  Another discontinued fragrance whose miniature I bought just to expand my perfume culture. But like others, I didn’t like it due to the very strong opening with a heavy green note, which I believe is the combination of absinthe and calendula (which I don’t dislike much on their own), but here they were potentiated with an overly green impression, a very soft bergamot, and other citrus notes almost absent. After 5 hours, on the skin, I perceived many undefined florals with an impression of wilted flowers. In the end, soft musk and a bit of sweetness with patchouli. Although I didn’t like it, I learned from it regarding notes whose combination I dislike to avoid in the future. I have many fragrances with absinthe in the opening, and if it’s not too strong, there’s no problem, and I have one with calendula that didn’t give me the strange impression of this one; therefore, I believe it’s the union of these notes that causes that green, chlorophyll-like impression that bothered me. It has moderate sillage (a bit heavy during the first three hours if over-applied) and longevity superior to 12 hours, feeling attached to the skin. Seems more oriented toward summer or spring, for daytime and informal activities. Honestly, I don’t know what Boss was trying to do with this fragrance; the only sporty thing it had for me was making me think of Wimbledon grass when I smelled it.

  Another out-of-production fragrance I bought in a miniature just to broaden my olfactory culture. Like others, it didn’t convince me due to that overly intense opening with a somewhat heavy green note, which I believe is the blend of absinthe and calendula (which I don’t mind much on their own), but here they were potentiated, giving an excessive green impression, with a very soft bergamot and other citrus notes almost non-existent. At the five-hour mark, on the skin, I noticed many undefined florals with a sensation of wilted flowers. In the end, a soft musk and a touch of sweetness with patchouli. Although I didn’t like the fragrance, I learned from it regarding combinations I dislike to avoid in the future. I have several with absinthe in the opening, and if it’s not too strong, there’s no problem, and I have one with calendula that didn’t give me that strange impression either, so I believe it’s the union of both notes that causes that green, chlorophyll-like sensation that bothered me. Moderate sillage (a bit heavy during the first three hours if over-applied) and longevity superior to 12 hours, clinging to the skin. Seems more suited for summer or spring, daytime and informal activities. Honestly, I don’t know what Boss was trying to do with this; the only sporty thing it had for me was making me think of the Wimbledon grass when I smelled it.

  Took the time to write about this fragrance that luck put in my hands and which I truly treasure. The version I have seems to be the original: a transparent pine-green bottle with sporty graphics (rackets) and a red plastic cap. Hugo Boss Sport belongs to another era; its DNA not only references the direct heritage of the glorious fougère era but also the times when perfumes were true nuclear bombs, where wearing one implied generating an aura of presence and status, just like Chanel’s Antaeus or Van Cleef & Arpels’ Pour Homme. Well, Hugo Boss Sport meets those standards. Its hyper-saturated citrus opening, mixed with a complex floral bouquet, is sustained and interwoven with a strong oakmoss note, both soaked in the classic lavender-vetiver combo. Overall, the presence is very classic; the ensemble is explosive, extremely rare, and undeniably masculine, pure fougère style but heavily recharged. Hugo Boss Sport is incredibly dense and complex, walking the razor’s edge of love-hate: over-applying it could ruin your day, and generally, I’d say it’s not an easy fragrance at all… it’s like a locomotive without brakes. Surely everyone who used it realized that removing the red cap was a serious commitment. However, if we can tame this beast, we’ll have a beautiful fougère whose classic core adds to the citrus-floral ensemble bursting from its depths: sandalwood, amber, and cedar molecules. Handled with extreme care (max 3 sprays), it’s a journey back in time for at least 8 hours… a beautiful reference to what perfumes were like in the 80s and the aesthetic canon of those days. This fragrance crosses impressions similar to those found in Lacoste Classic, Paco Rabanne Pour Homme, Worth Pour Homme, Lomani Pour Homme, to name a few. I honestly believe Hugo Boss Sport is a jewel within the Aromatic Fougère family for men, save for my best opinion.
