Perfect summer masculine!
Caron is criminally underrated. A classic french house, pretty much a true Niche brand (not available everywhere, pretty original and with perfumes as the main business).
Pour un homme is one of the pillars of Lavender masculines. A gorgeous and very natural lavender with vanilin and some musks in the base. Simple but memorable.
This Sport edition is a more fresh and green version of the original, without vanilla but, instead, with some Ambergris in the base. It starts like the original, with a burst of Lavender, very powdery, masculine and upscaled or, at least, gentleman-like.
What differs completely from the original is the mid and drydown. The star here is the Lemon verbena. A grassy, green, lemony scent that is reminiscent of tea (and is great for infusions). The fragrance turns fresher and slightly citrusy and green due to this ingredient. There's also some cedar to make it more rounded and masculine and the drydown reveals ambergris. A salty and slightly sweet ingredient.
Overall a fresh, salty, green and a bit sweet fragrance, excellent for summer and spring days with decent longevity and good projection in the first hour or so.
An underrated gem that needs more attention and is highly recommended by me as a great and unique fragrance for this upcoming summer.
