Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with this Lacoste L.12.12 Blanc Eau Fraiche for a bit now, and I gotta say, it’s been a ride. I’m not really into fancy stuff, but I figured, why not give this a shot, right?

First off, I saw some folks talking about this stuff online. They said it’s got that “sporty” vibe, inspired by those Lacoste polo shirts everyone knows. I thought, “Alright, let’s see what this is all about.” I decided to wear it for a good week to really get a feel for it.
The first time I sprayed it, I did the usual thing – you know, hit the neck, chest, wrists. It’s pretty straightforward. Nothing too complicated there. You just let it dry a bit before you put on your clothes. Simple enough.
- Day 1: Sprayed it on, went outside. It’s hot here, not quite Dallas hot, but still. I noticed the scent was there, not too strong, which is good. I hate when it’s too much.
- Day 2: Tried it again, mostly stayed indoors this time. The smell seemed to last a bit longer when I was inside, which makes sense, I guess.
- Day 3: Back outside. It was a bit of a scorcher, and yeah, the scent didn’t seem to stick around as long. Still, it was there for a few hours at least.
- Day 4 through 7: I kept at it, just to see if anything changed. Honestly, it was pretty much the same story each day. Outside, it lasted maybe 3-4 hours. Inside, maybe an hour more.
So, after a week of this, here’s the deal: It’s a decent scent. Nothing too fancy, but it does the job. If you’re into that whole “woody aromatic” thing, this is probably right up your alley. It’s bold, I’ll give it that, and it does kind of remind you of those Lacoste shirts.
My two cents?
If you’re looking for something that’s not going to knock people out when you walk by, this is a good pick. It’s got that sporty feel, and it’s not going to break the bank. Would I wear it every day? Probably not. But for those days when you want something a bit different, it’s a solid choice. It’s like that reliable friend you don’t see all the time, but when you do, it’s always a good time. Yeah, that’s about it. This is my experience with this Lacoste thing. Take it for what it’s worth.
