Back in 2003, I would have given this a five star rating easily. However buying the newer upgraded version of this aftershave, I'm completely disappointed. Adidas, why fix something that was never broken? I can understand the original may never have taken off but there had to be people out there like me who were fond of the original model.
After my first bottle of this was finally empty, I decided to look for a new one. However I was not surprised to see it wasn't really on the market anymore, as several years had passed now. I looked on E-Bay and the results came up with the same bottle, looking slightly different from the previous type I had been using for years. With nothing to lose, I thought I would give the newer version a go, despite it
looking slightly different.
Scent and Smell
Like the title appears, the scent will come across as a fairly light and refreshing scent. That of something you would smell on a sporting field or stadium, which they've possibly combined with aftershave ingredients. Quite a sharp scent when smelt at first, although soon becomes very light when sprayed onto human skin and not much is needed to cover the majority of the face.
Refreshing power and that refreshing feel. It has woken me up slightly everytime in the morning and does combine well with clean skin after a wash.
Price
Despite not finding this product anywhere in the shops these days, you'll more than likely find it scattered on E-Bay for around £4 - 5. Plenty of sellers have several of them and there is even the possibility of getting it sent from businesses abroad.
One bottle will last you a VERY long time and possibly even years. My first bottle I received in 2003 and it wasn't until late 2008 that it started to drop down to its last few drops. I was even using it regularly too; it was a favourite of mine at the time until Joop came along.
Power and Effect
At first, the effect will be strong on the skin. Giving off the impression that people around you will pick up on it and pass on compliments. However, after around an hour, the scent will soon start to wear off. The user will then need to spray on more or even use another form of aftershave if they wish to continue smelling great.
The original model would easily last me half the day. I'm clueless at to what they have done to decrease the staying power
Packaging and Advertising
Adidas Sport Field has slightly different looking bottles and boxes from each other, even though its the same product in general. Some in just a bottle and some in different forms of boxes, different colours and patterns. Looking at the pictures I uploaded, they are mostly the same with a few slight differences in appearance. The biggest noticeable change has to to be the colour of liquid, which is either dark green or light green. Despite all the colour changes from the packing and liquid, every scent in every bottle is completely the same.
In terms of appearance for the boxes, nothing special to the human eye. Very standard green box with a few patterns, so it seems Adidas were not relying on the product appearance to sell this aftershave. As the theme of the product is a sports field, Adidas were concentrating on using green like many sports fields are. No tag lines are used either over the box or appearance, so the target audience could just be from teenagers up to active and fit people.
I had never seen this product advertised on television or anywhere on the Internet. Not surprising with this product not being one of their top sellers.
Recommendations
I strongly recommend from staying away from this one, especially if you're looking for someone that will generally last you the entire day. Maybe get this one if you want a good refreshing up after a shower, but don't rely on this product for making you smell great for the entire day. Despite the fairly low price, it really still isn't worth it. The duration of the scent really lets the product down completely.
Such a shame these companies want their products to appeal to everyone and not just a small percentage, even if it does mean chopping and changing certain qualities of their original.
