The Courrèges Homme Sport fragrance by Courrèges

Courrèges decides to bring the men's range back to the fore

Between sea spray and marine accents that inspire clarity and true freedom, mineral freshness, a strength in the making: transparent Grapefruit and ambroxan.
Cardamom and peppermint maintain an addictive tension of style and distinction on a base of vetiver and light cedarwood.

The Courrèges brand is considered a pioneer of women's fashion. It won the hearts of the public thanks to its minimalist and futuristic style. It was also associated with the creation of the miniskirt and thus became an emblem of the 1960s. Today, entrepreneur Frédéric Torloting is working to breathe new life into Courrèges. He has chosen to focus more specifically on men. It is in this context that two new fragrances were born: Courrèges Homme and Courrèges Homme Sport. A focus on the sporty version of this collection.

Courrèges Homme Sport, the new fresh yet sensual fragrance from Courrèges

This is not the first time that the Courrèges house has dedicated part of its activity to men. After founding his brand in 1961, it took Courrèges several years to turn his attention to the men's sector. Nevertheless, this happened in 1973. Courrèges decided to launch a first menswear collection, quickly accompanied by a masculine fragrance. The fragrance FH77 was created in 1977. «I had a precise idea: I wanted an eau de toilette to wear with joy, with an original, strong and very masculine, warm and enveloping scent», explained André Courrèges. «I called it FH 77, F for Formula, H for Homme, and 77 for the year of its birth or twice 7, a lucky number». However, the men's sector did not achieve the hoped-for scale and Courrèges refocused on its feminine creations. It was only from 2014, thanks to entrepreneur Frédéric Torloting, that Courrèges brought the men's wardrobe back into the spotlight. «We wanted to broaden our spectrum while respecting the visual heritage of the brand», he explains. Thus, the French house Courrèges transformed, in 2014, its Millesimes space on rue François Ier, in Paris, into a men's boutique. Today, this boutique has the honour of presenting two new fragrances: Courrèges Homme and Courrèges Homme Sport.

The intense freshness of the Courrèges Homme Sport fragrance

Through this essence, the Courrèges brand has chosen to highlight the elegant sensuality of men while adding an extraordinary freshness. Thus, Courrèges Homme Sport brings an unparalleled dynamism to everyday life. This fragrance opens on a mint note, a particularly invigorating ingredient. Then, violet takes centre stage in its heart. Its leaf gives this fragrance a very green character, while its flower lends it a more powdery elegance. In the base, musk reinforces its animality. Courrèges Homme Sport thus becomes a more seductive juice. Aesthetically, it is characterised by a square-shaped bottle of imposing stature. Entirely transparent, it stands out for its airy and limpid quality. Only its name is inscribed on the right side of the bottle, in a most contemporary shade of grey. The result is a clear, refined and very modern fragrance.
