Lacoste L12 L12 Blanc White (M) 75 ml Deo Stiick White 75ml

OverviewLacoste is a French fashion house that sells clothing, footwear, watches, and perfume. The company was founded in 1933 by Rene Lacoste and Andre Gillier. They are most famous for their signature tennis wear—polo shirts featuring the company's green crocodile logo. Originally produced only in "tennis white," the company began offering this garment in 1952. The Lacoste tennis shirt was a staple of the early 1980s "preppy" clothing trend and continues to be a best-seller today. The garment is endorsed by notable tennis champions such as Andy Roddick. Lacoste began offering shoes, watches, sunglasses and fragrances in the 1980s. Lacoste for Men was the first fragrance, launching in 1984. A series of fragrances for men and women have since been launched, many with a sporty theme and adorned with the crocodile logo. Lacoste offers fragrances in conjunction with Procter & Gamble. In 1926, this always-stylish sportsman asked his friend Robert George to design a crocodile emblem for a white blazer – the first sighting of that now-famous logo. That year, Lacoste became World No. 1 tennis player, after winning the singles and doubles at the French Open and Wimbledon, and scooping the US Open singles title. He also pioneered the wearing of a short-sleeved shirt, inspired by polo players, which made for much greater freedom of movement – the forerunner of the tennis-wear we see on court today. In 1933, Lacoste launched his first campaign for the polo shirt – now emblazoned with the crocodile emblem. And the rest is sportswear history. Today, Lacoste sponsors leading athletes across the worlds of tennis and golf – and the brand’s in-house designer, Portuguese-born Felipe Oliveira Baptista, has sky-rocketed the popularity Lacoste by constantly reinventing and reinterpreting the essential elements of this iconic house for a new generation. (The Lacoste Facebook page has approaching 20 million followers, and counting…). But of course, the playful, sensual spirit of this enduring legend is also perfectly captured in fragrances – for both men and women. Eau de Lacoste, for instance, evokes the feeling of white cotton on skin. It’s fresh and elegant, perfect for the modern and confident Lacoste woman. Built on a classical structure, the fragrance opens with citrus top notes of juicy white pineapple, woven with a pure white floral heart, and with sensual sandalwood and vanilla at its base. To quote Lacoste: ‘This scent completes the look for the feminine party-goer, who is elegant and chic – but her smile reveals a playful twist…’ Its perfect counterpoint is Eau de Lacoste Sensuelle, which ‘accentuates an elegant but casual appearance, with a soft twist that is reminiscent of a joyful evening.’ Beginning with the refreshment of an evening breeze, the fragrance opens with sparkling, vibrant pink pepper and contrasting tart blackcurrant.
