The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2023 by Lacoste Fragrances and crafted by perfumers Caroline Dumur and Fanny Bal, L.12.12. Rose Eau Intense is a fragrance that balances the warmth of rose with powdery and woody elements. The composition opens with the brightness of white tea and mandarin orange before settling into a heart of rose and cotton flower. This floral bouquet is supported by a musky base of iris, sandalwood, and cedar, creating an enveloping warmth that feels both intimate and sophisticated.

How to wear it

Apply L.12.12. Rose Eau Intense in light layers, focusing on pulse points for maximum impact. The mandarin orange and white tea top notes are fleeting, but the rose and woody base develops over time, making it better suited to daytime wear where you can appreciate its evolving character.
