Elle L'aime

Creamy! Not cloying, but a bit heady at first spray. Then soft, soft and more soft... but creamy. IMO this is a beautiful, soft, beachy type of fragrance. The lime is the most dominant note for me, soft but mixed well with the coconut which is more of a green fresh coconut, not a pina colada type of sticky coconut. You can definitely detect the bergamot and ylang-ylang. The jasmine is sweet and softly swirls around the rest of the fragrances composition. I truly think this is best described as soft and creamy. The only drawback to this fragrance is the SOFTNESS, I cant help but wish it was louder, as it is a very fun, pretty fragrance that I wish would would SCREAM a bit more. I have found myself spraying generous amounts of it, hoping to boost its soft SEXY oomph... I can see wearing this after a day in the sun and a cool shower. Perfect when you head back out on the beach in sandals, wrap around skirt and a off the shoulder peasant top for dinner and tropical night life. I think it is yummy and romantic. I can just picture wearing it on bare shoulders and having my husband nuzzling in, inhaling and sharing a seductive kiss. I am planning on packing it for a cruise this summer. I am looking forward to wearing it for all occasions as it warms up. Even though I like my fragrances a bit on the bold side I am addicted to this soft and creamy juice. I keep lifting my wrist to my nose to deeply inhale this soft but very sexy fragrance. Sillage is soft ;) and longevity is average I may just go spray my pillows and sheets and dream of beach vacations and cruising....ahhhh, so soft and creamy. LOL...did I mention it is soft? ;)

A strong, creamy blend of coconut and vanilla, complimented beautifully with lime, jasmine and sandalwood! Absolutely gorgeous scent! A floral oriental, verging on gourmand. I agree with another reviewer that said the scent smells like buttery cookies. Somehow it does, like Coconut Lime cookies or some sort of Coconut Key Lime tart, with graham cracker crust! It's so light, beautiful and delicious. Refreshing, but comforting at the same time. I also agree with the suntan lotion comparison, but perhaps that is what I like about it? It encapsulates the carefree feelings and memories of summer. To top it off, the bottle is exquisite, heavier than I expected, and looks stunning amongst my little collection. Currently one of my favorites! I would say sillage is moderate. The lasting power on me is about 4-5 hours, but it's a scent I like so much, I wouldn't mind re-applying. I expect it will work well in the heat, I can't wait to find out. I will definitely be trying this out for a day at the beach. I ordered this perfume after receiving recommendations on the Fragrantica forum for a tropical/coconut fragrance -- thank you! Elle L'aime Lolita Lempicka is so beautifully blended and everything I was hoping for in a light, tropical fragrance for summer! <3

As the old song says, they "put the lime in the coconut and mixed it all up" in this beautiful fragrance from the folks at Lolita. I tried a sample of this and fell instantly in love so of course I ordered a full size bottle. It just came today and every time I catch a whiff of that delicate lime and understated coconut mixed in with what smells like a pepper note (must be the bergamot) it makes me smile. I catch the jasmine and neroli as middle notes and the drydown mixes that lovely sandalwood with just a touch of myrrh. I *swear* I get a strong hint of cedar in there but since that's not listed it must be the bergamot that's coming through for me. Upon first spritz it seemed to sadly evaporate off my skin nearly instantly but as I went about my chores around the house I could clearly detect it on my skin. I'd give it a "moderate" for longevity. Looking forward to making this one of my autumn staples this year. Hurry up, cool weather! I think this will smell like dynamite while crunching leaves in my knee boots. :)

I agree with gtabasso -this smells like hairspray on first spritz. But, be patient- After 15-20 min. the dry down is lovely, and the hair spray aspect goes away- It becomes fresh lime, neroli, ylang & jasmine with creamy coconut vanilla -- I love the drydown. The first day of wear (87, moderate humidity) I spritzed this on my skin 5x and the dry down was dreamy, sophisticated tropical and notable for hours. Performance is v. good, but does not project beyond one's own personal space. The second day of wear (hot 98, v. humid day) , I spritzed this on my clothing 2x & 2x on skin - the clothing spritzes were a mistake because the hairspray opening aspect stuck on my clothes for hours (not sure if the heat/humidity had anything to do with it), but the spritzes on my skin smelled great- so spray this one on skin NOT clothes. Edit: Try layering this with other coconut fragrances: SJP Crush or CSP Coco Extreme or CSP Vanille Coco for an improved coconut/vanille jolt ;-)

I have had this perfume in my collection for a good few months now! I love the house of Lolita lempicka, one of my favourite notes is coconut and I was so curious to see LL's take on a coconut summer fragrance! when I first purchased this I mainly got a myrrh note with Lime.. I never knew what Myrrh smelt like before i purchased but to me it instantly smelt of church. Because it smelt so unique i was never sure when to wear this? Few months passed and i decided to test it out the other day, I still get an intense myrrh, lime and I get a creamy coconut which blends everything so well. Longevity was super weak when first purchased.. now i would say it's moderate but just need to overspray If you're looking for a lactonic coconut I wouldn't recommend this. In my mind this is what a goth would smell like but in summertime..this one is for the unique people. ♥ overall I enjoy this fragrance, but still unsure when to wear this!

