This makes my wife’s top 3 she likes for me and makes my personal top 5. Excellent projection and performance. On my skin this smells fruity and woods to start then settles into a creamy cold fruit smell mixed with a hint of powder. I get a “cold” feeling from this as well but would be careful with trigger in Extrme heat.
Because this makes my wife’s top 3 – 8.75/10. Great value, and battle tested panty dropper.
Sun__Shine – :
Well well well, what a wonderful aroma this has with the plum note taking the front seat. A lovely blend of woods and fruit that for the price is fantastic!
Easy blind buy, hard not to like!!
8/10

You don’t find plum in too many men’s fragrances. In Lacoste Pour Homme it is done reasonably well. This is a dumb reach type of a fragrance for the warmer months, but I particularly like it for the Spring.
Upon the first spray, I mostly get a huge grapefruit note. It is so big and juicy that it drowns out most everything else. That lasts for about 5 to 10 minutes and then I get the plum. It is a nice fruity nuance without being too sweet. The spices are there like the cardamom and pink pepper, but the fruits are the major players. At the complete dry down, it smells like most other mass appealing fragrances with vanilla, sandalwood, and cedar. I do not pick up the rum note at all.
I would say this is pretty generic, but it is a “generic” fragrance done right. As with many citrus fresh fragrances, it only lasts on the skin for about 5 to 6 hours, if that, and only projects for about half of those hours.
I give this a 6.5/10. I really like it and am glad to have it in my collection. I use it frequently in the Spring, but also sometimes in the Fall and Winter (the high Summer heat would probably turn this sour). It reminds me of the kind of image that Lacoste is going for; clean crisp polos at the country club, straight-laced attitude, sipping on a half-and-half (Arnold Palmer), shooting the sh*t with some buddies. There are better freshies out there, but for an office or casual fragrance, you can’t go wrong.
WarmaPakTom – :
If you are like me and citrus/bergamot frags quickly turn sour on your skin then you understand how difficult it is to find a “summer” spray and go. There aren’t many choices left besides the lavender–my grandma wore this, the soapy cheap, shower gel frags that disappear after 2 hrs, or the super popular Sauvage that everyone and their brother is wearing. I admit, I’ve spent far too much $ lately trying to find an alternative.
I believe I have found it with Lacoste Pour Homme. Although there is some citrus in the opening, it quickly gives way to the green apple and plum. The fruit dominance lasts for about 30-45 minutes. After that, the cardamom and warmth comes up just enough to soften the sweet fruit. A bit synthetic at skin level, but the moderate sillage comes across as more sophisticated and well blended. Longevity is 6-7 hours. An honest 6-7.
You aren’t going to knock someone out with this but it’s apple and plum freshness make it a great summer choice. Definitely shoots above it’s price.
pargkjm – :
This sexy fragrance is under the radar and is very unique,the plum note is very smooth,at first I gave this scent a 8 out of 10 but after receiving so many compliments and getting 7 plus hours each wear I have to give this a 10 out of 10,u can find this easily online for 25 bucks or less,its probably the best cheapy but goodie u will ever purchase…….peace
barebuh – :
This is one of the first “name brand” fragrances I purchased and was one that made me see how much better higher quality fragrances can be over my typical Avon scents. Now looking back, it isn’t a high-quality scent compared to high-end designers and niche stuff, but that does not mean it’s a bad scent at all. It is actually quite amazing for its price.
Sweet vanilla and plum with rum. Slightly spicy due to the cinnamon and cardamon which adds depth to the rum note. The sandalwood and vanillagives it a creamy vibe, but not gourmand. It is a classy fragrance that is simple, but simple does not mean boring. It can be dressed up or down. It probably works best in the spring, but you could do a late fall/winter with it as well since the plum and rum are very noticeable.
Would be good for a date night fragrance year round.
Scent 8/10 (simple, yet versatile)
Sillage 6/10 (about arm length, but this is not aloud scent and it not made to be a sillage beast)
Longevity 7/10 (I can get 6-7 hours out of it)
Value 8/10 (you can get this for around 25-30 USD at discounters and that is a great value for something this versatile and long-lasting.)
