{"product_id":"lacoste-l-12-12-silver-grey-eau-de-parfum-50ml","title":"L.12.12 Silver Grey Eau de Parfum 50ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eFifty millilitres is the sensible size for a fragrance you want to try properly rather than commit to, and Lacoste L.12.12 Silver Grey Eau de Parfum 50ml is a good candidate for that kind of purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe scent is drier and more serious than most of what sits around it on a counter. Frankincense opens it, resinous and smoky with a cool brightness in the material itself, and mandarin orange is set directly against it, sweet and round, so the first impression is of smoke and fruit at the same moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLavender and geranium make the heart, and this is familiar ground handled well. Lavender brings the clean herbal calm that men's fragrance has relied on for generations, while geranium sharpens it with a green, slightly bitter edge that keeps the pairing from going soft. It is the most conventional part of the composition and also the most comfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnderneath, ambroxan and vetiver carry it. Ambroxan is the dry mineral material that gives modern scent its grip, vetiver the earthy, faintly smoky root that ties the base back to the frankincense at the top. Six materials in a tidy, legible arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEau de parfum strength means proper longevity from a bottle of this size, and at two sprays a day it will last a very long while before it needs replacing. It suits the cooler months, works for both the office and the evening without feeling out of place in either, and is aimed at men. The house is French, founded in 1933 by the tennis champion René Lacoste in partnership with the industrialist André Gillier, and built on the crocodile marked polo shirt; the company dates its move into fragrance to 1968.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lacoste","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53297268523335,"sku":"BTS388379","price":52.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/5049\/1463\/files\/bts388379.webp?v=1770510304","url":"https:\/\/thescentvault.ie\/products\/lacoste-l-12-12-silver-grey-eau-de-parfum-50ml","provider":"The Scent Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
