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!

Better longevity, better top notes, better drydown than the original. To me it smell like a mixture of the original and L'nuit de L'home. If you are a fan of the house i wud definetly buy this one if u like the original. I own the original and guess wat....im still getting a bottle of sport bc i like it better. So if u have the original and u like this better forget wat people say about dont waste ur money gettng sport, if u like it better y not get it. You can always keep, sale, or just give away or old bottle.

Uplifting, refreshing and still masculine and elegant. The verbena and bergamot is a exquisite combination, a citrus scent without the harshness of lemon or lime. The coriander brings a spicy yet smooth note that mingles wonderfully with the top notes. It's like a dance that exudes freshness and airiness. Calling it sport may be a undeserved name. this is more of a casual, daylight, weekend type of fragrance. Either way, I would gladly wear it anytime of the year!

Really like this scent and was ready to spray it on a random guy to see what he would smell like. I almost bought it just so I can keep smelling it! My mum also liked it, so it must be a nice male scent to attract women ;) It has fresh opening notes, and is still quite masculine. Can't comment on longevity Compared it to original Home and liked this one better. I think anyone 30-50 can wear it. I can see one wearing it for work and def a daytime scent.

YSL never disappoints. I don't think this is the typical ultra light sport fragrance. It's more refined than that. Having said that, I think L'Homme Libre is way better. La Nuit is also a more refined composition, but it can be only be worn in cold weather/night. If you want something similar to L'Homme Sport, try Zara Collection Summer Pour Homme. It's very similar, but the Zara doesn't get all things right, so it can be a bit ordinary and offensive.

Don't listed to the idiots who are SO offended by the fact YSL made a sport flanker. Personally, I like this one. It does have your typical citrus burst at the beginning but it soon dries down into a smooth woodsy, amber scene and hints at the original L'homme. Sure it's nothing earth shattering but for a Sport, it has some uniqueness that's missing in many others. Fresh and relaxing. Good job, YSL

I have a 2014 bottle of this and I get 6 to 8 hours It is a subtle fragrance but I find it ideal for the office as it is fresh, not overpowering and doesn't announce itself and most importantly, it's masculine Also sexy and I know it lasts as a skin scent because my wife has smelt me around 12 hours after applying stating my neck "smells like an abercrombie store"

If you need better performance and you like Yves Saint LOreal LHomme Sport go for Kenzo Homme EDP or Invictus Acqua. Unfortunately both mentioned are very harsh and generic to my nose. YSL Sport is in my opinion an upgraded YSL L'Homme and I sold it to buy Sport which is way more fresh and better. Also Avon Aspire 2016 shares similar DNA if you are on a budget :)

This is a very nice fragrance, the scent is very fresh and summery, however it lasts 3 hours, projects between an arm length for the first hour, second you can still feel it in your skin, no projection, third hour is just a skin scent. The scent is really good, but performance is low probably because it is a sport fragrancce. It probably requires 20+ sprays

I tried this in duty free today and thought it smelled super nice so put two sprays on my wrist (17:30). By the time I had flown and caught the train home from the airport (20:00) I could no longer smell it at all, not even a trace! This juice is so weak it is unbelievable. It is a real shame because I thought I had found my new summer scent :(

Such a lovely fragrance that doesn't last long on my skin! I have to reapply after an hour. Otherwise, it's excellent! Now THIS is a cologne that REALLY smells like cologne! Fine, super clean, fresh spicy, lemon verbena, energizing, and herbal. I really love it but I'm on the fence about buying a bottle because the longevity is SO BAD! UGH!!!

I just tried this again in the store. It's such a great smell but the longevity is one of the weakest in the game. If this was the same price as Versace Pour Homme I could justify it but it's still pretty expensive (at least here in Germany) for a designer frag with 2 hours of longevity. Such a shame :(

UPDATE: I caved in and bought a bottle, the 2015 formulation. The performance has remarkably improved. I've worn it multiple times since purchasing it and have gotten at least five hours each time. So now it's worth it! With 3 sprays from this morning, it's lasted 7 hours on my skin. =)

There is a mistake in notes breakdown: Official according to YSL website, basenotes and parfumo.net are: Top: Aldehydes, Bergamot Verbena Middle: Elemi resin, Cardamom Base: Amber, Cedar it was nothing extraordinary but a very nice frag, sadly discontinued :( 7/10

Man I love the smell of this. I just wish it lasted longer. The only thing I’ve found that comes close to it is Burberry hero EDT. But that one doesn’t last much longer either. Really wish clone houses were around the time this was new.

Very soft and fresh, slightly better than the original l'homme and much better than the other ones. The citrus scent of it is very subtle and also kinda sweet. I really like it and the longevity is moderate along with the sillage
