Dior Homme Sport 2012 is a refined, elegant citrus-forward fragrance that stands out from typical sport perfumes. It opens with a bright, juicy burst of citron and ginger, balanced by a subtle, powdery iris that adds sophistication without overpowering. Over time, the citrus softens, revealing a smooth, warm woody base of cedar and green notes, creating a fragrance that feels polished and mature. While its projection is moderate—lasting up to an hour with noticeable sillage—it lingers on the skin as a delicate, close-to-the-skin scent for several more hours. The fragrance is excellent for formal or casual daytime wear, particularly in spring and summer, and appeals to those who appreciate understated elegance over aggressive performance. It’s widely praised for its refinement, harmonious blend, and long-lasting freshness, though some note it lacks the boldness and longevity of the original 2008 version.
