L.12.12. White Lacoste for men

One of my most favorite scents. Worse longevity ever. Bummer.

It's a very clean floral scent.

Lacoste Blanc is the best fragrance in the house of Lacoste. I used to favor Lacoste Essentials more.
Because I usually favor fresh/clean scents, so this is a big plus.
The scent is linear, but I definitely don't get tired of it at all. However, I can see why some don't like it. This scent can be too strong for some.
Because of the leather and suede notes, it may not be for some. The citrus notes helps balance it out.
It's a versatile fragrance that can be worn year round. However, I wouldn't use this as a signature scent, and I wouldn't recommend it during the hot summer days. This is definitely a masculine scent.

I was given A sample, very nice clean scent, wore it 4 or 5 times now. I will not buy this, it's just to feminine for me. Kind of boring as well, very linear.

8/10 Just not for me.

12.12 White is what happens when a company decides to flaunt laundry musk as an ingredient by gussying it up with other pretty aromatics, and calling it a perfume. Indeed, it smells wonderful, full of bright citrus (nondescript to my nose, although I do get more of a grapefruit vibe), freshly-cut rosemary and thyme, a touch of patchouli, and warm cardamom, all around the whitest laundry musk imaginable. I agree with other reviewers who have compared this to clean laundry, like bringing a line of shirts in after a few hours of country breezes. My only problem is that white laundry musk is a fairly common element in contemporary fragrance, and there's no "wow factor" here. All the same, not a bad go by Lacoste, and certainly better than its marketing suggests.

Blanc is best amongst the three, this new released resemble the famous polo shirt,very easy going and casual yet defines a character that wears it.
Although soft, well balanced notes, the end bit is subtle.
I think this is like montblanc legend, not similar but how it's react to the skin on tropical country

i bought one..the smell is nice..and longevity is OK

Today I went to the perfume zone in department store and one sexy guy who is an assistant of Lacoste gimme the testing paper of this perfume.

The first time I smell it I'm like, 'OMG..this is how my dream boy would smell' LOL
and when I noticed that sexy assistant also wear this perfume. It drove me crazy! Haha

This perfume is very fresh, attractive, sexy, light but not too strong. It reminds me of the cute guy who is funny and love to smile.
Ah...I'd like to smell this perfume over and over again!
I really wanna be around someone who is wearing it XD

I'm not sure about the lasting power b/c I just smell it on the lesting paper. But who's care?! This perfume smells so incredibly gorgeous!

I HAVE MORE THAN 50 BRANDS IN MY CLOUSET, THIS Z DA BEST !
can be described as vanilla, very fresh ,clean , little sweet and unique

Beauty, so fresh! Lacoste Essential smells good but this is better.

Tried this out, and the longevity was pretty poor, 3 hours tops. Severely overpriced, typical lacoste, just like there clothing. I mostly get a clean coconut vibe from this scent, hence the colour of the bottle i guess :) Reasonable smelling fragrance all in all, nothing to get all hyped about.

Too similar to Jesus del Pozo quasar, but twice expensive too bad

nothing special...
just like ordinary detergent...
but the good thing....lots of compliment for both male and female...
so im using it every now then ...
doesnt last long for me so i need to spray it often...

I lost my virginity to this perfume!! Jk but my girlfriends always tells me to wear it when we go out

A summer gift for young generation. Quite lively and decent smell. Clean and fresh would be most appropriate to say. Not offensive at all, no spices or any synthatic touch, just a vibe of freshness. Thank you Lacoste....

This is the best "fresh and clean" fragrance I have smelled in years. This is my new spring/summer signature scent, the bottle also looks really good and clean enough to display. The price is also decent for what your getting, in my opinion its the best of the 3 new Lacoste fragrances.

Very pleasent scent during summer. perfect during sunny days and when your wearing a polo shirt and jeans shorts.

Very nice.It has a soft freshness side also you can diffently smell the fruits in this colonge.Not freakn bad!!

On seeing the press release for these three and reading their "notes", I was excited (and amazed) that they had included TUBEROSE and YLANG in a manscent! I just KNEW this would be "the one" for me...

