Lacoste Original is the outlier in this list: a parfum rather than a fresh eau de toilette. Perfumania lists cardamom, ginger and bergamot on top, incense, lavender and violet in the heart and patchouli, tonka bean and amber in the base. The citrus and ginger opening keeps a link to the fresh Lacoste style, but the incense and amber base makes it the warmest and most evening-focused option here. It costs $79.95 for 3.4 oz, down from $109.00, or about $23.51 per ounce, which makes it the most expensive bottle in this list. The listing showed no reviews at our check. It ranks last for sporty shoppers because it is the least suited to the gym, hot days or casual daytime wear, but it is the right pick for men who already own L.12.12 Blanc and want a stronger date-night scent from the same brand. We compared published notes, sizes and prices and did not wear-test any fragrance.
