In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Adidas Victory League by Adidas is a Oriental Woody fragrance for men. Adidas Victory League was launched in 2006.

Reviews →

Lacoste by Jean Patou opens with a sharp burst of lavender and rosemary, bringing a clean, barber-shop freshness from 1967. As the herbal edge softens, cedar and geranium ground the middle before settling into a mossy, musky base. It is a dry, masculine scent suited for warm spring mornings and casual linen shirts.
