Land

Lacoste Land is so under the radar, but I selfishly want it to remain that way (should I even write a review?). This one hits the olfactory receptors in such away that I reminded of a time and a place that is just out of reach (don't you love when that happens?), a sense of yearning and comfort, but a tinge of melancholy as well—I like to wear this on rainy days. I discern quality materials in this, and the composition itself is so sublime. It is such 'whole is greater than the sum of its parts' masterpiece, where not one note demands the most attention. Right up there with Serge Lutens and Frederic Malle, and we are talking about a Lacoste release from nearly thirty years ago. 10/10. Accompanying Soundtrack: Rafael Anton Irisarri, 'Empire Systems.'

So happy to come across this hidden gem. From prior experience with Booster from Lacoste, Land is probably best described as the edp version of Booster. Noble, strong, confident in life, classy with warm charisma all sum up Lacoste Land. I forever think of a tastefully stylish French "county" type of individual driving his Citreon from the city to the rural roads of France all while wearing Lacoste Land. A throwback to the late 70's and early 80's with a well heeled bohemian vibe to this very underrated scent designed by none other than the house of Jean Patou. Lacoste Land has Instantly became one of my all time favorite colognes. 9/10

Lacoste Land heralds to a time when Men's fragrances were bold, strong and distinctively masculine. Similar to releases during the 70s, 80s and up to mid 90's, Land is a noteworthy and nostalgic reminder of a sadly bygone era of innovation in perfumery. A time when even sports apparel companies released perfumes that were 10+ times better in terms of uniqueness, quality and performance than the majority of scents released by established designers of today. Lacoste Land is a warm and aromatic elixir with depth and complexity that will intrigue you and those who smell it on you.

I never trust Fragrantica when put this generical notes by chance without cure or interest in discovery. In fact: TOP: juniper, lavender, bergamot, coriander, mace, pepper, cyclamen. HEART: lily of the valley, geranium and carnation. BASE: cedar, vetiver, musk, amber and oak moss. Description below, it was made without the real notes. Not so oriental. Fresh citrus warm woody I'll say. Beguin like a traditional office scent almost cold, after one hour is a warm delicious gourmand fragrance with sweet caramel notes. Incredible.

This frag is pure class .. under the radar over at BN for the decade that i have been involved .. iF the 5 or 6 top reviewers get to smell this & understand its beauty , describe it eloquently >>Prices will skyrocket !!! ... My tip grab some whilst it is still affordable or it will go the way of M7 & Gucci Ph & many others .. Cheers
