Pour Homme Lacoste 2002 Eau de Toilette

Fragrances are anchored in our memory. They live from individual memories. I only realized this again recently when I noticed Pour Homme again in my circle of friends after years. This mainstream representative, which has now been on the market for over 20 years and continues to be sold.

I myself first consciously tested the sweet and fruity composition around 15 years ago. Back then, I hardly knew anything about high-quality accords and harmonious fragrance pyramids. However, it was this first impression that I relied on as a teenager. What exactly did that mean for Pour Homme? It didn't offend and I liked its simplicity. I used it very well.

And 2024? Although the perfume world is constantly reinventing itself and broadening the horizons of perfume lovers, the Lacoste bottle is still one of the "evergreens" in many people's minds. This is because it is not a highly complex masterpiece that is eager to play with countless nuances. Because it impresses with a fairly linear progression ... its mix of fruity sweetness with spicy hints and woody support.

Although there is a fair amount of synthetics in all of this, I don't see it as a problem in this case. Instead, after all these years, I see a fragrance in front of me that is allowed to keep its former place among all the diversity and complexity of other representatives. In daily use at work, on a beach vacation, etc., it cuts a fine figure as usual. The durability and price are also really appropriate for the designer.
