  |  Okay, so I applied this to my skin, sniffed it, and the smell didn’t even travel from my nose to register in my brain because it is sooooo generically, synthetically, boringly ordinary that my transfer nerves fell asleep. Okay, I’ll spray again and this time I’ll pay attention… Pay atten…… Yawn… ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ………….. 17 October 2008 |
 |  I don't really care for it. For starters I had to apply about 5 sprays before I could even begin to small it, usually with something like Vera Wang, I notice it in a couple of squirts. The top notes are certainly very fresh and clean, and the drys down to something quite nice.. but for some reason I can't get my head around this scent, I think as others have mentioned, it kinda smells like soap. 06 October 2008 |
 | Indeed smells of an androgenous soap... reminds me of a rosy lotion. Something I can definitely do without! 30 September 2008 |

| This is another inoffensive fresh scent that like so many of its brethren fails to leave any lasting mark. There is nothing about this Lacoste creation that is bad per se; it smells fresh, crisp and nice enough. But there is also nothing really that good about it either, and certainly nothing about this makes it essential to one's wardrobe. The citrus topnotes blend with something green and slightly herbaceous before fading away to leave a lightly spiced floral heart. This soon fades into a base of patchouli and sandalwood. The longevity of Essential is about 3 hours and it has a decent projection. 20 September 2008 |

|  Nice stuff. I really can't say more. You know, sometimes it doesn't have to be complicated or dreadfully expensive to smell good. A little over-used, though. 31 August 2008 |
