Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - de Lacoste L.12.12 Pour Elle Sparkling EDT
This perfume is a sweet, playful crowd-pleaser for those who love gourmands, but its fleeting nature is a real drawback. Prepare to reapply often, as reviews consistently highlight abysmal longevity despite the charming aroma.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Rose Oud EDP
Divisive at first, this one's a real 'wait for the dry-down' scent. Initial blasts can be jarring, but patience rewards you with a genuinely delicious, sophisticated jammy rose that's worth the journey. Not for the faint of heart or the impatient.

Season and Occasion Fit

de Lacoste L.12.12 Pour Elle Sparkling

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its light sillage and generally poor longevity make it suitable for close-contact settings like the office or date nights, where it won't overwhelm. The sweet, casual gourmand profile is perfect for everyday wear and surprisingly recommended by some for gym use due to its freshness, but it's generally too playful for formal events.

Rose Oud

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

With its strong projection and rich, sweet profile, this scent is a bit much for the office. It truly shines on dates and formal occasions, where its opulent, seductive character can make a lasting impression. While too heavy for sport, it can be a cozy, luxurious choice for casual evenings or cooler weather.
