Negative experience: between 1988 and 1989, a relative used it a lot. I had never smelled a Lacoste before, so I tested it on my skin. Two things: 1) Although the notes are citrus, I identified no citrus at all, but rather a woody scent. 2) It wasn’t unpleasant; it was very attractive. But at that time, scented bactericides were released, and the brand Sheltox launched one in a blue aerosol with an identical aroma, which made me reject not only this fragrance but the entire Lacoste family. I even have a sample of Lacoste Elegance and I dislike it entirely. It was my debut and farewell. Since then, for over twenty years, I have systematically rejected everything from this house. I hope to give them a chance with their new fragrances.
Shiseido is right. I bought it at a good price and upon testing it I said: RAID. It smells like mosquito spray. It has a good scent but that smell is felt in the throat, a tickle as if it had inflamed. It’s not bad, but I don’t want to walk around smelling like insecticide forever.
Unlike others, it doesn’t smell like mosquito spray; the first impression is citrus with lavender, vetiver and carnation. It has an old-school vibe, like a barbershop lotion, a masculine paradigm that’s been surpassed. However, the dry-down is pleasant. I see it for summer, spring, daytime and informal activities. It lasts over 10 hours, perhaps its greatest advantage and the longest-lasting Lacoste. The trail is moderate but can feel heavy if overapplied, intensifying that citrus sensation reminiscent of insecticides. It dates from 1984 (some say 1968). In short, I found it good but too outdated. Not for the young, only for lovers of citrus and lavender, very old-fashioned.

My boyfriend used to wear it when we met and I didn’t like it; indeed, it smells like RAID, the insecticide. I told him diplomatically and fortunately he stopped using it. Now I buy perfumes for him and so far he has liked them quite a lot, to the point that he has got used to wearing other types and is more selective.
Brutal fragrance with excellent longevity lasting several hours. It’s citrusy and fresh, almost sporty yet with an air of elegant gentleman. It has a formal side, perfect for a tie. Very good!
I first knew Lacoste Classic or For Men in the mid-80s when the best-selling scent was Calvin Klein Obsession. When I tried it, it seemed rugged and rough, but once it dried, this Jean Patou masterpiece became my favourite with its sillage and masculine presence. It is a perfume created for sporting life with a late-60s aesthetic. This icon of my youth has returned, and although there is a slight reformulation, it remains faithful to its spirit, staying virile with performance that surpasses at least 10 current fragrances, with over 10 hours of longevity. At times it recalls Puig’s Agua Brava, but with more style and sophistication. It is a scent that sounds vintage, but its dry-down is wonderful: its 17 notes evolve with a nervous personality and many transitions, giving it an atypical character. Recommended because its formula remains almost intact despite P&G owning the brand. It is a hard-to-find specimen, with limited production; I think it is worth it before it disappears for 15 years or forever. A must for lovers of classics with history, as this jewel carries the DNA of Jean Patou on a sporting fragrance with 60s class. It could also be considered a grandson of Worth Pour Homme, with whom it shares certain similarities.
Lacoste Classic or For Men, I first encountered it in the mid-80s when it was quite an unusual scent, as the bestseller at the time was CK Obsession. Upon trying it, I found it wild and rugged. However, it was its dry-down where this Jean Patou masterpiece truly shone, earning many ‘likes’ with its prominent trail and masculine presence. It is a sporty fragrance designed with the aesthetic of the late 60s. This icon of my early youth has returned; although it shows a slight reformulation, it remains faithful to its spirit, staying virile with performance that, perhaps due to its nature, surpasses at least ten current fragrances with over ten hours of longevity. At times it reminds me of Puig’s Agua Brava, yet with more style and sophistication. Undoubtedly a vintage scent, but I insist: its dry-down is wonderful, where its seventeen notes evolve with a nervous personality and numerous transitions, giving it an atypical character within current trends. Recommended because its formula remains almost intact despite P&G owning the brand. It is a hard-to-find specimen, as the brand reports limited production; I believe it is worth grabbing before it disappears for another fifteen years or forever. A must for lovers of classic and historical scents, in my case, since this gem carries in its veins the philosophy and DNA of Jean Patou on what a sporty, classy fragrance should have been in the late 60s. It could also be considered the great-nephew of Worth Pour Homme, with whom it shares certain similarities.
I remember receiving this as a gift from my mother in the mid-eighties. I still recognise its hypnotic quality. It’s timeless; it transports you into an Atlantic forest at the end of summer. Alongside the citrus notes, the mossy base becomes yours, enveloping you… it exudes class and seduction.

