Our ESSENTIAL Oil Fragrance Oil is 98% close to the original ESSENTIAL perfume launched by the Lacoste brand in 2005. It has the same notes as are present in the original scent profile. Top notes are Cassia, Bergamot, Tangerine, and Tomato Leaf; middle notes are Rose and Pepper; base notes are Sandalwood and Patchouli.
This fragrance oil is a technical reconstruction achieved through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis, ensuring the molecular weight of the accords matches the 2005 formulation. By utilizing a carrier-based oil delivery system, the volatility of the top notes is regulated, preventing the rapid flash-off associated with ethanol-based sprays. The inclusion of Hedione provides a high degree of transparency and radiance, while the specific isomer of Iso E Super used in the base ensures a velvety, woody diffusion that maintains molecular stability for over 10 hours on human dermis.

How It Performs
The performance of this oil is characterized by a linear evaporation curve. Unlike traditional perfumes where the alcohol spike causes a 30-minute projection burst followed by rapid decay, this oil maintains consistent sillage. On the skin, it provides 10–12 hours of measurable fragrance presence. The diffusion is moderate, creating a 1.5-meter scent bubble that is persistent rather than aggressive. Because it contains no alcohol, the maceration process is complete upon bottling, ensuring the scent does not change over time.
Best Times to Wear
This fragrance is engineered for high-humidity and high-temperature environments (25°C to 35°C). The green characteristics of the tomato leaf accord remain crisp in heat. It is an ideal choice for professional office settings, gym use, and casual daytime activities where a non-cloying, fresh profile is required.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Eliminates the harsh alcohol opening; immediate scent clarity. | Reduced initial projection distance compared to EDT sprays. |
| Superior skin adhesion leading to 12+ hour longevity. | Heavier skin feel during application. |
| 98% match to the original 2005 scent profile. | Requires 60 seconds to absorb before dressing. |
How It Compares
While the original Eau de Toilette relies on high volatility to project, it suffers from a short lifespan of approximately 4 hours. Our ESSENTIAL Oil utilizes fixatives that lower the vapor pressure of the citrus molecules. This results in the tangerine and bergamot notes remaining detectable for twice as long as the original. The cost efficiency is significant, with 10ml of oil providing the same number of applications as a 100ml spray, priced at only Rs. 1,200.
What Customers Say
“The tomato leaf note is identical to the original bottle I owned years ago. It stays on my skin through an entire work shift without fading.”
“I prefer this oil over the spray because it doesn’t have that chemical sting at the start. It smells very natural and clean.”
Any Questions?
Is this oil safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, the absence of ethanol reduces the risk of contact dermatitis and skin dehydration.
How do I apply this correctly?
Apply to pulse points where heat is generated, such as the wrists and neck, to facilitate gradual diffusion.
Will it stain my clothes?
As this is a concentrated oil, it is designed for skin application. Allow it to absorb fully before contact with light-colored silk or linen fabrics.
