L.12.12 Eau de Parfum Rose For Her
by Lacoste Fragrances
L.12.12 Eau de Parfum Rose For Her is a light, fresh floral with a modern musk base, bringing together rose, mint, citrus, and frangipani in a balanced, clean presentation. The opening features sparkling green mandarin and mint, giving an effervescent, summery feel, while the heart is dominated by rose and frangipani, offering a soft, slightly coconut-like sweetness. The base is dominated by musk—ambrette and musk mallow—which gives a soft, velvety skin effect. Some describe this as a low-key, classy rose with a wearable, easygoing quality. Others find the synthetic musk to be intrusive—a voluminous, persistent presence that lingers intensely, even after hours. While some appreciate its minimal sillage and discreet performance, others find the musk overwhelming, likening it to Narcisso Rodriguez for Her or Montale Roses Musk. The scent is typically favored in spring and summer, worn during daytime, and suits those who enjoy clean, fresh, floral-musk profiles rather than bold or dramatic fragrances.
