L.12.12. Green Lacoste for men

I just finished it 2 days ago , all i can say that it is nice & clean but my humble opinion till now that the Red is much better Scent , Sillage , Projection & longevity on my skin.
P.S. i started the White Now & when im done ,I will write my review 2 Compare !!!!

Fresh and green, a bit dry. The fig, melon and grapefruit are prominent so I guess this fragrance could be classified as "fruity" but it's not very sweet. There's a slight "grass clippings" accord going on in here as well.

A fresh and green fragrance which is completely boring and generic, without any character and It doesn't worth buying at all!
At the opening you can smell huge dose of lavender and citrusy notes plus some green and some fruity notes in the background. lavender and sharp and almost salty aquatic citrusy notes are the main player in the opening and green and fruity notes are in the background. you need to search for it.
In the dry down lavender start to decay and sharp salty citrusy note become stronger. it's very sharp and salty mid. so if you don't like these type of fragrances you will hate it!
In the base, that sharp salty smell settle down a little bit and you can smell semi sweet fruity scent which is in the background.
Projection is average and longevity is around 3-4 hours.
Save your money!
یه عطر متوسط با بوی خنک و تند و تیز شاداب با حس سبز که بوش بدک نیست اما به هیچ وجه ارزش خرید نداره به نظر من
رایحه ابتدایی این عطرترکیب بوی قوی گل لاوندر هست با یه بوی مرکباتی و تند وتیز که این ترکیب رو بوی خیلی ضعیفی از رایحه میوه ای و رایحه های سبز و گیاهی همراهی میکنن
بوی مرکباتی تند و تیز و حسی شبیه به بوی شور داره و بینی رو تا حدودی میسوزونه
در ادامه بوی گل لاوندر شروع میکنه به ضعیف شدن و بوی تند و تیز و شور مانند قویتر میشه
شما این بو رو دارین تا اینکه بعد از گذشت حدود 1 ساعت رایحه پایه خودشو نشون میده
بوش شور و تند و تیز کمی آروم میشه و شما حالا میتونین یه بوی ضعیف و نسبتا شیرین میوه ای حس کنین که البته بدلیل بوی تندو تیز مرکباتی در حاشیه قرار داره و فقط میشه حسش کرد و خیلی قوی نیست
پخش بوی این عطر خیلی معمولی رو به ضعیفه و ماندگاری در حد 3-4 ساعت بیشتر نداره
شخصا خرید این عطر رو پیشنهاد نمیکنم چون هیچ چیز خاصی نداره

Basicly a plain boring scent with birch and a little sweetness this time. Its very much like Lacoste Essential and D&G Light Blue PH mixed together, smells convincing the first time on a paper, but shows a different face on skin. The intensive lemon verbena scent makes it very uncomfortable. Even if you can survive these harsh herbal green notes, its too average to spend money on.
You're better off buying those two mentioned or Versace Eau Fraiche if you really want a citrus aromatic/aquatic.

I bought this fragrance for my dadders. It's clean, herbal, and light. Me and my mom both really like it. My dad isn't much of a fragrance man, so I think it makes a good gift to someone who doesn't wear cologne so often or doesn't like heavy scents. Someone who just wants to smell nice and doesn't want to think too hard about it. The citrus is really strong in it, there is a freshness like cut grass. I know this scent seems to be unpopular with most guys here, but I do like it. There's been complaints about the lasting power, and I'll have you know I wouldn't buy an EDT that won't last more than 2 hours :P. Lasts about 4-5.
Okay so, it's not really so manly, but my dad isn't so manly, he acts silly and likes to sing songs about macaroni noodles.
In a way I also kind of bought it for my mom, because she really loves lavender and has been complaining my dad is stinky from riding horses at the barn too often...lol. Now if only we could get him to remember to change his pants after he rides...

before i bought it, obviously i came here to read some comments and notes. i thoght: it seems to smells very nice: has melon, black fig (as Dune has)and it was enough for me to try it up. But... no. It's not ugly, it's not a bad scent, but i just get a little dissapointed, i think those raw material can be work togheter a little bit better than they actualy does. 2/5

love this stuff, fresh,clean and simple. 4 out of 5 . for everyday summer using. one of the best summer-perfume on market.

i put this on @ 7pm and i could still smell it @ 2pm! amazing longevity if applied liberaly.

