Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 Yellow (Jaune) by Lacoste Fragrances
I always give Lacoste fragrances a go but I don't really know why? I mean lets face it, most of them are either horrendous, just cheap or don't perform well...and the majority have all three of these characteristics. I think it's due to my unwavering love of Eau de Lacoste Blanc which I absolutely adore and think is a masterpiece among boring 'fresh' designer scents. So I've been awaiting this Yellow one (and the purple one which hasn't dropped yet)and it really didn't disappoint. I'm not sure whether I'm loosing my mind but this is actually really nice. It's got that average designer citrus opening but then no saltiness, no horrid calone note, no cloying sweetness or annoying bandwagon notes like tonka bean... Pretty much no 'fakery' (rather than synthetic...ness) at all! It's remarkable it just seems like a pleasant smelling summery fresh fragrance to me. Maybe a little base of woods and hint of pink pepper and ginger but nothing overt. I could've sworn I got a hint of floral maybe ylang or tuberose from my beloved blanc, it definitely shares a pinch of the soothing ice lolly quality. I only tried it once on the back of my hand so I will have to return to it but all in all I'd say not a bad job by Lacoste. Minor criticism still wasn't good in the longevity department.
