Lola At Coat Check

I bought this after a fragrance fitting from a boutique. It’s like nothing else I have in my small collection. I tend to favor masc leaning woody smells but recently started to like gourmand scents. I have no idea why! It took me a minute to truly love this one but now I am pretty obsessed with it because it blends both woody and sweet so well. It opens with a burst of light pink pepper and grapefruit with the cardamom holding them together. Then quickly transforms into the middle notes. For the longest time, I could not distinguish the white chocolate and caramel within the floral notes. Now I can but it’s more like a very lightly sugared rim of a fresh cocktail rather than a nose burning sugar bomb. The florals are there but not indolic or overpoweringly femme. All along the base notes are present but really emerge in the dry down. Sandalwood is creamy and is blended very well with the cedar and vetiver, which are really the stars to me in this scent. I love the brand’s storytelling and the accompanying playlist is perfect. The 90s music and the blend of perfume notes remind me of the popular boy scents of the time. Like Cool Water and New West but without the aquatic notes. Just fresh and woody with an updated modern touch. I love this one so much and find myself reapplying throughout the day. That brings me to my only complaint, which is that on my skin, the longevity and silage are pretty weak. That makes me sad because Lola is definitely that girl. Even so, I’m keeping her and loving the scent journey and how she lingers on my clothes. Also, there are several other scents in this line that are jewels too. Edit: I’ve had this for a few months now and either I’ve just figured out how to apply better or the open bottle has aged it a bit, but now I can smell this all day. I LOVE it! I wear it every Monday to help me get through how offensive Mondays are! And also whenever I just want to feel a little extra badass.

Out of the three Discoteque fragrances I have, Lola at Coat Check is the most gourmand, the sweetest, the creamiest and the one that sits closest to the skin/ least intense/less projecting. Which is such a shame because the scent itself is to die for... If you are a fan of creamy sandalwood/cedar and powdery orris root, but you like a bit of white chocolate and white florals in your perfume, Lola will be your thing. It is such a wonderful, well composed, well balanced, sweet, woody, soft spicy, aromatic, white floral scent that doesn’t smell like the typical designer release, but has an absolutely addictive quality. Easy to reach, every day kind of perfume, but a bit more elevated and distinctive. On me, it’s mostly a skin scent with low sillage and 5-6 longevity, which will prevent me from upgrading from the travel sizeI I have to getting a full size bottle. Call For A Good Time and All Night Until the First Light are more intense, longer lasting and have better sillage, meanwhile Lola at Coat Check is equally as beautiful but lacks in the performance. Unisex, more feminine leaning because of the sweet, gourmand aspect and most seasons appropriate (except winter) because it is quite subtle and light, which makes it wearable all year long. Love the scent a lot but definitely overpriced for such low performance. For those loving (gourmand) skin perfumes, this will be a treat! Edit 15.05.2026 Worn it twice this week and I have noticed that it actually performs very well. On clothing is lasting for days on and it creates a scent bubble around me. I’m really impressed with this and would certainly recommend to anyone who is interested in this fragrance. It’s beautiful and performs well!

My first reaction to this was «It has to be coconut in this?» But it is not listed, so I don’t know what my nose is trying to pick up, but I swear. The first spray of this is fresh coconut! The perfume itself is intimate and cozy with a prominent, sweet cardamom and a delicious white chocolate. Maybe it is the mix of these that make me get coconut? Nevertheless this is a creamy scent sent from heaven! The jasmine soon emerges but everything is well blended and even though it is very sweet it still feels pretty refined. Intimate and shy from afar but warm and cozy close up. It really is a perfume you want to inhale. And everytime you go in for a new sniff you smell something new. When it dries down it feels like a thick vanilla scent? I guess that would be some blending of carmel/sandalwood/cardamom my nose misreads. Anyways – it fit together and gives almost this kind of vacation vibe. Like going out and eating a gelato after a long day at the beach. After a while it may start to feel a bit too thick and cloying with the caramel, almost a sunscreen note in a way. But all in all, I do love the usage of white chocolate. So even though I feel like that particular note is problematic it never actually goes so far as to being too much for me. I will have to say that I am a bit dissapointed in the longevity for this one, since ‘All Night’ and ‘Sweat, Tears and Paradise’ had such insanely longevities. Enough about that, this still is my definite favourite from this brand, and I will have to have a full size of this one. I mean, have you seen the bottles? They are so darn cute.

What a knockout. Really hard for me to describe this one as many others have said, really well blended so I can only really pick out clearly chocolate, cardamon, orris and caramel. On me, this is a white chocolate base that’s woody, sweet (vanilla coffee syrup type sweetness) and powdery. However it’s not powdery in a way like the my other fragrances that lean powder puff / lipstick. The powder in this burns the nose a little, it doesn’t dominate the perfume but when you catch it gives you a middle finger. The middle finger has got black chipped nails. I get why people find this too powdery, it’s not a traditional orris, it’s sharper but coated in layers of melted white chocolate and gooey caramel. Very interesting and dare I say unique. I was surprised there is no hazelnut / chestnut in this, definitely comes across faintly nutty on me, but that may be the powder or the cardamom. a messy but chic girl’s version of sweet perfume. Perfect for me. One of the few perfumes I’ve met that I feel works for my personality as well as it does. I am now Lola! Give me your ugly coat! Only complaint, a scent like this should be louder and project more. It’s not weak per se but it’s not projecting as much as I’d like to either. For that reason, I will only grab this on sale as I will need more sprays than what I would usually allow for perfumes. Lola’s softened my heart a little with needing more sprays = never buying. I layered this with gucci bloom EDP and now I live in a dreamscape <3

This is such a knockout fragrance. It’s so dark, flirty, and mysterious. The imagery I get when I smell this is literally the title, but Lola is not the coat check. Imagine being at coat check, in a club like Studio 54 - your senses are overcome with stimulation from every angle, and then you see her: Lola. She’s quiet, demure, and oh so enticing. The others are loud, but she’s commanding through just her presence, and she knows it. This fragrance is definitely dark, but not really in a gothic way. The woodsy notes definitely make it deep, while the orris gives this powdery quality that I think deepen the mystery. It’s definitely brightened with the pink pepper and grapefruit, and the white chocolate I can smell throughout, and it’s definitely helping to I think make it sweet enough to keep it from smelling really earthy. I don’t know how to describe it other than I see Lola, and I wanna know who she is. She is that girl, and she’s got a hold of everyone in that club. I definitely think this fragrance is unisex, maybe leaning a liiiiittle feminine, but I think if you’re a guy wearing this, it takes a man who understands that there’s power in the feminine to pull this off. I don’t know? Like, if you wear this, you have to rock it, and you’ll be that b*tch. I absolutely adore this scent, and will always, always, always have this in my collection.