Presentation 7/10 (The bottle is nice and heavy. It looks refined, but simple.I almost want to say it had a magnetic cap, but I lost it and can’t recall)
Overall, a decent blind buy if you are looking for a simple versatile scent that is inoffensive and will get you compliments. If you don’t like rum notes, stay away. Probably best for 25+.
klart – :
I felt like I knew how it would smell before it arrived. A bit disappointed, but I should know by now! It smells nice, but not what I imagined. Not sure if this makes sense, but it’s like the smell is fuzzy or fractured, like a mixed bag of sweets. I imagined a clean, sharp plum note. Describing smells is hard isn’t it!
Anyway, my expectations are neither here nor there. It’s a nice scent. Sweet and fruity and ideal for a bracing winter walk in the city. Very good value and should be owned by all professional child catchers and pied piper types.
космич – :
All my favourite ingredients (cinnamon, apple, rum, vanilla) rolled into a bottle and executed perfectly. This cologne is a lot like me: warm and sweet (especially boozy!). I always find a way to wear this for any season, weather it’s a nice winter day or a cool summer night. It’s my go to for special occasions and any definitive moment in my life. Proud to say this is my signature fragrance.
Portick – :
Good scent! reminds me a lot of Hugo Boss Bottled.
adamow09 – :
I agree with Zuma_Moon in that this fragrance is underrated. It is a great scent that is extremely versatile, IMO. It can be dressed up or down in any season, day or night (although wouldn’t work as a clubbing scent). I find it fresh and classy. Hard to offend anyone while wearing this. I believe this utilitarian aspect is what hurts it. It is not ground breaking or earth shattering. It is a workhorse of a fragrance that smells nice and gets the job done….and I’m OK with that.
lionn – :
Really pleasant and sweet vanillafragrance. I think it´s kind of “mature”, best for 30+ I guess. Good longevity and sillage. Safe blindbuy
Grek571 – :
I feel this scent does not get mentioned enough on here, its criminally underrated imo. I always have this close to hand in my cabinet as its an easy non offensive classy smelling scent. Ideally an Autumn/Winter scent but can be worn all year no problems, suitable for any age too.
Opens with a lovely citrus and plum blast, then progresses into a warm spicy vanilla scent which lasts around 6 hours with 6-8 generous sprays.
Great quality scent for the price and definitely a people pleaser….
8/10
vavan.golubev – :
SWEET – PLUM + APPLE – VANILLA – RUM
This is probably the sweetest fragrance I have in my collection, maybe even sweeter than the lovely Cuba Prestige cigar I have lying around somewhere.
Because of it’s sweetness, it leans more towards Fall & Winter wear. But the drydown turns this into an understated vanilla+rum base that could work in daytime settings like work.
Just make sure you get past the initial blast before judging it. The initial hit is a strong, in-your-face, alcoholic/synthetic opening that is VERY SWEET. Wait until it dries down and then you can enjoy it.
Whatever you do, don’t spray this on yourself and then immediately present yourself to people – you won’t get the reactions you want. Spray yourself at least 15 to 20 minutes before going out and you’ll be fine.
arthurman – :
This is a clean and soft plum fragrance. I smell Plum with touches of Vanilla and Rum. The base has some sandalwood but its very underneath everything else. Its an ok fragrance. It’s unique for that plum note but nothing great for me. 6/10
idg199speagoessenda – :
Very nice and long lasting. I find the drydown smells just like Darksider by Glenn Perri
zkb.su – :
one of the best fragrence ever
den400kg – :
recently buy this juice. in my personal opinion LPH (batch 2015) is combination from versace pour homme mix with hugo boss energise. fresh, sweet, very safe and versatile.
wilman – :
It’s like Boss Bottled with less citrus and added booze notes. The plum is nice and the vanilla is solid. Arm’s length projection and good longevity (10+ hours.) There are few fragrances under $40USD that give you this much performance and depth. One of those “dumb reach” fragrances that I think everyone should have.
lexios – :
I’m not a big fan of Lacoste frag’s,but this one is realy nice… simple,but elegant and sofisticated,very pleasant, longevity is 7h+ and projection on medium side..
