Well...what can I say about this one? Another classic in my book! I wore it throughout the mid to late 90's and early 2000's. I found a bottle I've rarely worn lurking in my collection from about 2004. Still potent as anything with that biting calone. It's very citrusy at first...big blast of grapefruit then it mutates into a unique accord even for a 90's aquatic Issey should out. It is just plain nice and for me never never really gets old. I find it very powerful indeed and lasts for ages, for whatever reason it garners a lot of comments and even the odd compliment. Still a winner!

I wasn't keen on this when it first came out....but decided to revisit it and now I've had it on my skin properly, I've kinda fallen for it. Just to echo the other reviews I definitely get the gorgegous tobaccoish accord, warm and quite a sexy affair. Just getting nicer and nicer as well gonna get this one. It's the kind of perfume I get the impression ladies will love on a man (probably because they'd like to nick it for themselves), definitely one for the evening too.

Fahrenheit and I have a long history...Love it now as much as I did when I first encountered its warmth. It was 1989 and it was my friends dads...been hooked ever since. I don't currently own a bottle simply because it is very powerful stuff and it's nice to have a break every now and again. I get a lot of sweet violet, honeysuckle, hawthorn, and vetiver laced leather from it...strong & beautiful and about to get revisited by me... Might try the aqua one after a hiatus from this fragrance and it's flankers. It will always be a favourite of mine. A true classic and no mistake.

Love at first sight (or sniff) is a beautiful and rare thing especially when it comes to fragrances. Usually I grow to love them over a period as they evolve on my palette...but this one was one of those rarities. I don't say this lightly and I'm by no means a refined connoisseur but I think this is my favourite fragrance ever! (Can you tell I like it?) It's weird, somehow it does evoke the spirit of the Lacoste polo shirt too.(Maybe I'm just being sucked in by the marketing bumf!) I think it's unique, super clean and fresh with just enough sweetness without being sickly. It starts out with candy sweetness and then evolves slightly into a kind of creaminess (for want of a better word!) which is just lovely! It's by no means super sophisticated but easily can be warn every day. It's not very strong and has moderate longevity but still smells amazing on my skin after 8 hours or so...even if no one else can smell it by then. A minor critique could be that it's too feminine...personally I don't subscribe to that or if it was passed my personal threshold, I wouldn't wear it. This one is simply sublime and definitely the best of the 12.12 Lacoste fragrances. Haven't really given Black, Green, and blue a fair trial but let's face it they are boring shit, the red one is nice too reminds me of a fruity tart musk like Gucci Rush or something?. Sorry for the gushing review but I think this one is worthy of it.
