Fragrance guide
A gym fragrance has to do one thing: smell clean. Heat and sweat amplify everything, so anything sweet or heavy becomes unpleasant quickly, for you and for the person on the next machine.
These are the fragrances in our catalog suited to sport: light, fresh and easy, for before or after training.
How we picked. We took the fragrances in our catalog tagged for sport and ranked them by how well they suit warm conditions, favoring those with softer projection. Prices are typical US retail prices and may differ at checkout.
