Eau de Lacoste L.12.12. Noir

Totally love this! Only thing I'd want to see improved is projection. Opening surprisingly had a lot of tonka in it for me (I'm guessing I'm getting this from the Cashmeran and the other base note that's very musky/vanilla - the two things I always end up associating with tonka in fragrances), which I wasn't expecting based on reviews. The watermelon focus edged into a really fresh scent - verbena always gives me a citrusy vibe since it is commonly paired with lemon, and my skin tends to pick up even the smallest iota of lavender in a fragrance, so those come through as well. The chocolate is not gourmand as it is almost earthy: I get a sweetness from the watermelon/chocolate combo, sure, but it's not cloying. Ultimately, a more unique summer fragrance, and one that I want to add to my collection for sure.

I didn't expect a lot from this fragrance but I'm pleasantly surprised. It's a bit of an enigma as I find it both unique and generic. Generic in the sense that it smells fresh, masculine and people pleasing. Unique in the fact that it has facets to it that blend wonderfully together and you do get wafts of the individual notes every now and then. Reminds me a lot of YSL Y Live but with a slight green tinge and a shower gel vibe. All in all it is a very masculine and likeable scent with a longevity of around 6hrs on my skin. Not the greatest of performers but one that the ladies are sure to love. Not sure why this scent has such a low score on here in comparison to others but I thoroughly enjoy this scent and others are bound to aswell.

I find this fragrance quite compelling. It smells so familiar like it's reminding of a soap I smelled many years ago. I really like this, especially the later dry down. I'm REALLY surprised Lacoste or whoever makes their fragrances haven't released an EDP or other flankers of this when there are several of Lacoste Blanc. They could have a huge hit on their hands if they brought out a stronger version. As it is I don't find it weak, but it seems to be a closer or more intimate kind of scent, extremely versatile & pleasant, paradoxically an easy reach wear anywhere, anytime scent but with a certain air of mystery. Such a nice surprise & discovery.

A fresh cute fragrance... the mixture of watermelon and fresh spicy make a pleasant sensual scent. I really loved it. moderate sillage and weak longevity با سلام به دوستای گلم این کار جزو محبوب ترین کارایی مجموعه ای هست که دارم و دلیلش هم طراوتی هست که توی تاریکی این کار قایم شده. نت های شادابی مثه هندونه و پچولی روی پایه ای که یه مقداری به شیرینی میزنه به خاطر کومارین ازش یه کار مردونه و جوون پسند میسازه. کیفیت بو ها مناسبه . برای استفاده روز مره در محیط کار خوب هست اما به خاطر ماندگاری نسبتا ضعیفش از اون ادکلن هایی هست که بهتره تو کیفتون باشه همیشه و هر چند ساعت یه بار مجدد استفاده شه بوی فوق العاده ولی ماندگاری نسبتا ضعیف و پخش بوی متوسط

با سلام و ادب کاری خوب و قابل توجه برای کسانی که از روایح اسپایسی و گرم لذت می برند نت های اسطوخودوس و شکلات تلخ و چوب نعنای هندی و باسیل کاری خوب و کارآمد را بوجود آورده است رایحه اش شاید بعد از استشمام به یاد عطری بیاندازد که قبلا بو کرده اید اما بوی آن خوشبو و جالب است گرم و اسپایسی مردانه و جذاب کلاسیک از دوام و پخش بوی مناسبی برخوردار است از لحاظ بویایی کسانی که قبلا از ادکلن خیلی عالی و خوب تزار از برند ون کلیف و جاز ایو ساین لارن استفاده کرده باشند این کار را حتما خواهند پسندید گالری عطر مهرداد facebook: گالری عطر مهرداد instagram: mehrdad_gallery line: mehrdadgallery Kik: mehrdad_gallery E.mail: [email protected]

Don't understand the opposition on here. I'm not a fan of Lacoste scents whatsoever. I think I might've liked the white one a bit but I much prefer Noir. I've noticed some comments criticizing it for not being a dark scent but I have to disagree somewhat. Its dark, but not heavy. Its light (projection was nonexistent on me but it did last a good couple of hours very very close to the skin) but still dark. I think its elegant for a moderate-class cologne. I recommend it.

This Fragrance is nice clean and soapy🧼 and more on the green side. This is like the modern day Father cologne( millennial and younger), the scent you want to be wearing when you start your family if that makes sense lol. Very nice, even better on a warm day. 8/10 UPDATE: I’ve had it for about almost 6 months (09/26/2022) and I can say it’s one of those fragrances that you’ll keep coming back to every few months and think to yourself “why don’t I wear this more often”.

This has such a great opening.. the watermelon is wonderful and fresh. it is the best "water" note I have smelled... just like after a rain... the dry down was surprising with the chocolate. I will have to spray this on my clothes to help the performance which is not very good. I blind bought this for the watermelon and was well pleased.

Fragrance snobs need to seriously get off their soap box. This fragrance is very nice. As far as being boring and generic- name one fragrance that smells like this. I can't think of one... It's not the most amazing thing I've ever smelt, but it's not bad either. Solid summer fragrance that DOES NOT smell like everything else..

