FAQ

Things buyers ask first

Is this the real perfume?
Yes. Every decant of L.12.12 Red Eau de Toilette is hand-poured from a sealed retail bottle of Lacoste L.12.12 Red Eau de Toilette. We never re-use atomizers or buy from secondary sources — the source bottle is on our shelf and we'll show you the batch on request.
How many sprays will I get?
A 5ml decant gives you about 75 sprays — roughly a month of daily wear or testing 10-15 occasions.
What size should I get?
Every fragrance comes in 5ml. That's enough to commit to or rule out — about 75 sprays from a fresh, hand-poured decant.
How should I store my decant?
Upright, away from direct sunlight and heat. A drawer or medicine cabinet is perfect. Properly stored, a decant lasts 6–12 months. The glass atomizer seals airtight.
What's the difference between EDT, EDP, and Parfum?
EDT (Eau de Toilette): 5–15% fragrance oils, lighter, great for daytime. EDP (Eau de Parfum): 15–20% oils, richer and longer-lasting. Parfum: 20–40% oils, the most concentrated and intense. Higher concentration = stronger projection and longer wear.

Legit the real deal

Liam E.·Jacksonville, FL·Verified Purchase·Size: 10ml

I've smelled L.12.12 Red at Nordstrom and what arrived is identical. The cedar in the dry-down is gorgeous. Saves me from a bad $150 decision.

Bought the 5ml as a gift for my sister and they asked where I got it. The base is where this earns its price. Packaging was clean and the card was a nice touch.

This made our day, Kai. Try the 10ml next time — the price-per-ml gets noticeably better.

Just okay on me

Theo T.·Albuquerque, NM·Size: 10ml

Meh on me. Not bad, not great. Warmer weather brings out the sweetness more. Probably wears better on someone with different skin chemistry. Glad I only got the 10ml.

Spring pick. Projects hard for 3 hours, 8 hours skin scent. Two sprays, the day is handled. In the daily rotation.

4 stars because projection

Cole T.·Cleveland, OH·Verified Purchase·Size: 3ml

Scent is great, service is great, only knocking a star because I was expecting more of a beast. Still, I'd recommend.

Ryan C.·Orlando, FL·Verified Purchase·Size: 3ml

My wife said something like 'okay, that smells good' when I walked in. That's the highest rating I could give. The base is where this earns its price.

comfy daily wear

Marcus J.·Tucson, AZ·Verified Purchase·Size: 10ml

bought this because everyone on reddit raves about it. i'm at 4 stars — i get the appeal but it's not my holy grail. warmer weather brings out the sweetness more. no regrets though, $11 for a 5ml to figure out i'm a 'like it' not a 'love it' is a steal.

Pretty great, tbh

Nathan C.·Houston, TX·Verified Purchase·Size: 1ml

Scent is great, service is great, only knocking a star because the compliment rate is lower than my other go-tos. Still, I'd recommend.
