I was very impressed upon opening the Lacoste L.12.12.The fragrance comes neatly packaged in a quite-fashionable black box. The design is simple but effective, featuring the famous and likeable Lacoste crocodile and a very nice textured square design which is nice to the touch. The bottle itself is a nicely rounded square shape with a textured grip-like feature on the sides. This makes the product comfortable to hold and easier to use. My favourite feature was the cotton Lacoste crocodile on the face of the bottle – the same type you would expect to feature on a t-shirt. This little touch made the bottle more unique and gave the impression that the product is of a high quality.The bottle contains 50ml of fragrance and looks good on a bathroom shelf. I am a man of many fragrances. I have a shelf full of scents which puts even my girlfriend’s to shame. I like to separate my fragrances to correspond with my numerous daily activities both formal (work, networking ect.) and informal (going to the gym). Therefore, I suppose I would want to know where this fragrance would fit into my collection. This was the first question I sought to answer when I smelled the fragrance for the first time. The truth is, I couldn’t divide Lacoste L.12.12 into either category. I wore it for work (I work in a busy office and communicate with members of the public every day) and received numerous compliments from co-workers and clients throughout the working day. I thought that was really positive as I tend to wear an aftershave to work every day and barely ever receive similar compliments. In addition, the lush scent of Lacoste L.12.12 was still on me when I finished work at 5:30pm which means the fragrance stood the test of time (I applied around 3 sprays at 8:00am). There is no need to keep the fragrance in your desk draw at work as it rarely needs to be re-applied. This surprised me as it’s not an over-powering fragrance.That night happened to be date night, and before heading out to our favourite burger joint and the cinema (Suicide Squad) I sprayed myself with Lacoste straight from the shower. I think the fruity smell of Lacoste is great for creating a fresh and natural scent which went down a treat. In the morning I added the fragrance to my gym bag to test its durability. Surprisingly, I smelled fruity and fresh throughout my workout and didn’t need to re-apply a large amount afterwards. Overall, I think Lacoste L.12.12 is a perfect fit for any situation. I believe the rich scent of dark chocolate infused with the fresh aroma of basil and watermelon creates a diverse scent which is capable of impressing at work, down the pub and at the gym. I would describe the smell of Lacoste L.12.12 as subtle but effective. It’s not overpowering but provides a nice subtle smell which I think a lot of fragrances fail to achieve. I think the watermelon and basil makes the fragrance smell very fresh (perfect after a workout) and a little sweet. Despite featuring more natural ingredients, I don’t think Lacoste L.12.12 would be out of place in the “woods” section of a fragrance store. In conclusion, I would recommend Lacoste L.12.12 to anyone. It’s a fashionable fragrance which provides a fresh and fruity smell throughout the day. It’s perfect for any man’s fragrance shelf and would fit nicely in your gym bag. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

In summary: I love this product!When this product first arrived, I was very impressed with the packaging. Quite often when you purchase a fragrance, you get unnecessary packaging (I've even had metal cases before), which really draw your attention away from the product. This product has a simple black box, which fits rather tight onto the bottle.The bottle itself is brilliant. The 50ml size is perfect for putting in your sports bag / works bag, or even just having in the car. The glass feels thick, and feels like a quality product should. It feels luxurious; Even the lid and sprayer isn't the cheap type that you would usually expect. The grips down the sides of the bottle make it easier to grip,

I have now been using this for a few weeks since i received it, i like to give items a good few weeks before i get my final thoughts on the product, same with skincare, i will use them for 4 weeks to see any results and leave my opinion on them.The Lacoste EDT is a very refreshing scent, i was wearing this during the sunny days when i was going to work and going on days out. I would apply it in the morning around 11am and i would only need to top it up come 6pm which i think is very good for the price it is retailing at! It comes in a very nice packaging and the small logo on the bottle is actually fabric like it is on the clothing, I liked this about the product as it made it seem more 'unique'

is very sleek comes with minimal waste which I think is key for any product being sold, the bottle itself looks very sophisticated and sleek, keeping it on the shelf and looking at the bottle is satisfying in itself, the embroidered logo on the bottle is a very unique touch which personally gave it that quality feel along with the ridges on the outsides of the bottle allowing good grip, the 50ml bottle was very well designed, and clearly suggests it's a quality product.The smell inside the bottle is strong, at first however like most it will fade slowly after an hour or two although not very strong after you'll use less than other perfumes, and smell fresh most of day,

First things first I am not usually the biggest fan of Lacoste as a brand but on receiving and opening this aftershave I was impressed. The packaging was very simple and basic, which I like, not one of these metal boxed or fancy packaged aftershaves. The bottle itself is very stylish and oozes class with the simple shape and black colour. In particular the dimpled detail on the sides of the bottle is a nice touch and I am a very big fan of the small fabric Lacoste logo on the face. The lid is very tight on the bottle, which I suppose prevents any damage to the spray nozzle. The nozzle itself feels very robust and doesn't feel like it will fall to pieces before you get to the end of the bottle.

Good morning my beautiful people! The weekend was an eventful one for me as I tied the knot with my long time sweetheart... SO it was the perfect time to try Lacoste's new offering Noir. It comes in a sleek black bottle with a material logo adorned on the right hand side. The sides have a raised ridge effect which add a nice dynamic to a simple and classy bottle design. As soon as I arrived at the church, attentive noses started sniffing! You can expect comments like "You smell really nice" and "What you're wearing smells lovely" and come on, who doesn't love a little flattery!The fragrance itself sits in the middle, it's not a powerful smell but it's far from gentle. If you're leaning either way,

Overall I think this is a sleek well fragranced product. I have never been a massive fan of Lacoste but this product has changed my opinion. The product arrived in a well presented, sleek black box. The cellophane was extremely easy to unwrap unlike most other aftershaves. The bottle is a reasonable size bottle. I think a little bigger and it would be fantastic but it would have to relate to the price. The spray delivers enough for the right amount for each area of the body that you require. The spray works on a push button but I believe that a different way of spraying e.g. Pushing the base, would be a quirky way of grabbing people's attention.

The packaging is good and simple - nothing verbose or unnecessary. The bottle size (50ml) is perfect to throw into a night bag. The design is simple and elegant and I particularly like that the Lacoste badge affixed to the bottle is made of fabric. The bottle feels excellent in hand, and the glass feels thick and strong.The first waft of this fragrance you get the classic, smooth smell of a male fragrance but you are then hit by a fruity, refreshing smell that lingers on the nose. It is a very enjoyable fragrance that I would wear under a suit for that edge of something 'extra'. The smell reminds me of a relaxing summer evening with friends and a glass of wine or two.
