At this point, it’s good for a perfume to show itself fully green, without excuses. Match Point is sharp and arid green, except for a touch of modern fruitiness. In a world of sweet perfumes, this is fresh air, like Benetton Colors Green. I disagree that it’s generic or harmless; it’s retro and sporty, with a tennis-themed box and bottle. It has avianilla nuances and vetiver, no aquatic notes, balsamic green like a breeze in the pines. As it loses strength, it gains nuances but the countryside essence remains. Lasts 6-7 hours with good projection. It’s not just for summer; it’s versatile all year. Its roots are Tsar, Jazz, and Eternity.
Fresh, green, and soapy fragrance. Scents that never go out of style. Another Lacoste masterpiece!
What joy this creation brings me! Due to my affection for the brand and memories of the Classic and Jean Patou, with their proverbial dry-down. The first was a sporty green, a compliment machine in ’84, with natural oakmoss. The second was more mature, with bitter citrus we’d later see in the original. Match Point turns back to the glorious past, with a modern filter updating that green, a prepositional hit in current perfumery. Perfect balance between notes, where the bitter edges of grapefruit dominate at the start to fuse into the sweet dry-down. The espadrille shines combined with pink pepper, the aromatic accord resting on a sweet, floral vetiver. It has a mini dry talc effect giving it decent performance, entering my most prized greens. It emits an atemporal, refined, and luminous air. Excellent value for money.
After years of soulless fragrances evaporating in half an hour, Lacoste seems to have reclaimed its essence: sporty yet refined, with that French coastal, masculine, and laid-back vibe. Imagine the Lacoste man in loose chinos and espadrilles, not pirate gear or Nike. Match Point revives the 90s fern family, less harsh and fresher than Eternity and Jazz, which were woodsy and damp. The old fern had dry lemon, while this uses foaming grapefruit with shower and sport memories. It’s rare for a young guy to be seduced by something his dad would have worn in 1992. It smells vintage but works today. The opening is plastic and fruity, with that smoky camphor hint clones of Aventus have, and I laughed thinking it was just another piece of crap. But it passes quickly: a fresh fern from the Berlin Wall era, reminding you of 80s ads with center-parted blondes in convertibles. It’s a bottle of Camel or Nobel ads, perfect for a young sax player. The 90s were white and familiar, and Match Point smells like that: a fresh caramelized vetiver with cashmeran-toasted grass. Basil is prominent and sometimes tastes like bubblegum, but then comes the insolent, resinous gentian, a rare note. It’s not a masterpiece; it’s a common, regular-quality perfume, but it stands out among ambroxan and smoked pineapple monsters because it doesn’t smell trendy. At its core, it reaches a herbal, sulfurous temper with wild baths, almost unisex like a herb gel. P.S. Taking inspiration from a racket was done by Lancôme with Trophee in the 80s, Roger & Gallet with Open, Roland Garros with their spiced colognes, and Rafael Nadal with Lanvin L’Homme Sport and Tommy Hilfiger Bold.
I liked it. It’s fresh, soft, and pleasant. Mentally, it takes me to a grass tennis court, clean clothes, and happy people at a match between friends. I’m surprised by the amount of hate I see; it seems totally harmless to me. It’s not formal, but perfect for the office. It’s a modern fougere. It reminds me a lot of Eternity Eau de Parfum (which I also have), which costs half as much, although this Lacoste is softer in the dry-down, more soapy. Yes, the price is a bit excessive.
What a joy this Lacoste creation has brought me! Especially because of my affection for the brand and wonderful memories of that Lacoste Classic and Lacoste by Jean Patou, with their proverbial dry-down. The first was a sporty green, a compliment machine in 1984, still with natural oakmoss. The second I remember as more mature with bitter citrus, the same ones we’d later see in its ‘original’ Mach Point creation. From my point of view, it turns back to the brand’s glorious past (I don’t know if philosophically, but it seems so) and brings it to the present with a filter of current modernity to this green, which I think is a true hit for the brand, as it’s prepositional, and in today’s perfumery, that’s saying a lot. In this creation, we see great balance between notes; all are important and contribute equally, but where the bitter edges of grapefruit dominate the first phase, they later fuse to lose themselves in the deep sweetness of the dry-down. The espadrille shines here by combining perfectly with pink pepper; this accord is the aromatic top note to my nose, and justly, it rests on a vetiver with a sweet effect (not dense) derived from its floral notes. Curiously, it seems to have a mini dry talc effect that gives it a very decent performance, entering my most prized greens. If you like green scents, here is a Mach Point that emanates an atemporal, refined, and luminous air. Moreover, it has excellent value for money.
