The mixture of my fresh body soap and the cologne is giving a *slightly* different and improved scent here, but it's not all that different so I think I'm clear to review. I'll spray right here, fresh, for the top notes.

This bottle is about 2 years old. It has developed a slight hint of mustiness, though it isn't devastating to its initial character.

MKHI Sport opens up with a very brash smack of flavored alcohol, like walking into a liquor store knowing there was a "busted box" mishap only minutes earlier. You just know it. It really smells like cheap spirits in a soggy box, from a run-down liquor store. Perhaps a glass handle of pre-made bottom shelf Mint Julep.

After it settles a minute, bergamot, dried orange peel, and dusty wood enter the picture. It still has a base of cardboard, balsa wood, dust, and spilled alcohol. Juniper, cardamom, and mint julep are the notes that stick around at the end.

The bottle has a matte finish, unlike its glossy brother, "Ocean". I think it's really aimed at teenagers or 20-somethings, but for 20 years ago. Nowadays, the stuff I wore at that age gets laughed at because kids have actual designer frags in their collection by the time they can drive. It wasn't like that in my day, I tell ya! Only dad could wear the good stuff and if you were lucky, he'd let you have a couple spritz for that hot date after letting you borrow the family car.

The performance on this isn't stellar, it falls off somewhere around the 90 minute mark. The projection is an inch. Sillage trail is good but not massive.

Looking at the price of....$46.00....(really?) from the Mary Kay website (these used to be in-person purchases only...look at me showing my age). With everything considered, Mary Kay's High Intensity Sport is simply too much money for what it is. It's merely a 2.5 oz bottle, offering nothing of note.

It's weak, yawn-able juice that you forget about as soon as you pull your nose away. You can probably get a similar "sporty" vibe and similar performance from a $6.99 Adidas cologne at Ross. What it has going for it is the black-on-orange color scheme, an awesome top-hat aluminum cap, and a fairly decent sprayer. If you want to smell like a minty bourbon cocktail and like you just locked up the local liquor store at 10pm, this is your ticket.
