Description
French tennis player Rene Lacoste created his first polo shirt in 1927. Its code is L.12.12. (“L” stands for Lacoste, the number 1 symbolizes the “Petit Piqué” material used, 2 represents short sleeves and 12 is the number of prototypes made before the final product). Lacoste launches three new masculine fragrances inspired by their polo shirts. Three perfumes match three colors of the polos: white, blue and green.
Three new men’s fragrances L.12.12. White, L.12.12. Blue and L.12.12. Green, in addition to a common sporting note, each possesses a different olfactory character. White represents simplicity, elegance and freshness, blue symbolizes intensity, aquatic life and manhood, and green stands for nature and good vibrations.
L.12.12. White is a pure classic floral woody fragrance. Top notes are grapefruit, cardamom, rosemary and cedar leaf, mixed with the core of Mexican tuberose and ylang-ylang. Sensual notes of leather, suede and cedar form the base.
Lacoste L.12.12. design is simple and elegant with the brand’s sophistication and symbolism. The bottles are sleek and minimalistic with a distinctive logo of the brand – the famous crocodile embroidered cloth. The texture on the surface of the bottle reminds of that of a polo shirt.
It is available as 30 and 100 ml EDT.
Eau de Lacoste L.12.12. White was launched in 2011.
boduell – :
All I can say according to my taste , the best scent Lacoste came out with so far.
Aleks Serb1968 – :
Very good summer scent, very refreshing, unfortunately this doesn’t last more than 1-2 hours on me, and definitely zero projection, but i guess this is common to all ‘fresh’ scents.
typetoini – :
I love perfumes very much.. And i would like to say that this perfume is my all time favorite… It’s Cheap but smells expensive, Fits my personality, has a perfect blend of citrusy, floraly,woody, creamy and just the right amount of sweet… Imagine a guy wearing a white polo shirt, rich, casual or formal,clean, organized but still sexy… Yup that’s how i could describe it… They say its for daytime, summer casual. But for me its very versitile. Wear it in any occasion! Last more than 8 hours on my skin honestly. I can say my skin holds on to perfumes even the ones people say has poor longevity stays long on my skin. I give this perfume a 4.8/5
Delmi1983 – :
One of my favorite Lacoste frags. Deff spring/summer. Light/sweet/fresh.. Matches the white bottle. with some wood hidden in the back to give it some pop. Otherwise it’s just a plain sweet citrus smell. Not too much wood though. Just enough. Love it. Like Hugo boss tonic with more punch.. a granny punch.. but still. Best with white tee, ripped jeans and sneakers.
shevketk – :
It’s massively a grapefruit bomb, this one; and yet the underlying leatheriness is immediately apparant, making it clear that it’s a perfume, and not just a smell … a bit like you’re walking across a plush-carpeted (the grapefruit) floor – but you can feel that there are good stout joists (the leather) underneath.
I would actually say it’s very soapy …really quite soapy, actually.
I think I might be coming round to Lacoste fragrances a bit, you know.
Pendalf-99 – :
So nice and soft! A little fruity and very woodsy, going back and forth. It lasts about 5 hours on my skin and it has great sillage for such a soft fragrance! 10/10. Lovely scent. I love it.
egik – :
An OK fruit scent, but headache-inducing if inhaling deeply.
d3x_D1MS – :
A pleasant scent, fruits and florals, gives you a cooling vibe, like watermelon in summer. The bottle easily makes you think of a white clean crisp polo-shirt, inoffensive and sporty. Its nothing ground-breaking and the performance is okay at around 4 hours on my skin. You wont stand out in the summer-heat just wanting to have something on for the day. Theres many other fresh scents from bigger designer companies that do it better. Overall if you already have a few popular fresh fragrances than skip this. You can buy this or just use scented detergent, same result. Nothing wrong with this, but nothing great either.
Scent : 7/10
Performance : 6/10
Value : 6/10
ingetrien – :
L12 12 blanc is a mildly sweet fresh citrus-floral with a light leather note and an herbal accord that gives it an extra extra clean feel. I get a tropical vibe with this one as well. My bottle was a gracious gift, im glad to finally have it.
xcy150Bessinepome – :
Lacoste White is a good smelling perfume. But in a masculine society like the Philippines this is somehow effeminine hence the usage of Ylang-ylang. When I wore this in public transport the guys turn their heads and made me uncomfortable. Overall, one of the most popular here in summer.

