The Beginning
Touch of Spring was born in 2007 as Lacoste’s ode to the season’s awakening. Drawing on the brand’s sporty DNA, the perfumers chased the crisp vitality of early spring, translating it into a fragrance that feels like a fresh green field after a light drizzle. The bottle, rendered in a clear green hue, echoes the same palette used for Touch of Pink and Touch of Sun, reinforcing the limited‑edition trio that celebrates nature’s rebirth.
The composition pairs quince blossom with ripe peach, giving a bright, slightly tart fruit opening that instantly lifts the mood. Water lily and osmanthus follow, adding a watery floral heart that feels like a pond edged with blooming shrubs. A base of sandalwood and musk grounds the scent, providing a soft, creamy finish that lingers like sun‑warmed bark.
The Evolution
The first ten minutes are dominated by the juicy snap of quince and the honeyed glow of peach, a crisp burst that feels like biting into a sun‑ripe fruit on a dewy morning. As the top fades, water lily unfurls with a cool, aquatic veil, while osmanthus adds a subtle apricot‑green nuance, creating a breezy garden pond effect. By the half‑hour mark, the heart settles into a gentle green veil, and the base of sandalwood emerges, offering a creamy, woody warmth that blends with the lingering musk. The drydown stays light, hovering close to the skin for about three to four hours before fading into a faint, comforting trace that whispers of spring’s lingering freshness.
Cultural Impact
Since its limited‑edition launch, Touch of Spring has become a quiet favorite among fans of understated spring scents, often mentioned alongside Lacoste’s Touch of Pink and Touch of Sun as the trio that captures the brand’s green aesthetic. Wearers appreciate its light‑hearted vibe for weekend brunches and office mornings, noting its subtle projection fits the modern, active lifestyle Lacoste celebrates.
