From your scent profile
Lacoste L.12.12 Bleu is a fresh scent for men that sets the bright opening of yuzu and ginger against Provençal lavender and a woody base of cedarwood and vetiver.
Skunky's take: Just out, and my nose wants to be among the first to sniff it.

EarthyWhat does L.12.12 Bleu smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are not firm. There are no season or occasion votes, so it is hard to say when it suits best; it is presented as a men's fragrance.
The top notes, yuzu and ginger, give a citrusy, lightly spicy freshness. In the heart, Provençal lavender and geranium bring out the green side. The base of cedarwood and vetiver sets an earthy, woody floor, while aquatic and fresh accords run through the whole. Issey Miyake Le Sel d'Issey and Detaille Yachting have a close profile.
