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!

It's like Boss Bottled with less citrus and added booze notes. The plum is nice and the vanilla is solid. Arm's length projection and good longevity (10+ hours.) There are few fragrances under $40USD that give you this much performance and depth. One of those "dumb reach" fragrances that I think everyone should have.

I love this scent! I think it's the pink pepper and rum that really get me. I'm surprised that people suggest that this is not a summer fragrance - to me it's nicely fresh and better suited to the warmer months. Awful performance for me though. Barely get half an hour and I can no longer smell it on clothes or skin.

Lacoste Pour Homme is one of my favorites. This has a unique smell, opens fruity with a warm spicy undertone. I believe this could be worn year-round, leaning slightly towards the cooler months. A beast mode version would be a dream for me personally. Overall this fragrance is underrated, as most Lacoste are.

This has been in my collection for 10 years and will always be in my collection.. There is nothing bad about it.. Smells great, lots of hugs from the ladies and it lasts.. Oh, and it is reasonably priced.. If you dont have this in your collection... Your collection sucks :-).. a solid 9.2 out of 10 stars..

one of the best cologne came over by LACOST ! luve it luve it luve it !! masculine yet tender and warm so vanilla with plenty touches of citrus grapefruit, plum, apple and bergamot! kind of mixture balanced between being masculine with warm sweet note! slightly preferable for young guys 20-30 ,i guess so !

Just scratched the itch with this one after not owning it for ten years. It was one of my first designer frags. It was great then and it’s still great now. Even if it weren’t cheap, it’d be worth it. Never gonna lose the love for this. Solid performance as well and for a cheapie. Aces.

I can really smell the vanilla. It comes through at the top very well. A deeper, warmer vanilla then typical, in my opinion. This is one of my all time favorites. I think it has a basic ingredient list, but comes together in a very unique way. Its hard to stop smelling it.

I absolutely love the plum note that dominates the opening and mid of this fragrance. It is really unique, as I find there aren’t a lot of luscious, juicy fruit-forward fragrances for men. If it’s not citrus or apple you are not likely to find it in a men’s fragrance.

Great everyday cologne for any occasion. I love this stuff. It is fresh, but at the same time balanced. I cannot think of an occasion or season. that this would be inappropriate to wear. I'd even go so far as to say that this is my new signature scent!

Yummy. Cozy, delicious fragrance with a kick. I normally do not like sweet scents, but the plum, apple, vanilla combination is striking in this one and makes it therefore a special blend. Its comforting, relaxing and sexy. Signature material here.

This cologne smells GREAT. The closest thing I can think of that smells similar is Black Ice air freshener. So if you like how Black Ice smells, you will like this.

So good,that plum note makes this cologne unique. It's great for spring rotation day and night. Longevity is ok. Skin scent after 2-3 hours. This is a sexy one

Wonderful scent. Has a good mixture of being sweet and still being masculine at the same time. It reminds me of vanilla ice cream. quite delicious.

This fragrance flys under the radar, and is probably the best release from this house. It’s one of the best cheapies you could find!

I am using this stuff for 20+ years, great scent, not to weak, not overpowering, for me just spot on.

I love it, kinda different but in the line with Burberry, The One...

