    Essential Sport: Because Essential wasn’t sporty enough?

      It’s hard to imagine it any sportier, but they did add “green splash accord” so hey…

    The color of that Aftelier is both amazing and kind of scary. But I love very green scents so it’s worth checking out.

      I love green bottles, green liquid–whatever. If it’s green, I’m in.

    I can see the future and … it’s green, and probably pine-scented.

      I hate to be a dope, but what the heck is kitesurfing (other than a means to get a killer body)?

    If it gets you that body, then we all should be kitesurfing!
    Shame that we have to work for a living ;-) if not, then I would be excercising all day long X-D

        Yeah, when I was unemployed years ago I thought it would be my chance to work out like I’ve never worked out before. In a sense I did. I don’t think I’ve ever been so lazy in all my life. I did a lot of channel surfing, though. That counts, right?

    Trevert: I actually think that bottle is… really *pretty.* And the name’s clever too. Wonder if the green juice would stain a white shirt? Pine is very Not Me – but you do hear good things about the Aftelier line.

      It is pretty…great label. They did their fig in EdP too, in the same bottle.

    Going off to Google “leafy flouve absolute.” Love that Aftelier label.

        Flouve Absolute is extracted from the dried flowering tops of the perennial grass, Anthoxanthum odoratum. Main production occurs in France.

        The absolute is a viscous, greenish-amber to brownish-yellow liquid, have a sweet, herbaceous, tobacco-like and coumarinic odor. The odor is so rich and so complex that one can keep on finding notes in it. However, the overall fragrance is sweet, licorice-like, root-like, somewhat mossy-herbaceous like wet underforest and meadows, of exceptional tenacity and high penetrating power.

        The absolute is used in chypre, fougere, pine, oriental bases and in traces as a sweetener for dry-woody notes. Finds use in recreating the aromas of American Indian smudge wands in combination with juniper berry, sage and cedar. Flouve is related to the sweet grass that is plays such an important role in Native American sacred tradition.

    urg, Lacoste fragrances always remind me of new money that doesn’t have a clue about what’s good out there. Their fragrances lack in sustaining my interest…

      Interesting, I don’t think they remind me of any money at all, new or old!

    Well… This hasn´t happened to me in a while…
    Something in Lacoste Essential Sport goes awfully wrong with my body chemistry… I sprayed it 20 minutes ago on paper and on the back of my hand and now the paper is still an average snappy citrus aquatic, but on my hand it is “Eau de Gas Leak” It smells like my granma’s summer house kitchen after a year of being completely locked. Well, at least Style in play still works for me :-)
