Land (1991)
by Lacoste

I love Lacoste Land: To my nose, its opening, has a beautifully defined niche quality. The opening aromatics, where the Artemisia or the galbanum (more likely the galbanum) provides a strong fresh and dry presence along with the citrus elements, is transparently gorgeous. It is an exceptional accord — it has me sniffing for as long as it lasts. The middle accord is not quite as compelling as the opening, but it is a solid floral / spice accord which retains its aromatic qualities with its judicial use of pepper and juniper. To my nose, the middle floral is essentially rose and the dominant spice is a mild, gentle nutmeg. The important thing about the heart notes is that it holds steadily to the wonderfully delicate aromatic qualities established in the opening. The dry down is rich, masculine, solid, and very comfortable to wear, with enough sage to continue the aromatic quality of the scent. This is a great scent, but it has a down side — it does not have enough longevity. In all, I find this is an intriguing scent well worth my purchasing. Too bad it is almost impossible to find.

An unforgettable fragrance cant find it anywhere these days. A complex creation, very potent, long lasting frag much appreciated reminds me of Giorgio Armani Pour Homme.

Dissapointing early nineties launch that didn't stay in production that long. Reminds of Hugo Boss Elements, both in concept and actual smell. Grab the terrific Booster from the same company instead!
