The Story

Launched in 2012 and crafted by perfumers Emilie Copperman and Lucas Sieuzac, Play Sport by Givenchy is a vibrant Citrus Aromatic fragrance that embodies the energy of an active lifestyle. The composition opens with bright citrus notes from lemon and bergamot, infusing the scent with a refreshing zest. These are complemented by the spicy kick of ginger flower and pepper, adding a dynamic layer of warmth. Mint and amyris provide a crisp green freshness, while musk rounds out the base for lasting comfort.

Application Tips

Play Sport is best applied before an active day. The citrus top notes are bright but fade quickly, so aim for two sprays to capture that initial burst of energy. As the spicy and musky base notes emerge over time, they provide a lasting comfort throughout the day.
