At this stage it’s good for a perfume to show itself fully green without excuses. Match Point is a sharp and arid green save for a touch of modern fruitiness. In a world of sweet perfumes this is fresh air like Benetton Colors Green. I disagree with it being generic or harmless; it is retro and sporty with a tennis-themed box and bottle. It has avianilla nuances and vetiver without aquatic notes it’s a balsamic green like the breeze in the pines. As it loses strength it gains nuances but the country essence remains. It lasts 6-7 hours with good projection. It’s not just for summer it’s versatile all year round. Its roots are Tsar Jazz and Eternity.
Fresh green and soapy fragrance. Scents that never go out of fashion. Another masterpiece from Lacoste!
I just love that fresh scent I needed. It brings me back to the summers of my childhood. Total happiness sun padel and the swimming pool.
What a joy this creation has brought me! Especially because of my affection for the brand and the wonderful memories of that Lacoste Classic and Lacoste by Jean Patou with its proverbial drydown. The first was a sporty green a compliment machine in 1984 still with the natural oakmoss note. The second I remember as more adult with bitter citrus the same ones we would later see in its creation Lacoste ‘original’ Match Point. From my point of view it turns back to the brand’s glorious past (I don’t know if it did so philosophically but it seems so) and brings it to the present with a filter of current modernity to this green which I’ve found a true hit for the brand as it is prepositional and that in this moment of perfumery is much to say. In this creation we see much balance between the notes all are important and all provide in a very equalised measure their contribution but where the bitter edges of the grapefruit dominate the first phase to afterwards fuse among the notes to get lost in the sweetness of the deep drydown. The espadrille here sees one of its best lights when combining perfectly with pink pepper; this accord is to my nose the aromatic head and justly this accord settles on a vetiver with a sweet effect (more not dense) that stems from its floral notes. Curiously it seems to have a mini dry talcum effect which confers a very decent performance to this which as it is! enters my most prized greens. If you like green scents here there is a Match Point that emanates an timeless refined and luminous air. For what it’s worth it has an excellent quality-price ratio.

The espadrille shines combined with pink pepper the aromatic accord that settles on a sweet and floral vetiver. It has a mini dry talcum effect that gives it a decent performance entering my most prized greens. It emits an timeless refined and luminous air. Excellent quality-price ratio.
After years of soulless fragrances that evaporate in half an hour Lacoste seems to have reclaimed its essence: sporty yet refined with that French coastal air masculine and easy-going. Imagine the Lacoste man in loose chino trousers and espadrilles not in pirate gear or Nike. Match Point revives the fern family from the nineties less harsh and fresher heirs to Eternity and Jazz which were woodsy and damp. The old fern had dry lemon whereas this uses foaming grapefruit with memories of a shower and sport. It’s rare for a young lad to be seduced by something like this a scent his father would have worn in 1992. It smells old-fashioned yet works today. The opening is plastic and fruity with that smoky camphor aftertaste that Aventus clones have and it made me laugh thinking it was yet another pile of rubbish. But it passes quickly: comes a fresh fern from the Berlin Wall era reminding you of eighties ads with blonde partings in convertibles. It’s a bottle of Camel or Nobel perfect for a young man playing the saxophone. The nineties were white and familiar and Match Point smells like that: a fresh caramelised vetiver with toasted grass from cashmeran. Basil is prominent and sometimes tastes like chewing gum but then comes the insolent resinous gentian a rare note. It’s not a masterpiece it’s a common perfume of regular quality but it stands out among ambroxan and smoked pineapple creations because it doesn’t smell trendy. At its core it reaches a temperature of herbaceous and sulphurous water with wild baths almost unisex like a herbal gel. PS: Taking inspiration from a racket was done by Lancôme with Trophee in the eighties Roger & Gallet with Open Roland Garros with their spiced colognes and Rafael Nadal with Lanvin L’Homme Sport and Tommy Hilfiger Bold.
