    Real talk

    Sweet enough to register. Warm enough to linger. What saves 212 Sexy from being another vanilla bomb is the gardenia, it keeps things lifted, almost fresh, even as the cotton candy settles in.212 Sexy
    The licorice is the call. It's unexpected in a sport-fragrance context, that anise whisper threading through the green and aquatic. Makes this the one for someone who wants fresh but also wants to be.Lacoste Live
