Lacoste Pour Femme Intense

Finally, I got my prrrecious :) Must say it looks really cool, with the copper golden glass and cap and all. First sniff: well - Tresor Lancome 30 min later - Tresor still there but you can sense some good old classic version of Lacoste Pour Femme. And a cloying musk that stays with you. 2h later - All musk with a trace of Tresor 4h - slight musky trace on the shirt, gone from the skin. Projection rather limited, stays close to you. I would say it is a 'safe for the office fragrance'. It lacks the sexiness of the original Pour Femme though. That one still turns people heads after all these years. 6/9 because I love Lacoste pour femme by default 1/9 for originality (because it compliments Tresor and some 2-3 cheaper flankers I can think of right now)

I adored the original LPF, and the love lingers on with this version. More refined and elegant, doesn't shriek but like a dignified woman, draws those to her who appreciate subtlety and warmth. I get no gourmand notes in the opening, but simply quiet woods tempered with pleasant musk in the dry down. Living through the humid and hot summers of Florida, when artfully applied it still works just beautifully. Thanks to Olivier Cresp for creating an elegant, wearable and memorable fragrance.

It's a very lovely scent, as others have mentioned clear caramel and woody notes. Caramel is quickly growing to be one of my favourite notes, and this is one of the fragrances where caramel really is front and centre. As others have noted projection is close to skin, however I found the sillage quite long lasting. I spritzed 3 sprays on my arm before bed and woke up to a very strong and lovely aroma.

I had this as my very first perfume and ever since this has been my signature scent. It smells so caramelly but not cloying and inoffensive. It gives off a warm cozy scent that my husband would want to cuddle in bed and blast the AC. It's a good daily scent, it's just sad that they had to discontinue it. It's still the best perfume out there for me. Top tier!

Love at first sniff. So reminds me of Juicy couture's Viva la Juicy Gold. The same caramel-woody sensation, so soft and seductive at the same time. Definitely a must have for young ladies, not little girls :)
