sport 2021 (not the older version). About the same moderate longevity as the original and they are extremely close in smell as well- I'd give this one a 95% similarity after 5 minutes as the opening is pretty rocky/spicy. The strange thing to me is that once it's in the late dry down, it's almost identical to Dior Homme 2020 (not Sport!). I noticed this, then tested it, and for sure it was nearly identical to multiple noses on a test strip. Granted, DH 2020 and DHS 2021 are similar to begin with. For $20 you absolutely cannot go wrong. Highly recommend.

Nose Note #595 Dior Homme 2020 is one of my favourites. This is what I could only hope for. This is close enough to replace the OG for me. Of course it lacks the exact bitterness, the absolutely perfect cedar note and just the umph in general, it's not as long lasting. But I have to say - the bitterness, the cedar - it's all there, it's not like half way or 75%, it's at least 90%. This is enough for me. Waiting for a stronger and better clone, but I've found this for $13 vs Dior Homme 2020 for $200. You know what I mean? 9.8/10, one of the best DNAs ever

This is good! Like surprisingly good for the price tag. The bitter citrus here smells fantastic, it has a classic vibe, fresh out the shower barbershop type of scent. This is mass appealing and as versatile as it gets for this scent profile. It reminds me of something like Allure Homme sport Superleggera, but less sweet, more emphasis on the bitter aspects of citrus, and a touch of resinous smokiness that makes this smell elegant, clean, and very masculine. Gatekeep worthy for sure. Smells way more expensive than what it is.

I just got this one today from Jomashop. It definitely smells fresh citrus with green-wood notes and some floral notes. . It gives me Issey Miyake vibes which I love. It also smells very similar to Naples by Gallivant which I owned. I don’t think it smells identical to Dior Homme Sport but it shares a lot of similarities. Performance should be average for this one. Safe blind buy. 4.5/5

A great alternative for DHS 2021 and DH 2020, opening it’s a bit synthetic but the next 5 minutes start becoming too similar to both. In the dry down is less sweet than DHS but still so close (90% imo), and performance it’s good, not as much as the OG But easily 6-7 hours on my skin. Great summer scent and versatile, solid 9/10

I bought 2020 homme and 2021 sport before I got this. I was just curious how it compared. Dark door honestly smells better to me.reminds me more of what the original dior hommes smelt like before the were reformulated. I can guarantee the performance won't touch the originals.

I've never smelt dior homme sport but this is a very nice fragrance. Very fresh and classy smelling. Moderate longevity and pretty good sillage. For 15 bucks you can't go wrong with this. 8.5/10.

This one is the exact same as DHS. I paid it less than 25€ Scent: 10/10 Longevity: stay on my skin more than 8 hours Projection: 6/10 not a beast but for the price i don't care Value: 10/10

Great smelling perfume for the price ($20) but the performance is poor I layer it with lattafa Asad and they go really good together because they both smell like lemon coca cola to me

Update: it’s been almost two months and all I can say is that smells 95% close to the original but projection is below average and longevity is about 3-5 hours. Not bad for under $20

This is 1:1 Dior Homme Sport dupe but initially it is not as strong because it has to macerate like most of Middle East brands. Good fresh woody citrus fits almost every occasion.

This is a really good fragrance, not too synthetic neither natural, i don’t know how the original smells but this is a solid one, performance is above average

totally agree with the review below me: lasts on my skin over 12h and when compared to the original, prolly 5% difference. LOVE IT

Why does it smells like Old spice orginal to me but fresher and uplifting. Moderate performance.

@rodrickwan177 for the price, go ahead. It deserves it