I just love that fresh scent I needed. It brings back memories of my childhood summers. Total happiness, sun, padel, and the pool.
After years of soulless fragrances that evaporate in fifteen minutes, Lacoste seems to have rediscovered its essence: sporty yet refined, with that French coastal vibe—masculine and carefree. Picture the Lacoste man without pirate pants or Nike, but in loose chinos and espadrilles. Match Point revives the fern family of the nineties, when they stopped being harsh and gained herbal freshness. While Eternity or Jazz were woody and damp, this fern features foamy grapefruit and shower memories, moving away from the dry, rough lemon of the past. It’s rare for a young person today to be seduced by something their father wore in 1992; it smells vintage but functional now. The opening is plastic and fruity with that smoky camphor aftertaste typical of Aventus’s children, but it passes quickly. What follows is a fresh fern style reminiscent of the Berlin Wall, evoking eighties ads with center-parted blondes in convertibles. It’s bottled Camel or Nobel ads, perfect for a young white man playing the saxophone. The nineties were white and familiar, and Match Point smells like that: a fresh caramelized vetiver with cashmeran-toasted grass. The basil is poorly done and tastes like chlorophyll gum, but the resinous, herbal gentian in the heart is appreciated. It’s not a masterpiece; it’s a common, regular-quality perfume, but it stands out among ambroxan and smoked pineapple creations because it doesn’t smell trendy. At its core, it reaches a sulfurous herbaceous water temperature, with wild baths and a unisex touch like an herb gel. P.S. Taking inspiration from rackets was done by Lancome with Trophee (one of the ugliest bottles), Roger & Gallet with Open, Roland Garros with their spiced colognes, and Nadal with Lanvin L’Homme Sport and Tommy Hilfiger Bold.
I have to say, I liked it. It’s fresh, soft, and pleasant. Mentally, it transports me to a tennis court with its grass, clean clothes, and happy people at a match between friends. I’m surprised by the amount of ‘I don’t like it’ or ‘I hate it,’ as I consider it a totally harmless aroma. It’s not formal, but it works perfectly for the office. It’s a modern fougère. It reminds me quite a bit of Eternity Eau de Parfum (which I also own), which costs half as much, although this Lacoste is softer in the dry down and smells more like soap. That said, for me, the price is a bit excessive.
Lacoste’s Match Point is woody and green. It starts super fresh, like garden grass, citrus, and basil, very bright and stimulating; I loved it. Then the citrus fades but the grass remains with a woody base. It was a surprise to go against current sweet or iris trends. It doesn’t remind me much of Tsar or Jazz, but a bit of Eternity or Calvin Klein’s Truth, with those freshly pruned gardens. Ideal for spring, summer, and fall; casual use to feel that countryside freshness. Lasts more than 8 hours with regular presence. P.S. Sometimes it reminds me of phases of Ferragamo’s Uomo Urban Feel.
Lacoste Match Point is woody and green. Fresh opening, like garden grass, probably citrus and basil; very bright and stimulating, I liked it. Then the citrus fades, but the herbal notes remain with a woody base. It was a surprise for going against the trend of sweet, spicy, blue, iris, and wood launches. It doesn’t remind me much of Tsar or Jazz, but a bit of Eternity (EDP) or Calvin Klein Truth, with a predominance of green notes like freshly pruned or watered gardens. Due to its herbal notes, I use it in spring, summer, and autumn, casually, for any situation where you want that country-fresh vibe. Longevity over 8 hours for me with regular presence. P.S. At times, it also reminded me of some phases of Ferragamo’s Uomo Urban Feel.