ClezeripLover – :
Has it ever happened to you that you do not find that fragrance put on for reasons of … Climate, occasion, or mood?
This fragrance solves that aromatic dilemma.
I do not know why I associate the fragrances of Lacoste in the same line of Nautica, Guess or Diesel and No with other designer houses like Versace or Chanel to put an example.
The bottle is simple but … Incredibly beautiful and elegant.
To me; it looks like Chanel’s Allure pour Homme, only at the beginning (not everyone likes this similarity) and it is not less true the resemblance to Dior Homme Eau, especially in the final drying and certain vibe to F Ferragamo Black Maybe for the pepper and the apple that both share.
What most perceives my pseudose nose is a pleasant smell like “vanilla powdery”, a little of the “spicy” of cinnamon and actually quite sweet, but not the cloying, only to notice that it can be very penetrating to the nostrils and Intrusive sometimes, it happened to me.
Lacoste pour Homme is not a pompous fragrance or “all star”, does not pretend to be what it is not, it is not hidden behind a brand to sell, rather it is a “UTILITY” perfume … of those that we apply when we are about to leave in a hurry and have the time over.
This alligator is quite versatile, for the office or the gym, formal and informal, at any time of day or season of the year, even age range.
My bottle is 2013, with good projection and nuclear longevity.
Not that I love it, but I can not deny the good quality of this “silver crocodile”.
138rus – :
I love this stuff. The more I use it, the more I appreciate its versatility. It goes well anywhere–not overpowering, yet it has terrific staying power and becomes a gorgeous skin scent as it concludes. This is my go-to, every-day spray. Don’t let the name deter you from considering this fantastic offering from Lacoste. LPH’s opening could be characterized as being somewhat synthetic–though not in a bad way. Then, as LPH begins to settle-in, it presents a powdery, peppered plum persona–emphasis on the plumb–that lingers on the skin for a nice long time. It’s not entirely complex, but it is very nicely balanced. It’s a safe scent that can be worn ANY time without worries. I absolutely recommend this little beauty.
vika6638 – :
Classy! I like this one a lot! The smell reminds me of a lighter version of Mont Blanc Individuel. They would be interchangeable imo.
Gleo – :
So good,that plum note makes this cologne unique. It’s great for spring rotation day and night. Longevity is ok. Skin scent after 2-3 hours. This is a sexy one
Loargeentaigo – :
Very versatile.. I literally couldn’t put this to a particular time of year or day. Fantastic performance. Lasts all day, and projects for hours! Another one that people just dismiss.. when in actual fact it’s a real gem!!
peko1990 – :
So originally I dismissed this scent as this has a semi-harsh opening and is very synthetic. But this is a scent you have to give at least 2 wearings before you judge whether or not you like it.
Admittedly my opinion changed on this because of the compliments I received ! I put this on in the morning for the first time and liked it but didn’t think it was special but then 5 hours later I received a compliment at work and then when I got home my girlfriend buried her face in my chest and said this might be one of her new favorites. She however didn’t care for this when I sprayed it in the morning.
This starts off with a fresh but zingy opening that’s slightly synthetic but not completely off putting but still not entirely pleasant. Once this dries down though you get a very soft,vanilla scent that’s masculine and also has a fresh edge to it as well. To my nose this smells like a fresh vanilla scented dryer sheet. The drydown to this is very addicting and pleasant and has a great balance of being fresh and sweet without being sickly sweet.
My girlfriend said it’s very comforting but also very attractive as well and reminded her of boss bottled but she likes this better.
Performance on this is great ! It lasts 8-12 hours and projects very well. I thought it was below average but I’ve been complimented when I thought it disappeared which makes me believe your nose becomes nose blind to this pretty easily.
