Item #572258
$49.99About Lacoste Original Aqua
Lacoste Original Aqua is a men's cologne released in 2017, designed to sit within the aquatic fresh category that Lacoste has long felt at home in. It pulls directly from the brand's sporting, outdoors-by-the-water identity, and the result is something genuinely breezy without leaning into the kind of generic marine accord that plagued the genre in the nineties. Lighter than the original Lacoste pour Homme, it's built for warm weather and moves quickly on the skin.
Fragrance Family:
Aquatic, Fresh
Scent Type:
Fresh, aquatic, citrus, woody
Notes:
Grapefruit and mint open it up with a clean, slightly sharp brightness. The grapefruit in particular has real bite. Cypress and driftwood come in through the heart, grounding the aquatic quality with something dry and faintly resinous rather than just watery. Ambergris and musk settle into the base and keep it from disappearing too quickly, adding just enough warmth to carry the freshness forward.
Suggested Use
This one performs best in heat, when the grapefruit top notes amplify quickly and the driftwood heart develops faster against warm skin. Ideal for summer mornings or beach occasions. Longevity runs moderate, so a second application mid-afternoon keeps it going through the evening.
