Our objective metric for performance per dollar.
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.