(Also 2-3 sprays is all you need and less is more with this scent)
Overall rating — 8 out of 10 ! Great scent for a great price that smells great and lasts all day
ixk652Negeltzex – :
I blind bought this for my spring rotation but after a smelling it I decided it would be perfect for the winter. Besides, in the spring I much prefer fragrances with green notes, fresh vetiver, grassy and earthy scents like TDH. Lacoste PH does not fit my spring preference, nor does it fit my fall and summer fragrances, so I put it in my winter rotation and it’s perfect, mainly because of the gorgeous vanilla. The plum note in this is very well done, and gives me hints of the approaching warm weather. For some reason I detect a honey in this, but I don’t see it listed in the notes? But again, I’ve never been one to detect notes that well. One of my favorite things about this fragrance is it’s fairly unique. My collection is about 130 bottles and not one of them smells like this one. If there’s one thing I hate is when I blind buy a fragrance only to find out it smells too close to one I already have. Lacoste Pour Homme has it’s own character for sure. It’s a nice break from the more traditional winter fragrances such as Polo Green, Quorom, Dior Homme, Interlude Man and other smokey, oud, leather, woodsy, sweet colognes I enjoy wearing in the cold days of winter. I rate Lacoste a 8/10 because it’s a very nice scent, unique, versatile, and very affordable. Absolutely blind buy worthy. Enjoy! 🙂
Update 1/16/18 – Yesterday I wore 3 sprays of Lacoste Pour Homme (2 on chest and 1 behind neck) and I got compliments all day. First on the train, a young lady asked me what cologne I was wearing. During lunch a guy said to me “my wife would love that fragrance you are on what is it.” Later in the day at the office my secretary said I smelled amazing. In the evening I went to the gym and although I couldn’t smell the fragrance anymore, a gym member said to me “that cologne smells so good.” I don’t think I ever got 3 compliments in one day on a fragrance. So I guess the rumors are true, people really like this fragrance, particularly the ladies, More so than I originally thought.
Кенигсберг – :
8/10 nice scent I get like 6 to 7 hrs with it.
В_М – :
This scent…
Is very clean: I can smell the granny smith apple mixed with, what I can say…liquid soap scent.
With a hint of rum, which you can’t really pick up.
Unless you knew it was there, unless you looked up the notes listed on the site.
It’s a very safe scent to wear.
But seems like something I would wear as a teenager to early years of college.
Sillage about a foot away tops(unless you overdo it).
Last about four to six hours at best.
I’d wear this to the gym, market, etc.
This won’t impress anyone.
But you’ll smell like a fabric softener sheet.
Overall…Would I buy this again?
No.
I bought a 3.3 oz bottle for $28.76, and I feel jip (robbed or letdown).
АРТЁЁЁМ – :
I had this for about 2-3 weeks and found it too sharp for my taste.
I’m a nut for sweet, fruity scents, but unfortunately I did not find this one fit either categories well. It’s certainly fresh and office/business appropriate, though it’s not the “playful man in a dress shirt” I expected. If you will, I get a “serious business professional” vibe from this one similar to F by Ferragamo Black.
This is a great scent for the aspiring gentleman!
dm-kotel – :
Cold weather freshie… weird to say, but it’s true. I’m gonna have a tough time working this into my rotation, because the colder seasons are usually the starting gun for me to wear some of the most interesting scents in my wardrobe, so Lacoste Pour Homme has a lot to compete with considering that it’s too sweet and cloying for anything above 60F temp.
The plum is interesting, albeit rather synthetic. It’s what makes this a not-your-usual fresh scent, especially since it sits on top of a dark/toasty/burnt type of vanilla. Just typing all of that out made me think this fragrance is more interesting than it is, but it’s actually somewhat generic to an unfortunate degree. This allows it to have a youthful vibe. Safe, yes, but not overly impressive to those around you.
I got 1oz for $15, so I’m not about to throw my hands up in disappointment. I can wear this to the supermarket, or when I’m trying to be nondescript in a casual setting. You may find that it’s an interesting change of pace from other Fall/Winter/cooler-Spring type scents, but there’s just so many other options for that role. It might actually smell kind of classy on a teenager, so the younger crowd should perhaps consider this as a stepping stone or “middle ground” fragrance… something in the vein of Boss Bottled (functionally, not in terms of scent), but perhaps slightly less dated.
