Boss Sport (1987)
by Hugo Boss

Okay kids, it's time I took a stab at Boss Sport.

This is a fresh fougère that doesn't really act or feel like a "sport" fragrance, and certainly does not smell at all like toilet cleaner to me.

What it does smell like, on me, is a fresh and quick burst of citrus boosted by amber and a buttery-fig accord. I'm surprised the notes pyramid does not list fig, because that's what I get the most out of Boss Sport. It's not unpleasant by any means, just peculiar. It dries down to a smooth, subtle amber and moss base.

Unfortunately, Boss Sport poops out too soon on my skin - I get 5 hours at the most. Otherwise, I think it's a nice fresh fig fougère (there's a tongue twister for ya!), but I wouldn't fork over that much money to have a bottle of this, even if it is discontinued.

True story...I had dinner with my next door neighbor and I showed him my collection. This led to a discussion of fragrances, and he showed me his 2 bottles...Azzaro PH and Boss Sport after shave in a 4.2 oz bottle although it was half full. He mentioned he hadn't worn it in years...so I asked if he is willing to part with...it is now part of my collection

Gregy87 mentioned toilet cleaner...well, that is not too far off. There is a toilet relationship going on here...much like Yves Saint Laurent classic KOUROS. Except Boss Sport is not in yoru face and much weaker. It opens with a tinge of WD40 (lubricant for metals) or maybe my bottle is old. Then the Kouros shows up and stays until Boss No 1 (which sport is based on) shows up. I really like Boss No 1 and Kouros, so naturally this is a winner. Except for the WD40 note.

Is it worth the astronomical prcies some buyers are asking on eBay...NO!!! If you can find a decant seller or deal, take it. Otherwise...

Traditional 80`s fresh aromatic fougere similar to many other of its kind, but it still manages to smell quite unique. And weird.

I can see the certain resemblance to some sort of cleaning products or even floor waxes, but it actually makes this really interesting. To my nose this smells almost avant-gardish ; it`s synthetic and oddly compelling.
I suppose tarragon is the key player in this fragrance, although that doesn`t tell you much.

A really hard-to-explain fragrance. If possible, find out yourself.

Hate the name, but the emerald green colour of the bottle is very attractive.

Favorite of all time! Still can't find a replacement since it was discontinued.

If you like Patchoulli base note - this ones for you (if you can get it) - it's fresh and really soapy -(love soapy scents) - smelled Dunhill Fresh recently that one comes close - bring it back please!