Fragrance -Eau de Lacoste L.12.12. White Lacoste Fragrances
Bottle from – 2016
Eau de Lacoste L.12.12.White opens on my skin with a fresh, enjoyable,clean,soapy and a bit herbal and spicy grapefruit with a wisper of flowers yet to come laying on top of a peaceful cedar.All this gives you the ilusion that you can almost smell the watermelon.
During mid development,a bit creamy bouquet of flowers,with dominant ylang-ylang,starts to emerge.At this point,in the middle,it is all about creamy flowers and cedar with a wisper of vetiver.
This all leads into a woody and creamy base with dominant cedar and vetiver with a nice touch of fine leather and the floral notes recede into the background.
Eau de Lacoste L.12.12. White has some similarities to Blanc by Al-Rehab.
This is a pleasant,safe and likeable scent and cedar has outshone the competition, winning the Oscar for Best Supporting role.
Longevity – 6/10(5-6 hours)
Silage/Projection – 6/10(moderate projection for the first 1-2 hours,than sits closer to skin for the duration of the scent’s evolution)
Weather -Best in spring and summer.
Age – 18+
Compliments – 8/10
Scent – 7,5/10
Main notes according to me – grapefruit,cedar,ylang-ylang, tuberose,rosemary,cardamom.
The drydown is woody and creamy and I get some -cedar,vetiver,suede and flowers.
Emotions -enjoyable,clean,calming,pleasant,appealing,peaceful.
Occasion -perfect for casual activities,sports activities, college and office.
Eau de Lacoste L.12.12. White is a safe choice for everyday wear.
AVALS66 – :
Sentence Summary:
Quite a nice initial, youthful, fresh, fruity blast (mainly melon and lemon – same letters, different fruits) which then unfortunately disperses faster than a Febreze sheet blown through a wood shredder. You could be forgiven for believing that the dry-down has a pleasant faint smell of fresh laundry, until you realise that’s what your clothes (should) smell like anyway.
Overall rating 6/10
jktcmrf – :
Got as a gift. One of the few from them that doesn’t smell cheap or headache-inducing(MY bottle of Essential I can’t touch due to the throbbing pain; a shame because it smells great, and not cheap…you cheap smelling Lacoste, – Challenge! Scream yuck.)
This almost smells like something from the past, i.e a strawberry shortcake doll(my sister had one lol) or something a whisper womanly. Maybe it could be unisex? It is very good though, probably Lacoste’s best work yet(Their worst to me could be ‘Booster’…OMG, that was gifted quick…and the recipient equally hated it!lol). Strength level – mild-to-moderate.
guram – :
Very safe and so pleasant. Probably the best in this lacoste lineup.
Similar to Boss bottled unlimited and mont blanc legend spirit.
If people can smell it, you will get complements. No one could dislike it or get offended by it.
Projection is good for one hour then it is a soft skin scent for 3 hrs.
Sillage is amost not there.
metro549 – :
a really clean and refreshing smell but it’s so hard to detect since the sillage is poor. I have to look down and lift my shirt to smell it. It’s longevity is underwhelming as well, as the scent is gone within 3 hours.
mpugach – :
I purchased this for my 19yo son. I’m super picky about men’s scents. Most are too harsh and abrasive to my nose. But one brief sniff and I knew I would like this and thankfully so did my son. Turns out I like it so much I wish I had gotten it for my husband because I can’t put my nose in my son’s neck and inhale for long periods of time bc that would be weird and creepy lol! This is a relaxing scent and kind of yummy in that ‘I want to snuggle your neck’ kind of way. I’m not going to comment on all of the notes because I’m new to this but I am finding I like tuberose, ylang ylang, cardamom and soft citrus in scents.
damr16 – :
This is summer mood lifter. I had 30ml long ago, and when I remember myself in summer with perfect mood and this fragrance on myself, I bought it again, just now 175ml and I don’t regret it. I still love it and can’t wait to use it on warm, windy summer days. It will be my everyday summer scent. Very fresh and clean smell.
Longevity: 6
Sillage: 7
All in all: safe summer/gym scent, IMHO best or one of the best from Lacoste.
Drego 64 – :
To be honest iam really not sure about this cologne bought yesterday and using today and for its very down,i will give this a try and see how far it takes me.
Agent005 – :
The moment that my supplies reach the 4 or 5 bottle number, I’m buying this again. It’s fresh, clean and elicits favorable complements.
rjcnztujhjd – :
great casual scent.
Scent : 9/10 (clean, crips, fresh)
Projection : 7.5/10 (within an arm length i guess?)
Longevity : 8/10 (it stays for about 4-6 hours easily on my skin, and even stays longer on clothes.)
Sillage : 8.5 / 10 (nice scent trail)
versatility : 10/10 (you can wear this to school, casual dating, office, or maybe even church? this is by far, one of that scent that suits almost anything anytime.
buy/try/pass ? definitely a buy.
blind buy worthy? yep. i do think so.
cheers !
muhanova1985 – :
This is my signature smell. It is almost like a drug to my friends and colleagues. When I wear it, people stay close to me and keep telling me how amazing the smell is. Seriously, this fragrance is a real magnet. I am not able to smell it anymore and I don’t remember what it smells like but it must smell amazing because people seem to really enjoy it.
Lopatinvit09 – :
Has the Lacoste Sweet Vibe many of their scents share. A bit floral, pretty dense. Very clean.
I think this is the best of Lacoste’s scents. Great for summer casual wear. The gym, the mall, hanging with friends, etc.
Longevity is average (4-6 hours) for this sort of scent on my skin.
A 7.0/10 for me. Worth seeking out for a cheaper ($30 or less) casual scent that would be great on college/younger men.
Flagmanff – :
Lovely fresh clean scent from Lacoste. In my opinion this is an underrated future classic which will smell good for many years. One of my favourite go to scents during the summer months. This scent epitomises the feeling of clean and fresh and can be worn in any situation.
This is a beautifully blended fresh citrus scent with above average performance for a scent in this category. 6 hours longevity on my skin with decent projection. Great value for money.
Not to be overlooked….
9/10
regerhb – :
Are you kidding me Lacoste ? This stuff smells like a generic AXE shower product. Boring as hell. Get a real fragrance !
vovyarik – :
While I love the the scent of this, it makes me sneeze like crazy. I assume that’s due to certain synthetic notes. I can’t stand when a fragrance causes massive sneezing. Buy cheap that’s what you get I suppose.
Memne740Diobtetty – :
This is a sneaky great scent. It’s a smooth, terrifically blended citrus scent. It’s a bit more refined and elegant than a typical citrus scent though.
Scent:9

