About 80% similar to Lacoste L.12.12 Bleu Powerful Intense but Lacoste L.12.12 Bleu Powerful it's not as bubblegum sweet it's more citrus sweet. Starts off minty sweet (grapefruit) and mildly floral then gets real "bleu" as the patchouli and cedar create this aquatic aroma, through the mid all the notes start to blend well with one another to create an aromatic semi-sweet lightly floral fresh aquatic scent and when it dries completely the floral note is faint and almost barely detectable and you're left with clean slight soapy fresh aquatic "bleu"ness with a little sweetness that smells like an upscale body wash (a bit synthetic but nothing too off putting). GOOD SMELLING soapy clean fresh aquatic "mass appealing" frag, but nothing complex or unique, good for the gym or casual use. Not a very loud fragrance but isn't quite either. Projection/Sillage: DECENT; noticeable when first sprayed for about 2 hours then becomes more of a in-close scent.
