Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - On a Date EDT
A sparkling, juicy ode to vineyard romance, On a Date is all ripe fruit and fresh blooms, anchored by a mossy, earthy base that flirts with sophistication while keeping things lighthearted and modern.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 Pour Elle French Panache EDT
A divisive little number, French Panache swings from 'uplifting' summer hit to 'fruit cocktail nonsense'. While some find it sophisticated and unique, others dismiss it as a 'throwaway fruity musk fluff'. Expect a sparkling, juicy opening with a spicy kick, drying down to a patchouli-heavy woody base.

Season and Occasion Fit

On a Date

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer

The juicy blackcurrant, rose, and aromatic herbal notes shine in spring and fall, echoing vineyard air and soft sunlight. Its fruity-floral heart and mild woody base are less suited to the extremes of hot summer or cold winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Romantic, approachable, and gently assertive, On a Date is perfect for dates and casual social occasions. Its moderate projection and refined fruitiness make it safe for the office, but it's a touch too playful for formal or sporty contexts.

Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 Pour Elle French Panache

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its moderate projection and fruit-forward, energising profile make it a great casual and day-time scent, particularly for summer. The woody-musky dry-down and sparkling notes lend themselves to evening wear, though it might be a bit too playful for formal events.
