Lacoste Pour Homme

I blind bought this for my spring rotation but after a smelling it I decided it would be perfect for the winter. Besides, in the spring I much prefer fragrances with green notes, fresh vetiver, grassy and earthy scents like TDH. Lacoste PH does not fit my spring preference, nor does it fit my fall and summer fragrances, so I put it in my winter rotation and it's perfect, mainly because of the gorgeous vanilla. The plum note in this is very well done, and gives me hints of the approaching warm weather. For some reason I detect a honey in this, but I don't see it listed in the notes? But again, I've never been one to detect notes that well. One of my favorite things about this fragrance is it's fairly unique. My collection is about 130 bottles and not one of them smells like this one. If there's one thing I hate is when I blind buy a fragrance only to find out it smells too close to one I already have. Lacoste Pour Homme has it's own character for sure. It's a nice break from the more traditional winter fragrances such as Polo Green, Quorom, Dior Homme, Interlude Man and other smokey, oud, leather, woodsy, sweet colognes I enjoy wearing in the cold days of winter. I rate Lacoste a 8/10 because it's a very nice scent, unique, versatile, and very affordable. Absolutely blind buy worthy. Enjoy! :) Update 1/16/18 - Yesterday I wore 3 sprays of Lacoste Pour Homme (2 on chest and 1 behind neck) and I got compliments all day. First on the train, a young lady asked me what cologne I was wearing. During lunch a guy said to me "my wife would love that fragrance you are on what is it." Later in the day at the office my secretary said I smelled amazing. In the evening I went to the gym and although I couldn't smell the fragrance anymore, a gym member said to me "that cologne smells so good." I don't think I ever got 3 compliments in one day on a fragrance. So I guess the rumors are true, people really like this fragrance, particularly the ladies, More so than I originally thought.

So originally I dismissed this scent as this has a semi-harsh opening and is very synthetic. But this is a scent you have to give at least 2 wearings before you judge whether or not you like it. Admittedly my opinion changed on this because of the compliments I received ! I put this on in the morning for the first time and liked it but didn't think it was special but then 5 hours later I received a compliment at work and then when I got home my girlfriend buried her face in my chest and said this might be one of her new favorites. She however didn't care for this when I sprayed it in the morning. This starts off with a fresh but zingy opening that's slightly synthetic but not completely off putting but still not entirely pleasant. Once this dries down though you get a very soft,vanilla scent that's masculine and also has a fresh edge to it as well. To my nose this smells like a fresh vanilla scented dryer sheet. The drydown to this is very addicting and pleasant and has a great balance of being fresh and sweet without being sickly sweet. My girlfriend said it's very comforting but also very attractive as well and reminded her of boss bottled but she likes this better. Performance on this is great ! It lasts 8-12 hours and projects very well. I thought it was below average but I've been complimented when I thought it disappeared which makes me believe your nose becomes nose blind to this pretty easily. (Also 2-3 sprays is all you need and less is more with this scent) Overall rating --- 8 out of 10 ! Great scent for a great price that smells great and lasts all day

After a lot of use of the perfume, I found that plum and green apple are the most prominent notes when starting to spray the perfume.After the opening phase ends, cinnamon and cardamom enter, but the cinnamon here is not rough, noisy or suffocating, but rather warm and agreeable, and gives a slight spicy touch to the fragrance. In the end, the vanilla is characterized by its creamy character with a note I could not recognize, and touches of sandalwood. The fragrance is fruity with a little sweetness, a bit of warmth due to cinnamon and cardamom, and also creamy as a result of vanilla and sandal, it smells nice, classy, elegant, comfortable, semi-fresh and uncomplicated, completely safe, easy to wear, does not bother anyone, a fragrance that smells good and gets the job done . It is not one of the fragrances of excitement and temptation, nor of power, nor control and influence, nor perfume of recovery and gyms, but it is a general perfume, for multiple use, day and night, very ideal for the office, or college and even high school, and for all ages. Lacoste pour homme perfume can be bought without trying, as well as wearing it without thinking, wherever you want to go, and in all seasons of the year, especially spring and autumn, and it will not let you down. The longevity of the perfume on the body is from 6 to 8 hours, with a medium sillage and projection , and an affordable price, and according to my opinion, it is the best men's perfume from Lacoste, it is the hidden gem. My production version 2014

