Lacoste L.12.12 Silver Grey is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025. L.12.12 Silver Grey opens with Frankincense and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Lavender and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Vetiver and Ambroxan. Lacoste's L.12.12 Silver Grey carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a proper mixed bag. Some think it's a pleasant, easy-wearing crowd-pleaser, while others find it generic, even a bit sweaty. If you're after something groundbreaking, look elsewhere, but for an uncomplicated freshie, it might just do the trick.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

L.12.12 Silver Grey opens with a sharp, juicy burst of tangerine, quickly joined by the distinct, slightly peppery lift of frankincense. The heart mellows into a classic aromatic blend of clean lavender and green geranium. As it dries, a modern base of vetiver and ambroxan comes through, offering an earthy, musky warmth that underpins the fresh opening.
