What does Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 pour Elle Eau Fraîche smell like?

In the top, mandarin orange and grapefruit give a bright, fruity start, while pink pepper adds a slight edge. The heart turns aquatic, with magnolia and Egyptian jasmine absolute keeping the floral side soft. Indonesian patchouli sits underneath without weighing it down, leaving a plain base for the watery, floral character. The overall impression is clean, light and a little synthetic. Its accords point towards warm weather and easy everyday wear. Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue pour Homme Eau Intense and Kenzo Aqua Kenzo pour Femme have a close profile.
