Cannot believe people did not get this: this lasts a looooong time WITH projection. Lots of citrus and dries down to Dior’s Bois d’Argent. Worth it.

What a strange, unique scent. I don’t see mint in the
Notes but I get it In there. The citrus, lavender and mint is what I’m getting. I would say that wearing this in spring /fall would suit it best. It makes me think of being outdoors, up in the mountains or in a.m canyon near a stream early in the morning in the fresh air. It’s energetic and calm at the same time.
Good projection and strong. Worth a try if you like citrusy, herbal type scents

First initial review !
This is stuff although being modern and very much along the lines of being a citrus,summer scent this is also very unique.
The opening to this smells good but to my nose is very harsh ! You get a very natural zingy grapefruit and lavender combo that to my nose kind of clash and make this VERY sharp and tart and smelling it up close it burns my nose. Once it dries down it keeps that sharpness but it does tone down. In a nutshell this smells like a mix between fruity pebbles and toilet bowl cleaner. I’m still torn as if to whether I can say I like this or not. I like the individual notes but when all the notes clash it for some reason is a bit much. I really wish they had a note like vanilla or sandalwood to smooth this composition out.
As of right now it’s a neutral for me but that could change after giving it a few wearings.

Very unique citrus opening to this one. Mint is not listed, but I get citrus mixed with something that smells almost identical to fresh spearmint leaves, just picked and rubbed together in your fingers. Add a soft lavender to this mix, and the result is very soothing, herbal and refreshing! There are a lot of other notes listed that I do not detect, but they could be providing the depth and character not common in typical “sport” flankers. This is a perfectly executed warm weather fragrance for a man who is looking for something mature but not old-school, fresh but not generic, discreet but not fleeting.
Update: after wearing this for several months, it is emerging as one of the best, if not my favorite, summer fragrances I own. I never get tired of this, top to drydown- Absolutely fantastic scent.

Oh man I just put a dab of Ambrox (cetelox diluted 10%) on my hand with a few sprays Caron pour in Homme sport over it- wow that’s heaven Moreno than it already was
prizrack – :
It says on here that it has natural ambergris in the base and it really does smell like it , regardless of it is natural it might as well be as far as I can tell

Nice little gem we have here. I have the original and I really like it even though it has more of a dated vibe to it. However, if you are looking for a more modern take on the original, then this is it.
9/10

Gosh I have really come to love this stuff! I got a sample through Scentbird. Eventually I did decide to buy a full bottle as I found one for a good price.
It starts with a blast of very mixed citruses…Its like a sweet lemon / lime / orange combo…a lot going on.
The citrus lasts about 3 hours. After that it evolves into the original Pour Un Homme de Caron….you can literally tell no difference at that point. It is the lavender and vanilla notes from the original only.
I have been wearing this a lot this summer. I would definitely classify this as spring and summer, although its very versatile.

Longevity,I get around 7 8 hrs out of it on skin
last longer on clothes!

Caron Pour Un Homme Sport opens with a blast of citrus. It’s natural and tart due to the grapefruit. After the citrus settles in the ginger appears and there’s lavender in the background.
The citrus lasts about 4 hours and then you get the tonka base. The base has good lasting power, especially on clothes.
Even though I’m getting bored with tonka bean scents I still like this one quite a bit.
madein – :
This is very fresh perfume, probably the freshest I smelt in a while.
The notes I smell are intense citrus, lavender, and a hint of mint. I cant smell tonka, musk, or ambergris
Very uplifting perfume but my only take on it is the strength, I hoped it will be as strong as yatagan but unfortunately it isn’t. It lasts alot longer on clothes than skin though
Lavr535 – :
I have to disagree with the previous reviewers about this scent smelling “natural” at least as a whole. There’s some very powerful aromachemicals here, and the opening effect is VERY blue-fresh-sport-citrus. That said, despite the loud start there are definitely SOME good naturals in the mix; the fragrance is smooth and well blended. Fortunately the initial “body spray” effect dies away quickly, and you’re left with a ginger-lavender accord with a spicy-sweet backbone, not as vanillic as the original PUH but not dry, either.
While I don’t particularly care for this style of fragrance I’m not disappointed – this is good work in keeping with the quality of the rest of the line, and miles better than the average “sport” fragrance. Buy it with Habit Rouge Sport and you’ll be well served at the gym!

