Touch of Pink Lacoste 2004 Eau de Toilette

Today I received a fragrance sample of "Touch of Pink," which I immediately tested extensively.

The scent starts off fresh, fruity, and citrusy; the blood orange is quite noticeable. Shortly after, I also detect the "wet wipes" note described further down. I'm sorry, but it's definitely there for me, and yes, it does smell a bit cheap - but it fades away fairly quickly. The citrus note then takes a back seat, making way for something sweet and floral. In the base note, vanilla joins in and gives the fragrance a pleasantly warm touch. I find the base very nice and cohesive. It's not a scent that says much, but at least you can't go too wrong with it. It has a bit of everything: a little fruity-fresh here, a little floral-sweet there, underlined by a light, very lovely spice. I don't find it boring at all; it has too many facets for that. I perceive the scent as well-groomed, modern, and quite stylish. In my opinion, it fits well for daytime, for work and leisure, and is more suited for younger women. "Touch of Pink" is more suitable for warm days.

My conclusion: I would give the base, which I really quite like, at least 60-70%, but for the price, it's just a bit too little for me. For the same money, you can get better options, and for less money, equivalent ones. I wouldn't buy the fragrance due to the poor price-performance ratio, but if I were to receive it as a gift, I would certainly enjoy using it from time to time.
