Play Sport Givenchy for men

DISGUSTING. I am smelling it, right now. I just went out, and picked up a sample vial. It smells like straight up PEPPER. AWFUL. It is not classy, or elegant at all. Besides, it fades almost INSTANTLY. It's funny, i could pay 15 bucks, for an Avon fragrance, that smells great, and last for well over 24 hours, or this one. A cheap smelling, irratatting, disgusting, peppery, fragrance, that fades instantly for 100 bucks. Nice job Givenchy!...... NOT. Please, skip this one. Save your money for something worth wearing.

Smells like a latex balloon...

Probably not as vile as other more popular fragrances who play the same (trite) citrus-aromatic theme but nowhere close being vaguely interesting. Aseptic, cold, generic. Would probably suck as well if released as a cheap shampoo. Frosted bottle included.

Rating: 4/10

Very elegant and refreshing cologne,feels that you are sitting on the beach and inhaling a deep breathe of fresh air and then you smell green naunces of a beautiful garden.Very unique and modern scent and not a generic citrusy smell despite its citrus components,the. Wave of extreme freshness settles down in avery clean and sensual musky base,stunning.

As a huge fan of Play and Play Intense I was curious about this flanker.

That note that is present in regular Play is here in this one...has to be the Amyris wood, which I love. In this version, the Amyris is buried beneath a very fruity citric blast much more pronounced than regular Play.

I think Regular play is still my favorite...Intense is the caramel vanillic version...and Sport is the extra citrusy version.

Play Sport is pretty good but a distant 3rd in the Play line for me.

Reminded me a lot of the white summer limited edition.
Light calm oceanique orangy musky green .
I hate this word but i'll use it here , i dont know why but the whole play line is boring , when i mean this , i mean that when i tested it i sniff it ounce and dont want to smell it again !
Young and happy but there is much better choices for summer or sport.
Longevity and projection are about 2 hours.

Play Sport started off boring, but then grew surprisingly pleasent with the mint accord playing off with the other notes.

I was thinking if the longivity of this was good, I'd actually consider getting me a bottle of this, but alas, like many other summer and sport fragrances out in the market the longivity was short lived. The best part lasted like 2-3 hours, then another 3-4 hours of epic boringness that can be only detected when your nose is on the skin..

Shame on you Givenchy! You used to be innovative, original and unique, intruiging and mysterious - and now what do we get? A copy of much cheaper and synthetic CK Crave, both scent and bottle wise. Plain kids stuff, generic and boring, I guess if some kid wants to get a cologne for the first time he wont be wrong getting this.

Color me surprised!

Givenchy Play Sport is not as bad as I thought it would be. While the whole "sport" concept is getting to be ridiculous, this is actually a decent fragrance that I prefer to the original Play (although I still like Play Intense).

To my nose, Play Sport is a minty citrus concoction, with some grassy notes and fruity notes as well. It's fresh and pleasant, but also unique. I would actually think of it as a spiritual successor of sorts to Sport de Paco Rabanne (1986), one of the first true "sport" fragrances - that one was a fresh, grassy/fruity fougere, and some of the "feel" of Sport de Paco lives on in Play Sport, at least to me. The longevity isn't superb; maybe five hours at the most, but this is one I wouldn't mind reapplying. I might just have to get a bottle of this one.

I also think I'm a sucker for frosted bottles with a matte finish - Play Sport, Kouros Fraicheur, Guerlain Homme L'Eau... I find these things to be hopelessly attractive.

I actually tested this out while I was walking around in a department store. This was sprayed on my right arm while D&G The One Sport was on the left arm.

In my opinion, Givenchy Play Sport begins with a generic "sporty" clean smell, which could be boring for most of us, but what gets my attention is the smell of this cool mint with a sprinkle of sugar and a very very subtle floral accord, which I still have no clue what flower that is. I also get a really faint and dry vetiver too.

Between these two, I think Givenchy gears toward a younger crowd as it lacks a prominent woody quality. Not sure if I would purchase any of them however, but if the price is right. i would go with this Play Sport.

Very nice and fresh but reminds me CK Crave which is also very nice and fresh but 70% cheaper.

In general very good summer fragrance which most will love at first smell.
