Is L.12.12 Blanc good for summer?

Yes. Its fresh grapefruit opening and light base suit hot weather. It stays close to the skin, so expect to reapply later in the day.

How long does it last?

As an eau de toilette it is moderate. Many owners get a few hours before it fades, and it projects weakly after the opening.

Does it smell floral?

Somewhat. Tuberose and ylang-ylang give it a creamy floral heart, softened by cedar and leather. It is cleaner and soapier than a heavy floral.

Is it the same as L.12.12 Blanc pour Homme?

Yes. L.12.12 Blanc is the white edition of the L.12.12 line, launched in 2011, and is the fresh, clean member of the range.

It is marketed to men, but the fresh citrus and floral notes are unisex enough that some women wear it too.

A single bottle of Lacoste L.12.12 Blanc eau de toilette. No travel size or extras are included.

Our take on the LACOSTE L.12.12 BLANC 5.9 EDT SP FOR MEN

Lacoste L.12.12 Blanc is a men's eau de toilette launched in 2011, built around fresh grapefruit, creamy tuberose and ylang-ylang, with cedar and leather in the base. It is a clean, crisp, slightly floral fresh scent that suits warm weather and everyday wear. Compared with heavier woody or oriental colognes, it is light and easy to wear, though that lightness means it fades faster than stronger eau de parfums. Owners rate it highly for its fresh, soapy cleanliness and versatility.
