What do reviewers say about Challenge and L'Homme Sport?
It's the fragrance people reach for when they want to smell like they tried, without smelling like they tried too hard. The citrus-ginger opening has an athleticism that never quite fades.Challenge
YSL went sporty and somehow kept the polish. It's citrus and cedar with actual depth. Moderate sillage, solid longevity. The fragrance offers freshness without sacrificing substance.L'Homme Sport