Performance is average on all fronts in my experience, with a generic vanilla skin scent lasting quite a while after the fresh aspects have burned out.
iderfedge – :
I bought this fragrance just to remember my older brother who used to rock this perfume when it came out in 2002. Every time I smell it, it brings me back to my childhood memories and of course reminds me of my brother who I haven’t seen in years.. such a lovely smell
vic4info – :
It is remarkable fragrance !!!
The striking characteristic sweet ….. but I think a good reason, like, say,
oriental fragrance case !! Erotic, sensual, emotional ….. but it may be the signature scent !!
Particularly balanced ingredients !!
The wintry atmosphere, apples, plums, cinnamon summery atmosphere is balanced by the citrus chord.
Sandalwood, vanilla sweetens until the pink pepper and juniper spice it …
All this will add rum to make her a unique and aromatic !!
I must say that brilliant invention !!
The first time can be a bit “too much” sweet SILLAGE but adequate good seasons environment “takes all” the crocodile …….
Unique, masculine, impressive.
medvedev94 – :
scent : 8/10
sillage : 7/10
longevity :7/10
70% day / 30% night fragrance
reminds me a little bit of boss bottled
nice apple and vanilla scent
SpeveToxameva – :
Some say this frag is too sweet but i think this juice has the most beautiful plum note in a designer fragrance and it is combined almost perfectly with the right amount of cinnamon, apple, sandalwood, cedar and vanilla; all of this balances with just a hint of pink pepper/musk to add to its dark side, and it’s not too sweet IMHO. The longevity on my skin is absolutely fantastic (8-12 hrs) and it projects nicely also. I think for the price, this is a great scent for any age male but probably best for high schoolers-30 year olds (but not exclusive). I’m in my 50’s and i still love this scent.
GOG3 – :
I had this years ago and like it okay but ended up giving it away with half the bottle left. I found it to be too sweet for my tastes

Sweet but not cloying,fresh at the same time I could easily wear this one all year.
Vanilla is prominent,then rum and apple.
Well done but don’t expect anything super unique.

@qazzxi:
That’s called a collar and what happened to your bottle is very common. I have expensive niche bottles with the same issue. It’s also not a very recent issue, so one wonders why they couldn’t figure out how to prevent this 25+ years ago!
lonaGeoma – :
I get the same soda pop (light, not dark cola) feel as the previous reviewer.
Very synthetic and somewhat dry. Not as sweet imo as other people mention – Joop, Paco, JPG Ultra are all far far sweeter but the light plum note is indeed interesting.
It just seems like they added far too many ingredients and none were all that dominant or high quality. Nothing distinctive.
Its average imo and not sure why many youtube reviewers hype this one. My girlfriend likes it but prefers about 3 dozen other fragrances I own.If you are looking into the Lacoste brand – try the 12.12 Red or 12.12 Noir.
Cheers!
qazplmktlbe – :
I got a decant of this and have worn it 3 times. I like this very much, however on me it becomes a skin scent almost instantly. None to little projection. So for that reason I probably won’t buy a bottle of this.
This is sweet and fruity and like someone else said has a slight soda pop feel to it. I can’t pinpoint the fruit that I get from this. It’s very safe and non offensive and would work in most situations. It is very sexy I think. But due to projection and the fact that I have other scents in this same genre that work better on my skin, I won’t be getting a bottle. But I’d recommend this fragrance for sure to try. Very nice.
Amogiania – :
Sweet and plummy with what I would characterize as a high soda pop feel to it. Clean, fresh, not what I would call warm at all. The feeling is light hearted, casual and fun loving. My kind of scent. Second on my buy list.
ААА – :
It has some kind of similar vibe to Boss #6. This appealing sticky sweetness which can turn cloying under the circumstances.
Vladislavik87 – :
I never thought this as good as it is, a review on YouTube by Jeremy Fragrance made me to give it a try. This a very good sexy scent as described by the reviewer ,both the quality of the scent , the silage and longevity are on the high end. Too good say no to the vanilla note giving out its performance at the dry down.
