What wearers say

“I love the smell of this. Smell really good quality for the price (35 USD). However, performance is awful. Really, I only get 2-3 hours on skin, which is not acceptable. This EDT version has the smell, but not the performance. I tried the EDP, because I'd love to have this smell but with better performance. But the EDP version doesn't have a good performance either, and the smell is less good in my opinion.This Lacoste Blanc EDT is good for $35 but nothing more than that because of the lackluster performance. Smell is darn nice, but you'll need to overspray to get something out of it.”

“Eh, this is just ehh.Its foral fresh and in my opinion also fruity in the opening. But for me it's not worth having, bad performance and you smell like fresh laundry which is fine i geuss but not worth paying for (just use stronger laundry detergent or something). This fragrance misses some defining notesto forgettable, a litle bit cheap smelling to, it's defenitely unisex and not offensive.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“The scent profile 8/10 The performance 2/10. I don't expect longevity from most citrus fragrances, but the performance on this is abysmal. It goes down to a skin scent within 15 minutes no matter how much I've sprayed. It's a real shame because aside from that I really like the scent profile. It's like a light version akin to missoni wave minus the stronger, creamy/musk notes. Smooth Citrus opening, and really well balanced blend, with the woods and floral notes. Maybe it's a batch thing...”

Longevity

Sillage

Hunter Man misses some of the herbal-aromatic nuances of the original and tends to be slightly less longevous. The suede note, which adds softness to L.12.12 White, is either absent or underdeveloped in the clone, making it feel less sophisticated.

Sillage

Hunter trades the original's refined suede and aromatic rosemary elements for a more generic musk base, and the opening citrus feels less bright. Longevity and sillage are generally comparable, but the clone reads as slightly warmer and less sophisticated.
