oh god everytime i walk into foley's and just happen to wearing a lacoste polo the same loacoste rep comes up to me and pushes this stuff in my face.

yes they are the same thing. i think people just say red because it really doesnt say 'style in play' on the bottle.

its nice and pleasant with a nice essence of sweet apples with a masculine cedar note in the back. after about 30 minutes though the apple fades away and all you get is cheap sweet cedar smell. if i had money to blow, i'd get it for something to just throw on when i'm wearing sweats to class.

Smells like a red apple...............with a hint of Dunhill Desire!

I have it. Mic pretty much has it right in that it smells like apples, a more youthful version of Dunhill Desire. Good as a very casual, everyday scent..

Its nasty,synthetic,cheap smelling garbage - but, thats just my opinion. I would choose Joop before ever wearing this crap......if i HAD to pick one or the other!!!!

Crap! With a capital C.

This is just one of the worst put together scents making a comparison to Desire is an insulate to Dunhill.

If you want a nice scent with apple that is not cloying synthetic like this one try Be Delicious DKNY its not great but its better then Style in Play.

After smelling a sample last year in summer, I was so much in love - I had to buy it! There's no better Lacoste IMO.
I seldom reach for it nowadays, but hey - it's wintertime here.

Definitely a summer frag.

I shouldn«t like it but fact is I use it quite often. It«s very harmless, safe etc but nice as well IMO. There is a bitterness in the base that is quite unusual for this type of scent, that I like. Also the white musk basenote sticks around forever on my skin, much better longevity than I expected from something like this.
