The patented Time-Release Technology in Lacoste Essential cologne results in the slow release of fresh, energetic top notes of tangerine, bergamot, tomato leaves, and cassis. This energetic burst will be experienced throughout the length of the day, in combination with woody base notes of patchouli and sandalwood that produce a totally unique fragrance experience. The fragrance is "reanimated" as your body heat rises during sports, walking, or simply rubbing the skin. Notes include Tangerine, Bergamot, Tomato Leaves, Cassis, Black Pepper, Rose, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Wood Accord.
