Limoncello has a very distinct taste and smell, not just lemons but yest, lemon oil, those compressed lemon pastes they have in north African cuisine and obviously booze and a frosted effect from being chilled in the freezer. Lacoste L.12.12 Eau fraiche really doesn’t possess these qualities to my nose at least. Yes there’s a delicate citrus in the top notes coming across cold and refreshing, not disimilar to that D&G Light blue Zest edition that came out in the summer. However Eau fraiche is a bit weirder than that and has far more in common with unusual modern, woody perfumes like escentric molecules, than it does with citrus and edc type fragrances. Don’t get it twisted, I don’t mean it’s an ISO E Super fragrance or anything but it does have a stale, cedarish bed and a very slight nature to it, which sits incredibly close to the skin. I found it interesting and not really the fragrance I had expected to find from the notes. It’s no Eau de Lacoste Blanc but it definitely warrants further investigation and is more than I’d bargained for. I’ve gotta say the bottle looks nice with that fade effect too.

I’m very impressed by this. I find Lacoste a bit patchy on the whole; but this is one of those Lacoste ‘places’ where the land rises very high out of the water, so to speak. A surprisingly hefty musk is the basis on which a green-aquatic – and yet somehow not clichéd green aquatic – accord is built.
I think this is very much what might be called a ‘post IFRA’ perfume. (Apologies, please, for using foul language!) What I mean is, I think a lot of perfumes – new releases, that is – are beginning to smell like this. Not like it as in the content of the fragrance – no these fragrances I speak of are perfectly well varied – it’s just that there seems to me a certain paradigm of fragrance emerging – perhaps that of headspace & molecule-tweaking getting really quite consummate. (Like … Limoncello!? A perfume note!? It’s a lovely drink – one of my favourites – but a perfume note?) Others that also show it forth are the new ones by Memo, which are really very lovely. And there are yet others. Or perhaps it’s just my imagination.
I was also very surprised at how many compliments this drew as well. (Might even have been a whole two (people seem to be a bit wary of complimenting my perfumes for some reason. And when they do it’s often in a roundabout way, such as telling me never to come near them wearing that stuff ever again, or something like that)). But these compliments were actually normal ones!

Great for spring/summer. Casual fragrance though couldn’t be worn for formal events. Great for days out to the beach,picnics or if your going shopping. Seem quite strong for the first few hours. A good Lacoste release!

What a pleasant surprise. Very fresh and green, reminds me of 212 by Carolina Herrera.
