Loving LACOSTE EAU DE LACOSTE L.12.12 Rouge, the NEW Men’s Scent for Spring. The red bottle is very cool and the scent is mysterious and sexy based on a triple blend of brilliant spices – Madagascan black pepper, Indian ginger and Guatemalan cardamom. Great for your boyfriend, hubby, or just for a Father’s Day gift. This fragrance is a mix of sporty, dynamic, and elegant.

EAU DE LACOSTE L.12.12 Rouge

Less than a year after LACOSTE launched its first ever collection of male fragrances, EAU DE LACOSTE L.12.12, LACOSTE fragrances introduces new EAU DE LACOSTE L.12.12 Rouge. Inspired by one of the world’s most iconic pieces of clothing – the LACOSTE L.12.12 shirt, designed by René Lacoste in the late 1920s, the collection symbolises the transformation of the L.12.12 shirt into a fragrance.

The Fragrance Notes

The latest addition to the EAU DE LACOSTE L.12.12 Fragrance Collection is a scent based on a triple blend of spices – ginger, black pepper and cardamom. When first sprayed, the fragrance is introduced with a refreshing, colourful blast of iced red tea, spiked with spicy mandarin liqueur and juicy mango. A second energy burst of notes emerges through a stimulating spice cocktail of Madagascan black pepper, Indian ginger and Guatemalan cardamom, creating a vibrating contrast. The long lasting signature of this aromatic woody creation sustains its character through acacia wood accompanied by golden Laos benzoin and labdanum.

Why Red?

Not only is it one of the classic L.12.12 shirt colours, red is seen as emotionally intense. It is an alluring and tempting colour, symbolising confidence and courage in its wearer. Above all red represents life. The most dynamic and energetic shade in the colour spectrum, like EAU DE LACOSTE L.12.12 Rouge, it symbolises life and vitality.
