Illusions Noires Si Lolita Eau de Minuit

I have finally decided to set this fragrance as my "signature scent." It's a strange one in the sense that most people will probably gladly tolerate it, but most probably won't think it is really "for them." I get it. It's somehow really sweet, and also spicy, and also powdery, and so many other things. But I have to admit...that's me. I never really got the idea of smelling a perfume and thinking, "Oh, yeah! That's me in a bottle!" I like things that smell good and interesting, and there's plenty of perfumes that I absolutely love, but I never would have said that about most of them. I still love to switch up my perfumes constantly and experiment with new personas because that's just the kind of person I am. But this one is just the perfect blend of everything for me, and I knew it right away after trying a small decant. I think it's a horrific shame that this perfume was only ever a limited edition. I actually bought my full-size tester bottle of it from a sort of sketchy looking site that will probably come up if you google this fragrance, and it's still extremely reasonably priced on there, and since I know that place isn't a scam now I really should buy another before I post this review, but for the moment I'm still convincing myself because I'm a cheapass person who would rather spend that money on some other fragrance that I'll barely ever use. I've got to face it at some point that this scent is me, and I would be glad to live in it. That's really a special thing to find. I forgot to say, as far as how this compares to the original Si Lolita, I think it's quite different although that similar sweet-floral is there. It's nowhere near the same nor a great substitute. I actually love the original Si Lolita a lot, I even like the EDT too (I think it's a damn shame they're all still discontinued as well), but you're definitely not guaranteed to like this if you like OG Si Lolita and vice versa. I would never call Si Lolita my signature scent, despite that I do honestly like it a lot.

I tried the original version (not sure edp or edt) last year at a shopping mall and thought oh NOOO this is horrible!!! When I see the picture of this midnight version on the internet I'm obsessed as I love the bottle but don't wanna waste money on a frag I can't wear. Finally I surrendered and decided to try my luck for a blind buy. To my surprise, I love the juice as much as I love the bottle! The scent is--I must admit--nothing unique, so you can pass it if your looking for something to blow you away. However I love this perfume as a personal comforter on a cold winter night. On me it's neither sharp or masculine. It's a sweet, soft, powdery and feminine oriental scent, rather linear but totally enjoyable. Patchouli comes most prominent and is well smoothened by vanilla so doesn't smell earthy or heavy. Sweet pea stands from beginning to end but not as loud as other notes, which makes this perfume not so floral but more towards a musky oriental. Amber here is quite light and surprisingly perky, not so woodsy but still leaves a classy and sensual touch with its warmth. I don't find this perfume 'dark' but agree this to be best for evening wear. The lasting power is as good as other LL perfumes yet not a sillage monster.

When I sprayed it first time, it made me smile. That is rare with me. At the very beginning, I keep thinking of cherries which I generally dislike but here is mingled with earthy, sweet but not sugary, slightly bitter, with a tiny hint of fallen leaves. It results in a great smell. Imagine being in a twilight forest filled with cherries, thymes, marjoram, sweet peas, fallen leaves after a very hot day. It's quite addictive. In spite of me liking to change my perfumes every day I cannot stop using it. Update After a year of using it it has become my favourite one as it combines spicy peppers, sweet peas with a hint of warm wood so well and develops into ever interesting fragrance with such a great longevity and make me feel happy. This has a personality like a fairy with a sensual earthy radiance. Warning though. It is addictive.

This fragrance is amazing! Very unique and distinctive. It's warm, creamy, oriental and spicy. It also has quite a masculine side to it. I can see how people say that it has a cola smell to it, I get that too cola and grape with a warm, creamy, spicy base to it. I am a huge fan of Lolita Lempicka and she has yet again smashed it with this perfume. I did blind buy this but it may not be to everyone's taste. I got the large bottle online for approx £35 and I was lucky as I am in love with this fragrance. I am quite open minded with perfumes and i do blind buy a lot of them. I have blind bought around 30 fragrances, and only 2 of them I have not liked. To me this perfume is perfect for a date night or a night out. A very alluring and seductive, sexy fragrance. One to stand out from the crowd.

