eau de lacoste L.12.12 blanc

Recently I'm wearing Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 Blanc. When it first goes on it smells very typically guy-ish, that sporty citrusy smell that dominates dorms across the land (though it's on the grapefruity side, so that helps). But after a few hours it mellows into a sweet woody smell with just a tinge of something distantly flowery that makes it fairly distinctive — but only fairly.

I'm not sure it passes the distinctiveness test, which is really my only test for a fragrance. Sure is nice and clean and pleasant, though. If L.12.12 Blanc went to high school with you it would be that guy on the tennis team who's athletic and "popular" but also actually popular — nice to everyone and pretty smart and fun and great to hang around with. Terrific August fragrance.
