Booster is the cheapest way into a full-size Lacoste bottle and the most literal sporty scent in the lineup. Perfumania lists only four notes: grapefruit on top, mint in the heart and vetiver with white musk in the base, in the Fresh family with an Aromatic Herbs scent type. That short list points to a cool, minty, clean scent that suits gym bags and hot days rather than evenings out. It costs $49.95 for 4.2 oz, down from $74.00, which is about $11.89 per ounce and the lowest in this list. The rating was 5.0 at our check, though from three reviews only. The limits are range and depth: it comes in one size and has fewer notes than L.12.12 Blanc or Essential, so men who want a more layered scent should look up the list. We compared published notes, sizes and prices and did not wear-test any fragrance.
