80's era "sport"

Yes I like this but, nope, not really a "Sport" scent to me, maybe I've grown accustomed to 90's and newer sport fragrances that are pretty much aldehyde/citrus/marine note bombs.

This shows its age in being such a strong oakmoss/lavender smeller.

I'm actually wearing this as I write and cannot help but picture a barbershop and shaving cream products.

It's a classic, maybe for the over 30 crowd, nice projection and life on my epidermis.

A strange, flowery and slightly soapy fougere with tons of notes...

Reviewing the EdT : Boss Sport is dry and herbal and well rounded by the slight sweetness of the tonka. Blended with loads of different notes, but the marigold (or actually tagetes, the french marigold) mixed with oakmoss gives off a piney and "dirty" sensation and the juice itself has a thick, almost oily feel, that's how concentrated it is. It actually does come across as a little soapy.

I'm not really sure why you would call a flowery fougere "Sport", but in my memory this is kinda how "sporty" guys smelled back in the eighties, not the citrus/aquatic sweet scents of today but heavy on the oakmoss and kinda industrial cleaner-like - weird stuff really.
Most prominent notes are marigold, oakmoss, tarragon, sage, lavender, patchouli, geranium, vetiver and tonka. Unfortunately it gives me a slight headache wearing this, but definitely worth a try.

Projection is average on me, but longevity is great.

Nothing quite like it

We owned a disused pasture when I was young. Each summer it became overgrown with weeds, brush, and wildflowers, so a man came by to Bush-Hog it almost down to the dirt. The smell of that field being mowed on a hot Midwestern day is indescribable.

Boss Sport evokes that heady mix of fresh vegetation indiscriminately chopped down at the same time, and it's a thing of beauty.

The sky's the limit

There are simply the ideal days for a particular fragrance. Today, for example, was one such day: sun-drenched, filled with warmth, spring unfolds its splendour. And yet you can still feel the freshness of the season. The first half of the day is marked for hours by the coolness of the night. A hint is in the air. Boss Sport is recommended on such days.

I think the unpretentious appearance of this fragrance is a boon. There's nothing fake here. Boss Sport serves up a spicy aromatic green spectrum that is both complex and transparent. The balancing act is successful throughout, even if the individual phases of the fragrance's development are quite different.

The freshness is moderate and pleasant. In the first few hours, a restrained sweetness that skilfully provides variety. Later, mossy aspects predominate, before the fragrance fades away in subtle bitterness.

1987, half an eternity ago. I wallow in nostalgia, which likes to transfigure things. And yet I dare to say that it was a great success at that time. Fresh, green, unagitatedly composed, binding in its statement. A coherent concept that still convinces me today. As if made for early spring days, when everything seems possible.

Why was it stomped on?

Even today I have the moment in mind when I discovered this fragrance. The bottle with its green color attracted me magically. When I tried the fresh, spicy scent, it was immediately clear to me that this is it: the incredibly unique fragrance. It was for several years, until it was no longer to be found on the shelves. Even today I don't understand how this fragrance can no longer be produced. That would still be my favorite today!
