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.

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with a fresh, clean scent profile, make it highly versatile for casual wear and post-workout refreshers.

About

Hilfiger Athletics bursts open with a vibrant, tangy hit of grapefruit and bergamot, given an intriguing edge by a touch of star anise. This bright, almost fizzy opening smoothly transitions into a natural, verdant heart of fresh grass and aromatic sage. The drydown settles into a clean, soft embrace of cotton flower, leaving a subtly warm and effortlessly fresh impression that's perfect for warmer days.
