First of all... no matter how bad or boring the majority of Lacoste fragrances are (and let's face it they are!) I'm always keen to try anything from them just on the strength of eau de Lacoste Blanc which I love with everything I got! Now personally where the bottle is concerned, it's not bad but I'm not crazy about the presentation. What I do like is the shape of the bottle, it's a squat lil cube like Encre Noire or something? Seems like an obvious choice to make a cube but not many others copy that format. Another small criticism was my first impression of the sprayer was not good it squirted out a feeble jet rather than a mist, which also soaked my trigger finger. Anyway the juice is the important thing, so what is live like? Well unfortunately it falls victim to crowd pleasing and in epic proportions. The opening citrus makes way for a predictable but not unpleasant scent which seems very much like other sports fodder. It's kinda green but not natural at all and woody I suppose but I really don't get the typical signature of guaiac wood nor did I really get any liquorice. I may have to try this again you know because there's some interesting ingredients which seem to have been blended out of all recognition into a generic mess. Not bad, not good either and the longevity was poor on my skin.
