Spritz Yourself With A Reimagined Bold Classic: LACOSTE ORIGINAL
From the first polo shirt and clothing logo to the first steel racket and tennis ball machine, these four words embody the essence of the Lacoste brand and celebrate the pioneering spirit of its founder.
René Lacoste was a tenacious champion and passionate inventor, often the first in the Original sense. This one word, in all its nuances, evokes his many facets and talents: Original, Revolutionary, Innovative, Genius, Inspiring, New, Authentic, Liberated.
'French Fashion Sport'
A symbol of French elegance since 1933, Lacoste has been honouring the legacy of its founder for over ninety years. Combining the traditional with the ultra-modern, this fashion-sports brand revisits its codes with creativity and inventiveness, with the iconic crocodile – a firm favourite the world over – as its figurehead.
While fragrances have long been part of the Lacoste universe, the brand is expanding its olfactory wardrobe with an original creation that reflects its unmistakable identity and celebrates its bold, daring personality. Lacoste presents LACOSTE ORIGINAL.
LACOSTE ORIGINAL, The New Fragrance
A subtle nod to the Lacoste Original fragrance launched in 1984, this new scent marks the first collaboration between Lacoste and Interparfums, embodying both authenticity and innovation.
Elegantly revealing all the brand's iconic codes, it adds an unexpected and surprising dimension to its olfactory universe, writing the first chapter of an inspiring, untold story.
A Design With Status
Sleek, timeless and iconic, the LACOSTE ORIGINAL bottle is a natural extension of the brand's DNA with its iconic green and white hues dominating the look. Its thick, transparent glass silhouette embodies a distinctive elegance with its rounded shoulders, slender lacquered cap and subtle black and silver detailing.
The Crocodile – the brand's iconic emblem – is embossed on the cap and bottle label. Meanwhile, the box features the same codes and details as the bottle, in a perfect rectangle with modern graphics.
A Sophisticated Olfactory Composition
Style and movement: these two dimensions so dear to Lacoste have guided Master Perfumer Anne Flipo and Perfumer Tanguy Guesnet in creating the LACOSTE ORIGINAL Eau de Parfum.
'As a brand, Lacoste combines timeless freshness with creative frenzy. The idea behind this sophisticated fragrance is to express movement in all its forms in a unique, powerful creation.' — Anne Flipo
This unique partnership of experience and spontaneity has resulted in a dynamic and modern woody ambery fougère.
'Anne and I worked on a citrus freshness with fiery spices to convey movement in this fragrance. Zesty notes of Bergamot, combined with the liveliness of Cardamom and Pink Peppercorn, make it a highly dynamic and modern scent.' — Tanguy Guesnet
LACOSTE ORIGINAL opens with the intense, tangy freshness of Bergamot, enhanced by spicy Pink Peppercorn and Cardamom accents. These explosive top notes give way to the elegance of Lavender and Clary Sage, which form an intense aromatic heart. At the base, sensual Sandalwood and powerful Patchouli lay the foundations of a potent sillage that blends comforting Amber with addictive Tonka Bean.
Dynamic, modern and addictive, LACOSTE ORIGINAL is the olfactory expression of exalted creativity, freedom of movement and French elegance, the hallmarks of all Lacoste creations.

