Lacoste Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 Rouge Eau de Toilette 100ml is a warm, woody-spicy fragrance for men, composed by perfumer Marypierre Julien and launched in 2012. The "Energetic" red flanker in the L.12.12 family — colour-coded after Lacoste's iconic polo shirts — opens with mango, rooibos tea and mandarin, evolves through a spicy heart of cardamom, pepper and ginger, and dries down on a smooth black locust, woods and benzoin base.
