de Lacoste L.12.12. White

Lacoste de Lacoste L.12.12. White is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2011. The fragrance opens with Rosemary, Cardamom, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Ylang-Ylang and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Leather, Suede, Vetiver, and Cedar.

Our verdict on de Lacoste L.12.12. White: Favourite

This one's a divisive freshie. While many adore its clean, white floral and grapefruit blend as a perfect budget warm-weather scent, others find it generic, synthetic, and disappointing with truly abysmal performance - a real love-it-or-hate-it affair.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and inoffensive profile makes it perfect for gym, casual wear, and especially the office where subtlety is key. The poor longevity and projection mentioned by many reviews mean it won't offend in close quarters, but also won't stand out for a formal event or a date.

About

L.12.12. White dives in with a zesty, almost creamy grapefruit punch, cleverly spiced by cardamom and a hint of herbal rosemary. As it settles, a smooth, creamy yellow floral heart emerges with ylang-ylang and tuberose, lending a somewhat sweet, 'laundry fresh' feel. The base offers a soft suede, grounding the florals with subtle woods and vetiver, though often it's too fleeting to truly appreciate the depth.
