The story behind the bottle.
Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 Eau Fraîche, launched in 2018 and crafted by perfumer Richard Ibanez, is a fresh and aromatic aquatic fragrance that channels the brand's French heritage and crisp elegance. The composition opens with lemon and limoncello, bringing a bright and refreshing citrus note, followed by water notes and green accords that evoke a sense of cool freshness. As it develops, woody and patchouli elements add depth, while musk provides a subtle warmth, creating a well-rounded scent that is both modern and lasting.
Apply this fragrance liberally to your pulse points for a long-lasting effect. The citrus notes are prominent initially but fade into a warm woody base over time. It's best worn during cooler parts of the day when the fresh aquatic elements shine through without becoming overpowering.
