L.12.12 Blanc Eau Fraîche Eau de Toilette For Him
by Lacoste Fragrances
L.12.12 Blanc Eau Fraîche opens with a vibrant blend of grapefruit, lemon, and ginger, offering a bright, crisp, and refreshing experience that feels clean and invigorating. The middle notes of apple, lavender, and juniper add a subtle aromatic sweetness, while the drydown reveals a soft, creamy woodiness with vetiver and ambroxan that lingers lightly without overpowering. The scent is well-balanced and unassuming—neither overly bold nor generic, making it a crowd-pleasing fragrance suitable for both casual and athletic settings during spring and summer. It performs reliably with moderate duration and moderate sillage, though longevity is not strong, especially past five hours.
