  Another discontinued fragrance; I bought the miniature solely to broaden my perfume knowledge. Like others, I didn’t enjoy it due to an overpowering opening with a heavy green note, which I believe is a combination of hyssop and calendula (neither of which I dislike on their own), but here they were intensified to create an excessively green impression, with very soft bergamot and almost absent other citrus notes. After five hours on the skin, I detected many indistinct florals with a scent of wilted flowers. In the end, there was a soft musk and a hint of sweetness from the patchouli. Although I didn’t like it, I learned from it regarding note combinations I dislike, so I can avoid them in the future. I own several fragrances with hyssop in the opening, and if it’s not too strong, there’s no problem; I also have one with calendula that didn’t give me this strange impression, so I believe it’s the union of these notes that caused that chlorophyll-like green impression that annoyed me. It has moderate sillage (a bit heavy for the first three hours if overapplied) and longevity exceeding 12 hours, feeling skin-deep. It seems more suited to summer or spring, for daytime and informal activities. Honestly, I’m not sure what Boss was trying to achieve with this fragrance; the only sporty thing it did was make me think of Wimbledon grass when I smelled it.

  Another out-of-catalogue fragrance I bought in a miniature solely to broaden my olfactory horizons. Like others, it didn’t quite convince me due to an overly intense opening with a somewhat heavy green note, which I believe is a blend of absinthe and calendula (neither of which bother me much on their own); here, they were amplified, creating an excessively grassy impression, with a very soft bergamot and the other citrus notes almost non-existent. After five hours, I noticed many undefined florals with a sensation of wilted flowers. In the end, a soft musk and a touch of sweetness with the 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 also didn’t give me that strange impression, so I believe it’s the union of both notes that causes that chlorophyllous green sensation that bothered me. Moderate sillage (a bit heavy for the first three hours if overapplied) and longevity over twelve hours, clinging to the skin. It seems more suited for summer or spring, daytime and informal activities. Honestly, I don’t know what Boss was trying to achieve with this; the only sporty thing it did was make me think of the Wimbledon grass when I smelled it.

  I took the time to write about this fragrance that luck placed in my hands and which I cherish. It is the original version: a transparent pine-green bottle with a red plastic cap. Hugo Boss Sport belongs to another era; its DNA not only pays homage to classic fougères but to a time when perfumes were true nuclear bombs that generated aura and status, just like Chanel’s Antaeus or Van Cleef & Arpels’ Pour Homme. Boss Sport meets those standards. Its hyper-saturated citrus opening blends with a complex floral bouquet and a strong oakmoss note, steeped in the classic lavender-vetiver combo. The presence is very classic, the blend is explosive, rare, and super masculine, pure fougère style but recharged. It is extremely heavy and complex, walking a tightrope of love-hate: if you overdo it, you ruin the day. It is not an easy fragrance; it is like a locomotive without brakes. Everyone who has worn it knew that removing the red cap was a serious statement. If you can tame this beast, you will have a beautiful fougère with a classic centre that contributes citrus-floral notes, with molecules of sandalwood, amber, and cedar. Handled with care (maximum 3 sprays), it is an eight-hour journey back to the past, a beautiful reference to what perfumes were like in the 80s and their aesthetic canon. It crosses impressions with Lacoste Classic, Paco Rabanne Pour Homme, Worth Pour Homme, and Lomani Pour Homme. I truly believe Hugo Boss Sport is a jewel within the Aromatic Fougère for Men family, save for its best opinion.

  I took the time to write about this fragrance that luck has placed in my hands and which I truly treasure. The version I have appears 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 period but also the times when perfumes were true nuclear bombs, where wearing one meant generating an aura of presence and status, just as Antaeus by Chanel or Pour Homme by Van Cleef & Arpels did. Well, Hugo Boss Sport belongs to those standards. Its powerful citrus opening, HYPER-SATURATED by a complex FLORAL bouquet, sustains itself and intertwines with a strong patchouli moss note, which has been infused with the classic lavender-vetiver combo. Overall, the presence is very classic; the blend is EXPLOSIVE, remarkably masculine, and as manly as possible, pure fougère style but re-charged. Hugo Boss Sport is extremely heavy and complex, walking a tightrope between love and hate: over-applying it could ruin your day, and generally, I’d say it’s by no means an easy fragrance… it’s like a locomotive without brakes. Surely everyone who used it realised that removing the red cap was a serious business. However, if we can tame this beast, we’ll have a beautiful fougère whose classic centre adds to the citrus-floral ensemble that bursts from its very core: sandalwood, amber and cedar molecules. Handled with extreme care (maximum three sprays), we’ll have a journey into the past, a time tunnel for at least eight hours… a beautiful reference to what perfumes were like in the 80s and what the aesthetic canon of those days was. In this fragrance, impressions similar to those found in Lacoste Classic, Paco Rabanne Pour Homme, Worth Pour Homme and Lomani Pour Homme cross paths. I truly believe that Hugo Boss Sport is a jewel within the Aromatic Fougère for Men olfactive family, barring my own best opinion.
