“Sensual” is not what comes to mind when I think of Lacoste, but luckily, this is a flanker to the original Lacoste scent, and I suppose on occasion and for a limited time, sporty tennis wear may be sensual.
Eau de Lacoste Sensuelle is a peppery spicy yet slightly sweet blend that’s strong and feminine. The top notes are Pink Pepper and Blackcurrant, the middle note is mostly rosy, and the base notes are of nougatine and amber. The blackcurrant makes the top note slightly sweet, while the nougatine and amber make the base of the fragrance more sweet.
The entire blend is interesting (even though it’s not very original) and I can’t help but get a sense of deja vu when I smell this scent. I feel like I’ve smelled it before.
The bottle is amazingly pretty. Strong, dark, and heavy-looking, the textured lid reminds you of a tennis racket, but the gold chain around it keeps it feminine and trendy.
EAU DE LACOSTE SENSUELLE is available now at Shoppers Drug Mart and will have wider
distribution in May 2014 at Sears, Jean Coutu and London Drugs.
