L.12.12 Blanc Pure by Lacoste Review
Description
Lacoste’s L.12.12 Blanc is easy to wear, just like the classic polo shirts of the French company. It can initially smell like many other fruity fragrances available in the market for men, but feeling familiar is not an issue because it is among the most well-made of its kind. The smell is clean and slightly sweet, partly because of the interesting combination of notes which include tuberose and ylang ylang with vetiver and cedar, and is perhaps worn best on warmer days. Although sillage is average, moderation is key in applying the Lacoste fragrance because it can easily overwhelm.

If the perfume bottle of L.12.12 Blanc reminds you of Lacoste’s iconic polo shirts, then that is because it is the inspiration for the scent. Blanc is just one of the fragrances in the series, which also includes Bleu, Vert, Rouge and Noir. Released in 2011, the fresh and fruity L.12.12 Blanc still remains in production. Its ingredients include rosemary, grapefruit, cardamom, tuberose, cedar leaf, ylang ylang, cedarwood, olibanum, vetiver and georgywood.
