About This Perfume
Lacoste Booster comes across as cool grapefruit zest with minty, green pine. It opens with mint, eucalyptus and grapefruit, moves into chili, galbanum and nutmeg and settles on cedar, vetiver and sandalwood. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring and summer and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for casual days. Released in 1996.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
