What does Lacoste Original Parfum smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and autumn, with summer close behind. It leans towards leisure, business and daily wear, a relaxed, easygoing scent made for men.
The opening is dominated by citrus and spice: bergamot adds freshness while ginger and cardamom bring a light sharpness. In the heart, lavender brings a green, floral touch and incense resin gives it a resinous depth. In the base, amber, patchouli and tonka bean sweeten it and dry down to a warm, earthy, woody finish.