Unique/Industry First:7
Quality:9
Overall:9
Simply a phenomenal scent. This is a scent you can wear anywhere, anytime. I feel this and Lacoste L12 12 Rouge Energetic are the best Lacoste scents available today
11111 – :
My favorite gym fragrance because of the freshness. Great fragrance for outdoors in summer and good for indoor in winters. This fragrance is as fresh as it gets. Finished one 100ml and got my second one today. Lasts for about 6-7 hours with good projection for 2-3 hours. Under 20s musnt put more than 2 sprays of this thing.
Overall 9/10
Sergeyk2005 – :
This is one of my everyday staple scents. Why? because its simple, pleasant and inoffensive. The charm of this scent is on how it can still be worn on hot, humid summer days but you can also wear this up till autumn. If you just want to wear something without thinking of irritating other people this one is great for that.
Its main problem though is its longevity but overall I can still recommend it since its cheap against some of its competitors in the market.
halgraply – :
Eau de Lacoste White reminds me of why grapefruit is not my favorite note — it’s very sour and sharp and completely overwhelms any other note in a fragrance. I wanted more florals and rosemary in this, but all I can smell is grapefruit and an extremely watered down woody/suede/laundry musk base. Yawn.
artela.m – :
I really enjoy this daytime fragrance. It’s juicy, sweet and fresh, without the feminine attributes that I dislike. Perfect for hot days, outdoor events and road trips.
Grade: A-
tgtg – :
I don’t agree with dismissing it as just a “clean laundry-smelling perfume”, even if you mean it as a compliment; it’s too yummy and refined for that. It’s more like the laundry of the gods of Mount Olympus!
NetsNiftispsw – :
I love love love this one. Good for high summer heat, makes u feel fresh and energetic. It has a clean smell. Not complicated fragrance simple easy and straightforward. Performance on me is very lasts easily 6 to 8 hours. But it’s one of these fragrances if u use it for one week everyday ur nose will get used to it and u will think it has a poor performance.
Highly recommended.

