Lacoste 2005 EDT
Essential
Lacoste Essential is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2005, created by Laurent Bruyère. Essential opens with Redcurrant Leaf, Bergamot, Tomato Leaf, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Rose and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Patchouli. Lacoste's Essential carries a Favourite verdict, an aromatic-led wear.
A divisive freshie, this one. Some absolutely adore its unique green character, praising it as a nostalgic, uplifting classic. Others find it utterly forgettable, with some even calling it a 'vegetable' or 'airwick' scent. Expect a clean, fresh-out-of-the-shower vibe, but don't expect it to blow anyone's socks off, or last all day.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Best Occasions
Its fresh, clean, and moderate sillage makes it ideal for casual wear, office (if applied lightly), and sport, as many reviews highlight its 'out of the shower' or 'gym' appeal. The less-than-stellar longevity and intimate projection mean it's not the best for formal events or dates where you want to make a lasting, powerful impression.
