Lacoste L’Homme Intense Eau de Toilette turns the crisp woody spice of the original into a richer, more magnetic signature, opening with zesty citrus and juicy rhubarb over a lively flash of ginger and pepper, then settling into a smooth blend of vanilla, vetiver, cedar, and modern woods that feels confident, urban, and effortlessly polished on skin.

Story and Positioning
Introduced as a deeper twist on L’Homme Lacoste from 2017, L’Homme Intense channels the elegant sporting spirit of the crocodile through fruit-spice brightness and plush woods, designed for men who like their freshness to carry weight from day into evening. It sits within the L’Homme line alongside later flankers such as L’Homme Timeless, extending the modern rhubarb and ginger theme across different moods.
Bottle and Design
The L’Homme bottle’s clean rectangular silhouette and framed crocodile emblem are retained, while L’Homme Intense trades the clear glass for an opaque matte night blue finish with a sleek metallic cap, signaling the darker, more assertive character inside.
