Style in Play

Lacoste Style in Play Red Men EDT opens with a soft projection of mildly sweet, apple, fresh woody, and white floral notes. The opening is airy, fresh, faint, fruity, and woody green, and very pleasant. The green apple in this fragrance is noticeable, a note closer to the granny smith apple as opposed to red apple, sweet, green, and sour. The Thuja, pine, and cedar create green foliage like accord, evocative of forest and trees, breeze, and fresh. The combination of apple and green tree notes is fantastic. The jasmine is a soft white floral touch, just a pinch. The patchouli and vetiver form the base notes are just a light green whiff, similarly, the white musk is a soft projecting touch. The fragrance is linear, all feature notes come up as soon as the fragrance is applied and continue into the dry-down, the only noticeable change is the significant loss of projection, the fragrance opens with a soft projection and in few minutes, it recedes to a skin scent. Once Lacoste Style in Play Red Men EDT has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a very soft projection, sweet, green apple, and fresh woody fragrance with white floral and light green accords. The fragrance feels casual, comforting, delectable, diluted, disappointing, diurnal, faint, fresh, fruity, green, light, modern, refreshing, short-lived, sour, sporty, sweet, unique, unisex, white, woody, and very pleasant.

Who doesn't like Fresh-n-Fruity..?? Definitely a "Happy Fragrance"... While falling just outside my overall Top 10, Style in Play remains one of my top fragrances for Spring and Summer wear. On a sidebar - this bottle remains special - I received this bottle from my mother a few years ago as a Christmas present. After all these years, and plenty of presents, she continues to support my "fascination" or "cologne obsession". Thanks, Mom..!! Back to Style in Play... Out of the bottle, you will love the blast of citrus, fruity, and herbal notes that settles into a very pleasant scent that is aromatic and herbal/woodsy. To reiterate, Style in Play is ideal for Spring and Summer. This fragrance offers great flexibility in that it can be worn day or night and suitable for all ages. I even ponder the thought that it might be acceptable to be worn by females who live "on the edge" or "daring" enough to give it a shot... Longevity and projection/sillage are average at best, which to me are the most important qualities in a fragrance, but disappointing given how much I love the fragrance. I suppose that it is "par for the course" for those aromatic/fruity/herbal summer fragrances. The beauty about that is - Style in Play is "office safe" - feeling and smelling good without offending those with more sensitive noses. I have accumulated seven (7) Lacoste fragrances in my collection - Style in Play is my favorite and the one with the best longevity and projection/sillage... The bottle and packaging are first class. I am especially fond of the bottle - easy to hold, clear by design, with a red-tone finish. Nicely done... Due to the below average performance in longevity and projection/sillage, my final tally for Lacoste Style in Play is 4.2 stars out of 5. Given that I love this fragrance (and the sentimental value), I still endorse or recommend adding to your collection. Daily I.M. - "Build Character... Build Trust... They last a lifetime... But most importantly, pass it on..."

Another typical Lacoste frag to me. They always produce amazing scents that I just love, just to be let down by the garbage performance. Some reviews’ve claimed to have decent performance, but for me personally and the batch I’ve got, it’s terrible in terms of performance. Great “red” and “green” scent. A little sour sweet red apple and some green notes along with it. Super linear. Super fresh and uplifting. Super pleasant. Lots of compliments in the first 30 mins. No projection or sillage after that. Longevity is way below average at 3-4h at best (maybe 5-6 on clothes). I love wearing it just for the scent and I do wear it a lot for myself, but everytime I wear it I just keep feeling some what let down by the performance. Overall ratings: Scent - 8.5/10 Longevity - 4/10 Projection - 3/10 Sillage - 3/10 Versatility - 8/10. Any occasion for warm weather. Can be worn dressed up too if you really want to, but I wouldn’t recommend that. Compliments - 8/10 for the first 30 mins. After that probably 5/10 cuz of terrible performance. Presentation - 7/10. Unique bottle Overall rating - 6.5/10 cuz even tho I really like the scent, it’s not a love for me. That along with the terrible performance drags it down to a 6.5/10

I've smelled this many times before but not as much in this day and age. I rarely smell many men wearing fragrance at all.. But I digress. It is a familiar scent but not oversaturated. Sporty bottle, great atomizer. Heavy alcohol and apple smell upon application. The alcohol dissipates quickly and all I smell is apple. Underwhelming opening but give it a couple minutes. As it dries, I get a piney apple and vetiver scent with a little musk supporting it. A little spice from what I assume is the thuja. I don't smell patch or jasmine. This stays in this mode for the entirety of it's remaining wear which is good because it smells awesome! Unlike other scents from this time, this doesn't come across dated at all. It's versatile, for all age groups and any situation but formal. Longevity is quite good for a fresh spicy at around 8 hours (heavy trigger finger) and the sillage is respectable. At the price you can get this, it's a great inexpensive option!

By far the most memorable fragrance in my fragrance journey. It was my very first perfume and was given by my mother. My girlfriend just loves the smell of it. Wants to hug me out everytime I wear it lol. I finished my second bottle after i graduated college. Clean and somewhat sharp on the opening. It has a very strong apple note that retains on my skin throught its scent life. I don't know why but apple works like charm on my skin. Pretty linear fragrance but clean and relaxing on the dry down. Overall: Scent: 10/10(really love the smell. one of my favorite scents of all time. got tons of compliment in my college days) Projection: 8/10(projects nice on my skin maybe about 4 feet on a hot day for 2-3 hours) Longevity: 9/10(last for about 10 hours maximum) Age group: Anyone can pull this off. But I think it would work best on a teenage student because of the youthful vibe it delivers) Price: Pretty decent
