Touch of Pink is the women’s eau de toilette Lacoste launched in 2004, under license to Procter & Gamble. Blood orange, coriander and cardamom in the top, jasmine, violet and carrot seed at the heart, sandalwood, musk and vanilla in the base make up a fresh, cheerful fragrance, in a pink bottle nipped in like a waist.

Lacoste built Touch of Pink in three tiers: blood orange, coriander and cardamom in the top, jasmine, violet and carrot seed oil at the heart, sandalwood, musk and vanilla in the base. The brand’s current presentation highlights blood orange, jasmine and sandalwood.

Blood orange and spices

Blood orange, luminous according to the brand, opens the fragrance with two fresh spices, coriander and cardamom. The Sniff Test adds orange and peach, and finds this opening sunny.

Jasmine, violet and carrot

The heart pairs jasmine, which the brand calls feminine, with violet and carrot seed oil, a material both earthy and slightly fruity, with hints of iris.

The base

Sandalwood, musk and vanilla make up the base, in which the brand praises the sandalwood and its addictive trail. The Sniff Test enjoys this soft vanilla and musk base, but finds the whole thin and at times synthetic.
