This is one of a line of universal fragrances for every day, created 2 years ago. It is simple, but not simple. The Lacoste company itself characterizes it as an “easy touch of sensuality."
Lacoste Eau de Lacoste: a fragrance description
This creation belongs to the group of flower and fruit. If you break it down by its components, then all the top notes are fruity (pineapple, mandarin, bergamot), in the heart there is a pineapple leaf, orange blossom and jasmine sambac, while the base is represented by vanilla, feather balm, sandalwood and vetiver. The composition may at first seem frivolous, simple. Without even smelling, you can roughly imagine the smell. But on the skin he begins to behave very interestingly, as if shimmering and playing.
The most audible notes in Lacoste Eau de Lacoste are, of course, pineapple and mandarin, as well as vanilla.
Pineapple does not immediately show its face, but at the beginning it disguises itself as a sweet peach. But it is he who starts to solo loudly and confidently. Unlike many fruit aromas, this one does not cause gastronomic sensations; there is no desire to eat this tangerine pineapple. After a few minutes, fruit chords fade into the background, but jasmine and orange blossom begin to play their part. But the base is most admired: flowers are also heard there, but in a duet with sandalwood, slightly powdered with vanilla. Although vanilla itself is not audible, its sweetness is mixed with fruit.
This smell seems to be at the zero mark of the perfume coordinate axis. It is the golden mean between the sweet-fruity and the so-called "fresh fishes". Here in moderation and sweets, and freshness for the sake of lovers of both. In addition to perfume, toilet water Lacoste Eau de Lacoste is also released.
Time and place
how mentioned earlier, this perfume is notable for its enviable versatility. Thanks to the unobtrusive base, which sits close to the skin, it will be relevant always and everywhere - for working everyday life, and for evening promenade hand in hand with your loved one, and for the holiday atmosphere.
If you compare this fragrance with any element of clothing, then a white cotton shirt - getting into the top ten. She must be in the wardrobe, as it goes well with different styles. Unpretentious in itself, it gives a feeling of cleanliness and freshness. The essence of Lacoste Eau de Lacoste is the same in essence. It does not oblige any particular situation or fashionable image, on the contrary, it adapts itself to the situation. In a word, it can be “worn” in the morning and worn all day until the evening.
As for the time of year, then the aroma is also without any complaints. On a cool winter day, it warms with juicy fruit, in wet weather, citrus fruits will sound loud, piercing and cheer up on rainy days. And in the spring, a train of flower veil will be in harmony with the surrounding fragrance in nature.
Age category
In general, he covers a very wide audience - from 15 to 50 years old or even more, except that in combination with the image of an elderly lady generates a dissonance. Especially the citrus origin causes associations with young students who are not yet 20.
Although not even age, perhaps the most important thing here is the character. Lacoste Eau de Lacoste was created for sophisticated, but active and cheerful people.
If we talk only about the appearance of the girl who smells of these perfumes, then they will suit most of all blondes or fair-haired (not for nothing that Amy Adams participates in advertising ). Of course, there is no taboo for brown-haired women or brunettes, they just are less suitable for the type of target audience. Stereotypes suggest that dark-haired girls with dark skin are mostly oriental perfumes.
It is impossible not to mention that the Lacoste brand is mainly focused on sports, and these perfumes will combine well with a young girl and a sports woman who keeps herself in shape.
Durability
Lacoste Eau de Lacoste lasts an amazingly long time on the skin. Some customers noticed that even about 10 hours after application, they hear base notes from themselves. This is surprising, since fruit "fresh" usually do not have such resistance, they must be constantly updated on themselves throughout the day. But here it is sandalwood and vetiver, they sound long and confident.
Plume
It is audible at a distance of 2 meters. But at the same time, the train itself is light, not suffocating, because the base is quite feminine. There is no sugaryness at all. Although the smell is bright, it does not knock others around, on the contrary, it should refresh in hot weather.
Advantages
Those who like this perfume work describe Lacoste Eau de Lacoste as a clear scent that does not bother even with everyday wear. It does not have such components that first hit sharply in the nose, and then disappear in five minutes. It sounds smooth, but at the same time multistage, gradually developing its main theme of interweaving pineapple, jasmine and woody notes.
Although the temperament of these spirits is still there: first you hear lightness and vitamin freshness, then saturated depth, and at the end - vanilla cream. But between these different chords, smooth transitions and harmony of sound are observed.
It is also surprising that many admirers cannot even clearly formulate what specifically attracted them to this fragrance, saying that they like everything in the complex: versatility, and an interesting combination of seemingly simple components, and a long-sounding train.
Shortcomings
But not everyone is delighted with the Lacoste Eau de Lacoste. There are also negative reviews. The flip side of the coin of each such a simple and unpretentious perfume is that there are surely those who call it everyday, ordinary, in a word, nothing. Yes, it has no secrets, riddles, intrigues, everything is simple and clear. Therefore, some branded it as mediocrity.
He reminds someone of the creation of cheaper brands (Avon, Oriflame) or even something from the mass market, they say, all this was already somewhere.
Plus, not every skin interacts well with pineapple, someone gives an unpleasant acidity or even bitterness. Others hear plastic impurities. Yes, skin chemistry is an amazing thing.
Someone claims that the spirits of Eau de Lacoste lack sweets. But for such "sweet tooth" and spice lovers, the company released such a version of the fragrance under discussion as Eau de Lacoste Sensuelle. The components there are completely different, citrus fruits were replaced by nougat and black currants, which immediately transformed the perfume into an oriental gourmet. In a word, Lacoste also tried to please those who like smells more complicated. It seems that it was completely successful. Now many have acquired both aromas and use one for daytime use and the other for evening use.
Note to the men
Based on these characteristics, the perfume Lacoste Eau de Lacoste is a good gift option for a girl or woman whose perfume addiction is unknown. It will be difficult to make a mistake here, since it really suits, if not all, then most of them for sure.
Like a snow-white cotton shirt in the wardrobe, he will surely find a place on the dressing table even of a lover of something radically opposite. And if you take into account the fact that the smell is young (released recently, in 2013), then, among other things, it did not become so familiar that it smells like every second woman.
