About the Brand

The Lacoste brand was founded in 1933 by René Lacoste and André Gillier. It became the first brand to place its logo directly on clothing. René Lacoste earned the nickname "The Crocodile" in the American press as early as 1923, a reference to his tenacity and a bet over a crocodile leather suitcase.

By choosing Lacoste, you acquire a fragrance from a brand whose history has been intertwined with René Lacoste and the crocodile symbol from the very beginning.
