Match Point Eau de Parfum, all the vibration of a match point in a Lacoste fragrance. Far more than a simple logo, the Lacoste crocodile is now known to everyone. It is the symbol of one of the most famous houses in France, whose fame took off as early as 1933. Since that day, Lacoste has also been irrevocably linked to the history of tennis.
The Lacoste house has always been deeply linked to the world of tennis. Its success story began in 1933, driven by René Lacoste, its founder and former professional tennis player. Once again, in 2021, the story continues and the omnipresence of tennis can be seen in a new olfactory composition. Match Point Eau de Parfum is an essence that draws inspiration from the athletic world and invites one to live life with intensity, as if every moment were a match point! But how did Lacoste manage to bring this image to life in the form of a men's fragrance? Here is a breakdown of this composition...
Bursting, refreshing top notes
Like many masculine fragrances, Match Point Eau de Parfum by Lacoste opens with lively, fresh top notes. In doing so, it boosts men's daily energy and encourages them to surpass themselves. Moreover, citrus fruits are widely used in fragrance compositions, since these raw materials evoke, in a single breath, the eaux de Cologne of the past. For a very long time, this was the only way men had of wearing scent. In the collective unconscious, it is therefore a comforting and essential smell. In Match Point Eau de Parfum, this freshness is brought by a duo of lemon and grapefruit. The bitterness of these citrus fruits is nonetheless balanced by the presence of a few spices, and more precisely by the addition of pink pepper.
The aromatic heart of Match Point Eau de Parfum
This fresh, spicy character is also present in the heart of Match Point Eau de Parfum by Lacoste. Indeed, it contains cardamom, a cool spice. To this is added the timeless aromatic lavender. Mediterranean and lightly floral, this note is very present in masculine fragrances. For Match Point Eau de Parfum, Lacoste chose to pair it with gentian absolute. This lovely mountain flower is characteristic in itself of the French alpine pastures. Its rather rare note is appreciated for its many facets, between freshness and bitterness.
The comfort of a woody base signed Lacoste
Finally, in its final breath, Match Point Eau de Parfum by Lacoste balances this fresh energy with a more woody, comforting presence. Here, patchouli, dry and lingering, is softened by cypriol and cashmeran, which are rounder. The result is a powerful fragrance, suggesting the strength of a match point. Match Point Eau de Parfum by Lacoste is a generous and original blend, perfectly balanced, moving from bursting, lively top notes to a much more subtle and soothing base.
