Fresh Scent
I like fresh and citrusy scents. And this fragrance feels more robust after the woody heart note. It's a completely different direction from Yves Saint Laurent. Most fragrances from Yves Saint Laurent lean towards the spicy oriental direction, while this one goes in the fresh direction. The longevity is decent at 6 hours. The sillage is also acceptable.

Since when does YSL have eunuch eggs?
Kouros, M7, Rive Gauche, Pour Homme... and those are just the most prominent ones from the men's line. All groundbreaking, grandly daring fragrances. And for some time now, YSL has only been releasing unnecessary flankers to its bestseller and flagship L'Homme. I believe it’s hard to get any less bold than this. With this, YSL has reached a new low, similar to Gucci. But unlike there, the great classics have not been completely discontinued, which is worth something.

L'Homme Sport is, in short, the original, just lighter, more citrusy, duller, more summery, and therefore certainly not a bad fragrance. But it has as much justification and sense to exist as a broken little toe. A creamy-serious apple, for all fans of Boss Bottled or those who find the original too heavy for high summer. However, I would definitely still prefer to use the original even in summer, just with a restrained finger on the spray head. The scent feels like an aldehyde- and iron-infused L'Homme and is not particularly suited for any sport. Cardamom is in every second new designer bottle anyway, so to speak the sweet all-purpose weapon that simply annoys and frustrates me with such releases. And that with a fragrance that actually smells fine. Times change and so do you!

Bottle: used to be nice... but even that annoys me by now.
Sillage: summer-appropriate, muted, and lighter than L'Homme.
Longevity: 5-6 hours withstand a vigorous workout.

At least with the once super successful L'Homme line, YSL has now reached Boss level and annoys those I know. Better to discontinue everything except for the two origins of this L'Homme plague... because La Nuit and the original are worth every cent and real gems!

Even flankers can be made into a sport
The topic is not new: anyone who already has a successful fragrance "on the market" and launches further flankers more or less profitably inevitably wants to bring out a sport variant as well.

Of course, this is legitimate and tempting from a short-term economic perspective, but it could dilute the brand in the long run. With all the flankers of L'Homme, hardly anyone can keep track anymore, so the sport variant doesn't really matter anymore.

At least L'Homme Sport comes just as one would imagine: classic with a high citrus content, somewhat pleasantly bitter at the beginning, then a bit sweeter later on. If you dive in a bit too deeply, its artificiality is revealed, which can be forgiven due to some fresh and well-balanced light spicy notes. Besides aldehydes and bergamot, the individual components are difficult to identify.
It feels like 2/3 of all shower gels that can be perceived between the shower stalls of typical fitness studios or swimming pools smell similar.

This is somewhat acceptable, but from YSL, I would expect more than just a red stripe and an average shower scent in the bottle from a quality sport flanker of the L'Homme series. Back then, the label was considered quite innovative olfactorily. It seems they have moved away from that, as here they prefer to extract a lot from the umpteenth flanker with little effort and investment. One could also see it as sporty, but it is not!

L'oooongweilig! The End of the Cash Cow...?!
Hard to believe, but among all the Night, Nuit, Black, Dark, and Intense fragrances, a Sport perfume has made its way back! Surprising, since the boom of dynamic representatives was already two years ago and has noticeably faded...!

However, since there is already an "intense" counterpart with L'Homme Parfum Intense, L'Homme Sport has long been overdue! I now adapt "L'Homme" to "L'ooooongweilig"! With "Sport," this is already the 11th offshoot - practically a whole football team! More shouldn't come, aside from further unnecessary Eau d'été's...the cash cow is, in my eyes, really milked dry, and it's time for something completely new (see, for example, L'Homme Idéal by Guerlain)!

Nevertheless - the bottle - still always stylish and masculine. But no longer as high-quality as it once was. Connoisseurs know that the massive metal cap has unfortunately had to give way to cheap plastic! The spray tube is kept in typical "Sport" red. The face, always - unlike the flankers - is the French actor Oliver Martinez! This time sleek on a motorcycle and in a black trench coat!

As for the scent - the opening impresses with a lovely shiny bergamot. It gently settles in the nose. A mild, slightly sweet citrus aroma makes me think of Dior Homme Sport and The One Sport by Dolce & Gabbana. In my opinion, the direct scent twin is the new Boss Bottled Unlimited. The classic L'Homme Original, on the other hand, comes across as really distinctive and angular!

As it develops, floral, spicy notes (cardamom) already signal the fading of the scent! After half an hour, the fragrance retreats more and more - I can no longer perceive it after two hours! Disillusionment sets in! The drydown is a generic mix of dry, woody nuances. Absolutely monotonous and interchangeable - present in a thousand other men's drugstore fragrances!

L'Homme Sport doesn't offend, but it also doesn't stay in memory! It lacks depth, character, and flair! I also miss the typical L'Homme lemon note that runs through the entire progression. The longevity with sufficient dosage is about 6-7 hours...most of the time, however, the dull base takes over! Sillage is virtually zero...

In summary, L'Homme forms the crowning "L'ooongeweile" conclusion of the series! What started cheerfully and interestingly ended in bitter disappointment - no matter how relaxed, cool, and casual Monsieur Martinez cruises around on his scooter....

Whoever lets me down on bad days, I will forgo on good days! --> Lisa Zimmermann
Sport, xtreme, what else do I know. All these labels have been experiencing inflationary and sometimes annoying usage for about four or five years. This is the case with this offshoot of the otherwise good but also weak lhomme.
Unfortunately, I recognize nothing that makes me want to applaud. No, I bought this fragrance in a mood where I somehow thought of the good, new, excellent, to wear in over 30 degrees. Unfortunately, this is not the case at all. Now I have this bottle and find the synthetic flanker simply inappropriate. The father lhomme is somewhat similar to the Bottle from Boss. Also not really the egg of Columbus, but still wearable and acceptable. This Sport, however, in comparison to the Sports from Dior or Kenzo, simply falls short.
No Messieurs de Loreal, you have many better perfumes with style and charm, but this Sport is only male.
Unfortunately, the aldehydes are so dominant that the actual building blocks like bergamot or cedar are completely pushed aside. This remains the case even after a long duration. The scent unfortunately remains consistently uninspired and flat. From a design perspective, the presentation of the bottle is impressive. Still, it is always about the building blocks of a fragrance and not just the design.
Since I only know good fragrances from Loreal, I am very disappointed with this one and cannot understand how such an unfinished product could be brought to market. If something is not particularly good, even the best marketing is of no use. In marketing, one usually starts from the opinions or tests of consumers. This was probably somehow forgotten in the rush in Paris. Presumably, Monsieur Demachy from the other big fragrance manufacturer is so dominant that everything normal had to be thrown overboard in haste and fear.
I am eagerly waiting for a new fragrance surprise from Loreal, where I can once again be the first to sing a great hymn.

Amazing! Quite a bad review for a fragrance that leans towards Chanel's Blanche but costs only half. Good scent.

Quite nice, but too trivial and boring for the price range. You can get good fresh-citrusy scents for free. Still very wearable.

On my skin like L'Homme, just fresher and without the stuffy, sweaty "urine note." Longevity and sillage similar to the original. I like..

A somewhat contrived, aldehydic cyber athlete with acceptable quality - absolutely fine for uncomplicated fresh use.

It's still one of my summer scents, fresh and clean, but unfortunately it was gone faster than I could get a backup bottle :(

In my younger years, it was my signature scent for a while. Fresh, light, uncomplicated. Not complex, but solid. Fare well…
