The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2014, Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 Blanc Limited Edition is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for men that marries crisp citrus notes with warm leather and rich woods. The composition opens with the brightness of grapefruit and rosemary before transitioning into cardamom and cedar needles, creating a dynamic tension between freshness and warmth. At its heart, ylang-ylang and tuberose add a subtle floral touch, while virginian cedar and vetiver ground it in a woody base enhanced by leather and suede notes.
This fragrance has a strong initial citrus burst that fades within an hour. To make the most of it, apply two sprays to ensure the woody base notes have time to emerge. Ideal for daytime wear when you want a fresh yet warm presence.
