L.12.12 Magnetic

L.12.12 Magnetic, a Fresh Woody Aromatic

Lacoste L.12.12 Magnetic is a fresh woody aromatic. Our version keeps that feel, opening with artemisia, bamboo, and juniper before a violet, tea, and geranium heart settles over patchouli, vetiver, and amber.

The Story Behind the Scent

Lacoste built L.12.12 Magnetic as a fresh, modern scent, all green herbs and bamboo over smooth patchouli and warm amber. The idea was an easygoing, versatile masculinity.

That fresh smoothness is its appeal. The artemisia and juniper keep it green and crisp, the violet and tea add a soft, aromatic heart, and the patchouli and vetiver give it a smooth, woody base. Our interpretation follows that same versatile path.
