Sporty Citrus

I am not one of those who get compliments about my perfumes on a daily basis. To be honest, it doesn't happen that often. However, Sporty Citrus, is actually the one(apart from Amazing Grace) that people compliments me on quite often. I love to smell nice and I love hearing it. So I tell them it is Sporty Citrus by Michel Kors. Like many others already have said, this name does not fit the perfume at all! It makes me think of a fresh showergel. But I saw the beautiful glassbottle and decided to (still)give it a try. I am glad I did. I spritzed my wrist and had to go back to the store the next day to buy the perfume. I really fell in love with Orange Blossom. Beautiful scent. Not a citrus splitz-splash, but a soft, warm scent that actually stays on my skin quite a while. It is most often only noticed by someone who is sitting close to me. If you are looking for a perfume that that can be smelled after you have left the room, this is not it. Don,t get me wrong. I love TM Angel. But most of the time I want to wear something more soft and feminine. And this is it: Sporty Citrus, IMO, the worst name ever, but at the moment, one of my absolute favourites.

So I like citrus, but when I got my rollerball of this in the mail, I decided right away that it is not full-bottle worthy. Here we are a year later and I am searching for the best deal on a full-size bottle. At first (last year) I thought that it was too sharp of a citrus. It was so strong that it shocked me and smelled even a bit masculine to my nose. It is funny how my taste has changed so much over the last year of collecting perfumes. I never ever thought I would ever ever like an oud scent, and that now, mixed with rose or citrus, is the BEST. Now in my collection, all of the bottles that I adored the first year of collecting, basically sit on a shelf. I discovered Kilian and Byredo recently and am in love with many of those. Just takes a bit longer to save for my new taste. This is supposed to be a review about Sporty Citrus and I kind of got off track, but the main point that I am trying to make is even if you get a perfume that you don't love right away, do keep it because your taste may evolve over time, and it could become a favorite later, just like what happened to me with this frag.

I can't believe how much this smells like Ange Ou Demon Le Secret on my skin. I wondered when I tried this on today why it smelled so familiar, and why I loved it so much! At first it is quite green & citrusy, then calms down to a slightly (very slightly) masculine, fresh, herbaceous scent. Then an hour or so later it settles into a sexy, earthy citrus floral. Don't let the "masculine" description put you off if, like me, you're not a fan of unisex fragrances. This is more a strong, confident woman rather than truly masculine. Mmm-mm-mmmmmm...

I also had my interest caught from the scented store flyer and ordered it. It warms on my skin quickly and has a warm musky (in a good way) orange scent. It is not a dusty musk. Everything blends and smells wonderful. Sticks to the listed notes. I have had it on all day now and still smell it on my skin. I didn't notice huge sillage but that's fine with me. I've gotten wisps of it all day. A blind buy and a keeper. It reminds me in a way of a simpler orange version of Hermes Jour De Hermes with a tad more musk. Both are great scents!

not at all sporty! but great fragrance with pretty good sillage and longevity. It is really chic, a bit chypre but with more citrusy notes. I used to wear it till my mom (who is 74) "found" it and took my bottle! well it smells on her great too (usually on women of that age perfumes tend to smell a bit weird) very fresh! it reminds me a lot of "Still" by J.Lo which is a favorite, but discontinued.
