L'Homme Sport

In reading the reviews below, I was not surprised to see all the negative responses.... Seriously though fragheads: what do you HONESTLY expect.... To those who were seriously underwhelmed, I say to you: 2 WORDS: [Sport] {Fragrance}..... The majority of the sport frags out there have a very simple formula..... 1. Citrus blast in the opening (citrus notes) 2. A bit of woods to give the composition added depth 3. Tinker with a few notes here and there to keep it interesting and not so boring & linear (Rose, Jasmine, Patchouli, Musk, Aldehydes, Ginger, Amber......., etc) In the end, you'll get a rather safe, pleasant and innocuous scent with low-moderate projection and longevity.... Nothing ground-breaking, nothing that is earth shattering.... What I WILL SAY THOUGH is that you can CLEARLY distinguish between the really good sport frags out there as opposed to the flankers some perfumers pop out to milk the line for what its worth... This frag is almost right down the middle, but closer to the upper echelon.... It has that signature Yves Saint Laurent DNA and this us NOT some run of the mill fragrance house......... Lastly, if you're looking for the top of the line in sport frags, here's my Top 3 in no particular order... Just according to my nose guys..... 1. Dior Homme Sport 2. Chanel Allure Homme Sport 3. Tiffany For Men Sport *L’Eau D’Issey Pour Homme Sport Mint Issey Miyake (Honourable Mention)

I'm a female, and I recently got this for my boyfriend for Father's Day. I LOVE this scent!!!! I love the original, however my boyfriend is a really casual guy, and I noticed he wears colognes with citrus notes in them, so I felt more comfortable getting this scent over the original. It smells amazing on him!!! So much better than the test strip. The test strip smelled much more citrusy, and I didn't want to buy just another citrus cologne. But on my man, the citrus notes blend perfectly with everything else, resulting in a mysterious, sensual, manly, delicious, deep scent. The scent is dynamic and easy to wear (smell I should say) at any time of day! Works amazing into the night. Longevity is really good in my opinion... I could smell it on my man 12 hours later. Amazing scent! Ladies I would recommend this one as a gift for males in your life. I love this line so much, I cannot for the next occasion to buy another version, most likely the original :)

Wow. I really don't get the hate with this one. Could it be that everyone is just mad that the beloved YSL L'homme line has sold out by making a "sport" scent? Well if so you are all blindly hating and not giving this fragrance the proper respect that it deserves. It is a magnificent fragrance. To me it smells a bit reminiscent of platinum egoiste (which I absolutely love) but with a sportier, spicier edge to it. I think it's fantastic and anyone who has smelled it on me has made it a point to let me know that this is an awesome, sporty manly scent. Don't listen to all this blind hate. The dislike bar would be half the size smaller and the love bar would be that much bigger if all the people that voted on this actually smelled it instead of hating for the sole reason that the beloved YSL L'homme line has made a sport flanker....OH NOES!!!!

I'm not understanding why people on this site are saying that this smells like the original l'homme. The only thing I can think of is that people aren't actually smelling it, they are just reading previous reviews and saw a youtube reviewer vid telling them that if you have the original you don't need this. It's funny how the fragrance community lacks originality and honesty in reviewing. Hype trains derail a great scent because a few earlier reviewers who don't have a good nose started a negative hype train. You see this smells nothing like the original other than the core l'homme DNA that all the l'homme flankers have. How does citrus, sporty spice smell like gourmandish apple ginger? Some of you guys are genuine idiots.

Today i bought the fragrance after testing it a few days ago. I own the original l'homme for a while. So i can see the comparision. This sport starts of very fresh a bit synthetic i would say. Definetly not the best part. Fortunately the good thing is it turns slowly into an awesome scent. when the middle notes start to take over the top, which stay smooth present in the back to keep the freshness of the sport. it turns more into a sort of fresh l'homme version. But you also get the sweetness and warmth of the original out of the basenotes. It makes this one an awesome combination of fresh, sweet and woody. It's a great balanced fragrance. Fresh, sexy, woody with the sweetness of the original. It's a beauty!
