Lacoste Red Lacoste 2004 Eau de Toilette

Typical Lacoste: sweet, not bad at all, young, spontaneous, fruity, suitable for going out, fun, flirty --> a likable party apple without pressure. Perfect for having fun at cocktail parties. Or also for teenage/kids' birthdays, as it comes across as extremely fruity and naive. Definitely wearable by women.

The red apple is dominant and very juicy and fruity. It then transitions through a muted patchouli cloud into a cedar finish. Initially sweet and cheerful, just like it is at cocktail parties. But then the energy quickly fades, and the solid, woody dry-down reliably brings you home, as it has avoided alcohol. A good friend who, despite its youthful impulsiveness, has a solid, likable base. Reminds a bit of Boss Bottled for leisure or in a younger version!

The bottle is very round and handy, allowing for precise aiming and spraying. The sillage is quite strong due to the sweetness, but once that fades, it becomes rather shallow. One shouldn't party too long; you can't rely on Red for more than 6 hours.

A solid fun scent for the young crowd without worries and, unfortunately, also without depth!
