Lacoste Touch of Sun is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2006, created by Aurélien Guichard. Touch of Sun opens with Bergamot and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Lacoste's Touch of Sun carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Divisive yet delightful, Touch of Sun is a quintessential summer scent for some, a rotten citrus disaster for others. Definitely try before you buy this one.

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 moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its light, fresh character, make it highly suitable for casual wear and warmer weather. While some find it office-appropriate due to its softness, its summery brightness might be less fitting for 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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

Like a splash of sunshine in a bottle, Touch of Sun opens with a zesty burst of bergamot and grapefruit, bright and invigorating. This cheerful start softens into a delicate floral heart where rose, jasmine, and peony intertwine, offering a sweet, almost fruity touch. The journey concludes with a clean, airy base of musk, creamy sandalwood, and earthy vetiver, leaving a soft, feminine trail perfect for warm days.
