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: more piquant 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 mown 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, slightly lemony tonic, like a sip of ginger ale after exertion.
Heart notes: green-smoky aroma of the mid-match
• Lavender absolute – overdosed aromatic heart, powdery-clean.
• Resinous incense – dark density that contrasts with the lavender.
• Violet leaf – a woody-green nuance linking lavender and patchouli.
Base notes: long-lasting woody-amber finish
• Indonesian patchouli – dry woody fraction, stripped of earthiness.
• Tonka bean – almond-vanilla, a cozy clubhouse echo.
• Amber Xtreme™ – ultra-diffusive amber molecule, ensuring eight hours of sillage.
Pierre Guéros: boosting the fougère without distorting it
The perfumer keeps the 1984 fougère structure, replaces oakmoss with a modernized incense-patchouli accord, overdoses Amber Xtreme™ and polishes the whole with clean musks to ensure a fully urban drydown. The hot-cold duality becomes key: icy ginger against burning amber, clear lavender against dark incense. On skin, the development unfolds in three distinct sets: a zesty-ginger opening, a sophisticated herbal-smoky heart, and a velvety amber finale.
A high-performance yet responsible composition
89% natural-origin ingredients; low-carbon European beet alcohol; sustainably sourced patchouli from Sumatra; bergamot from a fair-trade program in Calabria. No dye is added: the pale green hue comes naturally from the lavender absolute.
Projection, longevity & usage tips
Projection: a halo of about 1.2 m for 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 on pulse points.
Why this composition marks an olfactory “grand slam”
Lacoste Original Parfum combines the sporty drive of the historic fougère with modern amber power. Between the citrus-spice opening flash, the lavender-incense rally and the tonka-amber match point, the juice unfolds a match of 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.