After having this bottle for over 10 years and starting a collection of fragrances in the last 3 years I can’t believe how much I still like this scent. Being a cheapy I would have expected this to become less of a compelling scent after trying so many other fragrances but this one just has such a unique profile and works for so many occasions it’s hard to ignore. It is also my wife’s favorite when I wear it. Even though it has fruit I still wouldn’t call it fruity but has the right mix to be a great everyday office/work scent. Has some sweetness to it but is balanced enough it’s not overly sweet. The plum is dominant note in opening but it’s kept tame by the sour of the grapefruit and green apple. Then juniper and cardamom play off each other to create a nice landing of musky woods and a touch of rum and vanilla in the dry down. I don't get much cinnamon. My bottle is older than dirt so my review is not based off of current formula. The notes listed make it sound heavy but it’s far from it. I guess for Lacoste it is heavier than other offerings. Only fragrances I have tried that are in same vein are Gucci Made to Measure & Mont Blanc Individual if it lost its raspberry note. Longevity and silage is average at best but being a work scent I don’t mind. Body heat tends to bring it back alittle. It’s not strong enough for winter but all other months of years it’s a great daytime fragrance that is hard to dislike for anyone. Not profound but great rounded fragrance. 8/10

Okay, when my lovely boyfriend told me that his uncle gave him this perfume as a present and that he absolutely loves it, of course that first thing I did was searching it in the Fragrantica database. And I was surprised, 'cause vanilla and rum are not something you would expect an basketball player to wear, especially because so far he used to stick to those strong, really masculine scents. You know, woods, musk, and all that stuff. But when I actually smelled it... I don't even have words to describe it. This is what a male perfume is supposed to smell like! Sweet, but still mature, soft, but still irresistible. I couldn't stop myself from smelling my boy! :) Even the people we saw that night later questioned me about the 'great perfume' my love was wearing. Longevity? Great, he smelled whole night, it didn't fade away. Sillage? Not extraordinary, but if you ask me, I prefer scents that you can actually smell when you get closer to someone, rather than ones you can smell miles away. Great job Lacoste!

This cologne is one of those I feel sorry for wasting, I must confess! And that's because its price is always high and I never see the stores or websites doing good promotions. A shame! This is a fragrance made for fine, mature, elegant and distinguished men. It has a rich and warm aroma that starts with notes of plum and green apple, going to a feverish heart of cinnamon, pink pepper and cardamom and ending in a beautiful alcoholic infusion of labdanum, sandalwood, vanilla and rum. A delight! On my skin it has a good and "polite without being shy" projection, in addition to excellent lasting. The video of the campaign brings a man who jumps out of the bed naked, passes through several trophies in a room and sits in an armchair with a cup of coffee and he is sure of himself this way: just wearing this cologne.

I love this stuff. The more I use it, the more I appreciate its versatility. It goes well anywhere--not overpowering, yet it has terrific staying power and becomes a gorgeous skin scent as it concludes. This is my go-to, every-day spray. Don't let the name deter you from considering this fantastic offering from Lacoste. LPH's opening could be characterized as being somewhat synthetic--though not in a bad way. Then, as LPH begins to settle-in, it presents a powdery, peppered plum persona--emphasis on the plumb--that lingers on the skin for a nice long time. It's not entirely complex, but it is very nicely balanced. It's a safe scent that can be worn ANY time without worries. I absolutely recommend this little beauty.

This is a very sweet fragrance. By far my favorite fragrance in all lacoste line. First spray gives me a plum with a booze of rum and a light grapefruit and vanilla. This can be worn on night out and cool chilly weather. Tried on daytime warm weather its ok.But probably not good on hot day. Very good on a date scent. Ladies love this scent i get compliments when i wear it.After wearing this for hour on so i get that rochas man vibe to it which is awesome. I can smell vanilla as it dries down.If you dont like sweet fragrances dont buy this. Overall this fragrance is sexy sweet seductive scent that draws compliments. Projection and longevity are good. I gave it 8.5 out of 10. Also great price.

Some say this frag is too sweet but i think this juice has the most beautiful plum note in a designer fragrance and it is combined almost perfectly with the right amount of cinnamon, apple, sandalwood, cedar and vanilla; all of this balances with just a hint of pink pepper/musk to add to its dark side, and it's not too sweet IMHO. The longevity on my skin is absolutely fantastic (8-12 hrs) and it projects nicely also. I think for the price, this is a great scent for any age male but probably best for high schoolers-30 year olds (but not exclusive). I'm in my 50's and i still love this scent.

