Lacoste · Lacoste Essential

Lacoste Essential is an eau de toilette for men, an aquatic fougère fragrance. Lacoste describes it as the fragrance of freedom and joy, made for free-spirited men. The bottle contains 125 ml and features the Lacoste crocodile engraved on the glass.

What it smells like

The notes emerge one after another as the fragrance dries on the skin:

• Top notes: a bright citrus accord.
• Heart notes: black pepper and rose.
• Base notes: sandalwood and patchouli.

Lacoste presents it as a contrast: the freshness of citrus, spicy black pepper, and the comfort of woody notes. The result is an energetic fragrance.

How to apply it

1. Apply it in the morning to clean, dry skin.
2. Spray it on your neck and chest. On clothes, the fragrance lasts differently and may leave stains.
3. Hold the bottle at arm's length or further away.
4. Let the fragrance dry without rubbing.
5. As it is a fresh eau de toilette, you can reapply it in the afternoon.
