Lacoste Style in Play is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2004, created by Annick Menardo. Style in Play opens with Cedar and Apple, settles into a heart of Pine and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Lacoste's Style in Play carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one is a divisive blast from the past. For some, it's a nostalgic, fresh, apple-laden dream that earns compliments and evokes joy. For others, it's a boozy, synthetic scrubber with weak performance. If you love green apple, this might be your jam, but prepare for hit-or-miss staying power.

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 fresh, fruity, and woody profile makes it highly suitable for casual and sport settings. While some note it's good for the office, its moderate sillage and energetic vibe might be a tad much for very formal environments.

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

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Style in Play kicks off with a crisp, juicy green apple that's undeniably fresh and bright, quickly mingling with a sharp, resinous pine and the dry whisper of cedar. The heart introduces a soft, clean jasmine, preventing the woody notes from becoming too dominant. As it settles, a clean white musk and earthy patchouli provide a subtle, warm base, occasionally joined by the rooty depth of vetiver, balancing the initial fruity zest.
