About the fragrance
Lacoste L.12.12. Bleu is a men's eau de parfum launched in 2026.
The fragrance belongs to the fougère and woody families and is part of the L.12.12. collection, continuing its distinctive sporty-elegant aesthetic.
The name L.12.12. refers to Lacoste's iconic tennis shirt, which is why a sense of freshness, composure and contemporary rhythm is particularly important in the composition.
Bleu comes across as a streamlined fragrance for a man who appreciates polished style, dynamism and a clean scent without excessive ornamentation.
Composition profile
The opening of Lacoste L.12.12. Bleu begins with a cool combination of ice and yuzu.
The citrusy sparkle of yuzu adds energy to the opening, while the mineral facet of ice creates an effect of transparent coolness and visual purity.
Geranium and lavender emerge at the heart. Geranium reinforces the eau de parfum's fougère character with a fresh green-floral nuance, while lavender gives the scent a more composed and recognizable character.
Gradually, the composition becomes calmer while retaining the feeling of a freshly laundered shirt and cool air.
The final accord is built around cedar. The woody base adds structure to the fragrance and emphasizes its masculine character without weighing down the overall composition. As a result, L.12.12.
Bleu combines citrus freshness, expressive green-fougère facets and dry woods.
Wearability and sillage
Lacoste L.12.12. Bleu eau de parfum is suitable for everyday wear, the workday, walks and outdoor activities.
Thanks to its cool opening and woody-fougère base, the fragrance feels especially natural in warm weather, although its composed character also makes it a suitable choice for transitional seasons.
According to the fragrance listing, its sillage is described as very strong. It is therefore best applied with moderation: the exact number of sprays for skin and clothing is not specified in the database.
It is best to assess the fragrance's development on your own skin, as temperature, humidity and fabric can significantly affect how the composition is perceived.
Connection with the brand
For more than 90 years, Lacoste has developed the idea of sporty elegance.
The brand was founded in 1933 by legendary tennis player René Lacoste, and over time its signature style extended far beyond the tennis court.
Perfumery became a natural extension of this lifestyle, where comfort, grooming and activity come together with French restraint.
Lacoste L.12.12. Bleu reflects this DNA through a clear compositional structure: a fresh citrus-mineral opening, a fougère heart and a cedar trail.
It is a fragrance with a noticeable presence that can become a distinctive detail of an everyday look.
