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 - Residing For Men EDP
Residing follows Lacoste's Live, that casual fresh woody-aquatic. Perfume Parlour nails the zesty lime and green-watery freshness, keeping the easy, uncomplicated vibe; like the original it stays light and fades on the modest side, but the budget price makes it an easy daily grab.

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.

Residing For Men

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The zesty lime and green-watery freshness is built for warm weather, peaking in spring and summer and feeling thin in cold.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Light and casual, it is ideal for the gym, the office and everyday wear, with less presence for formal occasions.