After years of soulless fragrances that evaporate in fifteen minutes, Lacoste seems to have rediscovered its essence: sporty yet refined, with that French coastal, manly and relaxed vibe. Picture the Lacoste man without pirate trousers or Nike, but in loose chinos and espadrilles. Match Point revives the fern family of the nineties, when they stopped being harsh and gained herbal freshness. While Eternity or Jazz were woodsy and damp, this fern carries foamy grapefruit and shower memories, moving away from the dry, rough lemon of the past. It’s rare for a young person today to be seduced by something their father used in 1992; it smells old-fashioned yet functional now. The opening is plastic and fruity with that smoky camphor aftertaste typical of Aventus offspring, but it passes quickly. What follows is a fresh Berlin Wall-style fern, evoking eighties ads with centre-parted blondes in convertibles. It’s a bottle of Camel or Nobel ad, perfect for a young white man playing the saxophone. The nineties were white and familiar, and Match Point smells like that: a fresh caramelised vetiver with cashmeran-toasted grass. The basil is poorly executed and tastes like chlorophyll chewing gum, but the resinous, herbal gentian in the heart is appreciated. It’s not a masterpiece, it’s a common perfume of regular quality, but it stands out among ambroxan and smoked pineapple concoctions because it doesn’t smell like fashion. At its core, it reaches a temperature of sulphurous herbaceous water, with wild baths and a unisex touch like an herb gel. PS: Taking inspiration from rackets was done by Lancome with Trophee (one of the ugliest bottles), Roger & Gallet with Open, Roland Garros with their spiced colognes, and Nadal with Lanvin L’Homme Sport and Tommy Hilfiger Bold.
I liked it. It’s fresh soft and pleasant. Mentally it takes me to a grass tennis court clean clothes and happy people at a match between friends. I’m surprised by the amount of hate I see as I find it totally harmless. It’s not formal but it serves perfectly for the office. It’s a modern fougere. It reminds me a lot of Eternium Eau de Parfum (which I also have) which costs half as much although this Lacoste is softer in the drydown more soapy. Yes the price is somewhat excessive.
I must say I’ve liked it. It’s fresh, soft, and agreeable. Mentally it transports me to a tennis court with its grass, clean clothes, and happy people at a match between friends. I’m surprised by the amount of ‘I don’t like it’ or ‘I hate it’, as I consider it a totally harmless aroma. It doesn’t enter the formal realm, but it serves perfectly for the office. It’s a modern fougère. It reminds me quite a bit of Eternity Eau de Parfum (which I also have), which costs half as much, although this Lacoste is softer in the dry-down and smells more like soap. That said, for me the price is somewhat excessive.
Lacoste Match Point is woody and green. It starts super fresh garden grass citrus and basil very bright and stimulating I loved it. Then the citrus go away but the grass remains with a woody background. It was a surprise for going against current sweet or iris trends. It doesn’t remind me so much of Tsar or Jazz but a bit of Eternity or Truth from Calvin Klein with those freshly pruned gardens. Ideal for spring summer and autumn casual use to feel that country freshness. It lasts more than 8 hours and has regular presence. PS. Sometimes it reminds me of phases of Uomo Urban Feel from Ferragamo.
Lacoste Match Point is woody and green. Fresh opening, like garden grass, probably citrus and basil; very bright and stimulating, I’ve liked it. Then the citrus fades but the herbal notes remain with a woody base. It has been a surprise for going against the trend of sweet, spiced, blue, iris, and wood launches. It doesn’t remind me much of Tsar or Jazz, but a bit of Eternity (EDP) or Calvin Klein Truth, with a predominance of green notes like freshly pruned or watered gardens. For its herbal notes, I wear it in spring, summer, and autumn, casually, for any situation where that country freshness is desired. Longevity over 8 hours for me and regular presence. P.S. At times it also reminded me of some phases of Ferragamo Uomo Urban Feel.
