L'Homme Lacoste Intense

In one word, a Masterpiece! (Just skip the not so exciting first 10 minutes, then Enjoy!) It may take a couple of wearings to fully appreciate the beauty and sophistication of this masterpiece! In my opinion it's not suitable for the very hot weather despite the tricky fresh opening which starts to subside very quickly within minutes where the similarities to "D&G The One" start to shine. (bitter citrusy, a little smoky, slightly peppery, a little sweet fruity ambery semi-fresh combination!) which is quite versatile for all seasons but perfect for spring, fall and summer nights. Performance, while not weak by any means it's far from the best, projection is good in the first hour and OK for another half an hour then it gets closer to the skin where I can still get whiffs for another 3-4 hours, after that point it becomes faint but still detectable with very slight whiffs that stay for hours!

My favorite Rhubarb fragrance so far. It's the most sophisticated sweetness, with bitter and sour tones. The composition is very complex and well blended, very enjoyable, the Quince/Ginger alongside the Rhubarb gives it a unique DNA that separates itself from the classic Citrus/Rhubarb fragrances. Digging deeper you will find some warming amber/vanilla notes, with almond, almost creamy, a fresh opening with a warm sweet . Also very versatile IMO, works just as well in summer or winter, day or night, suitable for a signature scent. It probably took inspiration in Azzaro Night Time, but surpasses it everywhere, Lacoste L'homme Intense has higher compliment getting potential, more complexity, more versatility and better longevity. If you like rhubarb fragrances, a must try. If you haven't tried rhubarb fragrances, a must try also. If you like hidden gems, a must try.

Le crowd pleaser supreme! You simply can't miss, when you mash together YSL L'Homme, Bleu, Allure Homme Sport, Millesime Imperial and Sauvage all together you get this, by far the most coloney of all colognes that I have tried. But to be fair, I would pick this over any of the above mentioned. But onto the question everyone has in mind, does it last long? The answer is sadly, meh. It does last longer than the original, but that isn't anything to be brag about. For office use, it projects well for 3 hours and lingers around for the remainder of the shift. They will still be able to smell you if they bump into you or get into your personal space. As with many flankers, this is what the original should have been like, and there is nothing intense about this either except perhaps a bit woodier than the original. Thank you Israel Gonzales for the sample.

So I got this fragrance because I wanted free shipping, yes blind buy. I first came across this from a YouTuber no not Jeremy, no hate for the guy. What can I say? I love the opening so much! It's so many things to me, fresh, sweet and makes me smile. I was looking for a fall daytime fragrance to use any time. When I saw this on YouTube, I however didn't pull the trigger. I wish I did sooner, I smell the rhubarb, it reminded me of John Varatos vintage, if I recall it's used there too. Oh and the orange with the spices smells so good. To my nose I love it! Overall I love it however it performance is not the best, it's also not the worst. I've noticed what? Maybe 5 hours or so. I'll get hints of it if a breeze hits me, im sure i've gone nose blind to it . Would I recommend it? Yes! regardless if you like it or not for the price you can't go wrong.

This is "a different blue fragrance", which is great. At the end, it reminds me a little of Bleu de Chanel, due to its "creaminess" and "woodiness". However, don't get it twisted, this smells nothing like Bleu de Chanel or any other fragrance on the market. I love Lacoste tried to do something different here and actually achieved it. I'd say the smell changes over time (maceration), so keep that in mind. I know there'll be people that won't appreciate it for what it is, but for less than $50 USD this is a banger if something versatile is what you're looking for. Performance is really good on my skin unlike other fragrances from the same brand like Lacoste Blanc. Anyway, if the performance isn't good on you, you can always reapply it because it costs $25 USD on Amazon, DUH

I was happily surprised with uniqueness of the scent upon sniffed right at my hand. Totally new experience, new excitement and new database just stored in my mind. Never smell like this before. Salute Master Perfumer Michel Girard on this art of scent. Indeed it would be great in my fragrance collection. Allow me to skip on the review and description, thus i only want to share this is good. yeah it is good. Lacoste intense is not generic, its not ordinary. I wish one day the Parfum version will be produced for the greater longevity and more depth. Despite of EDT, the projection quite good for 2 hours, more least. Longevity around 6 hours. Ain't hurt for pocket, not a bad bottle presentation even though regular style square. Great and thank you for this!

I have this one already a year now. Scored 150ml bottle for 35 euros and after a year wearing this fragrance, i gotta tell you that was a big STEAL. The smell is amazing. Kinda unique for a citrus mass appeal fragrance. The rhubarb note is the game changer here. It's sweet, fruity, fresh and the ginger gives a nice bonus in the projection of those notes. Kinda woody on the drydown, with the fruits remaining till the very end of the longevity. It's difficult for me to find fragrances that last long on my skin, but with this one i take 10 hours of longevity with good projection for the first 4 hours! I have a decent collection (check it out) and this is my strongest performing fragrance so far. It was a like, now it's a love. I will keep buying it.

