By the editors · 2 min readThe Yellow entry in Lacoste's L.12.12 wardrobe takes the capsule-collection metaphor literally — a precisely defined fresh masculine with a clear character. Tonic water opens with its distinctive quinine-bitter effervescence alongside grapefruit's citrus brightness and pink pepper's spice; together they read as a summer aperitivo. Apple and coriander in the heart provide a clean, green-spiced middle with no complications. Vetiver and cypress ground the base with dry earthy structure; amber provides restrained warmth. Well-calibrated for active contexts — enough structure to last, enough freshness to not overwhelm. Among the stronger entries in a range that rewards precision over ambition.
