Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - de Lacoste L.12.12 Pour Elle EDT
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.

Our Verdict - Luz de Amburana EDT
This is a juicy, mouthwatering scent that brings a tropical holiday vibe without being a screechy fruit cocktail. It's a crowd-pleaser that'll have folks asking what you're wearing.

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.

Luz de Amburana

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its bright, sweet, and tropical nature makes it ideal for casual outings and dates, bringing a fun, flirty energy. While not overtly formal, the amber-vanilla dry down gives it enough warmth for evening events, though it might be too vibrant for a very buttoned-up office or sports setting.
