  Lacoste Original 2024 is aromatic, floral, and woody. It opens with a citrus and slightly spicy note featuring cardamom and bergamot. Over time, an intense herbal scent emerges with a certain metallic acidity from sage and violet leaves. After about 20 minutes, that herbal phase gives way to an aromatic, talc-like lavender that dominates the rest of the development, accompanied by woody sandalwood and amber. It’s versatile and daily, ideal for the office or outdoors, casual or formal situations, preferably during the day, though I think it’s multi-seasonal. Longevity on skin was good, around 8 hours, with noticeable projection for the first hour before settling closer to the skin. I’ve never tried the 1984 version, but I’m sure they’re nothing alike; this version smells modern, has fougère elements, but nothing of the 80s fougère. I didn’t expect to like it so much, but its aroma turned out very attractive—neither classic nor strange, but very easy to enjoy. At one point, it reminded me a bit of Sauvage Parfum.

  I expected it to be more boring and generic, and while it doesn’t innovate, the scent is pleasant, especially in the drydown. It starts with an unrealistic, slightly harsh citrus blast of bergamot that contrasts with the cardamom and pink pepper, giving it a spicy touch. The initial phase doesn’t last long, and gradually, lavender and statice take over, shifting it to a more aromatic profile. At the end, sandalwood appears, adding an interesting woody nuance that rounds everything out. In the drydown, it reminded me of Loewe 7 Cobalt for that slight metallic afterglow, though I prefer the Lacoste Original for its lovely sandalwood. Longevity and projection are moderate—not overwhelming, but not short-lived either. After several tests, it doesn’t fully win me over, but it’s not bad; it’s easy to like and reasonably priced. I expected it to be more vague and underperforming. It could serve as a wardrobe staple for everyday days when you want to smell good without drawing attention.

  It reminds me a lot of Dior Sauvage EDT at first, but more effeminate and aromatic. In the drydown, it’s in the EDP style, but without that sweetness.

  Anyone expecting a reissue of the 1984 Lacoste was foolish, and I was one of them. After more than 40 years of using the original Lacoste, seeing this new version shattered all my hopes of using it again. Unfortunately, it’s nothing like the real deal. It’s a gazpacho with lots of bergamot, pepper, and patchouli; what I said, a gazpacho. Maybe some teenagers will like it, but those of us who have used the original fragrance will probably understand what I mean: the citrus freshness has almost completely disappeared, and the geranium is nowhere to be found. Everything has changed, but we miss the original fragrance.

  I like the opening, but the synthetic drydown doesn’t fully convince me.

  It has nothing to do with the 1984 Lacoste Original, that exciting, green, citrus fougère. This cologne is something else entirely; the ads just copy the bottle and box. It’s a fragrance that’s pretty much worse. Amber Xtreme and cardamomo dominate, creating a sweet, vanilla-like scent reminiscent of a low-tier Layton. No green notes, no citrus, and the spices clash with the sweetness. Don’t buy this blindly. I still have the original at home, which is like mixing Creed Neroli with Tom Ford Grey Vetiver—less projection and power, but keeping that 80s citrus spark, green vibe, and fougère character.

  Don’t even think for a second that it resembles the 1984 Lacoste Original, that exciting, green, citrus fougère. This cologne is completely different; what the ads claim is a tribute to the icon is just the bottle and box. It’s a fragrance that’s pretty much worse. Amber Xtreme and cardamomo dominate, creating a sweet, vanilla-like scent that slightly resembles a low-tier Layton. There’s no green or citrus here, and the spices don’t blend well with the sweetness. Don’t buy this blindly. I still have the Lacoste Original 1984 at home, which is like mixing Creed Neroli with Tom Ford Grey Vetiver—less projection and power than this, but keeping that 80s citrus spark, green vibe, and fougère character.

  It’s not the ’84, and I don’t think I’d want it to be. But it’s so bad that, in the end, it ends up being good.

  It’s not the ’84 version, and I don’t think that was their intention either. But it’s so bad that, in the end, it turns out to be good.
