Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Live Eau de Parfum

A divisive blend that some adore for its clean, fresh, and happy vibes, while others find it a synthetic headache. It's often associated with nostalgia and carefree summer days, but its execution is a marmite affair - you'll either love or loathe its sweet, fruity, and sometimes soapy character.

Our Verdict - de Lacoste Eau de Toilette

A pleasant, fresh, and uncomplicated fruity floral that's either a delightful springtime treat or utterly forgettable, depending on your desire for projection and longevity. It's a safe bet for those who prefer subtle scents over statement fragrances.

Date

Its fresh and clean opening makes it suitable for casual and sport settings, embodying a 'carefree summer' or 'beach mood' as many suggest. The sweet, tropical, and fruity accords, with good projection for some, lean it away from formal events, though its clean aspect makes it tolerable in some office environments if applied lightly.

Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and light character makes it ideal for office wear and casual settings, as it's unlikely to offend. The lack of strong projection and longevity, however, diminishes its suitability for dates or formal events where a more impactful scent is often desired. It performs well as an 'out of doors' scent, making it suitable for light sport.
