Lapidus Pour Homme Sport

Let's start with the bottle, which prepares you perfectly for the scent inside. Cool, transparent glass and red/white upper casing. Fits in perfectly with my collection of contemporary bottles, a real looker on my shelf... Look closer. It's the original bottle, dummy, dressed up for 2015. This perfume is flat out weird. What? Feminine floral top notes, fresh accords swirling around somewhere, traditional masculine perfume elements of cedar patchouli and leather, foody accords of nutmeg and rosemary, some beastial animalic thing lurking beneath it all. Ahh, its Ted Lapidus all right. He's still there, right down at the bottom, with his hairy chest and gold medallion, staring back up at us metrosexual 2010s guys, laughing at us for thinking this was going to fit in with our aquatics and Bleu de whatever. And yet, I find this completely compelling, extremely interesting and wearable. It is so unique and demands my attention. If you can imagine it, this is Bvlgari Aqva Amara Extreme. Same orangey/floral/incense/aquatic/patchouli base but with much more mixed in. This is the kind of fragrance that makes me shake my head in disbelief that anyone would even dare to conceive of let alone market it. But I am so glad they did.

Masculine, unique, long lasting, and anything but your typical sport fragrance. In fact, I wouldn't call this a sport scent despite the name, although it does have a fresh aquatic undertone. However, it does have the original DNA of its father Ted Lapidus Pour Homme, a true masterpiece of masculine fragrances. Despite what others have said, there is definitely a slight Kouros vibe in this juice. In fact, I sometimes wear Kouros and the other day while wearing Lapidus Pour Homme Sport, a friend of mine commented, "Oh you're wearing Kouros again?" Albeit he's not one of a trained nose, but it does prove some people detect a little Kouros in this fragrance. If you over spray this it becomes even more like Kouros. Having that said, don't expect many comments from the ladies. This is a man's man juice. If wearing fragrances to get female attention is your thing, there are many other mainstream, safer and boring options out there that would work better. Yes, I'm looking at you Sauvage. All in all, I really like TLPHS because it ticks all the boxes I mainly look for in a fragrance... unique, masculine, long lasting and reasonably priced.

I want to know exactly what 'sport' they had in mind when formulating Lapidus Pour Homme Sport. There is this underline of animalic musk base, perhaps Synarome Animalis or Muscarome J5 that does link this flanker to the original and also recalls King Kouros. However, there is this smattering of herbs, Dihydromyrcenol (think Cool Water, kids), and sea-breeze aquatics that sheers out the funk. I am cracking up over Varanis Ridari's quip in his own review on Basenotes: "walking into a gym with this on will make people look at you like you're more interested in getting sweaty in the locker room than on the gym equipment itself, if you catch my drift." I do catch your drift, you sly devil, and I couldn't have said it any better. The collision of fresh and dirty makes it feel like a covert sex-capade. The salty herbs and sour aquatics seem to lend a "dripping sweat on clean skin" effect. I also want to note the big fat concord grape meets orange blossom accord that may read as a pink urinal puck, thus reminding me of drunken mischief in bar bathrooms after courting on the dance floor. Queue the song "Walk the Night" by Skatt Brothers.

Instant classic upon first sniff! It's a salty floral bomb surrounded by a small hint of that classic Lapidus PH vibe. It's faint, but there nonetheless. Other than that, this one is definitely different, although I woudn't put it in an alien universe somewhere out in outterspace, like what I originally expected with my blind purchase after reading the reviews here. Still though, I give Lapidus Sport very high marks for originality. I haven't found anything that smells close to it. And for geranium lovers, this is a utopian experience. This scent's really only achilles' heel is it's lack of power that the Lapidus line is typically known for. Why this house held back on this release, I'll never know. I love the packaging on Lapidus Sport! It looks great on my dresser, and I've been rotating it off and on my favorites shelf constantly. I have no plans to stop the habbit any time soon. The love factor just keeps growing with me since wearing Lapidus Sport on multiple occasions. I can guarantee you that this fragrance will eventually become a sought after gem. Buy now if you're a dude who loves florals! You won't regret it!

Lapidus Sport is one of my absolute main drivers. It ALWAYS sits on my favorites shelf and never leaves. It doesn’t resemble original Kouros as much as it does Kouros Sport, with the difference being that Lapidus Sport is much more unique. Is it more harsh and cheaper smelling than Kouros Sport? Yes. But extremely more unique, nonetheless. When I first smelled it back in 2016 (I think it was), the first thought that came to my mind was, “Instant legend”. I mean, I just love this thing. I’m very well aware that it’s not a “panty dropper”, but the thing is....this fragrance makes me happy. It really does. I rarely purchase back up bottles, but at the current price point, why wouldn’t I?? 10 years from now, I will be willing to hunt this down for several hundred dollars once it hits rare discontinued status. No one’s ever going to take it from me. Unique, unique, unique. 10/10

This is one of the most floral-forward fragrances marketed to men that I have ever smelled. Not to imply it's all florals, because it's not...I detect aquatic and woody notes, too, which become stronger in the dry down. It projects very strongly and I have nothing like this in my collection. For the incredibly inexpensive price I paid online, this was a fantastic buy for me. I sprayed some on my arm and had some Green Irish Tweed on the other arm and the two together are making me very happy. EDIT: the longevity of this EDT is insane. It didn’t last all day, but almost. Excellent performance for what I paid. And I am really loving this on my skin.

