Maybe not sporty, but still fresh...

A great fresh fragrance that can be used most of the year and the only "Sport" fragrance I've yet found worthy of owning apart from Dior Homme Sport.

The first times I tried it, I got a slightly plastic-y impression the first couple of minutes, but this must come from the "aquatic" notes and takes the backseat after some time.
The opening consists of bergamot and grapefruit, followed by a heart of nutmeg, ISO E Super with cypress and a hint of ink (though not as pronounced as in the original EN) and finally settling of a base of earthy vetiver, some musk and woody cedar notes.

Maybe not quite as bold and interesting as the original EN, but much more versatile. As mentioned earlier, this is a fitting fragrance for most of the year, only would it probably be too light for very cold seasons. If you're looking for a rich and still refreshing scent to be used for most occasions without breaking the bank, this is a great option. Projection is decent and longevity is good and overall it comes off as a lighter and less smoky version of the original.
