Lacoste Match Point is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2020, created by Sophie Labbé. Match Point opens with Grapefruit, Pink Pepper, and Basil, settles into a heart of Herbal, Geranium, and Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Vetiver and Cashmeran. Lacoste's Match Point carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a divisive hit-or-miss, depending on whether you're after a classic green freshness or find it a bit too 'old-school aftershave'. Expect mass appeal for some, head-scratching for others.

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.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, herbal-green profile and moderate performance make it ideal for casual wear, office environments, and especially sport. Some reviews highlight it as an excellent gym or golf course scent, though its lack of strong sillage limits its impact on dates or formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with an invigorating burst of zesty grapefruit and a lively kick of pink pepper, swiftly joined by aromatic basil. The heart unfolds into a clean, herbal blend of clary sage and geranium, grounding into a woody dry down of vetiver and cashmeran for a soft, musky finish. Think freshly cut grass and a subtle, clean warmth.
