Lacoste perfumes are produced by the company founded by Rene Lacoste, a renowned French tennis player from the 1920s. Lacoste actually created his own tennis shirt that differed radically from other tennis shirts at the time with its short sleeves & light material, and he wore it during the 1926 U.S. Open (which he won).

The crocodile logo on Lacoste shirts came about as the result of his American nickname “The Alligator”, which in French ended up being le crocodile. After retiring from tennis, Lacoste founded his company in 1933, along with Andre Gillier. The company started out producing tennis shirts and other sports shirts, but eventually branched out into shoes and other items, including Lacoste perfume of course.

No Rackets Necessary

You certainly don’t need to be a tennis player to enjoy Lacoste perfume, and women will no doubt enjoy the scent of Lacoste Inspiration perfume. This perfume by Lacoste comes in an nice floral scent with a mixture of notes such as sandalwood, jasmine, tuberose, and vanilla. A 2.5-ounce Inspiration Eau de Parfum Spray retails for an average of $65.

Men can experience Lacoste fragrances with products from the Lacoste Essential Collection, which includes products such as the Lacoste Essential Eau de Toilette Spray ($62 for 4.2 ounces) or the Lacoste Essential Deodorant Stick at $18 for 2.4 ounces. As would be expected, these Lacoste items come branded with the famous crocodile logo.

A nice scent for men to try is Cool Play by Lacoste for Men, and a 4.2-ounce Eau de Toilette Spray was available for as low as $51.50 at one website. It has notes like juniper, coriander leaf, and even birch leaf for a very refreshing (and cool of course), masculine fragrance.

If the man in your life is a sportsman, consider giving him a special present for a birthday or special occasions that includes several items like a Lacoste shirt, sporting gear, and a Lacoste fragrance just for him! You could give your golf-loving dad a Lacoste golf shirt, cologne like Cool Play, and that special putter he’s always wanted for example.

From the unlikeliest of beginnings with a tennis player and the shirt he made, the Lacoste brand is still popular in sportswear today. Although you might not want to douse yourself with perfume on the tennis court, you can’t lose if you wear it off the court! So try some Lacoste perfume today.