This is similar to the original but also different in some ways. While the original CPUH opens with a sharp blast of lavender, the lavender in Sport has been reduced to a certain degree and paired with a sharp lemon note. It’s a well done lemon, natural and bright, and very similar to the lemon used in Caron’s Eau de Reglisse. So when it opens you get about 60% lemon 40% lavender. What you’ll notice immediately about the lavender, besides the fact that its strength has been dialed down a few notches, is that it is less herbal and astringent and has become smoother and more polished with less bite. I can see the new lavender being more widely appealing to a modern audience, however I really like the way it’s treated in the original. I love how the original CPUH opens with a harsh lavender blast, that’s a little difficult to swallow at first, and then mellows out into a comforting green lavender and vanilla base. The lavender in Sport doesn’t present that kind of challenging beginning and is a little more friendly or boring depending on how you look at it. Shortly after Sport opens, vanilla joins in as well. It enters a little earlier in Sport than it does in the regular version, blending almost immediately with the lavender and taming the composition into a smooth, comforting blend with traces of the lemon from the opening. After about an hour, Sport and the original are quite similar, though it seems the new one has traded much of the lavender in its composition for vanilla. If the old composition dried down to 50% vanilla, 50% lavender, Sport is more like 60 percent vanilla, 30% lavender, 10% lemon. In the end, everything smells very nice, well-balanced and smooth with no glaring missteps or abrasively synthetic qualities. Performance is as good, if not better than the original.
This does not smell like a typical sports fragrance. What it smells like to me is an updated version of Caron Pour Un Homme, designed for a more modern (and perhaps less patient) audience. It’s very good, it’s just different than the original. If you’re a fan of lavender, and the way it shoots out of the gate in CPUH, you may be disappointed by how much tamer it seems in Sport. However, if you found the lavender a little overbearing and “old school” for your tastes, perhaps too herbal and green, you may like how it’s been treated here–softer, smoother, and more blended in with the surrounding accords of vanilla and citrus. What has NOT happened here is the total corruption of the Pour Un Homme line. This is a good fragrance and a worthy flanker, albeit a bit tamer and with less of the original’s quirky personality. But it does maintain the theme of the original. Personally, I like both and whether I choose one or the other would simply be a matter of my mood. Thumbs up for this relatively low key flanker of an all-time classic. Hopefully it will come to the States soon enough where it should eventually be available for a reasonable discount.

A modern version of the classic Pour Un Homme.
A legitimate sport, you feel the mixture of citrus in a beautiful chord, refreshing and delicious.
This diminishes the intense and licorious tone of lavender, which is heavy and classic in the traditional, that even continues to appear but here it is as a coadjuvant, goes from the classic to the modern, rejuvenates the fragrance in an incredible way, join pinches of ambergris and white musk at the base.
What bothers me, perhaps is ginger on my skin, he gets something smell like coriander with the rest of the chords, but no doubt it is a great and unique sport.
Rating: 8.5-9 / 10
крест – :
From the strongest to the weakest note: fresh and energizing start of mandarin, grapefruit and essence of lavender leaves, then the fragrance changes after two hours to evolve into woody notes like cedar and maybe even geranium, and always in the background we find notes of citrus / mandarin and lavender oil, finally after 5 hours, the fragrance discovers his third act with some musk, Ambergris and always in the background the nice lavender.
It is very different from the classic Pour Un Homme, even the iconic lavender is not the same, and vanilla is missing. It is surprising by its three successive stages that evolve in 3 different flavors (lemon cologne, woody and musky).
To give you an idea, it begins like Concentré Orange Verte from Hermes (but Caron is less bitter), at the intermediate stage it teases Azzaro Chrome (but Caron is more subtle and light) and ends like Mugler Cologne (and Caron adds a breath of lavender to this composition).
The quality of the composition is greater than the classic Pour Un Homme in its modern formulation. This is a very pleasant fragrance in each of its steps, easy to wear for the sunny days from spring to autumn. It is not dedicated to a particular man in terms of age or style. Do not rely on the word Sport, it is more complex than that.
I regret that its performance is pretty average. It last long, but its sillage is low, except in the first two hours where citrus shines. The rest of the time, it remains close to the skin. You will need to apply a lot and also on clothes, where it will last longer.
Pleasantly surprised, I wish that this variation deserves a commercial success and maybe we will witness a restart of the house?
Azz – :
Really surprised by this one. It remains a lot of the original but it’s full of joy and freshness. The lavender/vanille combo is sweetened by some kind of caramelised or candied citrus.
The base is not so full of vanilla and musk like the original, instead you have tonka/benzoin that keeps the candied citrus/lavender accord.
I really like this one, it’s a different take on the sport theme. More interesting that the vast majority of masculine fresh releases we are getting lately.
Nice smell and decent performance.

This sport scent is quite different from many others – it gives you the original joyful and pleasant freshness of clean healthy body, which is very natural, instead of synthetic pseudo-athletic cuteness of most sport scents which are often aggressive and maybe good to hide sweat in a gym but aren’t elegant at all. Think of yachts, golf and jogging in the countryside when you imagine this Caron fragrance. It’s relaxed, pleasant and can be worn all day long.