French court tries ex-bosses of Ubisoft over sex harassment
Serge Hascoët, former creative director of Ubisoft, exits the courtroom after the trial of French video game publisher Ubisoft Entertainment former executives for harrasment and sexual assault at the courthouse in Bobigny, suburb of Paris, on June 2, 2025. — AFP PARIS: Three former top executives from French video game giant Ubisoft, the maker of Assassin's Creed and Far Cry , went on trial on June 2 accused of psychologically and sexually harassing employees for years. The trial, to last until June 6, was supposed to be held in March but was adjourned after lawyers complained they received some documents too late. The industry has been scrutinised for years over its treatment of women and minorities in the workplace – and the way they are depicted in games. Ubisoft launched an internal inquiry in 2020 after anonymous testimonies emerged on social media accusing the company of a toxic work culture. Several senior executives later left the firm. The executive shake-up at Ubisoft was hailed by some as a #Metoo moment in the male-dominated video game publishing industry, which has faced criticism for misogynistic imagery often found in games. One of the accused, Serge Hascoet, resigned from his post as chief creative officer. The other two – Thomas "Tommy" Francois, vice-president of editorial and creative services, and game director Guillaume Patrux – were dismissed for serious misconduct. All three men deny the claims. Hascoet and Francois arrived at the Bobigny court outside Paris on Monday morning. Employees had complained of regular public humiliation and hazing. Francois is the focus of the most damning claims of systematic psychological and sexual harassment at the company's offices in the eastern Paris suburb of Montreuil. Between January 2012 and July 2020, Francois is alleged to have often watched pornographic films in the open-plan office and commented on the appearance of female employees. Headstand in a skirt Francois was also accused of forcing a young employee he had just hired to do a headstand in the open-plan office while wearing a skirt. He is also accused of tying the same woman to a chair and putting her in an elevator, sending her to another floor. He also allegedly forced her to attend a work meeting after he painted her face with a felt-tip pen. In addition to the accusations of sexual and psychological harassment, Francois is being prosecuted for an attempted sexual assault when he tried to forcibly kiss a young employee during a Christmas party as she was held by other colleagues. According to an investigative report seen by AFP, Francois encouraged "his subordinates to act in the same way". Hascoet is accused of lewd behaviour and posing intrusive questions of a sexual nature, as well as racist comments and behaviour. The third defendant, former game director Patrux, 39, has been accused of psychological harassment. Investigators spoke to dozens of witnesses during the probe, but "many refused to file a complaint for fear of reactions from the video game community," according to the report seen by AFP. – AFP

Gaming fans bring electric energy to Rotterdam as TwitchCon arrives
A few metro stops from Rotterdam's Ahoy Arena, chatter is already flowing among gaming fans -- TwitchCon passes swinging from their necks, animal ears perched on their heads. The Dutch city is hosting TwitchCon this weekend -- the annual event run by United States streaming giant Twitch -- where fans can meet their favourite creators and join the celebrations. 'I started during the lockdown and I just really like to put on the live stream while I'm working on cosplays or other things,' said Larissa, a 24-year-old Dutch woman, who came to meet the creator of the fantasy characters that inspire her. This is Larissa's second TwitchCon, and for the occasion, she is dressed as a half-cyborg, half-minotaur creature with green skin and bright red eyes. 'I've been meeting a lot of cool people here, especially when you're in cosplay. People recognize the cosplay and are like, oh, that's the same series I really like. So then you have also something to talk about already.' - Electric energy - Like Larissa, thousands of fans from across Europe turned out to meet their favourite creators and watch live e-sports events including Fortnite and Elden Ring, staged by Twitch celebrities. 'Most of the work that happens on Twitch is online, it's digital,' said Mary Kish, a marketing director at Twitch. 'You're streaming with other people, you're hanging out with your community for many hours a week. 'What happens at TwitchCon is the culmination of all of that goodwill and all of that joy in person at a con, and the energy is electric,' said the 39-year-old, who is from the United States. French streamers JL Tomy and Etoiles -- who have 1.3 million and 1.2 million followers -- were also among those in attendance. 'It's fun because there are lots of other partner streamers who are like me,' said JL Tomy, 28, whose real name is Toma Abdellaoui. 'I'm very much a homebody,' said the streamer, whose content focuses on GTA, Valorant, League of Legends and e-sports competitions. Acquired by Amazon in 2014 for roughly $842 million, Twitch is the world's leading streaming platform for gaming, with more than 2.5 million hourly viewers on average. While gaming remains core to Twitch since its 2011 debut, the platform has broadened its reach, drawing in entertainment, sports and political figures, as well as livestreaming other major events. Kish said that Twitch's 'Just Chatting' category is now its largest non-gaming segment. 'There is a massive variety of other people doing other things. Like food and drink, where people are cooking... people who are showing their aquariums in their houses,' Kish said. Reflecting that diversity, visitors attended theatre workshops, built Lego models, or watched the annual Drag Queen show, a TwitchCon staple. TwitchCon's next North American edition is scheduled for October 17–19, 2025, in San Diego.

