Key Notes of Eau de Lacoste
What Does Eau de Lacoste Smell Like
Eau de Lacoste by Lacoste introduces itself with a vivacious splash of zesty Calabrian mandarin orange, which is gracefully embraced by a more refined and delicate Calabrian bergamot. The initial citrus tang gradually evolves into a heart imbued with a captivating triad of florals. The heady, exotic aroma of jasmine sambac takes center stage, closely followed by the sweet, white-flower scent of orange blossom and a subtle hint of rosy aromatic freshness. An unexpected twist is added by the presence of a pineapple blossom note, imparting a fruity, tropical touch to the floral blend.
As this perfume continues its olfactory journey, it transitions into a creamy and mellow base. The warm, woody scent of sandalwood creates a grounding foundation, accompanied by a soft, resinous whiff of Peru balsam. These are expertly tempered by an undercurrent of vanilla, which infuses the perfume with a comforting sweetness, while a dash of vetiver introduces a slight earthiness to the mix. Overall, Eau de Lacoste by Lacoste presents a lively concoction of fruity, floral, and fresh scents veiled in a comforting sweetness, a fragrance designed for the woman who loves light, breezy, and subtly sweet aromas.
Review of Eau de Lacoste
Eau de Lacoste, released by Lacoste in 2013, is a fruity-floral fragrance designed for women. With a higher appeal towards mature women, it represents a scent suitable for daily wear, leisure, or business. Despite having an equal mix of fruit and floral elements, the scent doesn't overwhelm. It's a comfortable scent, akin to a light breeze on a sunny spring morning.
The perfume opens up with a refreshing citrusy aura, courtesy of Calabrian bergamot and mandarin oranges. As the fragrance evolves, floral notes of jasmine sambac and orange blossom start to make their presence felt, lending a touch of elegance and femininity. Additionally, hints of pineapple blossom add a unique twist to the traditional floral heart.
As the day progresses, the scent settles into a warm and inviting blend of sandalwood, Peru balsam, and vanilla. This base is subtly earthy due to the inclusion of vetiver, adding a slight weight to the otherwise airy composition.
However, one of the main criticisms of Eau de Lacoste is its longevity and sillage, which are relatively modest. It tends to stay close to the skin, making it a perfect choice for those who prefer a more personal scent. But for those who are fond of bold perfumes or need their scent to last all day, they might find it lacking.
In terms of value, it's a decent pick for those looking for a pleasant, wearable, and versatile perfume without breaking the bank. Its fruity-floral composition is a safe bet for those who appreciate traditional perfumery but with a modern, casual twist.
