Lacoste

About Lacoste

Lacoste is a French fashion house founded in 1933 by tennis player René Lacoste and André Gillier. Its crocodile emblem and petit piqué polo shirt connect freedom of movement with elegance. Fragrances carry that relationship into fresher, relaxed compositions that can accompany everyday clothes and occasions.

History

The polo shirt developed from ideas on the tennis court became the starting point for a broader range of clothing and accessories. In 1968, Lacoste introduced its first Eau de Toilette through a collaboration with Jean Patou. From 2024, Interparfums took responsibility for worldwide fragrance development, production and distribution, adding new fragrances to the collection.

Philosophy & Signature Style

The freedom associated with sportswear finds an olfactory counterpart in perfumes that feel relaxed and easy to include in daily life. Citrus and herbs offer brighter contours, flowers and musk bring softer textures, and woods provide quieter depth. These elements take different forms across the collection. The polo-inspired L.12.12 series and the silver bottles recalling René Lacoste's invention of a metal tennis racket connect fragrance design to the house's history of clothes and sporting equipment.

Iconic Fragrances

L.12.12 Blanc explores the freshness associated with a white polo shirt through woods and flowers. Touch of Pink joins blood orange and jasmine to sandalwood. Original connects citrus and spice with an aromatic heart and a warmer woody foundation, giving the house another expression of its sporting elegance.