This is more of an information on the new perfume I came across today
The other bottle of Lactose White, is called Disclosure White from the house of Sapil.
I have used Lacoste white l-12-12 the ultra clean perfume few years back and was always reaching for it in the summer, After it got over i didn’t buy a second bottle.So was going through other perfumes on some website and some link took me to this Perfume called Sapil Disclosure in White!!. I looked at the notes on their website and found out it is the same as this perfume from top notes to bottom notes in the same order!! Cudnt believe but ordered it as it was only 1/4th the price of this juice..
Guys!!!! I have seen, heard and tried clones in the past for other perfumes , but this is not a clone , it is just the change in bottle , but the perfume is 100% or say 200% the same as L-12-12-white.. Which is stunning .. However fagrantica has not listed this perfume under the Sapil page. but let me help , The other bottle of Lacoste White is called as Disclosure White from the house of Sapil.
mr.vladislav – :
Simple. Semi-sweet. Safe. Pleasing. Calming.
This fragrance needs no extensive summary. Clean feeling creamy white florals dry down into a synthetic smelling cedar wood base. The ideal “after the gym/just took a shower” scent. It smells great on you, on your clothes, on your pillow, in the air, and according to my girlfriend even in your car!
No need to scrutinize this scent. It has it’s purpose, and serves it well. For the price especially, I’d deem it an essential to anyone’s collection looking for a feel good go-to.
ANDREY AS – :
To me, this is a summer fragrance, but not a typical summer office wear fresh fragrance. This is more of a summer beach holiday fragrance you can wear with your T shirt where the fragrance enhances your relaxing holiday mood.
Mix of citrus and florals but not feminine. I’m personally someone who does not enjoy fragrances that have a feminine touch to them..eg. YSL Le Nuit for me is more feminine than masculine, and while I like Dior Homme Intense, I’d rather smell it on a woman than wear it myself. Lacoste White is floral yet masculine.
I wear this one not during the day, but before going to bed on summer night, makes for a sweet slumber fragrance
Nibassilm – :
I am loving this fragnance! I am addicte to it, so fresh, so relaxing.
shaluti – :
Sublime. Hypnotic.
rohanik – :
It has an initial blast of citrus. It transitions to a masculine musky scent. Definitely smell the cedar. It projects well and it lasts 7 to 9 hours. Safe work scent. I got the gift set with the deodorant and shower gel. The shower gel smells amazing. The deodorant smells like straight alcohol.
manzarari – :
this fragrance is not worth the time , better keep the money for the excellent seductive fragrances
Whitis – :
Eau de Lacoste Blanc is a fantastic little gem released by Lacoste as part of their L.12 series. While I enjoy Yellow, this one, in my opinion is the best of the line, as it’s a truly original scent with a very distinct smell. The dominant notes to my nose are Ylang-ylang and tuberose, which work alongside the grapefruit to create a floral aroma with a very tropical slant. Blanc is NOT just a clean white citrus fragrance as you may be lead to believe by the name and the fact that it would make sense since everyone’s releasing clean white citrus fragrances these days. In fact, the “white” aspect of this one probably has more to do with a certain coconut-like creaminess that’s prevalent throughout the scent, which gives it a smooth and lush feeling. I’m not saying it smells like coconut exactly, but there’s this tropical creaminess to it that’s pervasive from start to finish. Blanc is a cheerful scent and because of the florals it’s elegant as well, but in a very relaxed, breezy way. Cardamom lends it some sweetness, and while it has a woody base the wood notes are not very distinct and are more of that generic, kind of vague woodiness blended with a little white musk to provide some backbone to the florals. But the bland quality of the woods doesn’t really bother me here as the focus is on the florals and grapefruit, and they are what really shine in this composition. Eau de Lacoste can be dressed up or down easily and seems best suited for daily wear and warm evenings out. I love to wear this during the summer when I’m out at night, especially if I’m near the beach or a boardwalk. It really fits that kind of environment well (if I ever take a vacation to Hawaii, I’m bringing this with me!). Overall I give this a thumbs up and actually recommend it as a blind buy for anyone interested in a masculine floral-tropical. It’s relatively inexpensive and its unique smell will probably give you a pleasant surprise. Enjoy!
Medxi658Bessinepome – :
This is what the Quarterback of The College Football Team would wear. It will instantly remind you of the Spring or Fall at a College Campus and is something that the cool/popular people would wear as a College Fragrance/Signature Fragrance. It has an excellent smell and is elegant with class.

