LaCoste Essential Cologne

Lacoste Essential For Men by Lacoste is a cologne that has a surprising following, given that you might not hear about it from cologne wearers all the time. It’s actually one of the most reviewed colognes on some of the online fragrance suppliers websites, including Amazon. One reason that Lacoste Essential Cologne For Men has a following is that it’s not too expensive.

You can expect to find a 4+ ounce bottle for around $35 at the cheaper online fragrance suppliers. That’s what I would call a mid-range price for a men’s cologne these days: not as discounted as some of the high quality cheap colognes I reviewed last week, but still cheaper than the $50 to $60 you can expect to see many of the mens designer fragrances priced these days.

Lacoste Essential Fragrance Notes

The top notes of Lacoste Essential Cologne are citrusy and fresh-smelling. The middle notes have a woodsy aroma, while the base notes tend towards a subtle musky undertones. Keep in mind that the Lacoste Essential For Men uses what they call “Time Release Technology”. That phrase might be a bit of a misnomer.

To me, the term “time Release Technology” implies that the essences are released at intervals of time, but actually means they are released over time when the body’s temperatures increase. So when you begin to heat up or sweat, the time release technology activates chemicals that make the fragrance stronger or renew the fragrance. The time release scent has an interesting peppery scent and Lacoste Cologne ends up having a sophisticated, pleasant scent.

Don’t worry if you think Lacoste Essential Cologne For Men is like wearing pepper spray. Most people comment that Lacoste has a fresh smell to them, without the overt muskiness that many colognes feel they must use to seem masculine. Lacoste Essential For Men is there a non-intrusive cologne that has staying power.

About Lacoste

Americans might not have heard too much about Lacoste, though this French fashion company has been around since 1933 and is located in 12 different countries worldwide. Lacoste sells shoes, fragrances, high-end clothing lines, eyewear, wristwatches, leather apparel and their famous tennis shirts.

Izod Lacoste

That’s right, Americans probably think of the company known as Lacoste as “Izod”, because of the famous Izod t-shirts that have been a staple of fashion for the past thirty years. Lacoste is synonymous with “preppy” fashions since the 1980′s at least, and they have been selling Izod tee-shirts with the alligator logo on the left breast in this country since 1977.

The terms Izod and Lacoste are, in fact, interchangeable in the United States. After their big splash in the eighties in the US market, Lacoste became just another part of the American warddrobe. In 2005, Lacoste updated its t-shirt and clothing lines for an upscale, 21st century look.

Lacoste Fashions Today

Famous international athletes like Richard Gasquet, Andy Roddick and Colin Montgomerie and Jose Maria Olazabal wear Lacoste t-shirts when playing their sports, and Izod shirts have surged in popularity once more.

For instance, in 2005, there were over 50,000,000 Lacoste products sold worldwide, including a vast number of Izod tshirts and a large batch of Lacoste Essential Men’s Cologne.

So if you’re looking for something stylish that’s isn’t cliched, consider adding the fresh Lacoste Essential scent to your personal fragrance collection.
