Which Should You Buy?

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.

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.

Eau de Prep

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Autumn

The fragrance's fresh and spicy notes are suitable for warmer temperatures and spring and summer wear. However, its moderate spices allow for some versatility into fall too.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate projection and fresh spicy accords make it versatile for casual and office settings, while also being appealing for date occasions. Less ideal for sports due to lack of high-energy freshness.
