Lacoste Original

Citrus notes blend beautifully with just a touch—literally the slightest hint—of spices, creating a crisp, classic opening. The base is dry, woody, and warm. Yet it is the herbs, particularly clary sage and lavender, that give the composition its charm. Although this is a classically masculine fougère, wearing it gave me a sense of relaxation and ease, along with a pleasant feeling of freshness for both body and mind. The sillage is initially strong before becoming moderate, while longevity is very good. The handsome, minimalist bottle complements the overall experience beautifully.
