Lacoste Elegance was introduced in 2007. It is an oriental-fougere fragrance for men. It opens with notes of peppermint, thyme, and juniper and continues with spicy accords of nutmeg, cardamom, black pepper and raspberry in the heart. Base notes bring wafts of chocolate, sandalwood, amber and musk.
The bottle was designed by Denis Boudard, while the outer box by Lutz Hermann Design. It is available as 50ml (1.7 fl.oz.) and 90ml (3.14 fl.oz.) EDT, 50ml (1.7 fl.oz.) and 90ml (3.14 fl.oz.) after shave balm, 150ml (5.24 fl.oz.) bath gel, deo stick and 150ml (5.24 fl.oz.) deo spray.
Very very sweet! Not for me
Very bad projection and sillage, and not a good longevity too!
But scent is not bad.
Overall: 4/10
Some perfumes dont deserve to be described as perfume, this one is one of them.
not my way ..
This is what I'm seeking in a recent "designer" fragrance. I know I'm not going to get the complexity, richness, and natural smell of the ones from the 1980s, for example, but who cares (I have enough of those!)? I don't know if I think of Elegance as elegant, but rather almost "experimental." The reason is that it combines the new raspberry/wood molecule with mint, juniper, thyme, chocolate, and a kind of woody grassiness. Who would have thought such a combination would work? And the thing is that all the notes stay for hours, rather than there being much in the way of development. In this way, a new kind of complexity is created. For me, one full spray to the chest lasts all day, with just the right projection/"sillage," so perhaps the complaints are due to skin chemistry with this one. Note that the much more expensive Tuscan Leather uses the same raspberry/wood molecule, apparently, but I prefer this fragrance (and I enjoy The Knize Ten). Another odd but compelling recent designer fragrance is Magnetism for Men by Escada, so if you like Elegance on principle you should try that one too.
I think I understand why some might say this is not really a "personal fragrance," but it does settle in nicely for me, and there is note separation and dynamism. The "synthetic" quality is interesting, unlike some fragrances that have a syrupy "chemical soup" quality to me (like a couple of Adidas ones I've tried). I tend not to wear this one if I am going to do a lot of sitting during the day. It's better if you walk around when wearing this one, so that the "synthetic" quality never becomes bothersome. It's an "oddball" that's worth a try if you enjoy variety, but it's not a typical fragrance for any specific social occasion. Also, if you don't care about note separation or have not developed your ability to detect several notes in a fragrance, this might not work as well for you as it does for me.
it's but 1 hour later, none can feel it, none even you!
Who cares it's a nice perfume so if you want to buy it go ahead!
It doesn't last for long on my skin. Unfortunatelly!
I would call it "nicely done", I just love that hint of mint warmed with so sensual note of raspbery. A touch of woodsy notes mixed with a chocolate impression makes it just delicious. It's not too official, feel playful and youthful, not immature though. For free spirits.
For special occasions I will look for something more refined, but still, it has that elegance. For a spring/fall time it's very good choice, day-time or evenings.
Fresh fruity opening, with a touch of suede/leather that evolved on my skin pretty fast (10-15 minutes) into a sweet soft spicy gourmand middle-base, with nutmeg, caraway, chocolate and amber as most evident notes.
Low sillage and longevity (I've got no more than 3-4 hours with 5 good sprays).
A safe oriental-fougere, nothing remarkable or different enough for me to deserve a purchase.
It reminded me at some stages, of a less peppery version of Hugo Boss Baldessarini. My rank 7/10.
Strangely good scent. I can smell the plastic (or chocolate or leather?) at first then freshen up with something orangey. The spices are stronger than chocolate note; giving the scent some warmth but not spicy. The scent isn't exactly elegant, but more like cozy and comforting scent. Great for this time of the year; fall-winter. Sadly, the plasticky smell bothers me a bit, so I won't be investing on a bottle any time soon.
opening with touch of leather, spicy, 10 minute later change to oriental woody, with some sweet.
chocolate and caraway are easy to smell in dry-down .
longevity and sillage are ok
nice fragrance worth the try, but for me not very special .
attractive bottle.
A very sexy laid back unisex smell. Perfect for leisurely autumn evenings.
This is a nice fragrance. As the name suggests, it does conjure images of a certain kind of elegance however, it needs to be stronger, it's way too weak.

Hi.
In my opinion this is one different from most other colognes lacoste! impresive opening.i found the chocolate note is very irresistible for the ladies.
Good sillage but longevity is average on my skin.so is great for fall/winter and dandy style.
7/10
the message the man in the advertisement for this perfume want to say to people around him (hey, i put a perfume can any one smell it can any women attracted to me) but all people around him thout that this guy is idiot.
this is a meaningless perfume , may be a a bad after shave. I am sorry for money i paid for it.
I agree with rebella as the refreshing and almost cold start, it is nice. The scent captivated me at first but then a particular and lasting smell with a flowery tone (to my nose) ruined the experience :-(. I don't get a chocolate note, and even less a "dark" one. The scent itself is a bit fruity and flowery, for sure doesn't smell bad, is a little different from many others I've tried but then, not a choice for my own use.
This is a special perfume, it is a mix between sweet and spicy and got a great feel to it. Last 5+ hours on my skin. Really worth sniffing this one.
nice and mellow, but the sillage lacks in this one. a good frag tho
This one really has Grown on me. At first i wasnt a big fan of it. But once i started collecting a few more colognes i grew a love for it. Its Very spicey But smells great on me.I only have asmall tiny bit left so i kinda left it untouched for awhile but im REALLY missing it so i might take a wiff of it pretty soon
Scent of a very great
Not bad.Smells quite nice.but dosnt last long.I Usually wear it before i go in to work
the ad and name is ridiculous..but the important matter is really great, lovely floral-fruity touch, versatile and sexy.
A new purfume that i got in present, it is nice and warm purfumes but not lasting for long time.
It unique but I didn't like the smell, I got it as a present.
But it not bad and the you could wear it for daily use.
It smells very unique, spicy and hot! Too much caraway, but this is amazing on this scent.
Hmm, Smells very unique and different ... But not my personal kind of choice when it comes to colognes.
This is a modern fragrance. The top is very refreshing, a bit icy and almost cold and when my husband wears it, I always feel a curiosity about what that comes next. It´s a sursprising perfume... because in the end the cold, crispy notes are taken over by hot, varm and creamy chocolate. Lovely!
