L'Homme Lacoste is the new scent from Lacoste fragrances and boy is it a good one. Created by Michel Girard, the man behind Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Silver, Azzaro Pour Homme Elixir and Dunhill Pursuit, the scent captures the inimitable heritage of René Lacoste - tennis champion and creator of the Lacoste brand - who spent his life ignoring the rules.
The new scent features top notes of mandarin orange, sweet orange, quince and rhubarb, middle notes of black pepper, ginger, jasmine and almond, and base notes of cedar, musk, vanilla, wood and amber. It is a dynamic, masculine fragrance that has good projection and great longevity, lasting a solid eight hours after application. It is one of 2017's best fragrances, fact.
The fragrance is launching as an eau de toilette and will be available nationwide (from £33 Boots/$62 lacoste.com) in three sizes - 30ml, 100ml and 150ml.