Unlock Your Culinary Potential With Insights From Malaysia's Finest Chefs
The culinary world is dynamic and full of endless opportunities for those passionate about food. But in an industry that's constantly evolving, how do you stand out? To answer that, we look at three inspiring chefs who've carved their own paths to success after graduating from Le Cordon Bleu: Chef Dato' Fazley Yaakob, Chef Amelia Ng and Chef Abang Brian. Let's dive into their stories and see how Le Cordon Bleu shaped their careers and helped them achieve culinary greatness. Dato' Fazley Yaakob: Redefining Malaysian Cuisine With A French Twist Chef Dato' Fazley Yaakob is a pioneer when it comes to blending Malaysian flavours with French culinary techniques. His journey began in his family kitchen, where the rich traditions of Negeri Sembilan cuisine sparked his love for cooking. But it was his desire to push the boundaries of Malaysian food that led him to experiment with French techniques, creating exciting new versions of traditional dishes. One of his signature creations, Mixed Rendang à la Negeri Sembilan, marries the bold spices of his heritage with French culinary precision. His innovation earned him a spot on MasterChef Malaysia, where his creativity and flair earned him national recognition. Today, Chef Dato' Fazley runs SukaSucre Bistro in Kuala Lumpur, a place where he continues to innovate while honouring his roots. 'Le Cordon Bleu helped me turn my passion into a profession. It became my lifestyle,' says Dato' Fazley. Amelia Ng: From Communications To Culinary Champion Chef Amelia Ng's journey into the culinary world began unexpectedly while studying Communications in the UK. She started cooking Malaysian dishes for her homesick friends, which ignited a passion that changed the course of her life. Driven by this newfound love for food, she pursued professional culinary training at Le Cordon Bleu Malaysia, where she honed both classical and modern techniques. Amelia quickly rose to prominence, becoming a finalist in the WACS Global Chef Challenge 2018 and winning the Jeunes Chefs Rôtisseurs Competition in Frankfurt, Germany. In 2024, she opened Cleaver Shed, a contemporary dining establishment located in Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI), Kuala Lumpur. The restaurant offers a diverse menu featuring juicy, affordable steaks and pasta dishes, reflecting her dedication to providing quality dining experiences. For Amelia, cooking is a way to honour her heritage, particularly the influence of her grandmother. Her approach emphasises respect for ingredients and a humble, non-pretentious approach to food. 'Le Cordon Bleu gave me the classical techniques I needed while introducing me to modern methods that are crucial in today's industry,' she shares. 'It's about being dedicated to your craft.' Abang Brian: From Corporate Life To Culinary Stardom Chef Abang Brian's culinary career didn't follow a traditional path. Initially working as an auditor, his life changed when his father was diagnosed with cancer. In an effort to meet his father's special dietary needs, Brian turned to cooking and learned through YouTube tutorials. This sparked a deep passion for food, leading him to leave his corporate job and pursue culinary arts full-time. Despite not having formal training at first, Brian's self-taught skills were soon refined at Le Cordon Bleu, where he earned both the Diplôme de Pâtissier and Diplôme de Cusinier. His breakthrough came when he participated in MasterChef Malaysia, where his creativity and dedication earned him widespread recognition. Today, Chef Abang Brian is a successful author, media personality, and co-owner of the Young Chef's Academy, an international franchise offering cooking classes for kids. He is also the host of 'The Hungry Immigrant Podcast,' a platform dedicated to exploring and preserving Asian food culture and heritage. The podcast features insightful conversations with chefs, food historians, and culinary innovators, focusing on traditional dishes, culinary techniques, and the cultural significance of food. Through the podcast, Chef Abang Brian highlights how food plays an integral role in preserving identity and heritage. 'Le Cordon Bleu instilled in me the professionalism and ethics that are essential for a long-lasting career in food,' says Brian. 'It's about learning the craft and sharing it with the next generation.' How Le Cordon Bleu Shaped Their Journeys All three chefs agree that Le Cordon Bleu played a pivotal role in their careers, helping them develop both technical skills and professionalism. Whether it was perfecting culinary techniques or teaching them how to innovate, Le Cordon Bleu provided them with the tools they needed to succeed. Amelia Ng credits Le Cordon Bleu for refining her skills and keeping her connected to her cultural roots. Dato' Fazley Yaakob appreciates how Le Cordon Bleu instilled discipline and precision, allowing him to merge traditional Malaysian and French cuisines. Abang Brian highlights the importance of professionalism, ethics, and dedication that Le Cordon Bleu taught him, all of which have been instrumental in his success.
