  Lacoste Original 2024 is aromatic, floral, and woody. It opens citrusy and slightly spicy with cardamom and bergamot. Over time, an intense herbal note emerges with a certain metallic acidity from sage and violet leaves. After about 20 minutes, that herbal phase gives way to an aromatic, powdery lavender that dominates the rest of the development, accompanied by woody sandalwood and amber. It’s versatile and daily, ideal for the office or out, casual or formal situations, preferably during the day, though I believe it’s multi-seasonal. Longevity on skin was good, around 8 hours, with a noticeable sillage for the first hour before dropping down to sit close to the skin. I’ve never tried the 1984 version, but I’m sure they are nothing alike; this one smells modern, has fougère elements but none of the 80s fougère. I didn’t expect to like it so much, but its aroma has been very attractive to me—neither classic nor strange, but very easy to like. At one point, it reminded me a bit of Sauvage Parfum.

  I expected something more dull and generic, and while it doesn’t innovate, the scent is pleasant, especially as it dries down. It opens with an unrealistic, slightly harsh citrus burst of bergamot, contrasting with cardamom and pink pepper for a spicy touch. The initial phase doesn’t last long, and gradually lavender and statice take over, shifting it to a more aromatic profile. Finally, sandalwood appears, adding an interesting woody nuance that rounds everything off. In the dry-down, it reminded me of Loewe 7 Cobalt for that slight metallic afterglow, though I prefer Lacoste Original for its lovely sandalwood. Longevity and sillage are moderate—not overwhelming, but not short-lived either. After several tries, it doesn’t quite win me over, but it’s not bad; it’s easy to like and reasonably priced. I expected something more timeless with worse performance. It could serve as a wardrobe staple for everyday days when you want to smell good without drawing attention.

  Those who expected a reissue of the 1984 Lacoste were deluded, and I was the first. I’ve worn the original Lacoste for over 40 years, and seeing this new version shattered all my hopes of using it again. Unfortunately, it is nothing like the reality. It’s a gazpacho with lots of bergamot, pepper, and patchouli. Perhaps it will appeal to some teenagers, but those of us who have used the previous fragrance will understand what I mean: the citrus freshness has almost completely disappeared, and the geranium is entirely absent. Everything has changed, but the original fragrance is deeply missed.

  Anyone expecting a re-release of the 1984 Lacoste was deluded, and I was first among them. Having used the previous Lacoste for over 40 years, seeing this new version reignited all my hopes of using it again. Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. It’s like gazpacho with lots of bergamot, pepper, and patchouli; that’s what I mean by gazpacho. It might please some teenagers, but those of us who have used the previous fragrance will understand what I mean: the citrus freshness has almost disappeared completely, and geranium is nowhere to be seen. Everything has changed, but the original fragrance is missed.

  It reminds me a lot of Dior Sauvage EDT at first, but more campy and aromatic. In the dry-down, it is of the EDP style, yet without the sweetness of this one.

  Don’t even think for a second that it resembles the Lacoste Original from 1984, a zesty, green, exciting fougère. This cologne is completely different; what the advertising says about paying homage to the icon is just the bottle and box. It’s a rather inferior fragrance. Amber Xtreme and cardamom dominate, a sweet and vanilla-like scent that faintly recalls the low version of Layton. There’s nothing green or citrusy, and the spices don’t blend well with the sweetness. I don’t recommend buying it blindly. I still have the Lacoste Original 1984 at home, and it’s like mixing Creed Neroli with Tom Ford Grey Vetiver, with less sillage and potency than this, but retaining that citrusy, green spark and the 80s fougère.

  It bears no resemblance to the Lacoste Original from 1984, that exciting, citrusy green fougère. This cologne is something else entirely; the advertising merely copies the bottle and box. It is a rather inferior fragrance. Amber Xtreme and cardamomo dominate, creating a sweet, vanilla-like scent reminiscent of a low-end Layton. There is no green, no citrus, and the spices do not blend well with the sweetness. I do not recommend buying it blindly. I still have the original at home, which is like mixing Creed Neroli with Tom Ford Grey Vetiver, with less trail and potency but retaining that 80s citrus spark, green note, and fougère character.

  It has an opening I like, but a synthetic dry-down that doesn’t quite convince me.

  It’s not the 84, nor do I think that was their intention. But the bad is so bad that, in the end, it turns out to be good.

  It’s not the 84, nor do I think I’d want it to be. Yet it’s so poor that, in the end, it turns out to be good.
