The story behind the bottle.
Sophie Labbé crafted Match Point in 2020 for Lacoste Fragrances, a brand known for its French elegance and signature tennis wear. This fragrance opens with the bright zest of grapefruit and basil, creating an aromatic freshness that's both invigorating and crisp. The heart blends pink pepper and clary sage, adding a soft spicy warmth that contrasts beautifully with the citrus top notes. The base layers in cashmeran and vetiver for a grounding effect, ensuring the composition remains balanced and sophisticated.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for a balanced effect. The grapefruit top note is bright but fades within an hour, so rely on the vetiver base to carry the fragrance throughout the day. This works best in cooler settings where it can feel more intimate rather than overwhelming.
