Adidas Pure Game is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2010. Pure Game opens with Grapefruit, Mandarin, Pepper, and Basil, settles into a heart of Guaiac Wood, Cypress, and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Tonka Bean, and Incense. Adidas's Pure Game carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Don't let the price fool you - this fresh, sporty scent is a surprising crowd-pleaser, providing a clean smell that punches well above its weight. Just keep a travel sprayer handy, as its brevity is its only real downfall.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Office Date

Its fresh and clean profile makes it perfect for sport and casual wear, especially given its short longevity which suits these quick activities. It's often recommended for the office due to its non-offensive projection, but it's not quite robust enough for formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Pure Game kicks off with a lively burst of grapefruit and mandarin, spiced up with a hint of pepper and basil's green freshness. It quickly settles into a woody heart of cypress and guaiac wood, softened by lavender. The dry-down reveals a smooth base of sandalwood, patchouli, and tonka bean, leaving a subtle, warm, and inviting trail, with a whisper of incense adding a touch of understated depth.