The first scent I ever purchased, so I do have a real soft spot for it. It smells very good after a few minutes as the first initial 'sniffs' are a little bit too much. It will stay on the skin and/or clothes for a long time. I get about 6-7 hours on my skin before it seriously fades. You have to use a good 5-6 sprays to ensure that it gets majorly noticed. Anything under 4 and the sillage isn't amazing. Overall a great scent that will keep you happy for the money that you pay. You can get a 50ml bottle for roughly £25. Results: Scent: 8.5/10 Sillage: 7/10 Longevity: 7/10

One of my all time favorites, this was my college scent back in the day. I have recently rediscovered LPH's beauty. The notes in this one are very well blended. To me, no single note really ever stands out more than another. What I get is just an intriguing mix of ingredients which creates a unique scent. "I just smell so sharp today" - This is what I think to myself when wearing this. Lacoste Pour Homme is a chick magnet, but a word to the wise. The fragrance may seem subtle, but projection is well above average. 2 sprays will get you noticed.

I feel this scent does not get mentioned enough on here, its criminally underrated imo. I always have this close to hand in my cabinet as its an easy non offensive classy smelling scent. Ideally an Autumn/Winter scent but can be worn all year no problems, suitable for any age too. Opens with a lovely citrus and plum blast, then progresses into a warm spicy vanilla scent which lasts around 6 hours with 6-8 generous sprays. Great quality scent for the price and definitely a people pleaser.... 8/10

I am often surprised by what you can get for a great price - these are hidden gems! Very nice and unique scent profile for the little money... An everyday useful scent... I'm surprised it doesn't have more fans! A little similarity to Chanel Allure Pour Homme + Plum, apple, cinnamon, cardamom + Hugo Boss The Bottled&Dolce G. The One vibe + Nicely rounded profile - + Longevity and sillage are not the strongest (lasts ok on dresses with several sprays) I recommend!

I swear, I've been wearing this scent for 15 plus years and I just can't part from it. Everyone just falls for it loves it on me. I want to change and trying to find something similar but just can't. The amount of compliments and people just wanting to smell me is incredible. It most work perfectly with my body scent or something, I have no idea. But it seems to be harder and hard to find theses day.

Stunning!! So I broke down a week ago and bought this beautiful fragrance on eBay for 27 dollars.. This is a date night in a bottle.. So glad I finally got this in my collection.. I tried a sample of it a year or two ago remember liking it.. this is a straight love for me! Great presentation with a great sweet plum and a very nice mature booze quality.. this stuff is amazing Rating 9/10

I was in an airport and had little time to shop. I quickly tried some perfumes and disliked all of them. I was in a hurry, no time to test anymore, so bought LPH blindly. When I got home and applied in the arm ... WOW! Delicious. Sweet but not cloying. Masculine, stylish and very versatile. Reminds me of Ferrari Black, but smells much better, less "dark" and has great longevity.

Lacoste Pour Homme is a great fragrance with outstanding masculine blend. Cedar, sandalwood and grapefruit are always my favourite notes. Even though, I do not like vanilla that much, it is very well-blended in here. Sillage is great allowing others to know you speak "Lacoste". Longevity is fantastic on my skin too. All in all. 10/10 for me. Thank you for reading :)

This sexy fragrance is under the radar and is very unique,the plum note is very smooth,at first I gave this scent a 8 out of 10 but after receiving so many compliments and getting 7 plus hours each wear I have to give this a 10 out of 10,u can find this easily online for 25 bucks or less,its probably the best cheapy but goodie u will ever purchase.......peace

Lacoste Homme was my first cologne that I purchased as a college students in 2004. I still love and I wear occasionally. Is a sweet cologne, and I smell plum and vanilla. In my opinion the projection of the aroma is good and last 4-6 hrs in my skin. I believe is suitable for fall, winter and maybe spring weather. Not for summer.

A plum pepper bomb that reminds me of a fruitier version of Ferragamo F Black... seriously. This seems to me as a solid fruity peppery spring-time fragrance. Very safe, and good for the office. I plan to wear this to the office next week and I’m looking forward to it! For the price this can be obtained for, a great deal!