This will be my first review and I want to rescue this perfume from the negative comments. In my subjective opinion, it is a classic: it is not for someone who wants to make a loud entrance shouting ‘here I come’. It is a subtle, fresh, pleasant and green scent. It is for someone with good taste, who knows about gastronomy, is cultured, informed and successful in their career; otherwise, they will not appreciate it. I imagine someone finishing a day of an unconventional sport (tennis, paddle, swimming) or dressed casually ready for dinner. Its scent takes me to a forest with a river, sitting among rocks waiting for the evening. Very good perfume, it occupies a special place in my collection. Regards.
Finally I have it again, thousands of memories. Undoubtedly it is the second one I like most after Blanc. A sharp, clean spicy opening between lavender, vetiver and bergamot, moving then to carnation, sage and cedar. This is the core, the most exquisite part: a clean spice. I wish it were EDP to enjoy it more, but it falls a bit short, averaging around 4 hours. At a metre it gets closer to the skin, although it is still noticeable when it’s hot and you’re sweating a bit.

I would like it to be an EDP to last longer, but it lasts about four hours; afterwards, it gets closer to the skin. Although it might be noticeable when it is hot and you start to sweat a bit.
Lacoste has always had prestige thanks to its polo shirts and link with tennis, despite its detractors. This is one of its finest creations, a green-spicy jewel of the 80s that embodies the crocodile spirit, surpassing many new launches. It is the vanguard of the old school, with a robust masculine silhouette that is now rare. It radiates elegance and well-being with a balanced mix of fresh, green and spicy notes, with subtle floral touches of clove, jasmine and geranium, closing with amber, moss and vetiver. It is a cornerstone that, although it recalls a faded photograph, remains stylistically impeccable. It transports you to the French Riviera, to the music and atmosphere of Jimmy’s in Monaco, to Saint Tropez or the beach in Cannes dreaming of neighbours like Bardot, Hepburn or Andress. Solid, elegant and with a classic powdery touch, it suits both sport and formal occasions. It has epic longevity without being intrusive. Undoubtedly, many of the best fragrances were composed in the 80s, and although few survived, the original Lacoste in its vintage version is still available online. It radiates glamour and is worth it.
It is a sharp and unbalanced scent between citrus and florals. I tried it in 1993 when it was fashionable, and it really didn’t convince me.
A sharp, unbalanced citrus-floral fragrance. I tried it in 1993 at its peak, and it was truly out of this world.
In my opinion, the freshest, sportiest and most summery of the Powerhouse range. A strong opening of very fresh, natural citrus, a floral heart and a prominent woody-mossy base. Alongside Drakkar Noir, it is one of the most youthful, jovial and sporty Powerhouses of the 80s, where the passage of time is least noticeable. Excellent for daytime, summer, everyday wear, warm autumn days, etc. Winter is not its best season. It feels like a summer day watching the Monaco or Imola Grand Prix with Elton John beside you in 1985. Verdict: if you are young and want something classic that is not challenging, animalic or aggressive, it is highly recommended over any other from that era. I see it as an excellent substitute for Lacoste Blanc; although it might seem heavy to younger noses, it is a treat compared to others from the period. Blessings.
Of all the Powerhouses, this is the freshest, most sporty and summery. Very natural citrus notes at the start, floral in the middle, and lots of wood and moss at the end. Alongside Drakkar Noir, it is one of the most youthful and cheerful fragrances of the 80s, without feeling dated. Ideal for day wear, summer, or warm autumn days; not the best choice for winter. Imagine a summer day at the Monaco Grand Prix or Imola in 1985 with Elton John by your side. If you are looking for something classic, youthful, yet neither aggressive nor animalistic, it is the best option of the era. I think it is a great substitute for Lacoste Blanc; although some might find it heavy, it is an excellent olfactory dessert. Blessings.
I tried it and will never own it again. That scent doesn’t suit me; it simply isn’t for me.
For me, the Sofipar version from the 80s is superior to the P&G one; they are not the same. Has anyone else tried both?
