Get It Joburg West

𝐖𝐈𝐍 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐍𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐑 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐥!

It’s a feminine woody, floral, fruity fragrance - a richer, fruitier interpretation of the iconic signature. And it’s irresistible. It’s Lacoste Original Eau de Parfum Intense ... a juicy burst of addictive raspberry, softened by a creamy pomegranate milk accord, with heart notes of radiant jasmine and a delicate rose petal accord which add an elegant feel, before giving way to a warm, sensual trail of vanilla and tonka bean. You’ll find it from R1299 for the 60ml bottle from Edgars, Truworths and Foschini.

To win a bottle of this new irresistible scent, make sure you're following us, like this post and leave a comment. Entries close on 25 November. Winners will be selected from across all participating Get It platforms, and will have to collect their prize from their closest Get It magazine office.