I've been wearing this one lately and at first I was thinking it wasn't what I'm really into but it's starting to grow on me. It reminds me of Burberry Brit with the lime opening and sweetness. But the ylang ylang and coconut is STRONG on this which gives the sunscreen feel, whereas that one has a powdery almond. I like that this fragrance isn't synthetic or overwhelmingly sweet, I can see this being worn in both summer and Autumn. I prefer this over Beach Walk by Maison Margiela, but I prefer Jennifer Aniston's Near Dusk over this one as that one captures the smell of an ocean breeze with coconut (although Elle has much better projection and lasting power). I'm not sure if I really like it as much as others, yet I've used a surprising amount already so maybe I secretly love it aha. I LOVE layering Paradise by Nest over this which is a blood orange scent, it smells so delicious that I can't stop huffing my arm hahah!

Absolutely divine!!! I just tried this today and it was another love at first sniff!! It's extremely dense, rich, creamy, sweet, warm & sensual... In the car back home I kept smelling the paperstrip, I really couldn't stop, so addictive it is!! I was trying to figure out what notes I was smelling, but couldn't quite put my finger on it. I was guessing it would have vanilla and probably coconut and I was thinking something boozy (rum maybe?). Now I got home and finally can see what notes are listed and at least I had 2 of them right :) I really gotta have this perfume! It's drop dead gorgeous!! Breathtakingly beautiful! ♥♥♥♥♥ EDIT: Now that I have it I can tell that on my skin it has excellent sillage for 2 - 3 hours. After this it becomes softer, but still very noticeable. Good longevity as well. 9+ hours on me.

"You put the lime in the coconut ". Anyone my age will remember that song by Harry Nillson. That was such a fun song and it was a great time. This poor perfume that gets no respect reminds me of the song when I put it on. Usually I don't like lime in my scents, but the one in this is so soft and shy that it doesn't overwhelm you. The coconut is sneaky, it's there, it's not, it's back again, just lingering in the background. I have seen a description under other perfumes about a perfume smelling fizzy, now I understand what they mean, this is a effervescent smell. It doesn't last long, but while it does, I am happy. And the beauty of it is, I can reapply it! So in my opinion this makes me happy. I will put the lime in the coconut if it gives me the same results.

UPDATE: I have since tested this fragrance on a couple of hot days, and it is TO DIE FOR! I wore it while swimming and the scent wafting up from my skin coupled with the scent of the saltwater was heavenly! Yesterday, I layered this with a little Aquolina Gold Sugar -- no better combination! Sweet, summery deliciousness! SECOND UPDATE: I just wore this fragrance to a friend's birthday party over the weekend, and I received two unsolicited comments that I smelled "delicious" --- YES! I had this scent layered with Sol de Janiero's Brazilian Crush body mist and it was incredibly intoxicating! Elle L'aime is one of the only scents I own that I know can be successfully layered and tailored to your mood or any spring/summer occasion. In love with this fragrance!

I have Elle L'aime and the Folie flanker. On both bottles the only name that appears is Elle L'aime at the bottom. However side by side the visual difference is clear. Elle L'aime is a clear bottle with gold letters. Folie is a gold bottle with clear letters. I also noticed the liquid of Folie is much darker. Still, it is quite confusing if you can't remember which is which! IMHO Both are beautiful fragrances in their own right and I am hard pressed to pick a favourite. On me, the original with the focus on lime and coconut is a little more playful and perhaps better suited for day time wear whereas Folie Is more sultry and smooth with the emphasis on the floral aspect, I find it quite buttery too ;o) Both are gorgeous and both are worth owning.

I could test this perfume nowhere, so I had to make a "blind buy". Well, Lolita Lempicka never disappointed me before - so I thought "why the heck not?". Now that I received it and sprayed it on my wrist, I must say: it is different from the other Lolita Lempicka perfumes, but it's certainly addictive too. The first thing I noticed was that intense, thick, bright tropical, flowery-coconutty WHIFF of perfume. I just thought "careful with this one!", as it is really intense. But I liked that! I don't smell too much of lime, though. I think it is just blended well. :) If you don't spritz too much, it is a perfume to enjoy. Warm, sweet, tropical, a bit musky - perfect for an evening in a cocktail bar. It will last you a long time.