Smells amazing. Little sweet but not overpowering and not cloying. Very juicy opening. Soft projection and have weak longevity for me. I can't imagine the OG version it must be very weak. work on an occasion, it easy to wear, easy to like and mass appealing. It didn't last on my skin. I need to overspray to get better performance. Soft sillage for hours on my clothes. I dislike the opening(something sour) I think it rhubarb note. let it settle for 5 minutes and it changes to something that I really like, sweet woody and fruity. The drydown really good. Rating: 8.5/10(I really like this) For the price it really worth buy. Bring decant if you need to refresh it. I put this in same category as YSL Lhomme.

L'Homme Lacoste Intense is a fruity, woody, aromatic fragrance. Its fruity opening is fresh and citrusy, it contains some slightly metallic and spicy elements. Some time later, the presence of woody and musky notes increases, which give it a slightly creamy sensation until its drying phase. The fragrance is fresh and fruity, but not aquatic in style, rather a little spicy, which makes it suitable for use during spring, summer and autumn, for casual outings or even for use in the office. Its aroma is very similar to the original L'homme, although this version is a little more spicy. Its duration is approximately 7 to 8 hours. with low sillage.

What a great smelling scent! Truth in advertising, I really love the original L'Homme, so loving this is not a stretch. As mentioned by others, Intense does last longer than the original, but, unfortunately, it isn't a beast. Honestly, don't understand the hate. Sure this isn't a groundbreaker, but what's wrong with just smelling good..damn good at that? Sure, it's interesting when someone creates a scent that reminds you of old books or burning rubber, but is that what you want to smell like when on a date? Really? To me, pleasant and crowd pleasing aren't negatives, but rather reasons to buy.

I think this punches way above it's weight. Strong grapefruit citrus opening followed quickly by the rhubarb and peppery ginger. that 3 piece opening is just different enough to keep me really interested. With 30 minutes the florals come forward with the hedione doing the work. Not too long after your into the dry down. It's ambery and woody but in a cheaper sort of way. I was really hoping for a lasting amber/cedar/musk base on this. Layering this with a quality white musk might be the trick to take this from a 7 to a 9/9.5

One of the first colognes I purchased some years ago. The rhubarb note is so unique and clever. The only drawback to this is that it is so weak. Luckily it is cheap enough. Perhaps one day there will be a reformulation or higher concentration flanker released. I highly recommend layering this with Y EDP to make it last a lot longer and project more. This was my go-to combo for one summer. That also makes this just a bit more mature as well and takes it out of the teenager dept store vibe that it can give off.

This is a very well balanced,nice refreshing fragrance. Its just really nice to wear. A very versatile scent that projects confidence. True it follows closely along the same path as many of the fragrances mentioned below but it does not copy any particular one. This scent has enough about it to stand on its own and is well worth a sniff. Projection is decent around arms length for around 3-4 hours before it settles into a skin scent. Longevity was 8-9 hours. Very respectable.

Definitely a hidden gem. Nobody talks about it anymore. Thats when you break it out and remind everyone its still a banger! One of the few fragrances I have, that ive finished a bottle and broke open the backup. Killed a 3.4oz bottle. Just cracked my 5oz backup open. Man, this is some good stuff! Ive always worn cologne. Even as a young boy. This is one of my OGs, from when I went down the rabbit hole of collecting fragrance. Right around 2019... 7 years later..

Unique blend, smells like a sweet sangria of tropical drinks blended and has this effervescent vibe about it. You will stand out great if you wear this and not smells like everyone else. This is a great summer fragrance if you want to stand out. It smells very fruity/ sweet and with a touch of woods and and the quince note is just fantastic. I also pickup that rhubarb note and it smells citrusy and comforting and gives off a green vibe.

An intense version was necessary. An intense version of a Lacoste fragrance is barely just barely comparable to say a regular Azzaro or many other houses. This one lasts just enough to be satisfactory. I’m not impressed considering the intense concentration.. for longevity. But man, it smells amazing. One of my favorite scents out of the 25 or so that I have. I just wish it lasted longer. I’m lucky to get 2-3 hours.

I have around 50 fragrances and this one is one of the cheapest. But it is the only fragrance that I can't stop using. It smells so unique. Nothing like all those Sauvage, Invictus clones that are coming out all the time. The opening is just gorgeous. The performance is not the best but everything else is just amazing. The only problem with this fragrance is that it is not from the right house.

Smells beautiful. Fresh and crisp orange/grapefruit "shower gel vibe" with some dense semi-sweetness and woods. Very versatile for day and night, heavy and woodier version of the original with the same smell. Projection is acceptable and longevity is still not satisfying for an "intense" that is backed by synthetic notes but for the price it is a good opinion.

I liked the original release but found it to be rather weak, testing the intense against the original, i would say the intense is a bit stronger and even better, it start off with a fresh blast that quickly turns a bit spicy and you can smell the ambroxan and the almond. I loved this scent even if it reminds me of other releases, a crowd pleaser for sure.

The opening is simply magnificent. It’s citrusy and spicy and then it dries down to a nice sweet spicy combo that is best suited for warm weather. It’s projects well around 2-3 ft and longevity is around 8 hours on me. This is by far the best Lacoste cologne and is an easy blind guy if you are familiar with the prominent notes. Overall: 8.75/10