one of the best fragrence ever

Lacoste Pour Homme Men EDT opens with a moderate projection of sweet, citrus, fruity, spicy, and woody notes. The opening is delectable, fresh, mild, and pleasant. The bergamot and plum are the most noticeable opening fruity accords, particularly the plum, which makes the fragrance feel “tasty”. The bergamot accentuates the fruity note by adding a slight but noticeable sour and sharp touch. The fragrance has a noticeable aromatic sweetness which is the vanilla, and although is listed as a base note, it comes up as soon as the fragrance is applied. The grapefruit and apple are the least noticeable opening notes, just a whiff but there. As time passes, the bergamot subsides and the vanilla takes the lead; at this point, the sweet-spicy cinnamon and pink pepper become noticeable and follow closely the lead of the vanilla. Along with the spicy notes, there is a boozy touch that becomes more noticeable as the fragrance dries down, the combination of the vanilla and rum create a pleasant accord. The rest of the notes are there to provide support, some projection, and woody. The fragrance has a noticeable opening to dry-down change, the opening favors the citrus and fruity notes, these notes are sharp; but as they dry-down, they take one step back and the vanilla, rum, cinnamon, and pink pepper become noticeable. Additionally, the initial moderate projection lowers to soft. Once Lacoste Pour Homme Men EDT has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a soft projection, sweet (vanilla), boozy (rum), spicy (cinnamon, pink pepper) and fruity (plum) fragrance with woody, and citrus accords. The fragrance feels boozy, casual, cozy, delectable, diluted, energizing, faint, fresh, fruity, inviting, masculine, modern, moderate-quality, playful, short-lived, slightly sour, spicy, sweet, versatile, woody, and pleasant. BATCH REVIEWED: 2020. WOW RATING: 7/10. It is a great sweet, boozy and fruity fragrance, but very soft. DISLIKE RATING: 1/10. It contains a boozy note but it is very soft. UNIQUENESS: 6/10. Boozy fragrances are relatively common. MASS APPEAL: 9/10. This is a fragrance that most people will enjoy. PROJECTION: 2/10. Moderate to low, about 2 feet around the wearer. SILLAGE: 2/10. Moderate to low, about 2 feet behind the wearer. APPLICATION: 8 atomizations. Apply generously to improve performance. LONGEVITY: 4/10. Moderate, about 4 hours, but it projects only for 1 hour. SEASONS: Winter, spring, fall, colder days, and climate-controlled environments. OCCASIONS: Formal events, outdoor gatherings, office, casual, holidays, vacations, romantic, dating. This is an office-friendly fragrance. VERSATILITY: 7/10. Very good, a softly sweet, boozy, fruity fragrance, ideal almost for any occasion. GENDER: Masculine, the spicy notes create a slight tilt to the masculine side. AGES: Any. RECOMMENDATION: Lacoste Pour Homme Men EDT can be purchased for about $20, it is an affordable and great scent but, as it happens with most of the fragrances of this house, it is very soft and short-lived. If you don’t mind reapplying frequently and generously, this is a good nice-to-have. BLIND-BUY: Yes, but only if you are familiar with its main notes. SIMILAR: These are examples of fragrances in the same genre. Carolina Herrera CH Prive EDT has fruity, whiskey, and leathery accords, a good scent; Carolina Herrera 212 VIP features vodka, ginger, fruits, leather, and woody accords; Thierry Mugler Angel Men Pure Malt is a fantastic one, with whiskey, coffee, vanilla, and fruity accords; Bvlgari Man in Black features boozy, leather, tobacco, and spicy accords, a great scent; Azzaro Pour Homme Intense EDP is another superb brandy, vetiver, and tonka fragrance; Nasomatto Baraonda is a fantastic slightly sweet, strong boozy (whiskey) fragrance with woody notes; Hugo Boss The Scent Absolute EDP features woody, ginger, and rum notes; Lacoste Pour Homme Men EDT is good but very soft, sweet vanilla, rum, cinnamon, pink pepper, and plum fragrance. SUMMARY: A soft projection, sweet (vanilla), boozy (rum), spicy (cinnamon, pink pepper) and fruity (plum) fragrance with woody, and citrus accords. The fragrance feels boozy, casual, cozy, delectable, diluted, energizing, faint, fresh, fruity, inviting, masculine, modern, moderate-quality, playful, short-lived, slightly sour, spicy, sweet, versatile, woody, and pleasant.