A fragrance I won in a social media raffle; I chose it because, seeing the reviews here and being new, it caught my attention. How does it smell? I find it rich and fresh when dry, slightly sweet, herbal, and effectively clean. Is it transgressive? Not at all, but it breaks the scheme of fatigue from recent years. What does it resemble? They say Eternity, but I disagree: I have it, and it surprises me how similar it is to traditional Ferragamo Acqua Essentiale, but without its salty and marine reminiscences. For me, it’s that light version, without steroids, that gives Acqua its magnificent masculinity; I’m not saying it’s not masculine, it is, but there are levels. Performance? From regular to good. Would I get it again? I don’t think so, unless it accompanies me in a specific life experience. Would I recommend it? Only if you like herbal and soapy trends. Rating: 7.5.
It has a very Eternity DNA, especially in the Eau de Parfum opening. I notice this Lacoste has a fruitier and softer part; although it doesn’t carry apple, the opening suggests it. Despite the similarities, Match Point is fresher, evolves differently, less sharp, and more youthful than the Eternity EDP, which is more woody and formal. It might recall typical soapy fragrances of the 90s, but I consider its aroma current. It suits any season; it’s versatile for meetings, the gym, work, or when you don’t know what to wear. The scent is gourmand, tempting to sniff, smelling like just out of the shower, very soapy. Longevity on skin is 6-7 hours, very notable in the first two. It smells very good and delivers. Although it resembles the Eternity EDP, this Match Point is softer and more agreeable. That said, it’s somewhat pricey.
Very much like Eternity especially the Eau de Parfum in the opening. To this Lacoste I note a more fruity and soft part although without apple it seems a bit in the drydown. Despite the similarities Match Point is fresher evolves differently less sharp and more youthful than the EDP which is more woody and formal. It can recall typical soapy fragrances of the nineties but I consider the scent current. It serves for any season versatile for meetings gym work or when you don’t know what to wear. It smells greedy makes you want to smell it smells like just out of the shower very soapy. It lasts 6-7 hours on skin very noticeable for the first 2. In summary it smells very well and delivers. Although it may look like Eternity this is softer and more pleasant. Yes it is somewhat expensive.
It’s a good Lacoste fragrance it achieves a fresh citrusy green and radiant look; it moves from a sharp but pleasant opening to a rich drydown. Geranium sage and grapefruit are noticed mixing fresh for a casual scent. I doubt anyone won’t like it but as they are generic and easy to please they don’t stand out at all. For me the flaw is the performance: it stays stuck to the skin at 2 hours with low projection. Lacoste raised prices improved ingredients but that performance is bad. Rebuying only on discount if you want something fresh and clean for summer without being aquatic or ‘blue’.
It’s a good Lacoste fragrance: fresh, citrusy, green, and radiant. It moves from a sharp but pleasant opening to a rich and agreeable dry-down. You can detect geranium, sage, and orange mixed for a refreshing and casual aroma. I doubt anyone wouldn’t like it, but as is known, this type of fragrance doesn’t stand out for being generic and easy to please. My flaw is the performance: it sticks to the skin after two hours with low projection. Lacoste has raised prices and improved ingredients, but that performance is poor. I recommend buying it on discount if you’re looking for something fresh and clean for summer, without being aquatic or of the ‘blue’ type.
Lacoste seems to be recovering good fragrances that, although they aren’t the latest sensations, surprise me with quality (not all, of course). Match Point is an exception with a charm far from the abominations of 2020-2021 like Parfum, Phantom, or the dreadful Ralph’s Club. It’s green and fresh, with fougère touches but less musky. Longevity and sillage are moderate, but the price is acceptable for what it lasts. A very good success by Lacoste.
I tried it with a decant, and to be honest, it was a bad purchase: high price and a scent that doesn’t surprise. For that price, one would expect more. At least I sensed a similarity to Benetton’s United Dreams Together.
