What does Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 pour Lui French Panache smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Voters link it most with leisure, business and daily wear, and some also choose it for a night out. It reads as a masculine scent.

It opens with lemon zest, cardamom and mandarin orange for a bright start. In the heart, sand, red Windsor apple and Provençal lavender follow, the apple adding a sweet, fruity lightness. The base of patchouli, sandalwood and narcissus settles into a woody, spicy ground. Ralph Lauren Ralph's Club Parfum and Carolina Herrera Chic for Men (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
