The Match Point range is inspired by tennis - which is very appropriate for this brand as its founder Rene Lacoste was the world's best tennis player in 1926-27. A story about his captain having promised to buy him a crocodile leather suitcase in 1923 if he won his next match was taken up by the press. Though he lost, they nicknamed him 'The Crocodile' and Rene had a crocodile sewn on the white jacket he wore when he entered the tennis court - which is to this day the Lacoste logo. Lacoste was the first ever brand to feature a logo on its clothing following its launch in 1933 when it brought out a flexible, lightweight pique polo shirt. In the 1960s Lacoste expanded into perfumery and the logo features on this 50ml eau de parfum - which shouldn't be mistaken for the more affordable, lighter eau de toilette. The bottle is a perfect marriage of brand and concept. It's inspired by tennis - and indeed would be perfect for men who love the game - with its top a spin on a racquet handle and the concave base of the bottle representing the strike of the ball. The fragrance here is aromatic, woody and fresh - with a hint of citrus. But the patchouli heart note gives it a sensual finish. It is longer lasting than the eau de toilette and has greater depth. Though this has some of the characteristics of a contemporary fragrance and I tend to prefer more vintage scents, I actually like this and feel it would be appropriate for both younger as well as more mature men, whether they're sports fans or not. The price is what I'd expect for a good quality eau de parfum. This scent was only launched this month so it is very current. I like the depth of fragrance and the fact that it's reasonably long lasting. I also like its subtle and sexy masculinity. Worth trying if you're looking for a new, contemporary fragrance. Read more
