Lacoste Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 Pour Elle French Panache is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2019, created by Sophie Labbé. Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 Pour Elle French Panache opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Champagne Rosé, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Woody, Musk, and Patchouli. Lacoste's Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 Pour Elle French Panache carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

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.

About

This one bursts open with a sparkling, fizzy hit of champagne rosé, brightened by zesty bergamot and a juicy blackcurrant tang. A playful kick of pink pepper adds a subtle spice, while delicate rose and jasmine emerge, balancing the fruity exuberance. The dry-down settles into a warm, earthy blend of patchouli, soft musk, and woody notes, giving it an unexpected depth.
