Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lavender Palm EDP

A truly divisive Tom Ford, Lavender Palm is either a fresh, sophisticated take on lavender, or a medicinal, quickly fading disappointment. Its high price point only magnifies the love-it-or-hate-it reactions, especially for a discontinued scent that now fetches a premium.

Our Verdict - Lacoste EDT

This 80s powerhouse is a divisive beast, a classic for some and a dated scrubber for others. If you appreciate a confident, green aromatic with a touch of soapy freshness, you might just find your new signature - provided you can get your hands on an original vintage bottle.

Season and Occasion Fit

Lavender Palm

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Casual Sport

Also Works:

Office

Its fresh and clean profile makes it suitable for casual and even office wear, but generally subtle longevity keeps it from being too attention-grabbing. The more relaxed, summer vibe, sometimes compared to sunscreen, reduces its suitability for formal events or evening dates.

Lacoste

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Casual Sport

Also Works:

Office Date

Its fresh, energetic, and clean profile makes it ideal for casual wear, especially sports, as many reviewers attest. While some find it suitable for the office or formal events, its 'powerhouse' nature means it might be too strong for more conservative settings.
