Lacoste L.12.12 Blanc x Roland Garros Eau de Parfum 100ml is a sporty, aromatic fragrance from the iconic French sportswear and lifestyle brand Lacoste — created in collaboration with Roland Garros, the French Open tennis tournament. Launched in 2021, this fresh-aromatic composition pairs sparkling finger lime, grapefruit and star anise with an energising eucalyptus-and-sage heart — settling into a distinctive clay-and-cedar drydown.

The character of the scent
L.12.12 Blanc Roland Garros opens with a sparkling, sun-warmed citrus-spicy accord — finger lime (the trendy "lemon caviar") and grapefruit lifted by the gentle aniseed warmth of star anise. The heart pivots herbal-aromatic — eucalyptus and clary sage paired with green parsley — feeling fresh, athletic and natural. The drydown introduces the signature "clay" accord that nods to Roland Garros' iconic red clay courts, paired with woody cedar, sage and earthy vetiver.

Who it's for
L.12.12 Blanc Roland Garros is for those who love fresh, sporty, aromatic-fougère fragrances — particularly tennis fans, Lacoste-brand devotees, and those who appreciate distinctive niche-adjacent collaborations. The clean, athletic character makes it especially well-suited to spring/summer wear, weekends, casual evenings and warm-weather use. A natural pick for those building a modern fragrance wardrobe.
How to wear it
- Apply to clean, moisturised skin — moisturiser holds the clay-cedar drydown for longer.
- Spray onto pulse points: wrists, neck, behind the ears.
- For a softer halo, mist once into the air and walk through it.
- Avoid rubbing the wrists together — it bruises the bright finger-lime-grapefruit opening.
- Best worn for spring/summer, casual occasions and active lifestyles — but works year-round.
