Eau De Lacoste L.12.12 White Eau de Toilette

So unique ... love it! It definitely doesn't smell anything like my other fragrances so definitely a good find. The grapefruit opening is a little tart ... almost bitter, so if you are used to a slightly sweet citrus opening like so many fresh scents ... then you get this very prominent bitter grapefruit note ... it's definitely unexpected. Within a few minutes it becomes a strong, unique BEAUTIFUL floral scent (I assume the ylang ylang). On the drydown you keep the prominent floral notes and it adds vetiver and cedar notes. I personally do not find this to be a sweet fragrance at all ... more of a clean, soapy, tart citrus and floral fragrance. It reminds me of adding strong floral notes to Varvatos Artisan Pure to create Lacoste Blanc. Because I sometimes find it difficult to find a masculine floral that smells great ... this one was a great discovery! IF you like fragrances like Artisan Pure blended with Azarro Chrome or Uomo Moschino ... or even Eternity ... then this might be something of interest to you. To me it's a solid 8/10. Although the longevity is just average ... the unique qualities in this fragrance makes it extremely wearable and pleasant. Oh ... forgot to mention ... it will get you lots of compliments and the ladies love it. ENJOY!!!

While i wouldn´t call this "generic" it is definitely mass appealing and i can see why it has earned it´s fame. It starts with some grapefruit, rosemary and very soft cardamom, quickly getting to the florals, which i find to be it´s best aspect, giving it an insanely clean and fresh feeling that few other fragrances have. As it keeps drying you can feel the depth that the leather/suede gives it. While it may not last (6-7hrs) nor project a ton, the fact it´s such a fresh and clean fragrance compensates for this, it just feels amazing to wear this and people who come close to you will definitely smell you. While it might come down as a little synthetic, it´s not the kind which gives you headaches or feels scratchy, so it doesn´t bother me. It is probably the most innoffensive fragrance i own and i love it for that, anyday, anytime, it just works.

Very good grapefruit and white/yellow floral scent perfect for warm spring and summer days! The citrus and woody smell has a slight familiarity to other freshies, but the ylang-ylang and tuberose notes add a nice floral freshness that makes it feel unique. But it's still very masculine. Very clean and fresh and a definite compliment puller. I would say the best situations for it are casual: Gym, office, hangouts with friends in spring and summer. Absolutely clean scent that will not offend. It does not last super long so apply every so many hours. A great value for the price, get it on discounters for a steal!

This one is just super fun and easy to wear, it's something you throw on to run errands or go to the gym, something leisurely. It reminds me of Mont Blanc Legend Spirit but remove the bubblegum aquatic and replace with white florals, a bit synthetic but for what this does that's a non issue. Don't pick up on any leather personally so don't let that throw you off, it's super clean unoffensive "showergel" type of fragrance...one of the better ones for the price imo. Longevity is decent but just take it with you. Easily the best Lacoste fragance.

Creamy, bright tuberose and ylang-ylang, drenched in essence of crushed Bermuda grasses. Up close, there is greenness - an addictive, earthy, dampness akin to a garden after a spring shower. The leather comes off very modern and smooth, which deviates from the usual sharp, old industrial leather ones. Drydown has that freshly bought handbag quality minus the powderyness. Honestly for the price I was expecting less but it really gave more. Such an underrated daily fragrance.
