For those days when you need a boost of confidence, spray on Lacoste L'homme Intense by Lacoste. This 2018 flanker is a blend of fruity and woody accords that is uplifting and more assertive than the original. The cologne opens with invigorating and cheerful fruity notes such as orange, mandarin orange, rhubarb, and quince. The spicy heart of ginger and pepper is balanced by nutty sweet almond and jasmine flower. Gradually, the deep woody notes in the base develop with scents from cedar, cypriol, and vetiver. Other notes of amber, vanilla, and musk provide the irresistible quality of the fragrance. This cologne is bottled in a dark, angular flacon with the name of the fragrance and the brand’s signature crocodile in silver. Lacoste was founded in France in 1933 and is most famous for its offerings of tennis polo shirts. The brand has become a hallmark of the preppy style.
