Lacoste Lacoste for men

This is indeed a simple citrus scent of the '80 that smells clean and fresh with a mossy base.
It starts out with lots of lemon which fade after 20 mins and are joined by some flowery stuff before the mainly cedar and moss take over for the drydown. It has some similarities to YSL pour homme (little sour citrus) and even Gillette Cool Wave aftershave for the mossy drydown! This is though weaker than the YSL and has less going on. I see this fragrance more as a very strong aftershave (like Cool Wave) that lasts for a good 3-4 hrs before it fades; it has for me that fresh vibe that a good aftershave gives me. Sillage is average to close to the skin. Best to use during spring and summer for its fresh sensation.
Very good fragrance if you want to smell fresh and masculine for a few hours the '80s way!
Thumbs up! Rated: 7.5/10

The best fragrance of the 80's. None of the other Lacoste come close. Too bad its phased out, I thought that one would remain for decades. It is no doubt at the same class as Bacoraban.

The best thing in it as glitteralex said is that it is true sports fragrance, possibly the best in terms of odor protection. Unlike most scents used in eau de toiletts, it does not stink when one sweats heavily, it actually overpowers the sweat odour and absorbs it. The expansive musky and woody basenotes gives a very stable support to the flowery and citrus middle and top notes in quiet a unique way.. Guys: is it available anywhere?? I haven't seen it in the Middle East, Canada, The US, Spain, England, Turkey, Thailand since the end of the 90's.

Awesome summer scent. it's so bright, green and clean. The only complaint I have is the longevity. It lasts about 3-4 hours on me which is ok if I'm going somewhere for that amount of time but I don't like re-applying. I think that this was very ahead of its time for 1984 because it can hang with the things out today.

Wonderful refreshing fragrance

Hot Classic

I would recommend him

Essentially a lime and fresh grass scent, with touches of basil and oakmoss to darken it up. The opening burst of lime and bergamot are nice, although a little too brief for my liking, and the whole thing quickly opens into bittersweet grass. The drydown arrives after a mere twenty minutes, and peels back the darker greens to reveal sage and cedar. Quite a good green scent, but nothing tremendous here. I'd wear Bowling Green by Geoffrey Beene before this, or even the much cheaper Sport Field by Adidas.

i m love it this fragrance

Esta fragancia es masculina sin dudas. Recuerda los viejos aromas de barberia antigua, con estelas de mentol y lavanda.
La salida es punzante y amarga, con notas concentradas de lima, limon afilado, menta, lavanda y aldehidos, todas muy difusas jungando conjuntamente. Mas tarde la fragancia se vuelve mas terrosa segun recuerdo, aun con las notas alimonadas y de menta, quiza por la accion del vetiver. Poco a poco la fragancia se suaviza horas mas tarde, con notas suaves de madera, pero predominando siempre las notas de menta, mentol y lavanda. Una fragancia de corte deportivo elegante.

It's so warm and sensual! Love it on my man! He had it earlier, but once he got through his bottle, I couldn't wait......I went and got him a replacement pronto! :) it makes me want to get under the sheets with him ;)

When I first wore this, I didn't like it. I felt it was too harsh, sharp and strong. After a few more tries, I found it to remind me of a softer, citrusy variation of the classic Polo cologne. Now it's quite different from what's in my collection, based on Fragrantica's, "if you like this, try this." It's clean, fresh and vibrantly daring, even. Definitely a bold, strong masculine scent that can be offensive if too much is applied. I like this as my spring and summer daytime fragrance; however, it's just a pleasant for any occasion. My name is Mike and I APPROVE this review!

I like this one, but just for those hot summer days in the mediterranean..... :D

one word, a classic top fragrance, send me back to the 80`s, a vintage bestseller in germany.

My dad loves this one, yet I smell like it's too harsh. It's a classic scent, perfect for ages 50s and above.

very strong and harsh fragrance not of my taste. though its oriental spicy fragrance but not in a good way. cheap bottle too! Thumbs down 4 it.
i give it 3 out of 10.

Very fresh and clean almost "fizzy" - lovely fragrance for summer - quite light and unique- a "one note" frag - in my top 20 ever. Lovely one from Lacoste

Very fresh and innocent smelling cologne, ideal for summer wear. I have to emphasise that this does smell very good indeed. However, it doesn't last more than an hour on me!

Once you have tried the awful Lacoste Booster, you can hardly believe "Lacoste by Lacoste" comes from the same brand. Not pretentious nor complicated, this is an elegant and slightly soapy summer scent.

i knew i smelled this somewhere and remember it smelling REALLY good lacoste makes good fragrances and this is a nice high end one

Went to a Lacoste store today. Saw that they had the fragrances also...

I was very intrigued by this bottle. I love retro stuff and this was definetly a retro bottle! Simplistic and art-deco :)

I tried it on me. It smelled nothing special. And then the flowers came out... hmmm I don't know. Feels a bit outdated there... After reading some comments, I never got the impression that this was a sporty fragrance. It didn't feel so fresh...

Afterwards I smelled pine or something... and turned a bit soapy to me. I wasn't surprised to have read the "pine sol" comments on here.

It's pleasant but do I want to smell like pine-sol or car freshener? ... it's not a bad smell... so... perhaps...

Sillage is decent and longevity is ok (4-5hours).

Good fragarance, somewhat fresh and elegant. Besides being from 1984 it still remains very up to date in y opinion.

i dont like this brand - shoes, bags, polos, fragrances and big boom around it - lacoste fragrances are nothing xtraordinary but i really like this bottle :-)

This is a very classic composition. I was surprised, as many of the subsequent Lacoste frags have been fairly formulaic.

The lavender, mint, bergamot and lemon meet a spicy and traditional base. This is a true and original "sport" scent, in the best sense of the word. Timeless.

Very green and fresh smelling. It is a clean fragrance but somewhat a little dated i think compared to what is available now.