4 Dec 2022 - First Impression I blind buy this and it have positive review on most of youtuber review and I would like to have something from House of Lacoste as my first fragrance I ordered online many years back (It was LACOSTE Booster and LACOSTE Essential). Wow, this is nice. Open with plum note Which is dominant, very sweet and tasty. Apple and citruses barely presents in the top note. Lead to Warm spicy most dominant by Cardamom very The One by D&G. Cinnamon aspect presented lightly under Cardamom. Peppery is very low, juniper is not their.This linger quite long. Around 3 hours Base is vanilla with rum which is amplified overall tone of this fragrance to be more loud, and mild boozy (not overwhelming) but creamy and smooth as well, I think Rum in base kinda enhance the plum to be dominant in top when rum is run out it just powder and musk (the vanilla in this feels higher quality side). Overall life is around 5-6 hours Most project 2-3 hours which is not bad considering this is EDT. I feel like this is fragrance that better in Air than up-close. Very difference from house of Lacoste which normally make Green/Freshie, This is very Warm and Strong would, not really Grey fragrance but more like Brown. (Aramani Code Profumo, D&G The One, Azzaro Wanted by Night) If someone say this is house of Burberry, I would believe (Very similar tone layering to Burberry Brit for Him) Quite similar to The One by D&G (but going in Fruity direction) a bit fresher / lighter and no tobacco. Consider this is 30 bucks, it is good for cheapie fragrance. Kinda synthetic but it ok. Scent profile fits mostly for night as it leans sweet, cozy and boozy. Can be formal if you are not center of event. Can be fun night out fragrance for corporate event but spicy aspect might be too much. It’s kinda have formal tone to it but it doesn’t feel very premium (but consider this is cheapie, it is smell better than the price) If don’t mild spicy profile this could fit your bill. As scent - 7/10 As cheapie - 8/10 ===== 1st Wear I give this a nice full wear and yes, it is a scent that better in the air than direct smell. It seems to be classier side but still have fun. Young. Carefree. undertone. it's also have that mild sporty undertone to it age group would be 25-30 yo. and it can be wear both day and night but I would reserve this for evening - night. As it still have that mild boozy feel to it. The projection is good around 2 hours before it comes closer to skin. The full life of this fragrance is around 6 hours then it disappears without a trace of skin scent (like it all gone) and it is only downfall. Final score Solid 7/10 Personal rating 6/10 Suggestion : I think this make good cheapie to throw in the car and use as back up fragrance as refreshment before night out. Would I repurchase - No - I found out I doesn't like boozy fragrance. It's smell too fun for me.

Cold weather freshie... weird to say, but it's true. I'm gonna have a tough time working this into my rotation, because the colder seasons are usually the starting gun for me to wear some of the most interesting scents in my wardrobe, so Lacoste Pour Homme has a lot to compete with considering that it's too sweet and cloying for anything above 60F temp. The plum is interesting, albeit rather synthetic. It's what makes this a not-your-usual fresh scent, especially since it sits on top of a dark/toasty/burnt type of vanilla. Just typing all of that out made me think this fragrance is more interesting than it is, but it's actually somewhat generic to an unfortunate degree. This allows it to have a youthful vibe. Safe, yes, but not overly impressive to those around you. I got 1oz for $15, so I'm not about to throw my hands up in disappointment. I can wear this to the supermarket, or when I'm trying to be nondescript in a casual setting. You may find that it's an interesting change of pace from other Fall/Winter/cooler-Spring type scents, but there's just so many other options for that role. It might actually smell kind of classy on a teenager, so the younger crowd should perhaps consider this as a stepping stone or "middle ground" fragrance... something in the vein of Boss Bottled (functionally, not in terms of scent), but perhaps slightly less dated. Performance is average on all fronts in my experience, with a generic vanilla skin scent lasting quite a while after the fresh aspects have burned out.

Has it ever happened to you that you do not find that fragrance put on for reasons of ... Climate, occasion, or mood? This fragrance solves that aromatic dilemma. I do not know why I associate the fragrances of Lacoste in the same line of Nautica, Guess or Diesel and No with other designer houses like Versace or Chanel to put an example. The bottle is simple but ... Incredibly beautiful and elegant. To me; it looks like Chanel's Allure pour Homme, only at the beginning (not everyone likes this similarity) and it is not less true the resemblance to Dior Homme Eau, especially in the final drying and certain vibe to F Ferragamo Black Maybe for the pepper and the apple that both share. What most perceives my pseudose nose is a pleasant smell like "vanilla powdery", a little of the "spicy" of cinnamon and actually quite sweet, but not the cloying, only to notice that it can be very penetrating to the nostrils and Intrusive sometimes, it happened to me. Lacoste pour Homme is not a pompous fragrance or "all star", does not pretend to be what it is not, it is not hidden behind a brand to sell, rather it is a "UTILITY" perfume ... of those that we apply when we are about to leave in a hurry and have the time over. This alligator is quite versatile, for the office or the gym, formal and informal, at any time of day or season of the year, even age range. My bottle is 2013, with good projection and nuclear longevity. Not that I love it, but I can not deny the good quality of this "silver crocodile".

