Match Point Eau De Parfum
by Lacoste Fragrances
Match Point Eau de Parfum offers a crisp, green-tinged opening with black pepper, citrus, and cardamom that feels fresh and slightly herbaceous, evoking a clean athletic ambiance. The heart reveals a balanced patchouli and vetiver base with earthy, moldy depth, laced with subtle warmth and gentian, creating a faintly medicinal yet soothing undertone. It projects a moderate sillage, with longevity unevenly spread—some find it lasting 8 to 10 hours, while others report fading after just 5 hours, suggesting significant variation by skin chemistry. The scent resonates well as a versatile, unisex option, particularly during warmer months like spring and summer, and appeals to those who appreciate a fresh, grounded patchouli without heavy sweetness or pretension.
