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

It opens with artemisia, juniper and bamboo, which give a cool, green feel. In the heart, violet, geranium and tea soften it with a floral note. The base of vetiver, ambergris and patchouli leaves a woody footing, with fruity and sweet tones showing here and there.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily, leisure and business use are equally favoured. Most votes call it masculine. Karl Lagerfeld Bois de Vétiver and s.Oliver Black Label Men have a close profile.