I just bought this from my local mall and WOW!!! It is similar to the White L.12.12. but darker. It doesnt have that sour opening but rather a smooth melon note. This is a great fragrance and could be a everyday scent or a work scent. I recommend this and dont let people on here bash it. Its great 9/10.

love it! am a big fan of the brand because of its clothing line but this is the only scent that caught my attention and made me want to try out their perfumes. true story: while i was paying a bill, the cashier even apologized that she got distracted because of how good i smell.

Just got this from tj maxx for 36 bucks, got it cause i recently got the blue one, this is actually not bad, smooth aromatic opening, with that subtle melon note, the chocolate gives it a slightly smokey vibe. Surprisingly well blended for the price. Good form lacoste!!

Not bad for my first Lacoste fragrance. Smells clean and fresh, perfect for my rich kid getup: polo shirt, shorts and topsider. Performance is decent Edit: Wow, I'm in love with the scent, a 9/10. How I wish the performance is better 6/10

Smelled this yesterday @ Macy's.It's very smooth and sensual. Definitely darker compared to the other Lacoste offerings. I didn't find any of the recent Lacoste fragrances interesting, but I would really recommend trying this one.

I like it, especially the drydown, love the dark chocolate. It's also amazing for the price. Projection is a bit weak though. Good everyday fragrance for me.

Mmmml the drydown smells heavenly good i still can smell it on ly neck after 6 hours the smell is so sexy and masculine better for younger guys

Brilliant watermelon opening but the scent changes a lot after that. A lot of 'grown up' type of scent in the dry down. 8.999/10 :P

Great cologne for day-time wear. Smells similar to white. Highly recommended!

Lacoste Eau De Lacoste L.12.12 Noir Intense opens with a soft projection of mildly sweet, fruity, green notes. The opening is very soft, the notes come up as diluted, and just OK. The watermelon is a soft note, it comes across as fruity more than watermelon. The dark chocolate is also a faint sweet accord, undefined. The patchouli, basil, and verbena create a green grassy accord, and the cashmeran a light leathery-touch. Once Lacoste Eau De Lacoste L.12.12 Noir Intense has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a low projection, mildly sweet, green, and chocolate fragrance with some soft leathery accords. The fragrance feels cheap, diluted, disappointing, faint, fruity, low-quality, modern, masculine, short-lived, poorly-blended, woody, and barely pleasant. BATCH REVIEWED: 2020. WOW RATING: 2/10. A very poor quality fragrance, sweet but without clear or well-defined notes. DISLIKE RATING: 2/10. The fragrance combines green and sweet accords, it also feels low quality. UNIQUENESS: 1/10. Not a unique fragrance. MASS APPEAL: 5/10. Not a crowd-pleaser, but not completely offensive either. PROJECTION: 2/10. Low, about 2 feet around the wearer. SILLAGE: 2/10. Low, about 2 feet behind the wearer. APPLICATION: 6 or more atomizations. LONGEVITY: 3/10. About 3 hours, with less than 1 hour of low projection. SEASONS: Winter, spring, fall, colder days, and climate-controlled environments. OCCASIONS: Outdoor gatherings, office, casual. This is an office-friendly fragrance. VERSATILITY: 7/10. Moderate, ideal for any season except summer. GENDER: Masculine, a soft leathery, and some green touches create a slight tilt to the masculine side. AGES: Any. RECOMMENDATION: Lacoste Eau De Lacoste L.12.12 Noir Intense is a very average fragrance with poorly blended notes, short-lived, and a name that does not represent the intensity of the notes. Not recommended. BLIND-BUY: No, sample it first. SUMMARY: A low projection, mildly sweet, green, and chocolate fragrance with some soft leathery accords. The fragrance feels cheap, diluted, disappointing, faint, fruity, low-quality, modern, masculine, short-lived, poorly-blended, woody, and barely pleasant.

A real solid fragrance from Lacoste and this 1 took me by surprise ! This has a really fresh,sporty transparent opening that eventually dries down to a nicely blended scent of watermelon,chocolate and lavender. This scent although kind of generic is a scent that really stuck out to me and watermelon,chocolate, and lavender doesn't sound like it goes together but Lacoste definitely made it work. 1 thing that did disappoint me was I was hoping the chocolate in this was richer but instead its kind of similar to a dark transparent musk. With that said, it's still a very nice scent and I really enjoy this scent and I'd say it's my 2nd favorite scent from Lacoste with my favorite being Lacoste essential Sport. ( Also if you liked Dark Temptation from Axe and wanted to upgrade this would be a perfect scent) Performance was only average--- it lasts 3-6 hours and projects average as well... Also a downside to this is in the mid I get some weird note that reminds me of a taco truck....lol. But in the drydown that goes away. Overall rating---7.5 out of 10 ! Unique scent that I will definitely wear when I want a freshie that's a little different but I can only give this a like as it's not 1 of my all time favs.
