Lacoste Perfumes
Lacoste Perfume For Men & Women
Watermelon and dark chocolate. Grapefruit and suede. Rose and mint. You might not expect these scents from a company that sells polo shirts. But they all feature in Lacoste perfumes.
L.12.12 Noir combines watermelon, basil and dark chocolate. L.12.12 Blanc Eau de Toilette uses grapefruit, cardamom and suede. L.12.12 Rose has green mandarin, mint and rose.
There are also Match Point, Lacoste Original and other variations of L.12.12. Buy Lacoste perfumes for men and women online at ScentRepublic. Compare the available fragrances, bottle sizes and prices in South Africa.
Lacoste Perfume In A White Bottle
Eau de Toilette or Eau de Parfum? Most people will recognise the white Lacoste bottle with the small crocodile on the front. L.12.12 Blanc Eau de Toilette uses grapefruit and cardamom. Tuberose, ylang-ylang, vetiver and suede round out the scent.
Grapefruit adds citrus, cardamom brings spice, and suede has a soft leather-like smell. L.12.12 Blanc Eau de Parfum also comes in a white bottle, but the notes are different.
It uses caviar lemon and cardamom. Pine and eucalyptus give it an aromatic, woody feel, with cedarwood and balsam fir at the base. If you're replacing a bottle of Blanc, check whether you need Eau de Toilette or Eau de Parfum.
Lacoste Perfume That Smells Of Watermelon
Watermelon isn't a note you might expect in a men's perfume. What about dark chocolate? Lacoste L.12.12 Noir Eau de Toilette contains both.
It starts with watermelon and basil. Lavender and verbena follow, then dark chocolate and cashmeran. Watermelon adds a fresh, watery smell. Basil brings a green quality, while dark chocolate gives it a darker edge.
If you're choosing between Blanc EDT and Noir, they take different directions. One has citrus, florals and suede. The other combines watermelon, aromatic notes and chocolate.
Lacoste Rose Perfume For Women
Lacoste also sell women's perfumes in the L.12.12 range. L.12.12 Rose Eau de Parfum contains green mandarin and mint alongside rose, musk, cedarwood and Ambrox.
Mint gives the rose fragrance a fresh feel. L.12.12 Rose Eau Fraîche is more citrusy. Blood orange and grapefruit open the scent, followed by pink pepper and an ozonic accord. Blackcurrant and cedarwood finish it off. An ozonic accord creates a fresh, clean impression. When choosing between these two, consider whether you prefer rose or citrus.
Lacoste Rose Sparkling
L.12.12 Rose Sparkling Eau de Toilette has mandarin, apple and macaron, alongside candy floss and lily of the valley. Patchouli and vetiver form the base. This is different from Rose Eau Fraîche. If you enjoy sweet-smelling perfumes, Rose Sparkling may suit you.
Lacoste Match Point
Lacoste Match Point Eau de Toilette is named after a tennis term. But it's the notes that help you decide whether to buy it.
Basil and pink pepper open the fragrance. Gentian and clary sage follow, with vetiver finishing it off. Gentian has a slightly bitter, green smell. If you're looking for a men's perfume without much sweetness, Match Point could be an option.
Lacoste Original
Lacoste Original Eau de Parfum has a more traditional aromatic scent. Bergamot and pink pepper open the fragrance. Lavender and clary sage follow, then sandalwood, patchouli and tonka bean.
Lavender adds an aromatic quality, while sandalwood and tonka bean bring warmth. Compare it with Match Point. Match Point focuses on basil, gentian and sage, whereas Original combines lavender, spice and woods.
If you're buying a gift for someone who enjoys classic aromatic men's fragrances, Original is one to consider.
