"Essential" by Lacoste Eau de Toilette is a crisp green–citrus woody-aromatic built around tomato leaf brightness, black pepper lift, and a smooth sandalwood–patchouli dry down.

Tangerine and bergamot meet green blackcurrant leaves (cassis) and signature tomato leaf for a refreshing start. A clean heart of black pepper and rose transitions to a comfortable trail of sandalwood, patchouli, and soft woody notes—ideal for daily wear from office to weekend. (Tester packaging may vary.)

Bottle Description: A clear, softly curved rectangular bottle with an engraved Lacoste crocodile, brushed-metal atomizer, and the line’s characteristic yellow-green juice.

At Perfumes LA, we recommend it for smart-casual settings and warm to mild weather when you want clean, green freshness with a polished woody finish.