Виталик91 – :
Kind of sweet, plastically and synthetic like Azzaro Chrome (but I think Chrome is a little more unique). Not a lot of depth. It smells pleasant but generic. Not a bad first cologne for someone, but there’s better out there.
valeratitkov – :
received my decant today.
and yes it’s sweet, lil bit too sweet for my taste. but wait for about 15-30 mins, as it calms down into subtle yet alluring at the same time. i do smell Rum as listed, but the Plum is pretty dominant here. if you’re into a sweet fruity fragrance, you should try this one !
Scent : 7.5 out of 10 (5 out 10 for the opening)
Longevity : below average. 5 out of 10 (about 2-3 hours max on my skin.
projection : 7 out of 10 (great in the first hour or so, turns into skin scent afterwards)
overall : try before you buy !
worm-rc5 – :
This is a very sweet fragrance. By far my favorite fragrance in all lacoste line. First spray gives me a plum with a booze of rum and a light grapefruit and vanilla. This can be worn on night out and cool chilly weather. Tried on daytime warm weather its ok.But probably not good on hot day. Very good on a date scent. Ladies love this scent i get compliments when i wear it.After wearing this for hour on so i get that rochas man vibe to it which is awesome. I can smell vanilla as it dries down.If you dont like sweet fragrances dont buy this. Overall this fragrance is sexy sweet seductive scent that draws compliments. Projection and longevity are good. I gave it 8.5 out of 10. Also great price.
KIETH – :
This smells very nice, great for casual. I bought this as a blind buy, but I can’t wear this as often, as the synthetic gives me a headache.
Mifywitiext – :
Davvero dozzinale. Sembra uno di quei profumi per macchina che si attaccano sull’aria condizionata.
La vaniglia che “dovrebbe” sentirsi in realtà è sepolta da altre note ingombranti, che non comunicano dolcezza ma pesantezza.
Le altre note sono confuse e pastrocchiate, mi dispiace ma se il naso Claude Dir fa per lo più fragranze di pop star o di attori che non hanno nulla a che fare con la profumeria storica, un motivo c’è.
DiMaMiz – :
As i heard many good reviews about this frag.. So i blind bought this..
For me, it is not a good fragrance.. I don’t know why, but i got a cheapy vibe from this one..
It is not bad also.. So it’s just an ok frag.. Gonna be dusty in my shelves..
DezZ – :
I heard good things about LPH, so I tried it on my wrist at a perfume store. Wow, that went bad. I’m pretty happy that so many frags work on me, it is pretty rare that something doesn’t, so it really stands out when something goes bad. Plus, I live in a warm, humid climate, and that doesn’t seem to be what a lot of reviewers here think is the ideal place for LPH.
I’m going with the reviewers who say this is more of a winter frag, since I can’t see this happening in hot weather. Lacoste Pour Homme was confusingly bad on me. It smelled almost like someone got a lunch meal to go from a deli and there was a meaty sandwich with condiments and sides in a bag emanating from my wrist. Sad, because I had hopes for LPH. If for some reason I moved someplace with a winter, I might try it again. If this works for some people on hot, humid spring and summer days, more power to them. I would caution against someone blind buying this one though. In my limited experience, you really have to careful about any frag with strong vanilla in hot environments.
valdis33 – :
Absolutely Amazing!
The Best by Lacoste in my opinion.
The mix of Vanilla and Rum is kinda Awesome. I got few but not many compliments wearing it.
One day i was in class and sat beside a girl, and she was like coming closer to me every second and i was like thinking whats wrong with her and then she confessed that she really likes the way i smell and asked the perfume i was wearing.
I say the name and she replies – “It’s Sexy!”.
BUT i don’t really got a good longevity in summer days nor a good sillage.
So i guess its a Winter Fragrance afterall.
So, My ratings –
Sillage – 7/10 (Winter) and 5/10 (Summer)
Longevity – 7/10 (Winter) and 2.5/10 (Summer)
Scent – 9/10
Overall – 8/10
^ the ratings are what it is on my skin, it may differ in ur skin. I got a dry skin.

You wanna enjoy this fragrance ? do yourselves a favor and follow the below 3 tips:
1- DO NOT USE it in hot weather
2- Ignore the very sweet opening and wait till it drys down
3- Do not over spray
I purchased Lacoste pour homme after i smelled it once on somebody, i though it can have a place in my collection (i love Boss bottled for example).
