Composition

Dior Homme Sport

Dior Homme Sport was born in 2008, a freshness of citrus and ginger signed by François Demachy, without the iris of the parent eau de toilette. The house has recomposed it several times; the current version, which it compares to a boxer’s uppercut, pairs Calabrian bergamot and lemon, elemi and pink berries, frankincense and woods, in the line’s glass monolith.

The house gives Dior Homme Sport a top of Reggio di Calabria bergamot, a heart of elemi and pink berries, a base of frankincense and woody notes. It files the fragrance among the woody orientals: the liveliness of citrus meets the amber caress of woods and spices.

Citrus and elemi

Reggio bergamot and lemon open the composition on juicy, zesty notes. Elemi, a resin with a lemony scent, extends these citrus notes and heightens their brightness.

Frankincense, woods and amber

Pink berries, sparkling and peppery, accompany the warm, amber notes. Frankincense, appearing for the first time in Dior Homme Sport, melts into the woods and amber that Dior considers the signatures of its masculine line.

The 2008 version

Demachy’s first formula, deliberately simple in structure, played on ginger, lifted with citron for its zesty facet and softened with cedar, with an aromatic touch of rosemary and lavender. That ginger is no longer among the notes of the current version.

What the label declares

After alcohol, fragrance and water, the label declares the allergens limonene, linalool, hexyl cinnamal, citral, citronellol, eugenol, cinnamal and geraniol, a treemoss extract, a UV filter, stabilizers and three colorants.
