  At first, somewhat undefined citrus mixed with green herbs, perhaps a touch of absinthe herb. Then, oakmoss, vetiver, woods, and a soft patchouli. In short, it’s the ‘Fraiche’ (fresher) version of Paco pour homme: moderate trail and lasts 7 or 8 hours. It’s more relaxed than the original, but not a youthful fragrance; it leans towards aromatic greens or chypres. Ideal for intermediate seasons and for daytime wear.

  Classics know how to reward you if you treat them with care. If you try this PR Sport, you’ll smile: in its day, ‘sport’ didn’t mean lasting two hours or being invisible in an elevator; it was a gentle beast with projection and the longevity of a concentrate. It breaks the current cliché of soft or citrusy scents, offering something stimulating yet refined and versatile. It relaxes the seventies style with green herbal veins that, after half an hour, evolve into a mentholated and soapy interpretation as 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. Perhaps it’s time to rescue a forgotten bottle from some shelf. Optimal, with eight hours of longevity on my skin, a supremely refined work with a comforting presence.

  An interesting alternative to the original Paco. It isn’t as ‘Sporty’ as it might seem to the modern nose, but rather a ‘Sport’ version tailored specifically for the eighties. Nowadays, it’s common to see thousands of variants of the same perfume appearing within a few months, but that wasn’t the case back then. In the case of the original Paco, I imagine they wanted to give it a different twist to fit better into that new decade. I don’t think it was due to poor sales, as the original Paco continued to sell like water during those times; it was a legitimised classic that has lasted until our days. Let’s describe the Paquito Sport: it opens with a spectacular, sparkling, juicy mandarin note, sometimes slightly bitter-sweet, evoking both the peel and the fruit itself. A soft mint weaves perfectly with this juicy citrus aroma, accompanied by fine herbs. The herbal side of Paco Sport is delicate; it doesn’t try to be overwhelming. While the classic Paco delivers an explosion of lavender, bergamot, moss, geranium, and a somewhat dirty cedar/vetiver combo, the Sport caresses you with its well-executed, playful, sparkling citrus facet, almost acting as a relaxant between its mint and mandarin. But that’s not all; as time passes, a tiny hint of vetiver emerges from its heart to the surface (which is slightly more herbal than at the start). Does anything of the classic Paco remain in the Paco Sport? The answer is: almost nothing. In fact, the opening scents are quite different, each pointing in a different direction, but something in the dry-down, a few hours in, can give a reminiscence of its lineage. While the trail is moderate and stays close to the skin, the longevity is colossal. I liked it very much.

  This was the first fragrance I bought back in 1990 when I was just 13. My dad used it, and when his bottle ran out, I took a 30ml one for myself, though I’m sure it wasn’t enough to last me much longer at that age. I have the scent etched in my memory: fresh, citrusy, with a soft woody undertone. It was nothing like the other eighties fragrances of the time, and absolutely nothing to do with PR Pour Homme. It feels like a cousin to both Eau Sauvage and the Armani Eau Pour Homme from 1984, which I owned later in the nineties, but I’ve never been able to find this one again.
