The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2011, Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 Green by Lacoste Fragrances is a harmonious blend of crisp citrus and aromatic notes, balanced with hints of smoky leather and woody undertones. The fragrance opens with bright, zesty accords that give way to a heart of lavender and fresh spices, creating an invigorating contrast. As the composition settles, it reveals a base of warm woods and subtle leather, grounding the scent in earthy sophistication.
Two sprays are ideal — this moderate sillage fragrance builds on skin without projecting too far. It's best for daytime wear when its fresh and earthy notes complement both casual and professional settings.
