Lacoste Essential is a citrus green woody fragrance for men. It launched in 2005 and is still in the line today. This is the 125ml bottle.
How It Smells
The opening is tomato leaves alongside citrus and watery fruity notes, which is the brightest part of the wear and fades within the first half hour. Underneath, black pepper with rose carries the middle, and this is what most people will actually smell on you. What remains at the end of the day is sandalwood over patchouli, closer to the skin and warmer than the opening suggested.

- A citrus green woody that works across everyday wear without demanding attention.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Lacoste Essential original?
Yes. Perfume Philippines has sold 100% original, imported fragrances online since 2012. Every bottle is fresh stock, and cash on delivery is available nationwide.
How long does Lacoste Essential last?
Moderate, around 4 to 6 hours. Spraying onto moisturised skin, and onto your shirt collar as well as your wrists, helps it hold longer in humid weather.
How does Essential compare to Hugo Boss Hugo Man?
Hugo Boss Hugo Man is the closest comparison, another green everyday aromatic. Essential is built on a sandalwood base with tomato leaves up top, so judge them on that: if you want the sandalwood direction, this is the one. Both are stocked here when available, so you can compare prices directly.
