Issey Miyake Sports Men is a woody citrus aromatic fragrance for men. It launched in 2012 and is still in the line today. This is the 100ml bottle.
How It Smells
The opening is bergamot alongside grapefruit, which is the brightest part of the wear and fades within the first half hour. Underneath, nutmeg carries the middle, and this is what most people will actually smell on you. What remains at the end of the day is vetiver over cedar and ambergris, closer to the skin and warmer than the opening suggested.

Why You'll Love It
- Safe to wear in a shared office. Its moderate sillage reaches the person next to you rather than the whole room.
- Comfortable in Philippine heat. The Eau de Toilette strength keeps it light instead of turning heavy through the day.
- The vetiver base gives it a grown-up finish once the opening settles.
- Presents well as a gift. Issey Miyake is a name the recipient will already know.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Issey Miyake Sports Men original?
Yes. Perfume Philippines has sold 100% original, imported fragrances online since 2012. Every bottle is fresh stock, and cash on delivery is available nationwide.
How long does Issey Miyake Sports Men last?
Moderate, around 5 to 7 hours. Spraying onto moisturised skin, and onto your shirt collar as well as your wrists, helps it hold longer in humid weather.
Is Sports Men good for the office?
Yes. Sillage sits at moderate, an arm's length, so it stays within conversational distance instead of filling a shared room. One to three sprays is plenty in an air-conditioned space.
How does Sports Men compare to Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme?
Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme is the closest comparison, the aquatic original. Sports Men is built on a vetiver base with bergamot up top, so judge them on that: if you want the vetiver direction, this is the one. Both are stocked here when available, so you can compare prices directly.
