Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lacoste Live EDT
A divisive freshie, with prominent lime and a quirky cola-like licorice note. It's affordable and unique, but lacks staying power and might not appeal to everyone's taste.
Statement
Our Verdict - Desire Silver EDP
This is a real marmite scent that divides opinion: some find it a fresh, versatile aquatic with surprising depth for the price, others dismiss it as a synthetic mess. It's affordable, but don't expect a crowd-pleaser for everyone.

Season and Occasion Fit

Lacoste Live

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport

This shines in casual settings or for sports due to its fresh, energising vibe and short longevity. It's too light for formal events and might not captivate on a date, though it's relatively inoffensive for the office despite its uniqueness.

Desire Silver

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean aquatic and citrus profile makes it suitable for casual wear, gym, and office environments, especially given its moderate projection. It's not strong enough for formal occasions and its divisive nature makes it a risky choice for a date.
