    Real talk

    Lacoste Original still holds up, it's the fragrance you reach for when you want to smell like yourself. Confident. Uncomplicated. The spicy-synthetic opening gives way to warm woody depth.Original
    Some fragrances try to be everything. Acqua di Selva doesn't. It's a 1949 fougere that smells like pine forests and campfires, herbal, smoky, direct. If you want subtlety, look elsewhere.Acqua di Selva
