The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2004 by Lacoste Fragrances, Style in Play is an aromatic-woody fragrance for men created by perfumer Annick Ménardo. The composition opens with the crisp freshness of green apple and thuja, creating a vibrant and energetic start. As it settles, jasmine and cedar add warmth and depth to the blend, while white musk and vetiver provide a grounding base that keeps the scent from feeling too light or fleeting.
Apply one or two sprays in the morning for optimal wear. The green apple note is particularly vibrant but fades within an hour; the musk and vetiver base will keep it lingering through the day. It reads best close to skin, so a heavier first pass can enhance its presence.
