Hilfiger Athletics

@silver_shadow I had this fragrance a while back and only recently smelled Truth for men. I would say that while they are are in the same category of fresh scents with an aquatic feel, they are certainly not so similar that you can't own both. The CK leans more watery and green with lighter citrus while Hilfiger is much more prominent with the citrus and grass up front, and is a brighter feel overall with bergamot grass and what I think is a candied Ginger note that I get these days in Burberry sport and Lacoste l12.12 yellow. It's very nice. Longevity is actually pretty good on the Hilfiger with an aquatic light musk drydown lasting 6-8 hours on me. Great for summer use or hot weather. I would definitely get this again if it wasn't so hard to find where I am now that it's discontinued. If you can get this at a decent price you won't be disappointed.

This is one of my all time favorites hands down. This was almost the only thing I wanted for christmas 1998 or 99 and I was so disappointed when I got the normal TH. Even with the bottle I picked up being 20 years old, and seems like it might be going stale or whatever it is, I love this stuff. It's super sharp and powerful with the anise especially until the dry down. After, it's such an amazing grapefruit smell. One of my other favorites is Happy. This has great longevity and projection as well. I havnt found a citrus that lasts this long and just like another review mentioned, if you have this on during the day, and then go work out, it comes right back.

Although I have been collecting fragrances for many years, including niche, this has to be one if the greatest ever released. I liked this so much I bought all the associated products. This is fresh, clean and smells I credible after a workout. I have never had so many unsolicited compliments from both women and men as I did when I wore this. Sadly if you manage to track down a bottle it has probably spoiled. Don't make the error I did in buying all the fragrances that purport to smell like this as they don't. This was Hilfiger's best fragrance by a country mile but of course Hilfiger in their wisdom decided to discontinue it!

Love this one and finished a 50 ml bottle fairly quickly when I had it about four years ago. I remember it was sweet, citrusy and woody without being overwhelming. I would buy another bottle but they're nowhere to be found. Just a feel-good and care-free 90s summer fragrance just as the ad suggests. Too bad it's been long discontinued and hard to find nowadays.

One of my favorite all time summer sport colognes. After a good workout and a shower, i'd spray this on and feel like conquering any task with ease. Its a shame that this is discontinued and my bottle is near the end.

i had this one more than ten years ago i used to love it, now i can't find it anywhere in mexico, do you guys know any other that smells almost exactly like this? please let me know, i'd really apreciate it

A discontinued gem. Wear it and enjoy yourself. Not a scent to please others. I would have bought a barrel if possible to keep this for rest of my life.

best light summer scent ever, and best scent from tommy hilfiger ever. Underrated,if it was from Dior, YSL or Chanel it will be a bestseller (10/10)

Best from Tommy... but discontinued

I must confess I am a completist: if there is a house that releases something I like I will TRY all that house has to offer. This is the case with TH; I have all the mens releases except Freedom (sadly out of production now) and two summer releases and all are decent scents. Some are better than others, of course but there is a place in my life for each one... Hilfiger Athletics came out in support of TH's Athletics clothing line which when it came out I assumed would be workout wear and it is casual but not strictly for sports activities. So too with this juice, sporty but not a SPORT fragrance. (thank the Gods!) This one opens with bittersweet citruses and warm anise, an uplifting and zingy combination fresher and more ethereal than Pi NEO's opening notes. The heart avoids the lavender-floral clique and gets real earthy with a grass and sage pairing that is not fresh mown grass and fresh sage but more a cool tropical grass with dried sage rubbed to release its essence. Avoiding the scent-by-numbers approach yet again it has a single basenote of cotton flower: imagine a fresh linen scented floral, that calms the spicy green citric scrimmage and you have Athletics... Sillage: slight to average Longevity: decent Overall: 3.25/5 This is a truly fresh scent in its formula and its approach to scent.(Note the inverted olfactive pyramid) Very natural down to earth scent for young and old alike, after the grapefruit & bergamot fade the anise continues to sweeten the herbs and grass until it meets the soft clean basenote a couple hours later. Not your typical mens 90s frag but a breath of FRESH air...

I agree this instead of athletics, it's a sport fragrance. I used it and a kind of spritz that you would want to go out to grab a newspaper or lunch. Smells very fresh, lemony and a hint of spice. I don't know what would replace this at present days but this one, if ever produced again I'm sure buying it.

Takes me back to 98/99 travelling round Australia. I picked up a bottle of this in a duty free shop at Manchester airport on my way to the land of Aus. Amazing scent. Didn’t last ages, but it was a beast. Citrus, grapefruit and grassy tones a plenty. One for the warmer climates. Shame it was discontinued.

english style like ted baker pride of england and mirk birley.but very very light version.aristocrat teenages :))) this is much wearable for teens IMHO. sillage is very weak.

wow i had this when it 1st came out, i loved it, shame its no longer made :(

The best men's scent ever from Hilfiger. Ironically, discontinued.

I was given a bottle as a gift back in high school, when the fragrance first came out, and ended up smelling like a grapefruit for weeks. For that, I humbly apologise to my schoolmates, teachers, friends, and ex-girlfriend.

I hated this scent so much when I received it as a handy-me-off from my uncle in the early 2000s. Sweet and cloying.

I remember Tommy and we called this Tommy Sport. At the time both were very pleasing to teenagers in the 90s. It was very popular at the time as was all his clothing. This was as popular as the Nevica jackets everyone used to buy with the locator in the arm that if you snap people could find you lol, and just like the jacket his brand seemed to vanish. His line seems to be making a comeback as stores like USC have his brand in store a lot. Maybe he will release this again? I wish i had a locator for a real bottle of this just for notalgia as i remember this being my favourite over the Tommy. I distinctly remember the yellow box and the off center atomizer. Heh, good times.

This was a great moderately priced fragrance back when TH was more popular. I tried it today. Projection and Longevity are weak. It's very green and a tad floral. My key observation is that green citrus fragrances seem to work with star anise. Athletics doesn't turn sour on my skin. If it were available today as a cheapie, I do believe it would do well, but this competes with 20 dollar fragrances, not 50 dollar fragrances. The best thing about this fragrance is that it isn't cloying in the heat. I'd buy it for 20 dollars, just because the bottle is real nice. In conclusion, I'd like to see another green citrus fragrance with star anise. It would work.

Last night was 66 degrees here in Miami. Inside my place it was about 70. This is the perfect temperature to wear this sour fruit fragrance. Tangy citrus. Thank you Erik1946 for the present. I first purchased a bottle at Burdines back in the 1990's with my Tommy Hilfiger shirts. The price was 40 dollars back then for a bottle. I just felt it completed the outfit. Now fragrances have nothing to do with outfits because outfits by name brand designers are so expensive. Stop buying designer fragrances.