Ted Lapidus pour homme sport... ...is a fragrance I didn't think would be possible to create considering how intense and strong and opposite of anything sporty the original Lapidus pour homme is. Most ppl link sport scents with something ultra fresh and/or aquatic but very few sports fragrances achieve a kind of sportiness in a different way.. Lapidus pour homme sport smells like a pile of fresh hay at the beach sprinkled with herbs and flowers. Ab-so-lu-tely beautiful..... The far dry down has similarities with the original Kourous with an incense and patchouli touch. Longeivity and sillage are really good for a scent labelled sport.

What a gem of a fragrance this is! Still can be worn in modern days (2020) but comes off as a classic scent. Rather floral, and while 'Sport' may not have been the best moniker for this fragrance, I do understand the choice of that word as it is an invigorating, refreshing scent. One or two sprays is all you need, as this is a potent EDT like its brother Ted Lapidus Pour Homme. I tend to like this better than TL PH.. this one seems like the daytime TH and the PH seems like more of an evening scent. I digress. For the price this can be obtained.. just get it. You won't regret it.

This is a lovely (and unique) addition to the Lapidus family. It's an amazingly fresh juice and they have done a good job with this. Opens with marine citrus and soapy notes. The dry down reminds me of Rive gauche and a little Kouros Fraicheur but the Lapidus pour Homme is there too. It stays laundry fresh and the marine notes linger. Longevity and silage are good. This is one of the nicest fragrances I have bought in a while. Homme Sport is a real gem.

Finally got it after a long search and,wow!It's great!It starts very fresh then after 30 minutes it becames much more aromatic and persuasive and finishes in an animalic manly scent that roars a victory cry!Powerful long lasting and true to the original one(not like gold extreme),it is a total winner!it can perplex a bit the purist that search only freshness and light spices in a "sport" fragrance,that's true though.

I would call it "Lapidus Blossom" or "Lapidus Shape" It is very floral and soapy at the first sniff. Later something animalic introduce you the soul of the grey TLPH ... A kind of "here we are, same Lapidus DNA but floral and little bit actual" Really good but not for everyone. Not for teens. Not for sweet-marshmellow gym fans. For men +30 with character and personality.

The golden age aged well. Very classy and certainly a new sensation although this will not appeal to the majority. French Riviera vibes heading to the tables after an afternoon at the country club. I get the OG at the base, some cut citrus fruits, some cut florals and the scent of the Mediterranean. Excellent blend and has a retro/vintage feel to it.

I got it today. This is a dream - Lapidus and Kouros in one bottle. This is how Pierre Richard must have smelled in most of his movies :-) And it also has a little bit of Jacques Bogart One Man Show Gold Edition in it. I think Ted Lapidus and Jacques Bogart are one company now, so they seem to share some know-how :-)

This has been languishing in my collection for several years unopened. When I did, oh boy.. this is a cheapie?! The box and bottle do look meh but the scent, for a freshie, is unique with excellent projection and sillage. Underrated and under appreciated. A hidden gem

My smell has been jacked since February. Most of my bottles smell horrible to me. This life saver is one of the very few that still smells normal to me. If or when I recover from this bullshit, I will not forget. Lapidus Sport is a true friend.

Wow, this is very brave. Fresh, floral, a tiny bit soapy, slightly animalic & also aquatic and bitter. Like it’s a release from 1979. Amazing. Great performance also. Best suited for Springtime. Very close to Nino Cerruti from 1979! Love it!

Light, powdery. Very nice. (2 sprays) I have Lapidus Pour Homme and love that one as well. I have ordered Altamir and Alcazar to add to the collection. I also have Jaques Bogart silver scent pure in that shipment.

To add.....If you want a clean fresh laundry vibe - this is a good choice.

This doesn't at all smell like Lapidus PH in the grey bottle. I can understand why it's compared to Kouros (I've never smelled Kouros Fraicheur, but know the OG well). Read Karlovonamesti's reviews a few below mine if you want a note breakdown. It's like Kouros Lite, with a dab of orange soap. You could wear it while catching the tube to London Zoo. Unlike OG Kouros, fellow passengers wouldn't puke on your feet on the way, and bears wouldn't try to fuck you when you were there. But you could otherwise display all the wonders of the Kouros scent profile, and, in fact, your fellow passengers might actually come a little closer... Although actually, cancel that. It smells all day nose to wrist, but projects barely at all. But I love wearing it - it's got everything I like about Kouros, with none of the things I dislike. (I like animalics - Yatagan, Antaeus, Bal à Versailles are amongst my favourite scents. But Kouros... can't quite get there.)
