Eau de Lacoste Sensuelle Lacoste 2014

My friend had been urging me for a long time to finally buy this fragrance. Every time we went to test perfumes and then blindly tested the strips, he was enchanted by the little potion that is housed in the cute dark purple bottle with the beige rope tie.

After probably a year of testing and deliberating, I finally bought it. By now, I also find it very beautiful and especially enjoy wearing it when the occasion calls for something a bit more festive and elegant. This fragrance feels particularly at home with a little black dress or during a night out at the club.

Despite its good composition, it unfortunately cannot completely hide its origins. A trained nose can already sense its price and the quality of the ingredients. Nevertheless, it plays in the upper league among its counterparts.

Consistently present and truly unmistakable is the black currant. It accompanies the entire fragrance and gives it its character. What I also believe I can detect is a kind of orange blossom, which I actually know from Armani Code. It adds a bit of zest and highlights the dark sweetness of the black currant. The fragrance is also somewhat sweet, but I would never have guessed praline here. THANK GOODNESS! Because the combination of praline with black currant already mentally makes me feel quite nauseous, although I must also say that I am absolutely not a chocolate fan when it comes to perfumes. I also cannot detect the rose. I believe that it would have probably made the fragrance feel older. As it is, it feels quite young and is more suitable for those aged 20-35.

The longevity and sillage are unfortunately quite modest. With a longevity of about 4 hours, it falls into the lower range. So it seems that one has to either reapply more often or risk an overdose right from the start.
