L.12.12 Vert / Green by Lacoste, 2011

A headache in a bottle. I bought a bottle based on the top notes... the dumb thing to do. I like Style In Play (superb apple notes) and the Lacoste Blanc (a clean shirt)... but not that much. I thought I was really onto something when I picked up a whole bottle. Now, I DO wear it from time to time, but I only use 1 spray. One little spray on the chest. The woods are nice, but not that nice, and everything about this screams synthetic. It makes my brain hurt. Definitely sample this first. Might be a winner for some, but a total snooze for me... next?

Hugo by Hugo Boss wannabe. Almost the same but this one doesn't last as long or projects as Hugo does. All in all, a rip off that lacks quality.

By no means groundbreaking and I'm not sure if I would wear this, but it's one of Lacoste's few offerings that aren't flat-out terrible. Unique and masculine. I can't guarantee everyone will like this, but if you want to try a Lacoste fragrance sample this one first.