This is one of the first "name brand" fragrances I purchased and was one that made me see how much better higher quality fragrances can be over my typical Avon scents. Now looking back, it isn't a high-quality scent compared to high-end designers and niche stuff, but that does not mean it's a bad scent at all. It is actually quite amazing for its price. Sweet vanilla and plum with rum. Slightly spicy due to the cinnamon and cardamon which adds depth to the rum note. The sandalwood and vanillagives it a creamy vibe, but not gourmand. It is a classy fragrance that is simple, but simple does not mean boring. It can be dressed up or down. It probably works best in the spring, but you could do a late fall/winter with it as well since the plum and rum are very noticeable. Would be good for a date night fragrance year round. Scent 8/10 (simple, yet versatile) Sillage 6/10 (about arm length, but this is not aloud scent and it not made to be a sillage beast) Longevity 7/10 (I can get 6-7 hours out of it) Value 8/10 (you can get this for around 25-30 USD at discounters and that is a great value for something this versatile and long-lasting.) Presentation 7/10 (The bottle is nice and heavy. It looks refined, but simple.I almost want to say it had a magnetic cap, but I lost it and can't recall) Overall, a decent blind buy if you are looking for a simple versatile scent that is inoffensive and will get you compliments. If you don't like rum notes, stay away. Probably best for 25+.

You don't find plum in too many men's fragrances. In Lacoste Pour Homme it is done reasonably well. This is a dumb reach type of a fragrance for the warmer months, but I particularly like it for the Spring. Upon the first spray, I mostly get a huge grapefruit note. It is so big and juicy that it drowns out most everything else. That lasts for about 5 to 10 minutes and then I get the plum. It is a nice fruity nuance without being too sweet. The spices are there like the cardamom and pink pepper, but the fruits are the major players. At the complete dry down, it smells like most other mass appealing fragrances with vanilla, sandalwood, and cedar. I do not pick up the rum note at all. I would say this is pretty generic, but it is a "generic" fragrance done right. As with many citrus fresh fragrances, it only lasts on the skin for about 5 to 6 hours, if that, and only projects for about half of those hours. I give this a 6.5/10. I really like it and am glad to have it in my collection. I use it frequently in the Spring, but also sometimes in the Fall and Winter (the high Summer heat would probably turn this sour). It reminds me of the kind of image that Lacoste is going for; clean crisp polos at the country club, straight-laced attitude, sipping on a half-and-half (Arnold Palmer), shooting the sh*t with some buddies. There are better freshies out there, but for an office or casual fragrance, you can't go wrong.

Lacoste Pour Homme is a very well constructed and balanced citric aquatic that though not innovative or uniquely original in conception, is outstandingly executed and one of the best aquatics on the market. The beautiful opening of citrus and apple integrates very well with the juniper and cinnamon that never offends and manages to hold a very reserved and balanced personality without ever overwhelming. One of the best uses of apple I have come across in a fragrance, it seems to give the grapefruit a bass from which to balance it against the spicier middle notes. Incredibly pleasing, becomes somewhat linear once the vanilla ripens over the middle and top notes, but the vanilla only seems to add a creamy note without losing its balance or becoming overly assertive. The sandalwood and cedarwood make for a light foundation that allows the vanilla and musk to come through unmolested. This give Lacoste Pour Homme a lighter feel but because the scent is so well balanced it doesn ́t detract from the overall scent in the slightest. Incredibly versatile, pleasing and refined. Longevity is not bad, 5-6 hours is the standard, though on some skin chemistries this one never goes beyond a skin scent after the initial thirty minutes of application so a blind buy may not work for everyone. The epitome of well executed, well blended and organically based.

Lacoste Pour Homme is my spicy fall/winter cologne..Lacoste Essential Sport is my citrus/aquatic scent that I use during spring/summer and I enjoy it a lot. Lascoste Pour Homme top notes of plum and Bergamot has a pleasant powdery aroma. The mid notes of Juniper, Pink Pepper and Cardamom help to give this cologne a spicy scent. The deep notes of Sandalwood, Musk and Vanilla give this cologne spicy/warm scent. The sweet scent comes through with a slight hint of Rum which gives it a unique aroma. I enjoy diverse colognes when it's suitable with my skin. I'm always being asked which cologne I'm wearing when I wearing this cologne... which is a good thing. If no makes any comment it means it didn't get attention. When I tell them it's Lacoste Pour Homme, I get a shocked look as if they were expecting an expensive brand name instead which a complement for Lacoste. I find that it lasts well over 6 hour's and the powdery scent isn't as noticeable after an hour. The spicy/warm scent is what makes this cologne. Longevity is 9.5/10 Sillage is excellent 7.5/10 Overall 8/10 I really enjoy this cologne, I would enjoy it more if the heighten aroma of either Spruce or Cedar scent which would give this cologne a very unique aroma. As it is now I rate this frag 8/10.