I thought Si og was heady until I smelled its midnight version. Upon spraying, there is juicy cherry (like real fruit and not artificial), sweet pea with hints of citrus, and a heavy dose of spice. The cherry and spice being the most prominent. On my skin, it soon dried down the dry spicy sandy amber. On a cloth, it remained fruity and juicy and spicy with minimal dryness. On another person's skin, it was similar with fruit and spice. The vanilla gives midnight the warmness that's best for winter and fall. The original si is much brighter, sparklier, and more citrus like champagne or mimosa. If you're a fan, getting both would not hurt as you can switch between the two. Otherwise original si is a safer and less intoxicating. I love and own both version. In general, Si is really underrated.

Another LL blind-buy, based on reviews, notes, and the fact that LL perfumes seem to do very well on my skin. I have tried four or five now and all of them have been delightful. I actually have never tried the original Si Lolita before, but based on how much I like this one I may have to try it next. Until the amber warms up this is a bit harsh, but once it does it blends with the vanilla and sweet pea to be sweet, rich, and nearly alcoholic. The patchouli is present but not super-assertive. As this settles on me it turns into more of the vanilla/sweet pea scent with an amber spice in the background, which I absolutely love. This is a boozy fragrance, almost like a cologne centered around cognac or rum, but in a distinctly feminine way.

I do have the original Si by Lolita and I wanted this because I knew it would be even more provocative and I am not disappointed. You need to sit with this one for a few minutes before smelling as the opening is misleading. If I can be frank the opening reminded me of mayonnaise or a peppery aioli dip. Off putting I know but I can't find another description at the moment but that only last like one minute and then the powdery notes come popping through and the magic happens. This scent is lovely and for a lady who wants to keep a bit of mystery in the air. People will be wondering what you are wearing as they get whiffs of this dusty feminine aroma. I say dusty because it's too powerful to be described as powdery.

Si Lolita eau de Minuit is another fairytale creation coming from Lolita Lempicka. It is similar to Si Lolita but it's a little more edgy and deep, the reason for that are amber and pacthoulli. It opens very peepery the same as Si Lolita and it lasts for about 5 hours on my skin. I like to wear fragrances like that on the days before the storm, when it gets dark and windy and you can smell the freshness of the earth and you think oh, it's a witch hour, time for darker version of Si Lolita. The bottle is gorgeous and I totaly dig the purple witchy colour. I don't have anything bad to say about this one other than I'm so happy I own it.

Absolutely lovely scent. It was a blind buy and it's one of my favourites now. Stronger than Si Lolita and I love it so much I wear it during the day, although I would recommend wearing at night/cold weather. Lolita Lempicka perfumes are truly different, but in a good way. I am new to perfumes, so I can't really describe how it smells, I did watch a review someone describing the original Si Lolita as a fragrance she would wear if she was meeting her secret lover... well, this one is meeting your secret lover when you are dying to see him at midnight. Not for the shy.

Upon spraying, the pink pepper is very noticeable, and gives my nose a nice tickle. Combined with mandarin, it's bright and kind of sharp. As it wears off and the floral notes develop, I feel like I smell dark cherries and fizzy wine! It's so witchy and scrumptious. Patchouli is present throughout the first few hours, although it mostly wears off by the time the base comes through. The end is smooth, delicate, and nutty. The wicked beginning sharply contrasts the fluffy ending! And the bottle is to die for.

I am bemused by so many saying this smells like Si. It does a little for obvious reasons but this is a sexy scent of the night. I love the sweet pea note and it combines so well with the patch and amber. There is nothing girly about this fragrance. Its rich and delectable. The vanilla and pepper accent the fragrance beautifully. Its in my top 10 fragrances. So so sad it was discontinued. Moderate sillage and long longevity.

This fragrance changes a lot depending on weather. Sometimes I smell mostly pepper, sometimes I get more patchouli and amber. Rarely I get a strange note reminding me of coca-cola. I do not know which note is responsible for this effect. The fragrance is deep and sweet at the same time, but not candy sweet. It makes me think of fairies and mythical creatures.

