L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme Sport channels brisk movement into scent, opening with a cool spray of grapefruit and bergamot that feels crisp and energizing, then flexing into a lean heart where polished leather and warm nutmeg add zip, before easing into clean vetiver, Virginia cedar, and a briny touch of ambergris for an effortless sporty finish that stays bright, breathable, and well groomed from warm mornings to late evening.

Story and Positioning
Conceived as the energetic, outdoors-leaning chapter of L’Eau d’Issey for men, Sport trades watery transparency for sparkling citrus over a taut leather and spice core, finishing with streamlined woods that feel crisp and modern. If you enjoy the athletic freshness of Chanel Allure Homme Sport or the sunlit clarity of Dior Homme Cologne, this brings a similar easygoing polish while adding a subtle leather accent. The Sport theme later expanded with limited editions such as Sport Mint in 2014 and Polar Expedition in 2015, underscoring its lively, adventure-ready character.
Bottle and Design
The flacon keeps the tall, architectural silhouette but reads lighter and more technical: clear glass tinted light blue, a satin silver gray stopper for a clean grip, and a sharp blue line beneath the collar that signals performance and speed. The base is reassuringly weighty so it plants firmly, while minimal lettering lets the cool blue core catch the light.
