Advantages: Smells great on almost everyone, good range of products availble

Disadvantages: Can be a bit pricy if you don't shop around, no eau de parfum

I'm particularly fussy about the perfumes I wear and I have a few regular favourites, my current fave being Lacoste Touch of Pink. Having fallen in love with Lacoste pour Femme many moons ago I tried a tester of this and was hooked.

The bottle is made of weighty pink and clear glass which tapers down towards the waist. The packaging and bottle were designed by the famous Sylvie de France (who designed the Nina Ricci Apple) and is curvy and pleasing to hold and the subtle pink makes it very girly!

The scent is a nice mixture of fruity and floral, fresh and soft. You can definitely smell vanilla, soft woods and jasmine in it but there is also a slight warm muskiness that develops with a spicy orange hint.

According to Lacoste the fragrance is made up of the following:

Top note of orange and silvery freshness or coriander with a hint of cardamom seeds
Heart note of jasmine, violet leaves and carrot seed oil
Base note of soft dry sandalwood, musk and rich lingering vanilla

The woods and vanilla bring a nice warm depth to the fragrance while still being fresh, delicate and feminine and it has good staying power for an eau de toilette. Sadly they don't seem to do an eau de parfum in this range.

The fragrance comes in two sizes 50ml at £34.00 and 150ml at £44.00 in the eau de toilette, a 150ml shower gel at £16.00, a 150ml body lotion at £18.00 and even a 75ml roll on deodorant (prices from Boots.com)

As it's more on the pricey end of the market it's always worth looking out for the gift packs or in duty free for this one.

I love this so much it I wear it everyday, not just on special occasions.

Summary: Perfect for the modern woman
