Baryshnikov Sport (1996)
by Mikhail Baryshnikov

Still like this one more than all the other 90's "aqua Blue" colored fresh synthetic scents (see: Nautica, PE360, etc). SHares what could be the same old synthetic tangerine note with erolfa, and to that adds Armoise Mugwort, Ginger, fresh aquatic notes, and a cooling eucalyptus. It's held up better than you'd think. Underrated 90's fresh.

This has kind of an unpleasant, 'sticky' scent to it. Hard to describe. There's a sour mid-note that really makes me think, maybe this is sweat and a touch of body odor? Maybe this is what Baryshnikov smells like after an afternoon of hard dancing practice. So I get this impression of a cheap, synthetic bottle of EdT that smells like a stinky man just after exercise (or yard work) with some cheap cologne sprayed on - it's all in there! You don't even need to do the yard work to accomplish the effect.

It's not a catastrophic negative, just barely negative - but it's so uninspired, so utterly boring, that that makes it a neutral - and that crummy mid-note takes it to a clear "stay away" recommendation - don't bother. I'm not sure there IS any base note for this thing. It's gone in minutes. So you're left with a fragrance that makes you think, WTF? Then disappears. Bewildering!