This is my favorite fragrance!
Wonderful scent, so fresh n clean!

Smells like Versace Yellow Diamond??
teivanivip – :
One of my new favorite fragrances, Eau De Lacoste Blanc is an effervescent and narcotic delight. It’s initial spray is like a sobering wave of cool mist, a fresh scent of grapefruit with a background of creamy tuberose flower and sweet Ylang-Ylang commingle masterfully. The dry down takes this perfume into a sensual route, as the suede, woodsy, and leather notes become more present it tugs at the heart strings. In conclusion the scent is marvelous, it accentuates the positive qualities of youth with a fresh and ecstatic quality in a consummate blend. It’s longevity is fairly modest, this fragrance will remain on my skin for roughly five to six hours. It’s sillage is also standard, this scent makes itself known but doesn’t appear overconfident as it remains a sweet and fresh concoction while it’s smooth elegant notes offer a hushed nuance to this fragrance. I’d recommend this fragrance for casual and informal occasions, family gatherings or a date with friends as this scent perpetuates a sense of youthful transparency and friendliness on the wearer welcoming conversation and comradery.

i never get bored of this fragrance i believe i purchased it 6 times already. it’s fresh and deep at the same time
petenka60 – :
I love the Lacoste White. This has become my signature scent. It smells fruity and clean. I fell inlove with the scent and would get compliments even from strangers telling me how good i smell. Definitely one for keeps.
dino32 – :
I do like this, but since smelling more fragrances I’ve kind of lost the initial love that I had for it. It is very clean, with a freshly-washed linen scent to it (reminds me of some kind of detergent). I also get this cleaning product smell/vibe with Lacoste Challenge – hmm, something about the brand going on there. Anyway yeah it’s okay but not as amazing as I first thought. I think it’s very average now.
Scent: 5/10
Projection: 5/10

I had a corner of this juice left in the bottle that I used today. My goodness! This is a gorgeous sweet and citrusy fragrance that I enjoyed from the very beginning. However, it does perform differently, sweeter, during this very hot day here, and I love it. Lacoste White is a must for a repurchase and is a all purpose fragrance in my view. The 5.9 oz bottle will be my next purchase.
gogi63 – :
A very mature fragrance, the one you could wear for work or a date on summer. Personaly, Id say that it is both for day and night, but would prefer wearing it on summer nights, because it gets heavy as the time goes by.
I loved the opening, but the drydown just makes me nauseated. Not sure why, maybe it is the Ylang-Ylang, maybe something else, but the after an hour, is just not sitting well on me.
butskevserq – :
This fragrance reminds me of sweaty high school locker rooms and I LOVE it. Grapefruit and leather notes are common to a lot of men’s fragrances, anti-perspirants etc. so you’ll probably smell this and think that it smells like every other “sport” fragrance out there, and you won’t be wrong, but luckily that’s exactly what I was looking for. Plus there’s a note of cardamom, which is hands down my favorite note, and while subtle enough to be borderline undetectable, it’s present enough to draw me in. This fragrance doesn’t last long at all. Maybe 2-3 hours, but again that’s what I wanted. I wear it to the gym (it helps me get into that mindset), sweat in it for about an hour (wherein my natural stench is successfully masked), and then shower it off and am able to put on my real fragrance of the day after.
superpanda71 – :
The Lacoste line is hit or miss for me but this is one of the hits. I wore it daily but you can do a more formal setting with it as well. Very crisp initially but ends in a leather/musk scent that is awesome

