Challenge Re/Fresh

Re/Fresh by Lacoste Fragrances presents a fresh, aromatic, and subtly spicy profile centered around camphoraceous herbs like oregano and rosemary, with a supporting birch wood note and a mild patchouli base. The scent opens with a sharp, high-pitched herbal tang that recalls a Mediterranean kitchen garden—bright but not citrusy, with cardamom and birch providing a cool, clean edge. This initial impression is fleeting, giving way to a soft, balsamic dry down where patchouli and tolu balsam add warmth without depth. The fragrance is structured for daytime wear, especially during spring and summer, and performs best under three sprays. It has moderate projection that quickly fades to intimate and close to the skin, with a modest longevity that lasts up to six hours. While it lacks sillage and long-lasting strength, this softness is intentional, making it ideal for the active wearer seeking a non-intrusive yet effective scent to mask sweat without distracting. The aroma remains understated and unassuming, with minimal impact unless sniffed directly.
