The story behind the bottle.
Lacoste Fragrances launched L.12.12 Blanc Eau Intense in 2023, crafted by perfumers Delphine Lebeau and Jean-Christophe Hérault. This aromatic woody spicy fragrance opens with mandarin orange and turmeric, creating a zesty yet warm contrast that sets the stage for its heart notes of lavender and clary sage. The base notes of vetiver, sandalwood, and leather add depth and a subtle earthiness, making this composition both uplifting and grounding.
Apply one or two sprays to ensure the mandarin and turmeric top notes are noticeable initially. The base notes develop gradually over time, so it’s best worn in a setting where you can appreciate its evolving character throughout the day.
