Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - de Lacoste L.12.12 Pour Elle
A divisive scent for the young and sweet-toothed, this one splits opinion. Some find it a refreshing, easy-to-wear tropical delight, others dismiss it as fleeting, synthetic, and frankly, a bit childish. If you like fruity candies, you might just love it.
Favourite
Our Verdict - VIP Private Show
A delightful fruit bomb, VIP Private Show is candy in a bottle - juicy, sweet, and undeniably fun. While some find it a bit generic, fans love its uplifting vibe, especially for warmer days. Don't expect groundbreaking complexity, just pure, unapologetic sweetness.

Season and Occasion Fit

de Lacoste L.12.12 Pour Elle

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its low projection and poor longevity make it suitable for office wear, as it won't offend. The fresh and fruity accords also lend themselves well to casual and sport settings, despite some finding it too sweet for active wear. It lacks the sophistication for formal events and the impact for a memorable date.
