This fragrance is truly rare, unlike Essential, but it's simply incredibly juicy. That's its main advantage - the citrus notes immediately hit your nose and linger even long after application. I've compared it to other Lacoste perfumes, and it's a shame it's hard to find now, and if you do, the price might be inflated (as always, many fakes). I have Essential in my collection too (the first 2007 version), but I like Sport more. I never thought of Lacoste as something powerful and with a strong sillage, so for me, the unobtrusiveness and brightness of their fragrances are important, and Sport perfectly embodies that. If you compare it to the new Essential version, it also became juicier, but that's another story. In short, if you find an original at a reasonable price, get it - it's perfect for summer, for everyday walks or work, where the strength of the fragrance isn't as important as its brightness and moderate longevity. It lasts about 4-6 hours on the skin, with almost no sillage. A real find for summer!

Let's disconnect from all these comments and "expert" evaluations in perfumery, let's just see what kind of fragrance turned out. It's spicy, juicy, and refreshing, but not overdone. I don't understand where the opinion that it's cheap comes from. Yes, ambroxan isn't for everyone, but there are those who adore it. I didn't think this fragrance would suit both 20-year-olds and 50-year-olds, but it really creates a good mood for the day. If you don't smell your favorite note, don't immediately throw a tantrum or say that it became bad because of advertising. This fragrance is perfect for young and ambitious people. The simple version, not the eau de parfum, turned out too citrusy, and I'm not interested in that, there are tons of such fragrances on the market. Bergamot is here, but it doesn't hit you in the nose. The advertisement with the "pirate" is more suited to Fahrenheit, which is more "rough" Don't fall for that. I also had favorite fragrances that got hated on, like Fahrenheit 32, which came out in 2008. It was cold and vanilla, nothing like the usual Fahrenheit, but many people around me liked it. The sillage is small if you spray twice, but if you overdo it, you can fill the whole room )

There is an old version from 2008, it is noticeably different. The smell is more 'expensive', citrus not so bright, flowers dominate. I like the old one more. The new one is also not bad, great scent for any season. Longevity 6-7 hours, sillage modest. Classic from D&G, suitable for those who didn't appreciate the new The K.

Comparing it to the 2010 version, I don't feel that lightness. Maybe I've just lost my sense of smell and now only 'Sasha' cologne is left for me, or perhaps it's just nostalgia. If you haven't drunk apple juice for two years and then try it again, the sensations will be completely different. This applies to all fragrances that have been on the market for decades. Yes, formulas sometimes change, and I agree that manufacturers aren't always right, but why is everyone so sure that only they are to blame? Nostalgia and memories also play their part. I read comments about how 'it used to be better' and wonder why good fragrances get such low ratings. This is one of the classic men's fragrances, not for boys, but specifically for men. First, rosemary and geranium are felt, and then it develops wonderfully on a suit. It's an evening or business scent, but wearing it with a tracksuit isn't the best choice. If you want something fresher, it's better to look at 'Allure Homme Sport'. But 'Platinum Egoiste' should be in your arsenal if you often attend business meetings. 'Bleu de Chanel' and this fragrance are both excellent options, but each fragrance is an acquired taste. Try it, maybe you'll leave with it. Its longevity and sillage are powerful, and there's nothing more to add. For a couple of days and several meters around you will be filled with its scent, especially in the first hours

How great that I finally decided to buy this fragrance after 25 years! It really stands out from all those sweet and sour scents that are so popular now. No oily or floral spice like many classic fragrances from the 60s-80s. This perfume is simply chic! Masculine, green, and with amazing longevity, its sillage is powerful, just mesmerizing. I used to be against Hugo Boss, thought it was something cheap, but now I have two bottles from this brand, and I'm absolutely thrilled! If you're looking for a great men's perfume, definitely try it. It's 100% masculine, not even a hint of unisex. Simply super! ))

There are other scents in this cologne line, but Step 7 stands out because it's more suitable for everyday use. It doesn't surprise you, doesn't shock with sharp sweetness, but rather offers something simple and refreshing. For its price, it's a real find. It doesn't feel like a cheap knock-off, although there's one note at the beginning that slightly resembles a sweetish cheap scent

What a pity that this Dior fragrance, Fahrenheit 32, remained in the shadows. It's truly unique, as the vanilla in it doesn't smell like a sweet dessert, but very expensive and soft. In winter, it unfolds especially well, creating an atmosphere of coziness. But alas, it's no longer produced. I tried the original, and it was top-notch, while the fake, unfortunately, doesn't measure up. It's strange, but sometimes they smell almost identical, though the original is a real gem. Its longevity is a day or two, and the sillage can fill a room if you overdo it. On a frosty day, it unfolds simply amazingly. If you like unusual fresh fragrances and love vanilla, be sure to try the original if you can find it. For me and many who remember its release, it's already a classic, and Dior seems to have forgotten about it. In the era of sweet fragrances, it would have fit in perfectly. P.S. Yes, it's not Fahrenheit, but it has an idea that could reflect a new generation. Fahrenheit 32, unfortunately, didn't become a hit, and I still don't understand why. Perhaps it came out too early, and many would like it now 😔
