They say it’s discontinued, but I picked up a 2019 batch. It smells like the 90s in all its glory, like Faconnable but younger and brighter, without being as cold or minty. As it dries down, it leaves an interesting bitterness, likely from that tomato leaf—a rare and far-from-boring note. It’s not sweet or citrusy like today’s trends; instead, it’s a fresh aromatic with character, making it unique and retro. Perfect for casual wear and time travel. It’s a US Cologne, lasting about 5-6 hours, not projecting much but giving bursts when reactivated by heat. Simple box, and under $15 for 100ml if you get it as a gift.

They say it’s discontinued, but I grabbed a 2019 batch. It smells like the 90s in all their glory—think Faconnable but younger and brighter, without being too cold or mentholated. As it dries, it leaves an interesting bitterness, likely from that tomato leaf note; it’s rare and far from boring. It’s not sweet or citrusy like modern scents, but rather fresh and aromatic with character, making it unique and retro. Perfect for casual wear and time travel. It’s a US Cologne lasting about 5-6 hours; it doesn’t project much but throws nice bursts when reactivated by heat. Simple packaging, and for under $15 for 100ml if you’re lucky enough to find it as a gift.

For anyone tired of sweet perfumes: this made me smile the moment I smelled it. It’s a green masculine scent with slightly bitter flowers and a fresh mossy musk. Liz Claiborne Sport isn’t super sporty, but it has a very gentlemanly, American freshness. It’s an excellent fragrance that steers you away from those cloying, sugary smells that disgust us daily. Thanks and greetings.

I was gifted this, and it’s a disaster. There’s something about it that neither my wife nor I enjoy. There are plenty of other fresh and affordable options out there.

Definitely not a fan of the green aromatic family. It starts with ginger and tomato leaf, but then sage and coriander take over with a hint of cardamom. That sage and coriander blend is just not for me. I didn’t detect lavender, and the wood notes are minimal, same with the cedar. Seems made for sport, summer, or spring for daytime wear. The trail is soft but lasts from moderate to long, about 7 hours, staying close to the skin.