DooM24 – :
when people say dryer sheet they are both wrong and right.
off the top, sour milky citrus tuberose.
luxurious deep chypre base, fuzzy musk, sporty aquatic.
but always the really somewhat novel sour milky tuberose, which is nice.
almoledobby – :
I have owned top brand of fragrances like Bleu De Chanel and Creed but this one beats them the most. Lacoste white smells just like the way that I want to smell: fruity and clean. It smells fruity and smells clean in a way where it gives people the impression you are fresh from out of the shower and your clothes are out of the dryer. It doesn’t smell synthetic at all. Now I don’t normally give perfect scores but this deserves a 10/10. Projection is okay but the sillage is amazing, especially if it is windy. I am going to buy a full bottle!
UPDATE
I just bought a full bottle and would have to change my opinion regarding the performance. The projection is above average where I can still smell it after six hours and the sillage is still amazing if I spray it on my wrist which creates a trail of scent. You cannot go wrong with this cologne. I have tested this with a sample but it is a safe blind buy, too. The only thing bad about this fragrance is the cap of the bottle. It’s hard to take it out.
pqw190JeomiWogkig – :
Dryer sheet febreeze smell.
About as clean smelling as you can get without a soapyness.
But you have to want to smell like febreeze all day.
Lacostes own pdf literature says White 12.12 was created and designed to be used on clothing.
Makes sense.
Efforkgolefep – :
smells like an okay/decent deodorant. has very good longevity on the skin for a fresh fragrance. not sure about sillage.
anyway, i know that we appreciate we all have different tastes but if you are a perfumista you really should be looking beyond this, you can find better.
Jomoursuata – :
This fragrance is solo fresh and awesome!
Aerohopleneriktl – :
Ive recently went thru a bottle and i now know what this smells like. Its like a “sweeter” more casual Terre De Hermes. After I nailed it couldnt get the comparison out of my head. 8.5/10 scent, BUT safe in any situation
hut217Diobtetty – :
This is office safest scent.
Very smooth and refreshing.
icw785Unlogrere – :
A soft, fruity, very high quality scent with shades of elegance. Easily Lacoste’s best cologne.
Moderate longevity and high-moderate sillage.
HeawlDwerne – :
This is a perfume that my dream man would wear. XD
My dream man is cheerful, classy, romantic and has masculine side inside of him. Yeah, this perfume is really represent that kind of man.
It opens with clean and sporty fresh top notes. Then dry down to romantic flowery in middle notes but still has manly smart base notes in it.
I don’t know about sillage or longevity because it didn’t try it on my skin. But who cares?? It smells so amazing! XD
I can’t get enough of it. Totally catch my heart. <333
isenagrd – :
i just finished this and will probably buy again
visulka – :
I like it very much. The thing is that girls notice quite quickly that’s a lacoste fragrance. So what’s the point in wearing it? hahaha
Nick74 – :
First initial wearing:
This stuff is easily 1 of the most pleasant colognes ive ever smelled. Its very inoffensive and nice but and would be great to have as a dumb reach for casual wear in the summer but at the same time its also a little boring and nothing that will stand out to people.
This smells very similar to the Old Spice body wash Swagger(Maybe without the slightly spicy kick) and also bares similarities to Bond no 9 Scent of Peace
In a nutshell this smells like a soft,clean,dryer sheet out of the shower smell that people will like and will compliment you on, but at the same time your not going to stand out and blow people away with how you smell like say an Aventus, or Green Irish Tweed.
—————————————————————————————————–
So ive worn this stuff for a week and my opnion of this has changed as its a very weird cologne on me.
My first impression of this is that this would probably be the least inoffensive scent in my collection as it has a very soft,fresh, almost fresh linen,dryer sheet type of smell so I ended up pumping 5 sprays. (2 sprays on the neck, 1 on the wrist and dabbed them together,1 on the chest and 1 on the shirt)THAT WAS A MISTAKE ! I didnt notice that this was strong but I got a few complaints none the less.
Im usually good about telling if ive sprayed enough on but its a scent that you get used to fairly quickly and think that its gone but anyone that gets close WILL be able to smell you. The real deal breaker was my girlfriend liked the scent but it was just too strong that it gave her a headache.
1 thing that ive discovered is that its best with only 2-3 sprays (2 if your indoors and 3 if your outdoors) and its best if you spray it on skin rather than on clothing because when you spray it on clothing theres some note that just smells foul. Im guessing its that note that can make this smell like rotten pineapple like some reviewers have mentioned.
HOWEVER, I did wear this the next day and only did 2 sprays to the neck and my girlfriend DID end up liking this. She said it wasnt her favorite but it was a relaxing scent and with moderation was appealing.
The only downside to applying 2 sprays is that it then lasts 2-4 hours where as when I applied 5 sprays it lasted a good 8hours.
The smell is what I thought of at the beginning. This to me smells like a soft,dryer sheet,fresh linen type of smell that when in moderation will get you compliments but more than 3 sprays and this becomes a very cloying,overly synthetic mess.
PERFORMANCE: When applied 2-3 sprays this lasts anywhere from 2-4hours and projects a little below average. It doesnt project across the room but you will have a little bubble of fragrance around you.
Overall id rate this a 6.5 out of 10 ! Its a decent scent with about average performance.
1 thing though is that Id recommend this for the cooler seasons and not summer ! It would be perfect for casual use in the spring and fall
So far I have 4 bottles of Lacoste frags (Essential,Essential Sport,Style in Play, and of course WHITE) but id have to say this is my least favorite.
Selena23 – :
Fresh n’ clean! Perhaps a little spice? Its similar to Kenzo pour homme in my opinion – dancing precariously between the toilet cleaner / shower gel summer fragrance category. Maybe my nose is a bit too undeveloped in the maturity stakes, but this is quite easily replicated by Lynx / Axe shower gels and deoderants and i smell no quality here. Sorry. On the other hand, if you’ve no time to shower, or no shower gel to hand, this stuff will do the trick, no problem!
lizardnick – :
this is clean, fresh, a chypre, and IMHO overpriced. but i enjoy it! it’s sporty, sexy, modern, clean–but the mental block i have with it is tuberose [which i love] is a cold wet floral smell to me, and cardamom [which i also love] is a hot dry spicy/herbal smell to me. and so every now and then i’m thinking, “oh isn’t this interesting how the tuberose works in a masculine chypre structure, it’s atypical, it’s neat and weird”–and then the cardamom comes up and smells medicinal like noxzema and wrecks it for me. for me there’s something irreconcilable about tuberose and cardamom. other than that it is nice, fresh–and if you want a lot cheaper version that’s a little rougher and fruitier–not so refined or tennis-feeling–try david beckham urban homme.
sviatoslav – :
Here’s my rating for this fragrance
Scent: 9/10
Projection: 8/10
Longevity: 7/10
So, the smell of this fragrance is awesome, good job lacoste for the great scent, the scent is very fresh, clean and very pleasing though this fragrance had a good scent the problem is, on my skin it doesn’t project that much like a 1-2 hours the projection length is like arm length then after that the scent wouldn’t project that much. The longevity on this fragrance is bad, on my skin it last only 4 hours.

