L'Homme Lacoste Timeless

Lacoste L’Homme Timeless Men EDT opens with a moderate projection of sweet, green, spicy, and woody notes. The opening is aromatic, the notes are intense, sharp, and very pleasant. The rhubarb is the most prominent note, piquant, sweet, spicy, sharp, with some green and fruity-like touches; the tea is soft but very noticeable, green, and aromatic. The cardamom, ginger, and black pepper are next, combining their spicy notes with the rhubarb. The woody notes are also prominent, the cedar and Akigalawood come up as the scent of fresh, and fine wood. The vanilla is a base note but comes up as soon as the fragrance is applied. The fragrance is relatively linear, the notes are sharper during the opening, but as time passes, they smooth out under the effect of the amber and musk although these last two are not noticeable as notes. Also, the fragrance loses projection very fast, taking one step down from moderate to low. Once Lacoste L’Homme Timeless Men EDT has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a soft projection, sweet (vanilla), green (tea) spicy (rhubarb, ginger, black pepper), and woody fragrance. The fragrance fees casual, comforting, cozy, delectable, exotic, green, masculine, modern, piquant, playful, short-lived, spicy, sweet, unique, warm, woody, and pleasant. BATCH REVIEWED: 2020.

I just received this in an order alongside three other fragrances, and I had to jump in here and give my first impression. I love it, it's so warm and inviting. Also has just the right amount of sweetness, and a note combination that is very pleasant and unique, at least to my nose. I have many fragrances but this is way up there in my top 15 (out of 50). I read about poor performance in the other reviews and my expectations are rather low in this aspect. Update: I lost interest in this fairly quickly. The fruity sweetness came across more and more synthetic with each wear. Decent scent, but I could easily do without this one.

Rhubarb heaven, it has that sweet sour aroma that i really appriciate. a wonderful creation by Michel Girard!

The promo short-film for this is a masterpiece.

I have mixed feelings about this one. Tested on paper and above wrist. Definitely had same DNA as previous releases but it's a bit different. I think it's softer for sure. There's no juicy orange or ginger in this one at the beginning, they've been changed by bergamot so it does not have citrus sweetness in the opening. But that citrusy start fades quickly and we're jumping to mix of vanilla,pepper and cardamom. I didn't get direct tea leafs smell but I could feel "tea vibe" similar to Gucci pour Homme II, although they're not similar in anything else. This one was even giving me a bit of bitter smell (pepper/cardamom/cedar influence?) I would also say they reminded me such classical things as Terre D'hermes EDT and Cartier's Declaration. They both have a bitter part. Definitely deserves attention. It's not so sweet as Intense, more fresh and on woody. Performance is worse than Intense but better than original EDT.
