Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1998, Hilfiger Athletics by Tommy Hilfiger is a aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of fresh energy and athleticism. The composition opens with bright citrus notes from grapefruit and bergamot, which are quickly complemented by the green freshness of grass and sage. These vibrant top and middle notes give way to a powdery base anchored by cotton flower, creating a scent that is both clean and subtly spicy thanks to star anise.
This fragrance is best applied with two sprays — it opens up quickly but maintains its freshness throughout the day. The grapefruit and bergamot notes are particularly bright initially but soften into a more powdery, aromatic base over time.
