Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L'Homme Lacoste EDP
A perfectly pleasant, versatile citrus-woody number. It's not reinventing the wheel and performance might be a bit meh for some, but if you want an easy-reach, inoffensive daily driver, this budget-friendly gem is a solid bet. Just don't go in expecting a beast.

Our Verdict - Mankind Croc EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of L'Homme Lacoste 2017 - a warm spicy fragrance led by Rhubarb, Quince, Mandarin Orange, with citrus depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Season and Occasion Fit

L'Homme Lacoste

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, inoffensive citrus and woody accords, combined with moderate projection and longevity, make it ideal for office and casual wear. While not explicitly a 'sport' fragrance, its clean profile lends well to active wear, but it's generally too understated for formal events or a standout date night scent.

Mankind Croc

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Best in autumn and winter - the warm spicy, citrus profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Keep it for evening and daily - the warm spicy accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