When i got it one month ago i tried it immediately… it was a bad experience, the heat with the sweetness didn’t work right at all
Today as i noticed the cool fall weather outside my window, i decided to give it another chance.
The opening was too sweet for me..i thought i made a mistake that will bother me all day (had no time to have a second shower)
As i got out to work, it started to dry down and give me these pulses of dry sweet almost white chocolaty vibes…oh my god ….much much much better than i expected
it’s a real pleasant feeling that it gives… now am sitting in my office completely relaxed overwhelming with the very smooth and sweet spice/vanilla/apple atmosphere …..
so for all those people who hated Lacoste pour homme from the first sniff, please don’t repeat my mistake…follow the first 3 tips and be surprised of how wonderful journey it can take you

يادم مياد كه سالهاى ٢٠٠٤ و ٢٠٠٥ از اين عطر استفاده ميكردم. رايحه اوليه بمانند انفجار بوهاى مركبات و ادويه هاى تند بود. خيلي قوى و انرژتيك. رايحه ثانويه شيرين و دوست داشتني. رايحه آن كاملا متمايز و قابل تشخيص ميان رايحه هاى مختلفه. عطر سرزنده و جوان پسنديه. بطرى زيبايي داره؛ ساده و دوست داشتنى. دوست دارم دوباره اين بوي خوب و خاطره انگيز رو به كلكسيونم اضافه كنم
Super energetic & elegant. Sweet & spicy. I like the scent & bottle very much. Resemble a young tennis champion.
My rating is 8/10
blagger13 – :
My fiance wears this, and goodness! It smells so good on him. It’s so spicy and really sexy!! With just a few pumps onto his skin the cologne lasts ALL DAY! The opening is a spicy citrus rum wave, it is sweet, but the fruit notes dont kick in until the dry down, which is really nice. The vanilla is very faint but it is still there. I don’t know~! I can just imagine opening a rum bottle and pouring a glass of it. To others it’s not a “WOW” fragrance, but this is a great everyday scent and would be wonderful for the fall/winter days and or night since it is spicy and a bit on the strong side, in my opinion. It’s also really good for the office; it’s not too offensive but just light and polite…??? Hahaa
rnlargslk4 – :
I don’t know what to say about this one… I bought it because someone told me they liked it in their teenage years. I was pretty disappointed with it. It only smells sweet, i can barely recognize anything in it… it’s just isn’t mine.

I was in an airport and had little time to shop. I quickly tried some perfumes and disliked all of them. I was in a hurry, no time to test anymore, so bought LPH blindly. When I got home and applied in the arm … WOW! Delicious. Sweet but not cloying. Masculine, stylish and very versatile. Reminds me of Ferrari Black, but smells much better, less “dark” and has great longevity.

I can smell the boozy note of rum combined with the sweetness of plum very well in this fragrance. The spicy notes kick really soon right after then the cologne settles for a lemon-ish citrus notes with sandalwood and a vanilla dominant note from here to drydown. Yes! at some point, it does smell like Boss Bottled but I find this one more interesting. Boss Bottled is more linear fragrance, not too much change between notes and kind of boring at some time. The notes in Lacoste Pour Homme come into play a lot better IMO.
This fragrance is not bad at all. My 12 year old nephew saw it in my collection and fell in love with it, now he wants to take it away from me 🙂
This one is perfect for school, the office and casual use. It is not bad for a date either, just not too formal. This one is very versatile, smells delicious and fits any age group.

Okay, when my lovely boyfriend told me that his uncle gave him this perfume as a present and that he absolutely loves it, of course that first thing I did was searching it in the Fragrantica database. And I was surprised, ’cause vanilla and rum are not something you would expect an basketball player to wear, especially because so far he used to stick to those strong, really masculine scents. You know, woods, musk, and all that stuff.
But when I actually smelled it… I don’t even have words to describe it. This is what a male perfume is supposed to smell like! Sweet, but still mature, soft, but still irresistible. I couldn’t stop myself from smelling my boy! 🙂 Even the people we saw that night later questioned me about the ‘great perfume
