Match Point

Whoever has voted this as similar to Blue de chanel should retire from collecting colognes as a hobby because they’re not very good at scent recognition. I’m joking of course, but not really. I respect our community so much so that I would hate to send another member down the wrong path with a purchase expecting this to be like BDC. Anyway, I was close to blind buying this stuff but was lucky enough to get a chance to smell a tester of this stuff first and I’m glad I got the opportunity to do so because I would have been extremely disappointed with my purchase. It’s not a bad scent, but in no way does it warrant its $100 dollar purchase. The best way I could describe this stuff is a herbal freshie. No particular note stands out to me with this one, and since I hate using the word generic to describe a fragrance, let’s just say that Lacoste can do a million times better than this, and they have. Basil and grapefruit stand out in the opening, then in the mid you have the herbal notes, it’s not sharp and it’s not sweet. In some ways it reminds me of a Salvatore Ferragamo type of herbal scent, but nothing pops or stands out. By the time the vetiver kicks in during the dry-down I’ve already lost interest with this stuff. Like I’ve said, it’s not a bad scent but it’s too simple without any depth, maybe I was expecting too much from Lacoste. 4/10.. Sorry, hard pass.

Match Point by Lacoste is a woody, herbal and green fragrance. Its opening is quite fresh, it smells of grass or garden grass, probably citrus and basil, in this phase it is very bright and stimulating, I liked it a lot. After a few minutes the citrus disappears but the herbal notes remain with a wood base. This fragrance has been a surprise for me, because it goes in the opposite direction to some trends in current fragrance launches, let's say sweet and spicy, blue or iris. In my case it reminds me a little of Eternity (the EDP) or Truth, both by Calvin Klein, in which green notes predominate like recently pruned or watered gardens. Because of its herbal notes, I like it to be used in spring, summer and autumn, for casual, sport use and I would say for any situation where you want to feel that feeling of country freshness. Longevity greater than 8 hours. with me and regular sillage.

Very green cashmere and quite pleasant, but not special. 5.5/10

I like that perfume, The spicy freshness combined with the woodiness is perfect for the hot sunny days that happens to be most of the year in where i live, But unfortunately it doesnt last long like i really mean it i wish it would last 4-5 hours but most of the time it last for about 2 hours and half.

Bought a bottle of Match Point body spray on clearance at Marshalls and was surprised how much I liked this scent. Months later I found a bottle of EDT on the cheap online and decided to add to my collection. I know that its not the best received scent but I must have a generic nose because this is a great scent for me and I like it very much more than any of you guys seem to. Reminds me of a more musky Eternity type fragrance from the late 90's with a modern twist. I feel if you mixed some Light Blue Forever into an Eternity bottle you would have something similar. It does not change much from start to finish. Right away I get musky grapefruit that is tamed down with basil and soft pepper notes. Turns green from here with geranium, light sage and almost a irish spring soapy floral musk. Then is surrounded by a very smooth clean vetiver that with a touch of cashmeran that has a warmth to it that is unique for such a fresh green scent. I smell no pine or woods at all in this. Smells mature clean and I could see how younger people would find it too mature. For me its a great find and will surely get worn this spring and summer. Could be worn in cool weather as well. Great for office or daytime events. Seems to be a good projector and lasts about 6-8 hours on skin. Solid green frangrance 7.5/10
