What does Lacoste Original (1984) / Lacoste (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
It opens with bergamot, lemon and lime for a citrus freshness, while lavender and clary sage pull it in an aromatic direction. The heart is led by geranium, basil, galbanum and green notes, with carnation and jasmine adding a soft floral touch. In the base, vetiver, cedar, oakmoss and amber set down a dry, woody floor.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and sport come up most often. Most see it as masculine and classic. Halston Halston 1-12 and Chanel Platinum Égoïste have a close profile.
