Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 Yellow (Jaune)

Best Lacoste scent imo. Performance on me is super weak on my skin, but it does decently on clothes. 2-3 hours on skin, but I’ve had it staying on my clothes for 6-7h. Doesn’t really project after 20 mins tho. It just stays there. The perfect scent for you to “refresh” yourself in a hot summer day, and perfect for just hanging around on the beach with the wind blowing through your hair. Reminds me instantly of vacations and happy times. This is what I put on when i want to be in the best mood. Compliments left and right from my gf, but only cuz she’s one of the only people who can pick up the scent lol. And even at that, she still said it’s really light. Any age range can wear this, but more for the younger crowd. Any occasion for summer except for dressed up. Ok presentation, it’s young and fun, but nothing spectacular. Overall ratings: Scent - 10/10 Longevity - 3/10 on skin, 6/10 on clothes Projection - 2.5/10 Sillage -3/10 Compliments - 10/10 in “close and intimate” quarters, but other than that not really anyone can pick it up. It’s more of a scent for yourself Versatility -6/10 Presentation - 6.5/10 Overall rating - 8/10 for me personally, and it’s really unfair. I’m in love with this scent, and so is my gf and my family. But other than me loving it, no one can even pick it up to rate it. I’m pretty sure for those of you who don’t love the scent as much as I do would give it somewhere around a 4-5 bc of the poor performance, but imho it’s one of the few scents I consider a perfect smell.

This fragrance has one of the best openings I've smelled on a citrus scent and very good for any kind of scent. However, on my skin it doesn't last long or project very well. You will want to carry a travel atomizer if you wear this fragrance. I find myself reapplying it every two hours, because the longevity just isn't there. If this fragrance were much stronger, it would certainly be in my top 5. Lacoste L.12.12 Jaune is definitely not worth full MSRP. I also have L.12.12 Blanc. I would like Jaune better than Blanc, if it lasted longer. I've seen some Fragrantica members compare Lacoste L.12.12 Jaune to Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche. There is a slight difference, but overall to the average nose, they will smell very similar. I would consider buying this fragrance again, but I would not pay more than $25-30 for a 100mL bottle. UPDATE: I haven't worn this fragrance much in the last 6-9 months. Since writing this review, I bought Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche and Olfactive Studio Still Life, which both have a similar vibe to this fragrance, but are higher quality. I would recommend buying this if you are new to fragrances or do not have much money. I would still recommend saving your money to buy Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche instead. It smells like a higher quality version of Lacoste Jaune and it has the longevity that Jaune does not.

This fragrance captures the essence of a fleeting crisp forest breeze with a sharply fresh scent that stimulates the senses. Unlike many woody men's fragrances, which can be heavy, overbearing, or stuffy, this fragrance celebrates nature's simplicity - like a breath of cool fresh air on a sunny day that cleanses the mind. Its subtle profile makes it an ideal companion fragrance that can be worn year-round while paired with other favorites. In spring, I pair this fragrance with florals, creating a romantic blend of natural scents. During summer, the combination of fresh sea notes and this fragrance produces an idyllic and refreshing midsummer bouquet. In fall, the fragrance pairs well with notes of apple and cinnamon, creating a cozy and comforting scent. Finally, in winter, the fragrance fuses perfectly with tobacco musk, creating an alluring, warm, and sophisticated aroma. Overall, the fragrance's versatility and ability to complement other scents make it an excellent addition to any fragrance collection.

This works nicely in a hot, swampy climate, and do I ever live in one of those. It's a positive fragrance that can be applied heavily and forgotten about or resprayed without offending everyone you come across on a hot day. Sweat it up and you won't regret it up. It's unlikely to send people diving down your pants, but may hook into particular people. Most subjectively, it's an alcoholic's son's fragrance, which stirs a memory of my father on a riding lawnmower, icy gin and tonic melting on the hood as he mows down a north Florida lawn in the summer.

This fragrance is similar to chanel allure edition blanc. But lacoste managed to creat a more pleasing scent than chanel allure blanc wich doesnt turn like someone how had a cold scent. I like this fragrance but lacoste keeps on doing the same thing with there fragrances and that is poor longivity and silage.
