L.12.12 Silver Rose

L.12.12 Silver Rose – Detailed composition

A liquid rose, fresh as a white polo shirt and soft as a cushioned backhand

L.12.12 Silver Rose propels the queen of flowers into Lacoste's sport-chic universe: a sparkling citrus-pear opening, an ultramodern rose-freesia heart treated as “liquid rose,” then a cashmeran-musk finish that clings to the skin like a jersey knit. The contrast between metallic brightness and floral velvet gives a fragrance that is both feminine, energizing and irresistibly clean.

Note pyramid

Top notes: the fruity winning serve

• Pink grapefruit: a bright zest that snaps like a new ball.
• Blood orange: a sun-red brightness, bringing juiciness and energy.
• Nashi pear: pearly pulp, a crisp-watery effect, softening the citrus burst.

Heart notes: the “chrome rose”

• Liquid rose: a CO₂ infusion of petals giving a crystalline transparency; the watery facet recalls a metallic surface.
• Crystalline freesia: petal and white pepper tones, heightening floral brightness without heaviness.
• Blackcurrant bud: a green-fruity touch that stretches the rose toward a natural freshness.

Base notes: second-skin longevity

• Cashmeran: amber-musky wood, giving a cashmere-fiber sensation on the skin; diffuses a soft, subtle warmth.
• Silky musks: white musks plus a “nappa leather skin” musk accord, giving a long-lasting clean cotton effect.
• White cedar: a light woody edge that structures the sillage and signs Lacoste's elegance.

Clerc-Marie & Salamagne: from rose to chrome vapor

The perfumers describe Silver Rose as a rose gliding over a court wet from rain. To achieve this, they swapped opulent absolutes for a supercritical infusion releasing the flower's fruit-water facets, then added a “clean chrome” accord (metallic aldehydes in micro-doses) to obtain a silvery olfactory reflection. The musks and cashmeran, meanwhile, extend the fragrance without weighing it down: the rose settles, immaculate, onto a freshly washed white t-shirt.

A clean formula, 90% naturally derived

• Low-carbon beet alcohol, ISCC Plus certified.
• Rose infusion sourced from an ethical program in Turkey, low-consumption extraction.
• Biosourced cashmeran, derived from renewable terpenoids.
• Bottle incorporating 30% PCR glass; 150 ml refill reducing virgin packaging use by 65%.

Projection, longevity & usage tips

Projection: a halo of about 80 cm during the first hour, then a close-to-skin bubble.
Longevity: 6-7 hours on skin, 9 hours on cotton.
Layering: to boost freshness, layer with a grapefruit-mint splash; to enhance the velvety feel, apply an oat milk body cream before spraying the fragrance.

Why this composition refreshes the rose

Silver Rose succeeds in modernizing the legendary flower: more crystalline, cleaner, it is wrapped in a metallic-woody halo evoking the surface of a floodlit court. An easy-to-wear floral, both sparkling and comforting, tailored for dynamic silhouettes in a white polo shirt.
