Lacoste Essential Sport

Lacoste essential sport is a great summer scent. It smell very good, very acquatic and remind me of water melon...i dont get citrus in it. Very popular with young girl (teen, about twenty or younger) who are those who gave me the most of the compliment that i get with it. That make it perfect for college/ high school or for young athletic or any one that like younger girl :p It lack in longevity and sillage IMO, so i would suggest to try it first to see if it is ok for you, because that can be frustrating. Remind me of Nautica voyage a little bit in the dry down, and, in some occasion, i was asking if what I wear is Nautica voyage while wearing it. A little bit more expensive, and weaker than Nautica voyage so mayble you should check them both. My summer signature for this summer. Here with the final score: Smell: 9,5/10. Smell good to me, and it is my girlfriend favorite so i use it often ;) Longevity: 2,5/5. Poor, about 3 to 4 hours, that can be frustrating if you blind buy... Projection: 3/5. A few inch in the first hour, then go close to skin and faint. Versatility: 3/5. Like Nautica voyage, i don t see myself wearing this in cold time, night out or any formal occasion. Good for summer time or casual. Overall: 18/25. It would be a great scent if longevity and sillage were higher, so i would suggest it to anyone who doesn t matter about these. If you do matter, try it first on your skin, i think it is worth it because it smell good.

This is a hidden gem in the fragrance community for sure and I'm very surprised that this isn't more popular as I can see a lot of people that love Aqua Di Gio but wanting something new and/or different picking this easily. This fragrance opens up with a very fresh grapefruit and ginger note that's very natural smelling to be honest and it's also very bright,sharp but also very energetic. Once this dries down it starts to become more smooth and slightly more sweet ( it's still not a sweet frag) but it's sweet in the way sweet tarts are sweet but tart at the same time. This is 1 of my go to gym scents and actually my favorite scent for working out and it's perfect for those extremely hot days when you want something fresh but not something that's going to be cloying. There's a lot of sport fragrances and just fresh fragrances in general that this smell similar to so it loses points for that but it's still 1 of the most pleasant of the pleasing fragrances.( if that's makes sense) For those fragrance snobs out there this will be a pass but if you love sporty,fresh,citrusy energetic scents then you will love this. Especially if you love grapefruit in fragrances. Performance on this is great for a freshie or sport scent as it lasts me 6-8 hours and for 3 hours projects above average. Overall rating --- 8 out of 10 !!! Very solid sport scent with really solid performance. Also my favorite from Lacoste

what a nice surprise! this is surely among the best citrus/grapefruit/fruity fresh & sporty fragrances I tried so far and I have tried and own a lot of them. Actually if this was released by a niche house and would bear the name „lagoon aura” then it would be applauded much more than being just another fresh lacoste release. Actually Essential itself (the green one) is a nice, green & soapy scent as well. It also has the vibe of Nautica Voyage while not having that oakmoss going on here. Essential Sport starts with bright citrus/grapefruit which becomes than more fruitier before truning into a very nice light wood and see notes base. Actually the drydown reminds me a LOT of Heeleys Sel Marin as it has the same breezy natural sea note but Essential Sport is less salty & seaweedy while more woody. That makes it more wearable like Sel Marin!!! Another very good side: its 6-8 hours longevity. The drydown stays and stays, doesnt fade for a long time. Extremely nice and even addictive! Bravo!

An absolute masterpiece, not just in terms of so called ‘sport’ scents, but also in terms of fresh and everyday, work or casual scents. It is sharp, clean and not overpowering with the citrus. If you can get your hands on the original batches, I highly recommend it due to nit only the scent but the longevity and silage for the price. I have been collecting fragrances for over 15 years and this is still one of my most complimented scents ever. Find out for yourself and ignore the negative reviews. 5/5 all day long.

This fragrance is such a great "sport" fragrance. Very light, fresh, watery, and dries down to a light woody/vetiver scent. The Juniper in this juice is very well done. I don't know why I latched onto this bottle more than others, but it has continued to make me mega happy. Pretty hard to find for a normal amount of monies nowadays. Don't pay more than $60 for a bottle, because it lasts exactly how long you'd assume a freshy would last. The scent profile is awesome, but don't over pay. Cheers

This is a citrus aquatic done right. This is a perfect gym and summer fragrance. The opening is a blast of grapefruit but later on the dry down is so good. The dry down is the best part of this fragrance. I think you can get compliments with this fragrance and it's also easy to wear without being boring. I'm going to try and scoop up more of this one before it's gone. I hope they keep this around. I give this a 92/100.

This stuff smells so good we literally had to go straight home the first time my husband put it on in a store because I couldn't behave. It took a few weeks for me to get used to it and I will still occasionally just grab him by the shirt and bury my nose in his chest. I am in LOVE, I've actually thought of wearing it myself. I don't even care that it's a men's fragrance.

Light, sharp, fresh, zesty, clean and citrussy with a lot of grapefruit at the start. I think that this is a well blended citrus. In the drydown more vetiver comes out. There is a note in there that reminds me of Weekend by Burberry. Staying power is actually quite good. A really great refreshing summer holiday scent!

I see a lot of people who dislike the scent on here, but it's only because of the simplicity or the fact that there are scents that are very similar... Well, I like this scent for casual, every day wear. It's light and fresh, and it actually gets compliments. Not to mention, it's pretty reasonably priced.

I bought this fragrance not long time ago. Essential Sport is amazing sport frag. The opening is very fresh,ice and citrus. Frozen ginger and pink grapefruit give an incredible freshness. Great scent on hot summer day. Projection: in the first 3-4 hours is very good. Longevity: on my skin 6-8h

One of my first fragrance, after trying lots of fragrance I will say this is under rated. Aquatic, Grapefruit, bergamot, musk are the main notes I’m getting with an undertone of juniper, geranium and ginger. Great fresh fragrance for summer, would make for a good gym scent as well 8.2/10

Hey roge' you're right! A lot of people think that i'm wearing nautica voyage when it put this one! That must be why i like it that much, since nautica voyage is one of my all time favorite. By the way, it is also true that nautica voyage is a lot cheaper...about half the price...

This used to by my signature scent until it got discontinued. Have yet to find something similar to replace it with, hoping to find something really close to the original. Thank you.

i personally like the fragrances a lot. i use it at the gym or in Spain not a lot of people have it i think. its just a good basic freashie to stad out

I still have a couple sprays left in my bottle and I don’t want to use it up. I loved this when it came out. I wish it wasn’t $200 to get a bottle now.

light, citrusy, and out of the shower fresh. Sometimes its nice to go simple and just smell clean, uncomplicated, and fresh. Not too bad at all Lacoste

My go to Summer daily scent. It opens with a huge blast of grapefruit but tones down to a nice, mellow scent that is very complimentary.

This was a good one! Citrus aquatic, swimming pool smell in a good way. I'm glad I have two bottles!

Absolutely love it! Very soft, but at the same time fresh. Gives ocean breeze.

Great scent but weak sillage and longevity :/
