Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Laguna
This 90s cult classic is a divisive little number. For some, it's a nostalgic trip to a creamy, fruity paradise; for others, a harsh, synthetic nightmare. Definitely not a blind buy unless you thrive on controversy.

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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Laguna

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate sillage and skin-scent dry down make it suitable for casual wear or even a lighter office application. The fruity-tropical accords are perfect for relaxed settings, though its unique, sometimes polarising character might be too much for formal events.

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.
