Lacoste Lacoste is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2003, created by Olivier Cresp. Lacoste opens with Freesia, Pepper, and Apple, settles into a heart of Hibiscus, Rose, Jasmine, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Suede, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Labdanum. Lacoste's Lacoste carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This early 00s classic, now sadly discontinued in its original form, is a comforting, clean, and effortlessly elegant everyday scent. Despite its often-cited lack of longevity, its unique powdery floral and spicy suede profile continues to win hearts.

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.

Its clean, inoffensive, and subtle character makes it perfect for the office or casual wear. While appreciated for dates, its skin-scent nature means it won't project across a formal event. Many reviews highlight its 'sporty' and 'gym-scent' qualities, making it suitable for active wear.

About

Imagine crisp apple and a spicy kick of pepper opening a bouquet of delicate freesia, violet, rose, and hibiscus. This transitions to a soft, powdery heart, uplifted by heliotrope's sweetness. The base grounds it with a luxurious, creamy suede, warmed by sandalwood and cedar, and a whisper of contemplative incense. It's clean, comforting, and uniquely alluring.
