Lacoste Pour Femme Clones

"### First Impressions & Dry Down Coastal Pour Femme aims for Lacoste Pour Femme, and gets respectably close. The peppery freesia opening is there, though it's a touch sharper, a bit more synthetic than Lacoste’s smoother blend. The apple note is dialed down considerably. The heart leans heavily into the powdery heliotrope and violet, giving it a makeup-y vibe. It’s nice, but not quite as balanced as the jasmine in the original. The drydown is where it really differs. Instead of a creamy, soft suede, Coastal Pour Femme offers a more incense-heavy base. It adds a slight spice that wasn't there before. I'd say it captures around 91% of the original's DNA. ### To Buy or Not to Buy? Coastal Pour Femme is a solid option if you enjoy the vibe of Lacoste Pour Femme but don't want to shell out big bucks. The incense in the drydown adds a twist. If you want a daily-wear, easy-reach scent, this is a fantastic value. If you are super sensitive to synthetic notes, sample first. But if you're a bargain hunter like me, it's worth a shot. ### How Long Does it Last? Longevity is surprisingly decent. I get around 5-6 hours on my skin. Projection is moderate for the first hour, then it settles into a skin scent. Don't expect this to fill a room. It's more of an intimate fragrance."
