Lacoste Lacoste is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1984. Lacoste opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Lime, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Green Notes, Jasmine, Geranium, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Vetiver. Lacoste's Lacoste carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

It kicks off with a sharp, invigorating hit of bergamot, lemon, and lime, quickly followed by a herbaceous and green heart of clary sage, basil, and galbanum. As it settles, a sophisticated, earthy base of vetiver, cedar, and oakmoss emerges, warmed by musk and amber. It's a clean, sporty scent with a classic fougère backbone.