I also found it strangely apropos that the GREEN and BLUE bottles were translucent and the one for WHITE was opaque. Where the other two were modern and very sheer, WHITE is a bit more substantial and impressive (to me anyway) and I can see myself getting a FB of this...as soon as it comes to the little college town I live in, with it's one "high-end" department store and Fragrance Counter!

This opens with a wonderful WHOOSH of freshly-cut citrus, aromatic greens and sexy spice! Despite the listed "grapefruit", to my nose, it resembles more orange or mandarin; as it is not all that bitter-zesty, but tartly sweet. Add cardamom's smooth warmth, laid over the sharp pungent rosemary and you get something that is simultaneously warm, refreshing and invigorating! Despite what you may think the combination of ylang and tuberose would result in (something thick, lushly sweet and somewhat heady, leaning towards dusty or "naughty") WHITE becomes something that has gorgeous florals in it, but does not let only these things alone define it. The flowery undertones are sweet and airy with an utterly "comfy" feeling vibe, not unlike (as Grottola and Anup have said) fresh, crisp laundry just dried outside and brought in from a clothesline. Sunny warmth and softness, without being wimpy or actually smelling like fabric softener, how truly wonderful! The drydown has the warm woodiness of cedar, calmed by suede and very soft leather accord that (to me anyway) smells more like linen, rather than either of those animal skin-based aromas. Very pleasant, quite unexpected and a definite winner from the House of LACOSTE! This will be great for Spring or Summer, but also for sunny Autumn days. I cannot wait to try this (from the bottle, with a real sprayer) as soon as I can...

Sillage: very good
Longevity: above average
Overall: 4.25/5

I love it when a "for him" scent includes flowers, but are not ALL flowers. Some of us guys are not afraid to have a softer side, and are actually proud of it. L.12.12 WHITE is just such a scent...masculine (for the most part) and, like a well-rounded man, more than the sum of its parts. If I had to choose JUST ONE Eau de Lacoste scent from the trio, this (without any doubt in my mind) would be the "one"! Some women may enjoy this as well. This is a TRUE breath of fresh air (for men, at least) among a wave of all the aquatic, sporty and fresh scents, so prevalent these days. WHITE stands (head and shoulders) above the rest!

I like this one. It's very similar to CK's Eternity Summer 2005. I find the longevity is OK. I can smell violet in the drydown. A very good fresh summer fragrance for men.

Initially fresh and laid back, less pungent than others but still has strength of character

Lasts 2 hours..Shame so not worth paying money for it, if it lasted longer then this would be great

frech, i think it should be a good style in summer

To me it is a more pleasant take on Lanvin L'Homme Sport

This one I actually like. It's a fresh 'n' clean musk/coumarin/lavender fragrance that smells like fresh laundry, but it has a "fun" side to it. I probably wouldn't purchase this, but it's still pleasant.

To me it smells almost identical with Lanvin Homme Sport and that's the scent I truly like. It's flowery and mellow, it's woody and fresh. And wow, it contains suede and leather, too! Still, the idea of having a bottle with the Lacoste croc has never really appealed to me.

I did try this and will give it a pass.lol....the smell is nothing ground breaking at least to my nose.smells a lot like a few i cant quickly remember.will be good for some but it just doesnt justify the hefty price tag it's going for now -42pounds-unless i consider the sport bag they throwing in as a promotional offer.as has been said before,longevity is average.not sure if it's really ok for the mature man but i think there are better ones out there.anyway u can give it a try

The new Lacoste Trio surprised me positively, especially blue and this one. I fell in love with Lacoste Blanc at first smell: the scent is pure and tender, a bit woody, but mostly flowery. The feeling of out-of-the-wash Lacoste polo is noticeable (so this one can be named Lacoste Laundry like some fragrances from niche brands). The scent reminds of Camay classical bar soap, maybe more leathery and citrusy. A real unisex perfume to my mind.

The sillage is good, the longevity is average.

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

This fragrance reminds me of Jean Paul Gautier Fleur du Mâle in both bottle color and scent itself though there are no common notes. Lacoste White smells very woody thanks to its suede and cedar being quite strong in this juice.

Try, buy or pass: I'd say TRY :D

Cheers,
