You will get four to five hours of total wear on a warm day, which is standard for a fragrance focusing on citrus and marine accords. It excels in high heat and humidity, where heavier scents become oppressive.

EDITORIAL“Toni Cabal 326M - SPORT EXTREME: A Dry, Herbal Take on Freshness”
The opening of 326M - SPORT EXTREME is an immediate shock of cold Italian mandarin. It is not a sugary, artificial orange syrup, but rather the bitter, zesty spray of a peel being torn open in cold air. This sharp citrus holds the stage for the first ten minutes, refreshing the senses instantly. It provides the energetic start you want from something with 'Sport' in the name, clearing the head and cooling the skin.
As the mandarin begins to calm, the heart of the fragrance reveals its marine character. The transition is smooth, introducing a breezy, salty element that mimics ocean air rather than pool water. What keeps this from falling into the generic marine category is the introduction of Spanish thyme. The thyme brings a dry, herbal, almost savory quality that counterbalances the watery elements, preventing the scent from becoming thin or metallic.
On the skin, the fragrance behaves with a dry warmth. The marine notes do not project loudly, but they create a clean, salty skin chemistry that feels personal. The thyme remains the anchor, providing a rustic green texture that lingers. The absence of heavy amber, vanilla, or sweet musk in the base ensures that the dry-down stays crisp, airy, and refreshing, even when your body temperature rises.
In terms of performance, this is not a room-filling beast. It projects moderately at arm's length for about an hour before settling into a soft, herbal skin scent. You will get four to five hours of total wear on a warm day, which is standard for a fragrance focusing on citrus and marine accords. It excels in high heat and humidity, where heavier scents become oppressive.
This is an excellent option for minimalists, athletes, and anyone who wants to smell fresh without smelling heavily perfumed. The unisex appeal is strong, as it avoids both sugary floral notes and heavy cedarwood bases. It is a clean slate of a scent, perfect for throwing on with a white t-shirt before heading out into the sun.
Ultimately, 326M - SPORT EXTREME is a successful exercise in simplicity. By focusing on three high-quality notes, Toni Cabal created a refreshing, dry sport fragrance that bypasses modern synthetic cliches. If you want a sweet, long-lasting clubbing scent, look elsewhere. But if you want an authentic, herbal citrus for the heat, this is a very strong contender.
