The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016 by Lacoste Fragrances, Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 Energized is a fresh spicy and aromatic fougère that captures the essence of modern masculinity. The fragrance opens with an invigorating blend of ginger and mint, creating a sharp contrast against the heart note of tuberose, which adds a subtle floral warmth. Vetiver in the base grounds this composition with earthy undertones, ensuring it remains fresh throughout the day without losing its complexity.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for maximum impact. The ginger and mint top notes are bright but fleeting, so a slightly heavier application ensures that the warm tuberose and earthy vetiver base notes have time to develop fully. Best suited for daytime wear, where its fresh spicy character can shine without overpowering.
