Perfume Parlour Croc Key Active For Men is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009. Croc Key Active For Men opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Aquatic, Geranium, Nutmeg, and Juniper, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Perfume Parlour's Croc Key Active For Men carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A budget clone of Lacoste Essential Sport. The bright grapefruit-and-ginger opening over an aquatic-woody base captures the original's inoffensive, sporty freshness, though Perfume Parlour renders it a touch flatter and shorter-lived.

About

Croc Key Active follows Lacoste Essential Sport, opening with a bright, grounded blend of grapefruit, bergamot and ginger that's fresh without being a sharp cologne. An aquatic-aromatic heart of geranium, nutmeg, juniper and watery notes adds a clean, peppery lift before a soft base of musk, patchouli and vetiver rounds it off. The original is a marine-citrus-woody designer described as a great inoffensive everyday wear for the office, weekends or out with friends, with mixed but often-good 6-8 hour performance. This clone keeps that bright sporty-fresh signature and the aquatic-woody drydown, but the composition reads a little simpler and the base projects closer to the skin with shorter wear. It's a clean, versatile daytime fresh that captures Essential Sport's easygoing charm for pennies.