You wanna enjoy this fragrance ? do yourselves a favor and follow the below 3 tips: 1- DO NOT USE it in hot weather 2- Ignore the very sweet opening and wait till it drys down 3- Do not over spray I purchased Lacoste pour homme after i smelled it once on somebody, i though it can have a place in my collection (i love Boss bottled for example). When i got it one month ago i tried it immediately... it was a bad experience, the heat with the sweetness didn't work right at all Today as i noticed the cool fall weather outside my window, i decided to give it another chance. The opening was too sweet for me..i thought i made a mistake that will bother me all day (had no time to have a second shower) As i got out to work, it started to dry down and to give me these pulses of dry sweet almost white chocolaty vibes...oh my god ....much much much better than i expected it's a real pleasant feeling that it gives... now am sitting in my office completely relaxed overwhelmed with the very smooth and sweet spice/vanilla/apple atmosphere ..... so for all those people who hated Lacoste pour homme from the first sniff, please don't repeat my mistake...follow the first 3 tips and be surprised of how wonderful journey it can take you

One word that best describes Lacoste Pour Homme is understated. I'm not an expert and I don't claim to know what each of the above listed notes smells like. That being said, for me, it starts out warm with the blended notes of cinnamon and vanilla. Just the right touch of vanilla for me as I'm not a fan of the rich, sickeningly sweet, gourmand vanilla. Maybe it's the pink pepper that keeps the vanilla in check, and as a result I don't consider this a vanilla scent overall. After about fifteen minutes the almost melon like grapefruit starts coming into the mix. Nice blend. I don't detect the apple at all. I have to say that each note has a degree of synthetic quality to it, but this is not a negative. I think this is what makes each note fit together so well to create a unique scent that in dry down is cool on my skin, and has a powdery quality to it. Not sweet, but a contradictory soft yet metal element. Very clean and understated. I like it more each time I wear it. It is not overtly masculine, but definitely not feminine. It's light without being a lightweight, and on my skin it's the same in warm and cold weather. One squirt lasts all day. Definitely a keeper.

I've had this one for over a year now. I don't reach for it that often, but it really is a nice fragrance. I like the way it has so many notes that could possibly be hard to describe without seeing a note list. I would have never said plum for example, but after seeing that note listed I can imagine that may be one note, but not sure if it's the power of suggestion. I like the unique balance to this. Its sweetness is just right, not syrupy or heavy-fruity, or heavy at all. It's fresh, but not a freshie. It has a powdery aspect, but I wouldn't categorize it as a powder fragrance. I get some woods, but wouldn't put in in a wood category. It's just different. One of the Lacoste fragrances that I really enjoy, a house that deserves a little more credit than it sometimes gets. I also think it has pretty good performance and projection, but not great. Better than some others have unfortunately experienced. I would also say it's better for cool weather, but can see it good for any season as a work/indoor fragrance.

Found it at a discounters, so I thought I would give it a shot. The opening is a bit offensive due to how synthetic it smelled at first. Its a bit overwhelming. Initially, you get the great fresh smell of the top notes, but I would get whiffs of something artificial or synthetic. The plum, cinnamon and pepper is mostly what I smelled in the mid, but the dry down gets much sweeter. Vanilla was definitely the strongest base note, but there was also a decent amount of rum and musk to my nose. Its nothing mind blowing, but nothing offensive either. Its probably a safe choice for something like school or the office, especially during spring or fall. You might be able to wear this for summer if you're indoors. In no way does this smell bad, but I don't think you'd really get compliments for this one. I honestly rather use this as an air freshener for my room than actually wear it. 6.5/10. The scent is pretty okay for the most part, but the performance is average nor does it really project.

SWEET - PLUM + APPLE - VANILLA - RUM This is probably the sweetest fragrance I have in my collection, maybe even sweeter than the lovely Cuba Prestige cigar I have lying around somewhere. Because of it's sweetness, it leans more towards Fall & Winter wear. But the drydown turns this into an understated vanilla+rum base that could work in daytime settings like work. Just make sure you get past the initial blast before judging it. The initial hit is a strong, in-your-face, alcoholic/synthetic opening that is VERY SWEET. Wait until it dries down and then you can enjoy it. Whatever you do, don't spray this on yourself and then immediately present yourself to people - you won't get the reactions you want. Spray yourself at least 15 to 20 minutes before going out and you'll be fine.
