What is Lacoste L.12.12 Bleu Eau de Parfum?

Lacoste L.12.12 Bleu is the deep blue fragrance of the Lacoste L.12.12 line. The line is named after René Lacoste’s polo shirt: L stands for Lacoste, 1 for the petit piqué fabric, 2 for the short-sleeved model and 12 for the final version of the polo. Each fragrance in the line is named after the colour that inspired it, and Bleu is blue. Its fragrance family is woody citrus fougère. That means freshness, aromatic herbs and a warm wood base. The composition joins intensity and sophistication.

Fragrance notes

• Top notes: yuzu and ginger. Yuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit with a sharper, more aromatic scent than an ordinary lemon. Ginger adds crispness.
• Heart notes: lavandin and geranium. Lavandin is a herbal scent close to lavender, and geranium brings a green, leafy tone.
• Base notes: cedarwood and vetiver. They keep the scent woody and warm once the citrus has softened.

Who it suits

Lacoste L.12.12 Bleu is made for men who prefer a fresh scent over a sweet or heavy one. The citrus opening works for mornings and office days. The woody base gives the scent enough depth in the evening. If you like clean blue Lacoste scents, the 35 ml bottle is a handy size to carry along. You can find more choice in our men’s perfume category.

Bottle and box

The bottle is deep blue and its surface carries a piqué pattern inspired by polo fabric. An embroidered crocodile sits on the front in a tone-on-tone blue, and silver gunmetal details underline the intensity and modern feel of the fragrance. The outer box repeats the same codes with vertical white lines inspired by the piping on the polo shirt. The design recalls the famous Lacoste polo shirt where the line began.

The Lacoste wardrobe of polo scents

L.12.12 Bleu joins the Lacoste wardrobe of scents, where each fragrance reflects the spirit of the iconic polo shirt. Alongside Blanc, Silver Grey and Noir, Bleu adds a new nuance and a new olfactory dimension to the collection. The fragrances differ in colour, profile and character. You can browse the whole Lacoste range on the Lacoste brand page.

Bleu or Lacoste Red: which to choose?

Our range also has Lacoste Red men’s eau de toilette (EDT) in 75 ml and 125 ml. Red has been a known scent since 2004 and its notes are green apple, pine, patchouli and vetiver. Bleu starts instead with yuzu and ginger, moves to lavandin and geranium, and ends on cedarwood and vetiver. Both contain vetiver, but Bleu is more citrusy and herbal, while Red brings out green apple and pine. Bleu is also an eau de parfum (EDP), which holds a higher share of fragrance oil than Red’s eau de toilette.

When to wear Bleu and what 35 ml is good for

The scent is built as a versatile composition for every occasion, so one bottle covers the working day, free time and the evening. The bottle holds 35 ml (1.1 fl oz): a compact size that is easy to carry in a bag and lets you get to know the scent at your own pace.

How to use

1. Spray the fragrance on clean, dry skin, for example on the wrists, neck and chest.
2. Let the scent dry on the skin on its own.

To get to know the scent, wear it for a whole day and follow how the yuzu opening turns into an herbal heart and a woody base.