I love this. On me it smells like an ambery patchouli laced woody musk. It is a tad masculine but that is one of the things I enjoy most about it. I would imagine wearing this one in the Spring/Summer would be a tad much unless it was only at night. But for Fall/Winter this would be absolutely divine!

I'm surprised that there are many negative and so-so reactions on this one. I love it just like the original. The difference i find are in warmth and the time when you can use them. The original i find playful and fresh, and the dark one is more sofisticated and warm. ...o yeah, i adore bottles!

This bottle is by far one of the nicest in my collection. The design of it is beautiful, has something fanciful in a four-leaf clover in a purple / burgundy so dark it looks black. The box is beautiful and matches the handkerchief on the neck, everything is the same first line. I would even say that it would be one of the most beautiful gifts that u could give to a woman, but do not advise it is the most eccentric scent I've ever felt. The input it has such a sweet pea, she is earthy, sometimes sick and sweet, is the most striking note, absolutely different from any perfume that I have or have already esperimentado. If you hang in that first half hour, patchouli'll help, calming a bit this damn sweet pea. Still going to be sweet, because he has amber and vanilla in the composition (or think they needed to exaggerate so rsrsr). After an hour, softens, becomes less "sweet Lolita" and from there I really like him, very much. This perfume has the face of a woman hippie chic with loose braids in her hair, with a flamboyant personality who likes things kinky. Not advise a purchase blind, never, it is hard to find and when u import will be tempted to just buy the 100 mls, which was what I did not know if it's a good idea because this is not a brand perfume 'every day'. Already tested in the morning and use it without coffee, and stand a good rest of the day, then, for me, it is not cloying. Fixing it is good and if not I would use to design more lol I think of layering with any other perfume, so I can use it more without nauseate the smell, but still not sure what I could use, I think maybe a woody and dry. Sorry for my english... Este frasco é de longe um dos mais bonitos da minha coleção. O design dele é lindo, tem algo de fantasioso em um trevo de quatro folhas de um roxo/bordô tão escuro que parece preto. A caixa é linda e combina com o lencinho no gargalo, tudo é de primeira linha mesmo. Eu diria até que ele seria um dos presentes mais lindos que vc poderia dar para uma mulher, mas não aconselho pois é um dos perfume mais excêntricos que já senti. A entrada dele tem a tal ervilha de cheiro, ela é terrosa, por vezes enjoada e doce, é a nota mais marcante, absolutamente diferente de qualquer perfume que eu tenha ou já tenha esperimentado. Se você aguentar firme essa primeira meia hora, o patchouli vai te socorrer, acalmando um pouco esta ervilha de cheiro danada. Ainda assim vai ficar adocicado, porque ele tem âmbar e baunilha na composição (acho que nem precisavam exagerar assim rsrsr). Depois de uma hora, suaviza, fica menos "doce Lolita" e a partir daí gosto muito dele, muito mesmo. Este perfume tem a cara de uma mulher hippie chic com tranças soltas no cabelo, com uma personalidade exuberante que gosta de coisas excêntricas. Não aconselho uma compra cega, jamais, ele é difícil de achar e quando você importar vai ficar tentada a comprar logo o de 100 mls, que foi o que eu fiz, não sei se é uma boa ideia porque este não é um perfume do tipo 'todo dia'. Já testei usar ele de manhã e sem tomar café, e aguento numa boa o restante do dia, então, pra mim, ele não é enjoativo. A fixação dele é boa e se projetasse mais eu nem usaria rsrs Penso em layering com algum outro perfume, pra poder usar ele mais, sem enjoar do cheiro, mas ainda não sei bem o que poderia usar, acho que talvez um amadeirado bem seco.

