Think cool lemon-ginger air, crisp apple and lavender: that is Lacoste L.12.12 Blanc Eau Fraîche. It opens with lemon and ginger, moves into apple and lavender and settles on vetiver and cedar. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.

This fragrance is best in spring and summer and is a daytime scent. A good pick for casual days. Released in 2018.

Wearers report that it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