I just think everyone buys the fragances they like, I have this L1212 green, it is special for me, I love that smell and people around me tell me always, " you smell so good man".

If you
re on here wondering what this fragrance smells like or reminds you of, its baby wipes. And yes i tested this, took a baby wipe and wiped it on one wrist, sprayed this on the other. *sniff, sniff* "Wait which was which again" The smell is VERY similar to the wipes, slight differences(mainly the citrus), Wouldn't pay 40$ for it but it is pleasing to the nose.

12.12 Green opens with a pungent blast of lemon and bergamot, given chase by heady thyme and lemon verbena notes, which lend the earlier stage of the scent some herbal greenness - with quite a snap! As it dries down, a dry and very clean wood note (presumably birch) appears, followed by something fizzy, which reminds me of pickled ginger. Lavender asserts itself intermittently as the pyramid devolves into a bright laundry musk base. The thyme and verbena are most prominent, and together with the birch create a "new pine" accord that reminds me of a Christmas juniper wreath. The birch, which persistently mingles with equally-persistent bergamot, develops a kind of church pew smell, with hints of sweet incense burnt into the wood. 12.12 Green/"Vert" is not exactly my kind of green, but well made and worthy of consideration, particularly for the younger crowd.

smells like comin out of a shower .. i would take it even if it was free .. the white lacoste labeled as "pure" is the best .. the blue "Powerful" also is great smells fresh ..


id go with the white and blue .. those are hott ..

On receiving the PR for these scents, I immediately assumed three things: WHITE would be the best, GREEN would be "fresh and grassy", and BLUE would be "sporty". I was not TOO far off...

LACOSTE L.12.12. Green's notes are listed (the only one of the three) linearly, and now I see why. This begins with the bright freshness of citruses (bergamot and grapefruits) and a melon note that takes the bitterness away, without too much sweetness; resulting in a well-blended (albeit common) accord. The "green" comes in when the thyme (subtle aromatic herb) and verbena (lemony and verdant) combine with a soft warm lavender, more of the soapy type than floral. The birch (bark, I am assuming) adds a minty woodiness to this alongside a slight dry fruitiness that (according to the notelist) I can only assume is fig. It really does not "project" all that much, but it does last pretty well, though remains VERY close to the skin.

Sillage: close
Longevity: average
Overall: 3/5

All things considered, this is a very nice scent, unassuming and perfect for Spring and early Summer. Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 Green is not that spectacular, but for the retail price...I would say it's a safe buy for those who want to smell "good", but not overpower or offend. A re-issue of Essential? I think not. It does favor BIG PONY 3 (more than Essential) with its green nuances and herbal and woody feeling. I do like the idea that the polo shirts come in many colors (and styles) so the scents should too. What is next L.12.12 orange? purple? Maybe PINK?!? I would like that...

NB: For anyone who is interested, the Lacoste website will mail you single use sample wipes of all three L.12.12 fragrances, if you e-mail them!

Initially smelss fresh and clean

Lasts 2 hours only

Same as so many other smells, has no character of its own

Waste of money

Grapefruit and patchouli. Smells like every other "fresh" masculine fragrance released in the past 2 years.

Dislike.

As far as the 3 brand-new Lacoste.12.12 fragrances go, I'd say this is my least favourite.

IMHO, I find Lacoste.12.12 GREEN being almost a clone of Lacoste Essential rather than Lacoste.12.12 Blue.

Try, buy or pass: I'd say TRY or even pass if you know how the Essential smelss :D

Cheers,

12.12.Green is the worst out of the new Lacoste trio, it is incomparable with the wonderful White and masculine classy Blue. Lacoste Green smells like one of the RL Big Pony fragrances - synthetical and cheap. It is citrusy and a bit grassy, but the combination of these cheap ingridients is not well thought-out.
