The story behind the bottle.
Lacoste Original, launched in 2024 and crafted by perfumers Anne Flipo and Tanguy Guesnet, is a modern take on the aromatic fougère genre. It opens with bright bergamot and pink pepper, creating a fresh yet spicy contrast that sets the stage for deeper notes of lavender and clary sage. The heart of cardamom and amber xtreme adds warmth and depth, while sandalwood, patchouli, and tonka bean round out the base with an earthy, slightly sweet finish.
Apply two sprays to pulse points for a balanced wear. The bright top notes will fade within an hour, making way for the warm spices and woodsy base that linger on skin throughout the day.