I was looking for a simple fragrance to be worn in the hot summer days in Rome, and I walk to work everyday so I needed something that would not prevent people to take the elevator with me once I reached my office. This definitely smells LIKE summer, it makes me think of those utmost-relaxation moments when you enjoy a cornetto with your friends at the beach kiosk, surrounded by blossoming bushes and still covered in salt water and sunscreen. I smell the coconut - which is nicely balanced by the myrr and sandal - the ylang-ylang and a bit of neroli/jasmine bouquet. This is gonna be my go to when I need a quiet yet unusual perfume for the hot summer days. And the price is great! Only con: the longevity was a bit disappointing.

Absolutely beautiful! The fragrance is magical and the bottle - stunning! Most of the Lolita Lempicka perfumes I've tried all seem to have a common factor but this one is different. On me, the coconut is the prominent note. I detect a hint of myrrh which gives it a touch of warmth and keeps it grounded. I don't get any citrus. I applied it lightly and can still smell it clearly. I never over apply and like my fragrance close to the skin. This doesn't scream "girly girl" in my opinion but it's feminine and just lovely. Perfect for a summer night. If you're a lover of sweet scents, you should definitely try this! I've been wearing it a couple of hours and already gotten compliments!

My goal is to collect as many Lolita Lempicka's bottles as I can and so I got Elle L'aime and I can say that I'm not disappointed even though I was quite skeptical as the overall description of this fragrance doesnt's sound like typical LL. But hey, I'm not complaining, it's a really good coconut perfume for summer days with average longevity. There's a lot of vanilla in it too and some sweet lime. It's sweet but at the same time fresh and I think it's a perfect combo. I'm waiting for the summer as I get the feeling me and Elle L'aime will be spending a lot of days together.

I got my FB yesterday and was keen to rip into it straight away to see if it was as nice as I remembered from my little sample. It is perfect for summer time, a bright burst of lime followed by a sweet warm coconut. The dry down was a delicious warm woody vanilla that I could still smell the next day! The citrus notes help the coconut from being too sickly sweet (as in bronze goddess and sensuous nude). As an oriental lover I struggle to find a fragrance for hot days but this is just perfect. I absolutely love this and would consider getting a back up bottle.

Personalmente me gustaba mucho esta fragancia y la usaba cuando vivía en una ciudad de un clima más fresco/otoñal luego me mudé para una ciudad de clima más cálido y ya nunca lo volví a usar aquí, pero la principal nota que sentía era el coco, pero un coco "elegante", creo que no era una frangancia tan informal, a mí me olía sofisticada. Yo particularmente no sentía casi el aroma a mirra o especiado, sí sentía un toque ácido o cítrico, pero predominaba un coco con algo más, que quizá eran las notas florales, que en mi opinión estaban bien integradas.

I have a difficult time with some coconut scents. I really love the smell of coconut but I must be anosmic to some of the aroma chemicals they use in some perfumes. For this, I get straight up sunscreen smell. It's a gentle scent. Not weak, just soft and comfortable. I love the dry down, though frankly that's mostly all I get from this. Sunscreen on top and a quietly beautiful base. I seem to like it more in hot weather when it smoulders on my skin. I layer it with The Body Shop coconut products to fill in the coconut I'm missing from this.

Divine fragrance! The bottle is stunning as are all LP bottles but in my opinion this one is ultra classy and looks very expensive. The fragrance is exquisite; I wore it out last night and felt like a million dollars. It smells like sunscreen and coconut but with a citrus twist. I have a bottle of Avon's Far and Away Exotic which is vaguely similar although synthetic and cheap in comparison to this fabulous gem. I can't recommend it highly enough if you adore Lolita Lempicka's unique frags. A must have!!!

I have a mini of this and I am in love. Elle l'aime is soft, warm, coconut and vanilla. I can pick up hints of freshness from the citrus, but it's nicely grounded by creamy sandalwood. The scent's character is sweet, flirty, and feminine, but again that creamy sandalwood in the base keeps this comforting and cozy. It feels like lounging in the park, on a soft yellow blanket, and feeling the warmth of the sun alternating with a soft cooling breeze. This is what I want to smell like all spring and summer.

After the first spray it starts with a sweet note which I really like, it's a floral oriental. I haven't worn this for a full day so I will update after a day of wearing it, it's quite nice and Limey sweet . It's lasting and wonderful. I will definitely purchase a full bottle. This is a warm woody citrus smell, I am thinking of those orange glazed Popsicles with vanilla ice cream in the middle. The sandlewood give it a nice woody base as well as some creaminess and classy expensive feel.
