The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2008 by Lacoste Fragrances and crafted by perfumer Laurent Bruyère, Lacoste Essential Collector Edition is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that reimagines the brand's signature clean, confident aesthetic. The scent opens with bright bergamot and tangerine, which cut through the warmth of cassia and rose to create a balanced aromatic profile. As it settles, pepper and patchouli add depth, while sandalwood provides a grounding base. This composition is a proof of Lacoste’s French elegance and its commitment to understated sophistication.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points — this fragrance blooms gradually over time. The top notes are vibrant but brief, so let it settle for a few minutes before heading out. Ideal for daytime wear when you want a scent that's fresh without being overpowering.
