Lacoste Original Parfum Fact Sheet — The crocodile goes concentrated: sport-chic energy at 25% Forty years after the launch of the very first Lacoste juice, the house unveils Lacoste Original Parfum, a 2025 novelty and the most intense version ever offered. Formulated at 25% aromatic essence, this concentrate reinterprets the emblematic woody fougère by pushing every facet to its peak: spicier ginger-cardamom, smokier lavender-incense, more enveloping tonka-patchouli. Conceived as the pivotal moment when match adrenaline gives way to the elegance of the private locker room, it celebrates the house mantra: Play Hard, Stay Original.
Lacoste Original Parfum — Detailed Composition
A spicy fougère boosted with woody amber
With its 25% concentration, Lacoste Original Parfum pushes the crocodile’s sport-chic signature to its peak: a citrus-spice kickoff as sharp as a winning serve, a lavender-incense heart recalling a freshly mowed court, then a tonka-patchouli base saturated with Amber Xtreme™ for extended nighttime longevity.
Note pyramid
Top notes: instant energy
• Italian bergamot — zesty, honeyed freshness.
• Cardamom — a menthol-lemon brightness that energizes the opening.
• CO₂ ginger — crisp tonic, slightly lemony, like a sip of ginger ale after exercise.
Heart notes: the green-smoky aroma of the “mid-match”
• Lavender absolute — overdosed aromatic heart, powdery-clean.
• Resinous incense — dark density that contrasts the lavender.
• Violet leaf — a woody-green nuance linking lavender and patchouli.
Base notes: long-lasting woody-amber finish
• Indonesian patchouli — a dry, de-earthed woody fraction.
• Tonka bean — almond-vanilla, a cozy “clubhouse” echo.
• Amber Xtreme™ — an ultra-diffusive amber molecule ensuring eight hours of sillage.
Pierre Guéros: boosting the fougère without distorting it
The perfumer keeps the fougère backbone from 1984, replaces oakmoss with a modernized incense-patchouli accord, overdoses Amber Xtreme™ and polishes the whole with clean musks to ensure a fully urban dry-down. The hot-cold duality becomes the key: icy ginger against burning amber, bright lavender against dark incense. On skin, the development unfolds like three distinct sets: a zesty-ginger opening, a sophisticated smoky-herbal heart, a velvety amber finale.
A high-performance yet responsible composition
89% ingredients of natural origin; low-carbon European beet alcohol; sustainably sourced patchouli from Sumatra; bergamot from a fair-trade supply program in Calabria. No dye is added: the pale green tint comes naturally from the lavender absolute.
Projection, longevity & usage tips
Projection: a halo of about 1.2 m during the first two hours, then a bubble close to the body.
Longevity: eight to ten hours on skin, up to twelve on technical fabric.
Layering: to enhance the freshness, spray a bergamot-mint splash beforehand; to accentuate the nighttime depth, apply a micro-drop of patchouli oil to the pulse points.
Why this composition marks an olfactory “grand slam”
Lacoste Original Parfum combines the athletic momentum of the historic fougère with modern ambery power. Between the citrus-spice opening flash, the lavender-incense rally and the tonka-amber match point, the juice unfolds a match in three winning sets — all backed by a solid sustainable approach. A fragrance for those who want to combine competitive freshness with sophisticated sillage, from dawn to the nighttime tiebreak.
