Play Sport

Givenchy Play Sport is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2012. Play Sport opens with Mint, Ginger, Bergamot, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Pepper and Amyris, and dries down to a base of Musk. Givenchy's Play Sport carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

Givenchy Play Sport is a real 'love it or hate it' fragrance with a fiercely divided crowd. Many dismiss it as a generic, fleeting citrus cleaner, while its ardent fans praise its clean, refreshing aura, especially for active wear. If you can get past the lacklustre performance for what you pay, you might just find a hidden gem.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, citrusy profile makes it ideal for casual and sport settings, where longevity and projection are less crucial. The weak performance and subtle sillage prevent it from being suitable for formal events or impactful dates, but it's acceptable for a warm-weather office environment if sprayed lightly.

About

Imagine a brisk morning jog - that's Play Sport. It bursts open with a sharp, invigorating hit of lemon and bergamot, brightened by a cool, clean mint. A zing of ginger gives it an energetic, spicy kick before settling into a soft, musky base. The woody amyris adds a subtle depth, preventing it from being just another fleeting freshie. It aims for a transparent, 'just showered' feel.