I won this fragrance in a social media raffle; I chose it because, seeing the reviews here and being new, it caught my attention. How does it smell? Rich and fresh in the dry down, slightly sweet, herbal, and effectively clean. Is it transgressive? Not at all, but it breaks the fatigue pattern of recent years. What does it remind you of? They say Eternity, but I disagree: I own it, and it surprises me how similar it is to the traditional Acqua Essentiale by Ferragamo, but without its salty and marine reminiscences. For me, it’s that light version, steroid-free, that gives Acqua its magnificent masculinity; I’m not saying it’s not masculine, it is, but there are levels. Performance? From average to good. Would I get it again? I don’t think so, unless it accompanies me in a specific life experience. Would I recommend it? Only if you like herbal and soapy trends. Rating: 7.5.
Very much like Eternity, especially the Eau de Parfum in the opening. This Lacoste feels more fruity and soft, though without apple it seems a bit flat in the dry-down. Despite similarities, Match Point is fresher, evolves differently, less sharp, and more youthful than the EDP, which is more woody and formal. It might recall typical 90s soapy fragrances, but I consider the scent current. It serves for any season, versatile for meetings, gym, work, or when you don’t know what to wear. It smells gourmand, you want to sniff it, smells like just out of the shower, very soapy. Lasts 6-7 hours on skin, very noticeable for the first 2. In short, it smells great and delivers. Although it looks like Eternity, this one is softer and more pleasant. Yes, it’s a bit pricey.
It has a very Eternity DNA, especially in the Eau de Parfum opening. This Lacoste feels fruitier and softer; even without apple, the opening suggests it. Despite the similarities, Match Point is fresher, evolves differently, less sharp, and more youthful than the Eternity EDP, which is woodier and more formal. It might remind you of typical soapy scents from the 90s, but I consider its aroma current. It suits any season, versatile for meetings, the gym, work, or when you don’t know what to wear. The scent is gourmand, making you want to sniff it; it smells like just out of the shower, very soapy. Longevity on skin is 6-7 hours, very noticeable in the first two. It smells great and delivers. Although it resembles the Eternity EDP, this Match Point is softer and more pleasant. That said, it’s a bit pricey.
It’s a good Lacoste fragrance; it achieves a fresh, citrusy, green, and radiant look; it moves from a sharp but pleasant opening to a rich dry-down. Geranium, sage, and grapefruit are noted mixing fresh for a casual scent. I doubt anyone won’t like it, but since they’re generic and easy to please, they don’t stand out at all. For me, the flaw is performance: it sticks to the skin after 2 hours with low projection. Lacoste raised prices, improved ingredients, but that performance is bad. Only repurchase on discount if you want something fresh and clean for summer, without being aquatic or ‘blue’.
It’s a good Lacoste fragrance: fresh, citrusy, green, and radiant. It moves from a sharp but pleasant opening to a rich and agreeable dry down. You can detect geranium, sage, and tangerine blended for a refreshing and casual aroma. I doubt anyone wouldn’t like it, but as is known, this type of fragrance doesn’t stand out for being generic and easy to please. My only flaw is the performance: it sticks to the skin after two hours with low projection. Lacoste has raised prices and improved ingredients, but that performance is poor. I recommend buying it on discount if you’re looking for something fresh and clean for summer, without being aquatic or of the ‘blue’ type.
Lacoste seems to be recovering good fragrances that, even if they aren’t the latest sensations, surprise me with their quality (obviously not all of them). Match Point is an exception, possessing a charm far from the abominations of 2020-2021 like Parfum, Phantom, or the dreadful Ralph’s Club. It’s green and fresh, with fougère touches but less musky. Longevity and sillage are moderate, but the price is acceptable for what it lasts. A very good hit from Lacoste.
I tried it with a decant, and honestly, it was a bad purchase: high price and a scent that doesn’t surprise. For that price, I expected more. At least I sensed a resemblance to Benetton’s United Dreams Together.
