The story behind the bottle.
Lacoste Pour Femme Intense, launched in 2018 and crafted by Olivier Cresp, is a floral woody musk fragrance that encapsulates the essence of a cosmopolitan woman. The composition opens with the subtle sweetness of caramel, which sets the stage for the heart's delicate Bulgarian rose. This floral note is then anchored by the warm base of Australian sandalwood, Himalayan cedar, and musk, creating a harmonious blend of softness and strength. It represents the distinctive elegance and self-confidence that defines its wearer.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for the best longevity. The caramel top note is fleeting but sets up the rich base notes beautifully. It's ideal for evening wear when the warmth of sandalwood and cedar can envelop you throughout the night.
