What does Lacoste Original (2015) smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, and few choose winter. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and sport, and also works at the office. Longevity and sillage are moderate, and most votes call it masculine or classic.

It opens with menthol, lemon, orange and lavender, bright and citrusy. Clove and geranium in the heart add a green, spicy edge. The base of vetiver, patchouli and sandalwood dries down woody. Castle Forbes 1445 and Azzaro Azzaro pour Homme L'Eau have a close profile.
