Every fragrance review promises honesty; few bring receipts.

The Scent: Notes, Structure & Dry-Down

CH Men Sport opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit and Sage — the first impression as it hits the skin. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Sea Notes, Juniper and Sichuan Pepper. The final act — the part that outlasts the working day — is Vetiver, Sandalwood and Oakmoss.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Citrus, Aromatic, Fresh Spicy, Marine, Woody — easy to place and easy to wear.
