Dior Homme Sport (2021) Clones

"### To Buy or Not to Buy? If you want Dior Homme Sport on a serious budget, this gets you in the ballpark. Just be aware that it has a slightly synthetic feel and lacks the original's refinement. If you value the small differences and want that signature Dior quality, go for the original. But if you're happy with a close approximation, Parfum D'Hommes Sport is a reasonable, cost-effective choice. Good for casual wear, gym use, or situations where you don't want to burn through your expensive juice. ### The Scent Profile Parfum D'Hommes Sport aims for Dior Homme Sport (2021), and gets reasonably close. The opening is a bright, citrus blast of lemon and bergamot, but it's sharper, a bit more synthetic than the original's natural zest. The aldehydes are amped up too, giving it a fizzy, almost cleaning-product edge that Dior avoids. The heart is where it deviates most. The elemi and pink pepper are present, but the clone leans heavier on the pepper, making it spicier and less nuanced. The base is a standard woody-amber accord, similar to the original, but missing Dior's signature smooth, luxurious feel. I'd say it's 90% similar overall, but those differences are noticeable. ### How Long Does it Last? Projection is moderate for the first hour, creating a decent scent bubble. After that, it settles closer to the skin. Longevity is acceptable . I get around 4-5 hours on my skin, which is not bad. Don't expect all-day performance."

"### Conclusion No. 309 offers a decent approximation of Dior Homme Sport (2021) . It's a good option for casual wear, especially in warmer weather. However, be aware of the slightly synthetic base notes. If you prioritize natural ingredients and a smoother, more refined composition, the original is undoubtedly worth the premium. But if you're on a budget and seeking a similar vibe, No. 309 is a worthwhile alternative. Recommended for those new to fragrance, or those looking for a gym scent. ### Olfactory Experience Louche's No. 309 aims for Dior Homme Sport (2021), and lands reasonably close. The opening hits with a prominent lemon-bergamot accord, accented by aldehydes that create a fizzy, almost metallic lift. This mimics the original's initial burst of citrus, though lacks Dior's smoother, more natural fruit rendering. The heart introduces elemi and pink pepper. The elemi provides a resinous, slightly piney counterpoint to the citrus, while the pink pepper adds a spicy warmth. It diverges here from the original; Dior's heart is smoother and less pronounced, relying more on the overall citrus-woody blend. The base consists of woody notes, olibanum, and amber. Here, the synthetic edges become more apparent. The wood accord is generic and lacks the depth of the cedar found in Dior Homme Sport. The olibanum adds a touch of incense, which works reasonably well. The amber provides a slightly sweet, musky finish. Overall similarity: roughly 87%. ### The Performance Stats Longevity is moderate. Expect around 4-5 hours of noticeable projection, then it fades into a skin scent. Projection is initially strong for the first hour, then tapers off considerably. A respray is likely needed to extend the experience."
