When I think of Lacoste, I always think of crocodiles and tennis! A weird combination but then again, the croc is Lacoste's symbol and it has always been linked to sports. So when it launches its perfume line, you can bet the scents are a far cry from coying, cloying orientals redolent with musk and ambergris but are light, breezy and easy to wear as Lacoste's famous casual clothes! 

Lacoste was founded back in 1933 in la belle France and is famous for its polo t-shirts thoughb it has a complete range of fashion and accessories. 

Its logo of a smirking crocodile with gaping red mouth came after its founder Rene Lacoste who was nicknamed 'Le Crocodile' for his tenacity on the tennis court! 

Rene Lacoste designed and wore the revolutionary tennis shirts during competitions and the crocodile emblazoned on his chest is said to be the first designer logo. But some think the Jantzen Girl who appeared in 1921 was the first.

In 2012 Lacoste was bought by the Swiss family owned group Maus Freres.
