More Than Sport

Burberry Sport goes on with a realistic fresh grapefruit scent mingled with orange; it has the zing of grapefruit and the heart of orange. Within ten minutes, spices come out to support it, and it smells great! The spices are well-blended with the grapefruit, so much so that you'd think that a spice-laden grapefruit had fallen off some tree, instead of two separate notes meeting for business somewhere. With a little sweat and time applied, it smells a bit astringent, more spicy-animalic.

It loses its medium projection after about an hour or so, and by 4-5 hours, it is a skin scent. At times, Burberry Sport reminds me of a more mature John Varvitos; fortunately, it has conquered JV's horrific short-gevity. After 5 hours, it comes up around me now and again in an ethereal wafting way, much like Burberry for Men. Odd.

As a skin scent, it's a spicy-grapefruit-animalic-aromatic deal with the grapefruit predominant. The animalic vibe is genuine; at the end of the day, one of my cats is licking my wrists right where this scent was applied. It lasts at least eight hours.

I've not followed the sports fragrance market, so I can't speak with any authority on what they are supposed to do or not do; my general impression is that they are supposed to smell fresh and clean, and cover up light workouts. In this, Burberry Sport does a good job, although I'm hesitant to call it a pure sports fragrance, due to its interesting evolution. I would say it's a sporty fragrance, but it's not stereotypical or ordinary.

The overall effect it has is one of energy, youthfulness, "in" without being snobby, a little daring, and masculine without being overbearing. Finally, the bottle -- although it's plastic, it's one of the most visually appealing and engaging bottles I own. It invites you to open it and hold it.

All around, Burberry Sport is a class act.

Boring and uninspiring

I'm not too convinced that Burberry Sport for Men is indeed a sports fragrance. It's not as fresh as I thought it would be. In fact, this fragrance could be worn in Winter.

Burberry Sport for Men is mostly fizzy and citrusy ginger. Grapefruit seems to be the most dominant accord in this scent pyramid, which smells fairly strong to my nose, especially in the opening. It has a very aquatic feel to it, mostly brought about by the rather synthetic sea water accord and the cedar, which resembles the scent of pencil-shavings.

Luckily the ginger in this fragrance is pleasant and balanced. The ginger is slightly refreshing like ginger ale, and has a rather spicy edge. I can't seem to detect the wheat note. It doesn't register to my nose.

Unfortunately I find this fragrance quite generic and boring. It's not something I'd particularly want to smell on a man in the gym. It leaves me feeling disappointed and uninspired.

I do however like the bottle design. I find the black rubber outer-casing very handy and aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

The lasting strength is relatively good, as is the sillage, which may perhaps be in certain situations, a little too strong and in-your-face. All in all, Burberry Sport for Men is passable in my books, but definitely not an exciting new release.

Gift Tip!

Well, I have my issues with the brand Burberry. So far, nothing from them has really appealed to me. My Burberry London - why on earth did I buy that - is languishing in the back row. And now, of all things, the new trendy sport fragrance is supposed to change that?

To get straight to the point: This is something very simple, nothing grand. Very mainstream and right in line with other current sport fragrances. As such, this perfume primarily features a light, lemony top note that, in my impression, is enhanced with aldehydes. It’s not too strong, but rather quite watery. However, it is long-lasting. After all, it plays the main role - typical for its kind. It probably doesn’t have much to do with real lemon/bergamot. But it is pleasantly understated, fresh but not too sour. Thus, it likely appeals to (almost) everyone. In this style, I find it directly comparable to Cartier's Roadster Sport and perhaps also to the new sport fragrance from Gucci.

But - then something else comes along! Namely, an elegant musk-moss?-cedarwood base. Very masculine, surprisingly old school, and stimulatingly physical.

This contrast between synthetic freshness and animalistic physicality is probably why I lingered on it a bit. Not that I would buy it now. I own other, better perfumes. But it’s just OK. You can’t go wrong with it. Thus, it makes a great gift, as this scent pleases everyone. The respectable fragrance pyramid would certainly be ignored; I didn’t find much of that again. All in all, I am positively surprised; because in this category, there are worse options.

"Welcome to Sport..."

This is what a sport fragrance smells like to me. I'm not really a fan of sport scents, but today the Turquoise ones had this fragrance on offer. Sprayed it in the store, and it actually smelled quite good. So, I just took it with me because it was €10 cheaper than usual.
Then I also ordered the ICE from Burberry, just received 3 calls from the nice ladies saying there are problems with the order, but now they managed to get something at the branch in Münster, and as compensation, I get a €5 discount, very kind of the ladies. :)

So, back to the "Sport"..., um, excuse me, "Sport". I just sprayed it on and I'm trying to describe what I can smell. It definitely smells quite good. I perceive something fresh and pleasant. Citrusy or bergamot-like somehow. Nice and light, not a heavy hitter scent that has made its way into my collection. However, this fragrance seems familiar to me. I've been thinking the whole time about what it reminds me of.
It’s probably some Adidas shower gel, right?? I don't know. If so, why would I buy something like that when Adidas shower gels seem too cheap to me? :D:D No, we don't want to bash the 3 stripes, to each their own. :)

But, it doesn't really matter. Burberry Sport will probably, as our Apicius already wrote, please everyone. If someone has a birthday again, I'll buy them Burberry Sport for Men and they will be happy.

Longevity is okay, I've had it on for about 3-4 hours now, it's still there and smells very nice. So, a good middle ground.

That's it from Sport... :D

Red Sea?

So, now Burberry has also managed to attach a rather dull plastic block and, as a bonus, a cheap rubber wristband with the unwelcome word "Sport." Considering that we are not exactly dealing with a niche representative of the high-price segment, one can certainly overlook the name; after all, "Weekend" or "Summer" have also been used up by Burberry.

The first thing that surprises in connection with sporty freshness is the color red. One suspects already that the indicated marine notes do not play the main role here. A sigh of relief goes through the ranks of the Boss and Klein-wallet holders. Ah yes, red ginger and juniper berries! Not only does it sound good, but it also smells like it and brings a refreshingly fruity contrast to the well-known, slightly stale Burberry house note (yes, the corporate identity guidelines have once again been implemented exemplary here), reminiscent of Kenzo's Indigo playfulness with a dandyish laissez-faire. I sniff berries like blackberries, blueberries, and other berries that aren’t even present and see Grandma standing by the canning kettle with a blue-red smeared apron. So far, it makes a good impression, but I often have sympathies for Burberry anyway. You see, I have to bridge the time as the base note takes a while to show up. Extension after the first half, something new.

The ginger/juniper duo holds up bravely, and the ominous marine note must be some high-tech gimmick because the persistently cool base mood at this late stage is quite surprising. With Cool Water and others, it worked with mint or menthol, but Burberry Sport has nothing green about it. Now it gets paradoxical, cool but still slightly cozy? As I read elsewhere, real experts don’t fumble around as clumsily as I do and speak of "spicy-ozonic." Thank you!

Well, amber, musk, and cedar still seem to be stuck in traffic somewhere... a glance at the clock... the scent lasts, who would have thought?

In summary, a welcome change in the locker room, less "Brit"-ish and more summery than The Beat. Burberry Sport cleverly avoids flat clichés and feels very modern without annoying with its certainly present but well-integrated synthetics. Well Wolfgang, here we have a bit of the free spirit you were looking for.
