Lacoste L'Homme EDT - 50ml

First of all, I want to say that L'Homme is a really great fragrance for a fair price, and for me, it is clearly better than the rather average ratings given here. It starts with a very fruity and unique top note - the rhubarb sets it apart from other standard citrus top notes and makes it feel more playful to me. Unfortunately, what gets a bit lost for me is the heart note. It sounds great from the fragrance pyramid, but you can hardly smell it. As a result, it transitions quite abruptly from fruity-playful to creamy-soft, The base note lingers for a long time, which is why I can't understand the durability rating. In summary, a great fruity-summery everyday scent for a small to medium budget.

Great blind buy. Something that is not like everything else fresh and clean can't go wrong kind of scent. Great for work and casual everyday wear.

Shower gel opening. Nice mid. But pepper too intense in the dry down. Can't stand it for very long.

The memory of the truly first good Lacoste from 2003, L`homme, inevitably comes to mind here. Many Lacoste flankers have hit the market since that long time ago, and none have been convincing. Until now, with this Timeless, which is pleasantly fresh at the start. The rhubarb is easily recognizable and is absolutely successful. Few fragrances have such a fresh effect as this Lacoste. The dissatisfaction with the Lacoste line is hereby ended. If Coty manages to continue this line in this style, success can return. Unfortunately, the efforts have been more focused on Balenciaga or Bottega Veneta, and Lacoste has been completely neglected as a brand. Perhaps this successful all-rounder will lead in a new direction. The longevity is not quite at 5 hours, which is a bit short, as it starts off very strong and ends with something vanillic like L`homme. The cedar note becomes quite prominent towards the end. For this price, it is a decent performance that exceeds expectations.