I love the tennis concept in perfumes, that ‘white sport’ vibe with crisp codes. Match Point EDT is Lacoste’s attempt at a ‘blue’ scent with green nuances, and they nailed it. While some might see it as generic or underwhelming, my nose adores it. The opening of grapefruit, basil, and pepper gives a pleasant kick with a sweet, green touch. In the dry down, you can detect vetiver—woody and aquatic—without losing its herbal character. Perfect for informal to semi-formal occasions, warm weather, and more masculine than feminine. It’s easy to wear, and after trying the new EDP, I’ll decide which of the two to keep. Rating: 8.5/10
I don’t get all the hate for Lacoste. My first one was Essencial, a fresh cologne with creamy citrus notes that are simply enchanting. Then I moved on to Pour Homme, a delicious and elegant signature, plus L12 Blanche, Challenge, and Match Point. The last one is fresh, mentholated, green, and addictive. It doesn’t have that damn oud or dark notes for goth parties; it smells like angels. In spring and summer, it’s a total treat to wear. Let’s not talk about the price; this is a perfume website, not a stock exchange.
As Carcanuelo says, Lacoste Essential is the best from the brand: delicious, fresh, and with good longevity. I haven’t tried other Lacoste scents because they’re pricey here, so I’d rather spend the same amount on Dior or Armani 😁
When I heard about this perfume, I was excited to head to the department store to buy it, but unfortunately, I changed my mind. It’s one of the least potent scents I’ve ever smelled; I’d need about 8 sprays to perceive it moderately, and it has questionable longevity. Plus, it offers not a shred of authenticity or personality. I can’t imagine anyone receiving compliments with this, and very few will notice it. Still, since I’m a tennis player, I’ll consider buying it in the future, almost as an accessory rather than for frequent use, which is very different from other Lacoste fragrances that stand out for their longevity and presence.
Similar in some notes to Hugo Boss XY, it feels very herbal and smells clean. I was reminded of a cologne called Herbíssimo, also very similar. It creates a positive dichotomy between freshness and warmth (80% and 20% respectively). That’s why I rate it as summery but also perfect for autumn afternoons.
What a rich fragrance! I expected something more aromatic or green based on the color, but it’s not. What really shines here is the cashmere: softness, warmth, and comfort. It embodies that luxurious fabric with warm and comforting notes, like a cozy hug. A slight floral sweetness adds elegance to the dry down without being the star, while the pepper provides warmth and substance. There’s also basil, but it doesn’t smell like pesto; rather, a blend of that aroma mixed with the others. In short, it’s soft, cozy, not green like Polo Green or vintage, but warm, aromatic, and seductive. Ideal for daytime, some sports, or a work environment.
When I first bought it, I thought it was normal, nothing weird. But a week later when I tried it again, that’s when I realized how rich it is. It’s a perfume for everyday life, an all-rounder. Clean, fresh, and very soft. Excellent purchase.
At first sniff, it brought me back to Boss The Scent. We’ll see what happens next…
Excellent for everyday wear in spring and summer, or an occasional autumn night. Goes well with casual outings, shirts, sport coats, and sneakers. Pleasant aroma, green, green, and sweet. Exquisite, not overpowering, and feels great.
Nice fragrance. A good option for hot days: a slightly rough and fresh green, like bitter vegetables. Nothing spectacular, but correct and simple. It doesn’t seek attention, just smells very good.
A seriously underrated perfume, perhaps just because it’s Lacoste. It denotes good quality, is versatile, has great performance, an accessible price, and a beautiful design. So what’s the problem? The brand prejudice that makes many people discard it before even trying it. Fresh green opening, slightly citrusy and bitter, with sweet and velvety tones evolving into woody and earthy bursts without losing that initial green. Delicious, reliable, and pleases the majority.
At first sniff, it reminded me of that catalog fragrance I used to wear in school; about 90% similar to Avon’s Musk Fresh, but Match Point is its steroid-enhanced, upgraded version. Fresh, citrusy, and intensely green opening. In the dry down, it keeps the charm with minty green notes and that timidly peeking pepper. Woody-green base. Excellent performance in longevity and projection. Perfect for daytime, outdoor dates in the sun, or the gym where it shines with body heat. A gem for the price.
Smells like a brand new tennis ball, right out of the wrapper. As it dries, that sweet touch brings it closer to Lagerfeld’s Bois de Cipres, but with a herbal vibe very similar to Bois de Vetiver.
