What does Lacoste Original (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

The opening pairs the spice of pink pepper and cardamom with bright bergamot. The heart is green and aromatic, built on Provençal lavender absolute, French lavender and French clary sage. In the base, tonka bean adds sweetness, while patchouli, sandalwood and Amber Xtreme™ give it a woody footing.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office come up most often. More than half of voters read it as masculine. Rituals L'Essentiel and David Beckham Botanical Resin have a close profile.
