WoodyWhat does Lacoste Red (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both moderate, and most voters pick spring and summer. Leisure, daily and sport use lead, and most people read it as masculine and modern.
It opens with green apple, arborvitae and Maclura fruit, giving a fresh, citrusy, fruity start. Jasmine, Siberian stone pine and cedar leaf in the heart push the green towards wood. Vetiver, patchouli and white musk leave a lightly spicy, slightly sweet woody base.
