Liz Claiborne Claiborne Sport is a Cologne launched in 1997, created by Jean Claude Delville. Claiborne Sport opens with Lavender and Tomato Leaf, settles into a heart of Cyclamen, Woody Notes, Cardamom, and Ginger, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Cedar. Liz Claiborne's Claiborne Sport carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Claiborne Sport is a divisive yet well-loved 90s throwback. Some find its fresh, green aroma comforting and nostalgic, a true compliment-getter; others dismiss it as an outdated, sometimes unpleasant cheapie. You'll either love it for its clean, sporty vibe or find it a bit too old-school.

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.

About

Claiborne Sport opens with an intriguing botanical kick of tomato leaf, softened by classic lavender. The heart unfolds with a fresh, spicy blend of ginger, cardamom, and sage, grounded by subtle woody notes and the delicate bloom of cyclamen. It settles into a warm, clean base of musk, amber, and cedar, leaving a fresh, slightly green, and undeniably masculine trail.
