  At first, somewhat undefined citrus mixed with green herbs, perhaps a touch of absinthe. Then, oakmoss, vetiver, woods, and a soft patchouli. In short, it’s the ‘Fresh’ version of Paco Pour Homme: moderate trail and lasts 7 to 8 hours. It’s more relaxed than the original, but not a youthful fragrance; it leans towards green or chypre aromatics. Ideal for intermediate seasons and daytime wear.

  Classics know how to reward you if you treat them with care. If you try this PR Sport, you’ll smile: back in its day, ‘sport’ didn’t mean lasting two hours or being invisible in an elevator; it meant a gentle beast with projection and concentrated longevity. It breaks the current cliché of soft or citrusy scents, offering something stimulating yet refined and versatile. It relaxes the 70s style with green herbal veins that, after half an hour, evolve into a mentholated and soapy interpretation while the spices soften; that soapy note marks the entire journey. At five hours, vetiver and oakmoss close with a masculine character, balancing the bitterness with the sweetness of sandalwood and amber. Maybe it’s time to rescue a forgotten bottle on some shelf. Optimal, with 8 hours of longevity on my skin, a supremely refined work with comforting presence.

  An interesting alternative to the original Paco. It’s not as ‘Sporty’ as it seems, at least to today’s nose, but it is definitely a ‘Sport’ version tailored for the 80s. Nowadays, it’s normal to see thousands of variants of the same perfume in a few months, but back then it wasn’t like that. In the case of the original Paco, I imagine they wanted to give it a different touch to fit better into that new decade. I don’t think it was due to poor sales, because the original Paco kept selling like water back then, a legitimized classic that lasted until our days. Let’s describe Paquito Sport: it opens with a spectacular, sparkling, juicy mandarin note, sometimes slightly bitter-sweet, making you visualize its peel and fruit olfactorily. A soft mint intertwines perfectly with this juicy citrus aroma, accompanied by fine herbs. The herbal part of Paco Sport is delicate; it doesn’t try to be overwhelming. While the classic Paco gives an explosion of lavender, bergamot, moss, geranium, and a somewhat dirty cedar/vetiver woody combo, the Sport caresses you with its well-executed, playful, sparkling citrus part, almost like a relaxant between its mint and mandarin. But that’s not all; as time passes, it reveals a tiny touch of vetiver rising from its heart to the surface (which is a bit more herbal than at the start). Is there anything of the classic Paco left in Paco Sport? The answer is: almost nothing. In fact, in the opening they are quite different, pointing in opposite directions, but something in the dry down, a few hours in, can give you a hint of its lineage. While the trail is moderate and stays close to the skin, the longevity is colossal. I liked it a lot.

  This was the first perfume I bought in 1990 when I was 13; my dad wore it, and when his bottle ran out, I took a 30 ml bottle for myself. I’m sure that age wasn’t enough for me to need more. I have the fresh, citrusy, and soft woody scent etched in my memory, nothing like the other 80s fragrances of the time and absolutely nothing to do with PR Pour Homme. It’s like a cousin to Eau Sauvage and the 1984 Armani Eau Pour Homme, which I owned later in the ’90s, but I’ve never found this one again.
