Lacoste launches new version of 1984 scent
LACOSTE and global fragrance company Interparfums present its latest creation, Lacoste Original Eau de Parfum, marking the first collaboration between the two companies. With the 1984 Lacoste Original celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, master perfumer Anne Flipo and perfumer Tanguy Guesnet were inspired to create a modern and addictive scent while highlighting the brand’s emblematic codes and distinctive signature. This resulted in a modern and dynamic woody, ambery, fougère eau de parfum. Ms. Flipo said in a statement, “As a brand, Lacoste combines timeless freshness with creative frenzy. The idea behind this sophisticated fragrance is to express movement in all its forms in a unique, powerful creation.” The perfumers worked on citrusy and spicy scents using bergamot, cardamom, and pink peppercorn as the top notes to convey motion. This mixture gives way to an aromatic fougère heart of clary sage and lavender, the common element between the 2024 and 1984 editions. The heart trails off to a base of tonka bean and sandalwood, while amber and patchouli reinforce the masculine side of the fragrance. Pierre Niney, a French actor, director, producer and screenwriter, is the star of the perfume’s ad campaign. Lacoste Parfums are exclusively distributed by Rustan Marketing Corp. and are available in-store in all leading department stores nationwide; and online at Rustans.com and Zalora.