I like the tennis concept in perfumes, that ‘white sport’ with neat codes. Match Point EDT is Lacoste’s attempt at a ‘blue’ scent with green nuances, and they did well; although some may see it as generic or insufficient, my nose loves it. The opening of grapefruit, basil, and pepper gives a pleasant tingling with a sweet and green touch. In the base, vetiver is noticeable, woody and aquatic, without losing its herbal character. Ideal for informal to semi-formal occasions, for warm weather, and more masculine than feminine. It’s easy to wear, and after trying the new EDP, I’ll decide between the two. Rating: 8.5/10
I don’t understand all the criticism of Lacoste. My first was Essential, a fresh cologne with creamy citrus notes that are enchanting. Then I moved on to Pour Homme, a delicious and elegant signature, plus L12 Blanche, Challenge, and Match Point; the latter is fresh, mentholated, green, and addictive. It doesn’t have that maledict oud or dark notes for alcazar wear, but it smells like angels; in spring and summer, it’s a real treat to wear. Let’s not talk about the price; this is a perfume website, not a stock market.
As Carcanuelo says, Lacoste Essential is the best in the brand: delicious, fresh, and with good longevity. I haven’t tried other Lacoste scents because they’re pricey here, so I prefer to spend the same amount on Dior or Armani 😁
When I heard about this perfume, I was so excited to rush to the department store to buy it, but unfortunately, I changed my mind. It’s one of the least potent scents I’ve ever smelled; I’d need about eight sprays to detect it moderately, and its longevity is questionable. Moreover, it offers not a shred of authenticity or personality. I can’t imagine anyone receiving compliments from it, and very few will even notice it. Still, as a tennis player, I might consider buying it in the future, almost as an accessory rather than for frequent use, which is quite different from other Lacoste fragrances that stand out for their longevity and presence.
It shares some notes with Hugo Boss XY, feeling very herbal and clean-smelling. It reminded me of a cologne called Herbíssimo, which is also similar. It creates a positive duality between freshness and warmth (80% and 20% respectively). That’s why I rate it as summery yet also perfect for autumnal evenings.
What a lovely fragrance! I expected something more aromatic or green given the colour, but it isn’t. What really shines here is the cashmere: softness, warmth, and comfort. It captures that luxurious fabric with warm, comforting notes, like a cosy embrace. There’s a subtle floral sweetness that adds elegance to the finish without dominating, while the pepper provides warmth and depth. There’s also basil, but it doesn’t smell like pesto; rather, a hint of that aroma blended with the others. In short, it’s soft, cosy, not green like Polo Green or vintage, but warm, aromatic, and seductive. Ideal for daytime, some sport, or the workplace.
At first sniff, it reminded me of Boss The Scent. We’ll see what happens next…
When I first bought it, I thought it was just normal, nothing unusual. But a week later, when I tried it again, I finally understood how lovely it is. It’s a perfect everyday scent, a true all-rounder. Clean, fresh, and very soft. An excellent purchase.
Excellent for everyday wear in spring and summer, or an occasional autumnal evening. Works well for casual outings, or with a shirt and sports blazer and trainers. Pleasant aroma, green, green and sweet. Exquisite, not overpowering and feels just right.
A lovely fragrance. A good option for hot days: a slightly rough, fresh green, like bitter vegetables. Nothing spectacular, but correct and simple. It doesn’t seek attention, just smells very nice.
A hugely underrated perfume, perhaps just because it’s Lacoste. It denotes good quality, is versatile, offers great performance, is affordable and has a lovely design. So what’s the problem? Brand prejudice causing many to discard it before even trying it. The opening is fresh and green, slightly citrusy and bitter, with sweet and velvety tones evolving into woody and earthy accents without losing that initial green character. Delicious, reliable and pleasing to most.
At first sniff, it reminded me of that catalogue fragrance I used to wear at school; about 90% similar to Avon’s Musk Fresh, but Match Point is its steroid-enhanced, improved version. The opening is fresh, citrusy and intensely green. In the dry-down, it retains its charm with minty green notes and a timid hint of pepper. The base is woody-green. Excellent performance in longevity and projection. Ideal for daytime, outdoor dates under the sun, or at the gym where it shines with body heat. A real gem for the price.
Smells like a brand-new tennis ball, straight out of the wrapper. As it dries, that sweet touch brings it closer to Bois de Cypres by Lagerfeld, yet with a herbal vibe very reminiscent of Bois de Vetiver.
