The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2015, Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 Pour Elle Sparkling by Harry Frémont is a gourmand floral fragrance that marries the bright freshness of red apple and mandarin orange with the indulgence of cotton candy and macarons. The heart introduces a touch of lily-of-the-valley, adding a delicate floral sweetness before settling into a base of musk, vetiver, cashmere wood, and patchouli for an enduring warmth. This composition is designed to evoke the carefree spirit of a modern woman.
This fragrance blooms best when applied to pulse points like wrists and neck. The cotton candy top notes are fleeting but impactful, so layering it with a light spritz on clothing can extend its presence throughout the day.
