“Essential” by Lacoste Eau de Toilette is a crisp woody-aromatic that opens with tangerine, bergamot, tomato leaf, and cassis, moves into a fresh heart of black pepper and rose, and settles into smooth sandalwood and patchouli. Clean, green, and effortlessly wearable for every day.

Launched in 2005, Essential balances sparkling citrus and leafy notes with spicy florals and comfortable woods—ideal for office, weekend, and warm-weather wear.

Bottle Description: Clear rectangular flacon with the Lacoste crocodile embossed in the glass, brushed-metal atomizer, and a yellow-green tint to the juice—minimal, sporty design.

At Perfumes LA, we recommend it for fans of fresh-green profiles who want a versatile, polished signature that stays easy and modern.
