Nice and inoffensive
This is nice for leisure, office and sport. It's uncomplicated, clean, fresh, very easy to like and inoffensive. Very pleasing!
I really like wearing this in Home Office. A nice every day scent in warm seasons – for those days where you don't need to impress anybody.

For me the mandarine is the most present note. Longevity is up to two hours and it sits quite close to the skin. If you want something similar but with a better performance, try the original Lacoste Pour Femme.

The beautiful summer version of Lacoste pour femme!
I already liked Lacoste pour femme very much. Nice and creamy, warming in winter. Sprayed on my scarf, I always felt secure. The ultimate feel-good scent... Only in summer it was too creamy, too warm for me... it just didn’t fit.

When I read that Lacoste would release a fresher version, I was incredibly excited. Finally, a Pour femme that I could wear in summer!

When it became available, a sharing was quickly organized. Because I absolutely had to have it ;)
Then it finally arrived! And yes, the original Pour femme is clearly recognizable. But here it is much fresher, lively, lightly uplifted by fresh notes. Ah, finally... a spring/summer companion. Simply beautiful. The freshness is not like that of a cologne, but very well balanced and already beautifully garnished with musk from the start. Jasmine here is not sweet, but rather very green, with very fine buds that have not yet bloomed. After this fresh start, the spicy sweetness of the original slowly emerges, still accompanied by fine, zesty notes. It never becomes too sweet, is rather close to the skin, before it leaves a slightly woody sweetness on my wrist as a finish.

However, the longevity is not so optimal. On me, it lasts about 4-5 hours; if it lasted longer, that would be great! The sillage is more intimate than expansive, and it could also be a bit stronger, so there are slight deductions. The bottle is milky compared to the old one, and the liquid inside looks brighter, adapted to the scent.

Overall, a very beautiful fragrance, although it certainly still has room for improvement. Otherwise, it would be a wonderful dream scent.

Lucky Charm
The pour femme has long had its place in my collection.

My mom once got the elegant crocodile as a pet - and I welcomed it too.

And then - by happy chance - I won a bottle in the Christmas raffle.
Yesterday, I won 5 euros in the scan game at my perfumery.

What could be more natural than to invest that little sum in my "lucky crocodile" - because the casual scent also appealed to me immediately.

It is indeed a bit more casual than the original pour femme, but not lighter or even more transparent.
A subtle yet full fragrance envelops me - but it is well-mannered, as the crocodile knows how to behave.
The citrus notes, surrounded by a hint of anise, fit into summer - even though casual is not an outright summer scent.
It will also perform well in other seasons with its fine expression.
"Fine" in the sense of balanced exclusivity - not in the sense of "finely made".
The jasmine greets me warmly - framed by delicately spicy cedar.
Sandalwood embraces me creamy, making the crocodile approachable.
Musk adds a smooth sheen - and the longevity is excellent.

This exquisite crocodile is a pleasure to take for a walk.

A lucky find - that brings happiness.

Like it!
I wouldn't have bought this fragrance for myself, and I probably wouldn't have even tested it, as I usually don't have the Lacoste brand on my radar at all. But shortly after Christmas, a package arrived that contained not cheap soap or whatever some spoil-sports had predicted regarding the "giveaway," but 50 ml of "Pour Femme Eau de Parfum Legere" as a gift for me. I was really thrilled. Thanks to Parfumo!!!
The scent starts off very fresh and lemony, but not biting. It remains throughout a wonderfully successful feel-good mix of citrus-floral notes on a light musk-clean base. The fragrance is also slightly creamy, making a woman appear very well-groomed; no one can have anything against this EdP. That's why many call it the "ideal office fragrance."
Exciting or innovative, "Lacoste pour femme EdP legere" is not, but I don't know any other scent that smells so pleasantly average.
A small downside: it fades quite quickly; after three hours, I can hardly notice it anymore.
I haven't worn the regular "Lacoste pour femme" myself yet, so I can't make any comparisons.
Conclusion: A nice surprise from the mainstream segment!

Pour femme, freshly showered
In summer, I quite like fresh scents from time to time. The EdP Legere has already won me over, as it combines citrus-fresh-showered vibes with the DNA of the original, without immediately coming off as one of the countless flankers of other well-known fragrances.

The opening is citrusy, but I can't pinpoint any specific fruits. The citrus note is less like a cleaning product and more like the scent you experience when standing in an orangery. Sparkling and clear at the start, the typical Lacoste Pour Femme DNA then develops through the truly pleasant, bright jasmine. The jasmine in this line is not the "in-your-face" jasmine, like the one found in Mugler, but rather a bright, soft, friendly version. The base consists of Himalayan cedar, sandalwood, and musk. Everything is quite classic and well-balanced. While the original contains freesia, heliotrope, as well as rose and incense, the Legere is lighter, friendlier, and also quieter. I really like the original, but I find this flanker very well done and pleasant.

Especially for summer, I reach for this one gladly. I feel freshly showered, and it reminds me of vacation. I would also wish that it receives more attention, as it is a truly well-made, beautiful (and also affordable) summer fragrance.

A feel-good blend of citrus-floral notes on a light sandalwood-musk base. Well-groomed and uncomplicated.

In the peak of summer, when nothing else works, its mandarin citrus and understated charm make it a great companion.
It’s not overwhelming.

Nice! A well-groomed scent of boredom. No one will be tearing your clothes off with this one! ;-)

In the opening, it's a bit more citrusy than the original, but then the resemblance is undeniable. It lasts surprisingly well for me - office scent!

Beautiful spring/summer scent, unobtrusive, calm, but not necessarily in a bad way - perfect lightness ;o)

I find it more pleasant - it lacked that annoying, sour note. On me, it's not lighter or more fleeting than the original.

The fresh, enveloping aura of the original with the zest of mandarins. After the top note, it resembles its big sister quite a bit!

Somehow it's boring with its citrus notes. Has a slight cleaner vibe. Better to stick with the original Lacoste pour femme.

Citrus top note - true! Similar to the original - a bit! I can't say more, as it was gone 30 minutes later.

A lighter version of the original, with 90s sunscreen vibes. Beautiful, fresh-fruity (even though it's actually floral-fresh).
