A solid, versatile woody-aromatic that flies under the radar. It's an easy grab when you want to smell good without shouting about it.

Our Verdict - Croc Attract EDP
Croc Attract copies Lacoste L.12.12 Magnetic Pour Lui - the same energetic juniper-bamboo freshness drying down to warm patchouli and amber. The original already fades fast, and this budget version is lighter and flatter still, best treated as an easy daytime splash.
