Clin d'Oeil Cosmic Girl

👾 Basically, the theme song for this scent (in my miiiiind) is GIRL FROM MARS by the band ASH. I didn't rate this cheap scent so highly when I was at the height and in the throes of my LEMPICKA passion, wearing exclusively only that. But after returning to this every so often, certainly now that the Lempicka scents ain't what they once were, I feel more strongly drawn to this and can appreciate it all the more, especially so when considering the price I paid for it. It was cheap as chips. I just sprayed it around my room while doing some sorting out and the licorice in it is so realistic and true, it smells magical. Definitely up there in the realm of the original Lempicka parfum plateau. As October draws to an end, I'm reaching for my Halloween fragrances. COSMIC GIRL is da bomb. 💣 Bonfire lollies and licorice. 🎃🍁 And, as usual, I've got GIRL FROM MARS stuck in my head again. 😘🤣 💜💜💜 (Editing to add that my best friend says it puts COSMIC GIRL by JAMIROQUAI in his head, so I guess he just pooped my long term personal party good and proper. THANKS.) (Editing again to say that GIRL FROM MARS by ASH, COSMIC GIRL by JAMIROQUAI and SPACEMAN by BABYLON ZOO were ALL released in 1996! 😵💫🥴 - Lolita Lempicka is from 1997, Cosmic Girl Is from 1998... 🍸) 👾

Delicious! A beautiful blend of liquorice, spices and musk, with sandalwood. Lovely sweet spicy perfume. I LOVE it! It's gorgeous. And I adore the gorgeous bottle. So pretty.

Just tested today , i really agree it is like LL's Premier parfum . But to me it is less complex , and the liquorice note is less strong , which makes it more wearable to me , and to you if you're not a liquorice fan either.

This is like a summery version of Lolita Lempicka. Watery, airy, a bit like Au Masculine/Homme. To my nose it's completely unisex.

I'm so disappointed. I've lost a friend I dreamed of for decades. I first smelled this perfume when I was a teenager. It wasn't mine, it was a colleague's perfume. I loved it instantly for its wonderful violet smell and sprayed it on a leather item that kept the whiff for months. I smelled a very smooth, comforting perfume that felt like satin. I wasn't able to buy it back then because it wasn't distributed to my country. And I kept dreaming of it over the years. So I bought it recently and couldn't wait to receive it. No way did I know it was going to end in tears - otherwise I wouldn't have bought four bottles! When I first smelled it, I was smoking. Now I'm not. So I'm not anosmic to the licorice anymore. The horrible, pungent, nauseating licorice. The truly animal smell. It's bad in so many ways that it's like a rainbow of ugly. Of course, if you like it, lucky you! I don't like it so I lost a dear friend because I had no idea it had this ugly face to show. For those who like this, they should know it's a knock off Lolita Lempicka Lolita Lempicka. But this one actually has less licorice smell. For me that's a good thing but not good enough as licorice is still the most prominent note. In terms of longevity and sillage, both perfumes are very similar. They are strong perfumes (the damn licorice), keep for most of the day, but stay quite close to skin. They leave a trail only a short while after applying.

Ordered this off (German) ebay in my quest for a licorice-scented perfume. It's a very nice scent, slightly soapy, definitely sweet and powdery in a sandalwood sort of way. To me it really smells like a lighter, less sugary-sweet "Honey and the Moon" from Tokyo Milk. Or very very mildly of a lovechild between Lush's "Snowcake" and a bar of soap. The mimosa in it is very deterring at first, by interrupting the gourmand aspect with its soapiness. I really don't smell much, if any, licorice.

I just got a bottle of this on eBay - it was said to be vintage, but obviously Cosmic Girl is not from 1984,since it's an Angel clone of sorts, so this is a flanker of the original Clin d'Oeil, which I thought I was getting. Anyway, I love it! It is very much like Lolita Lempicka only not nearly as loud - it's like the parts of Angel and LL that I like without the booming brass section. I am also getting the violet and it goes well with the licorice and warmer gourmand and sandalwood notes. I will definitely be wearing this "cheap and cheerful" fragrance a lot!

I've tested Cosmic girl and another one of the Clin d'oeil line recently. The one smelled e-xac-tly like Lolita Lempicka, the same liquorice note there, while the other one was more subtle, with tangerine,jasmine and vetiver as the main notes. I enjoyed the second one. Still I cannot remember if it was cosmic girl or the elusive scent. I'll get back to that. The overall impression, since this is the first time Bourjois perfumes are available in Greece, is good quality, reasonable longevity and great price around 11,5 euros.

I expected it to be only spicy and maybe a bit woody. never did i suppose to smell musk. and there is loads of it... maybe it's the combination of mimosa with violets, but the first half hour is hard on s.one who doesn't stand for the smell of musk. the dry down is pretty though. smooth powder with a bit of spice. it's not the blunt kind of spice, but s.th. that makes people close to you trying to figure what's with the "smooth smelling" ;)

Its so true, this is a lighter version of Lolita Lempicka. And amazingly affordable - I have all 4 of them in a set and this one is the sweetest and most cozy for both winter and spring. spicy soft violets yum!. Amazingly uplifting and comforting scent. Thrilled to bits!! UPDATE: Its not lighter than Lolita - it lasts for at least 4-6hrs and is a tad more powdery. Sooo good.

A much much nicer version of the original Clin d'oeil, which I found somewhat plain. This one is wonderfully spicy and sharper, although it is not very strong and would not hurt your nose.

Exactly like Lolita Lempicka ! It’s also significantly cheaper :D

A very good Lolita Lempicka dupe. Cheap and wears well.
