Thread Starter 
I dont understand the reason of this fragance, totally a disaster, im an open mind and like mainstream or not fragances, but this, is simply awful, just a fruity-light aquatic with nothing to share.. very weak and not personality inside...

i just wanted to share my toughts, anyone tried it yet?

I usually avoid anything with Lacoste in the name, among others.

Well none of the other offerings from Lacoste impressed me, so I didn't expect alot from this frag.

anything lacoste or joop, i usually try to avoid

considering the title already spells "disaster" i doubt i will bother with trying, and i didnt even knew it existed.

my gf got me a bottle of this and I find it decent to be honest. Lacoste is very hit and miss to me and save Essential or Original I'm not a big fan. Challenge does not touch these two names but I find it to be a fine office/summer fragrance.

I sampled this today and I actually REALLY like it. I know it's not unique, but it's right up my alley. It reminds me of Light Blue pour Homme.

I sampled this recently, and it struck me as being a rather tame and tethered version of One Million by Paco Rabanne. It really was everything I imagined it would be, sweet, brief and challenged. Aside from Lacoste Land, I have found very little to enjoy from this brand.

"Challenge" is so incredibly bland in every single aspect.

There is a nice creamy cedar in the long-drydown.... but everything else about it is just plain hideous.

I'm actually a fan of Lacoste. Style in Play is one of my favorite fresh frags. I will try this, but with no high expectations.

I got to sample this yesterday. I is quite a pleasant scent and might work to throw in the gym bag but, the quality is not there and smells underwhelming like a kid's scent. It would be a nice addition in the deodorant isle of walmart.

Lacoste Original is a beautiful classic, and Land is great. However, i smelt Challenge and had to wonder what exactly the point of this fragrance was. What or to whom was it targeted? I would not call Challenge a disaster, but it is a waste of a lot of what could have been good

I'm not a fan of Lacoste either but (Red) Style in Play is a fantastic fragrance. I love it! Not too keen on the others and Pour Homme is quite bad!

But Challenge. I got a chance to test it, and it was OK, nothing offensive but nothing really special either.

Anyway, someone mentioned they generally avoid Joop! fragrances? Too bad for you as Jump and Thrill are actually really awesome
