We’ll be honest, Lacoste isn’t the first brand we think of when of feminine fragrances. Eau de Lacoste Sensuelle – even the name rolls off the tongue like gourmet butter – might change all of that.
For starters, the Lacoste crocodile has been luxed up in a metallic rose gold hue, and sits prettily on the rounded curves of the receptacle. Drenched in a saturated blue that calls to mind a night vista, the flacon is topped off with a bevelled cap that cleverly references the tightly woven pique pattern of the instantly recognisable Lacoste polo tee.
As for the scent itself, top nose Aveen Mallak has conjured up an intoxicating swirl of tart berries cut through with piquant pink peppers. Nestled within the fruity notes is a flirty, floral heart of Turkish rose and gladioli blossoms, which segues into a simmering base of sexy chocolate nougatine and amber – making you smell like a sophisticated garden party dessert!
Lacoste Eau de Lacoste Sensuelle is available from February 2014 as an Eau de Parfum in 30 ml ($72), 50 ml ($103) and 90 ml ($139). For more information, visit www.lacoste-parfums.com.