I got this as a gift a while back. It really smells just like Febreze. It has that Fabric softner, Fresh linen vibe to it, only bottled in white for $60 bucks. Longevitiy and Projection is really bad. I get about 45min – 1 hr projection, and 2-3hrs longevity being mostly skin scent. I give this a 6/10 Rating.

My favourite scent for so many reasons…most especially because it is an alluring scent without being penetrating. It is unambiguously masculine while still soft and slightly sweet.

This is really one of my favorite fragrances. I’ve gone through 3 bottles and think this is perfect scent for everyday use.

This is one of my favorite clean scents. It does sit close to the skin with a slight sillage but that’s ok with me. My wife loves it and I get complements in the office from the lady’s and a couple a guys.
If your looking for something fresh that will give you decent longevity I would highly suggest this. Can be picked up most places now and I see it at Ross from time to time around $35 to $40

This is a great summer frag to have in your collection. Out of all the Lacoste bottles in this series, this one is by far the best, almost so good I recommend blind buy would be safe. You will not offend anyone and it’s perfect for warm weather. This is all relevant if you like very sweet and refreshing frags. The only downfall is its power.
Scent 9.5/10
Longevity 5/10
Projection 6/10
Would recommend to carry a decant.

Fresh linens, non-offensive classic scent. Perfect for work.
Not going to wow you, but for what it offers if you can’t decide what to wear and just want to smell fresh in a subtle way, this is a great pick. No nonsense release from Lacoste.

After having been recommended this by two beautiful girls in two different perfume stores on different occasions I decided to give it a try and bought it. I can say I find it ideal for summer as it has a pretty refreshing quality to it, thinking it would have a hard time offending anyone. A family member who is quite picky