The opening part is strange and very unique smell,I sometimes crave and enjoy it but all in all can't say that I'm crazy about it as a perfume.it's a very fizzy and boozy scent smelling exactly like Coca cola drink with a slight herbaceous and spicy undertone,if I want to liken it to something I'd say a few drops of Seven-up drink and a bit of pink pepper mixed in a glass of Coca Cola,maybe it's pink pepper blending with mandarin and amber,I really donno what creates it just that the result is this familiar,nose-tickling,intresting scent which while being sweet is totally unisex in my book(after all,how can Coca cola have a gender?!) It changes dramatically as middle notes kick in,that unique spicy,sour and sweet,fizzy and boozy,Coca cola-ish smell of opening becomes very light and lingers in background and soft,fluffy heliotrope and sweetpea become dominant.I love heliotrope and sweetpea so as a perfume I start to like it more These florals are wrapped by warm,spicy,powdery amber and herbal patchouli and some vanilla in drydown,it's more feminine than it's first stage and is very pleasant and has a lovely balance.it's sweet but not too much and I can smell almost all the mentioned notes but I can't call it a heavily floral scent,or too much spicy.also even though patchouli and amber deepen the scent and give it this warm,spicy,balmy,attractive and a bit dark quality,they don't overpower I can see lolita si gene here,but this one is darker and warmer but still has very unique,soft and fresh quality of the original It's very pleasant.not too sweet,not too spicy,it has it's own personality which is elegant,sophisticated and seductive but in a casual and easy going way...it's one of scents that I find very hard to explain.it's scent is as unique as it's bottle.unique but easy to like and wearable For me,this is a fall scent,good for cool temperature,but is wearable year round except too much hot summer days.longevity is good as most lolitas and sillage is moderate My best friend gave me a generous decant of it and I plan to buy it when I finished my decant(however it's kind of difficult to find here) edit: Finally I bought a bottle.I can't call it an absolute love but it's addictive and I needed a bottle of it in my life.it's Cola-like opening is delightful and it's deep,comforting dry down is cozy and beautiful.I can smell lots of heliotrope and lots of sweet pea which smell amazing grounded by peppery amber-patchouli base notes

I am usually not a fan of frilly or fussy bottles but this bottle is amazing! It's heavy quality glass and it fits so good in your hand allowing a great grip. I just love how visually appealing this bottle is, really nice quality. Now on to what's in it. It is Si Lolita, just as you expect, full blown pepper opening all thought it does seem toned down a notch compared to the original. This does have a more dark purple vibe to it like it has plum of some dark sweet fruit. Or maybe it is just the sweet pea and patchouli playing a number on my mind with the purple bottle. This is richer and a bit sweeter than the original Si but it still has a unisex quality to it. I prefer it to the original.

I've so many things to say about it but "words don't come easy to me". Warm, elegant, feminine in an adult way and very beautiful. It has the vibe of regular Si Lolita, just darker, deeper, warmer. I smell some delicious black currant note to it. Reminds me a hot black currant drink in a tall glass with spices made by the person you love (and he(maybe she) has added some secret and magic ingredient), cookies and warm blanket on your feet. A warm, thick love syrup. Modern, gourmand chypre. Lovely for cold season. The bottle is a wonder, as allways from Lolita Lempicka. A French careless and really sophisticated elegance!

Just wondering why there're only 4 notes listed there. I got a tester yesterday when their made a discount. These are the notes listed on the label attached with the bottle: Top: Mandarin - Pink peppercorn Middle: Sweet pea -Heliothrope Base: Amber - Vanilla absolute - Patchouli This'quite different from the note list in fragrantica right? I think the list in fragrantica is not correct as I see many ppl can detect the pink peppercorn (one of the missed notes) in this perfume Anyway, I like this perfume, although I bought it because it's discounted and limited edition. Lucky me :D

It's a must have!! Really! For me it's a comb of DKNY Delicious Night and Si Lolita mixed with grapes! A lot of grapes!! Though there is no such note here... It's really different from the original Si Lolita. I'm just so happy to smell a flanker that has a unique soul of it's own and stands out from the original one! Very much recommended!! It's sexy, a little dark and actually a unique scent, nothing like anything i smelled before...Good job Lolita Lempicka!

Vanilla cherry coke with bunch of liquorice. I don’t understand if there red pepper sounds for me like coke? Creamy but also has that fresh aspect from liquorice and cyanide cherry. Mandarins are barely detectable, but add this perfume fruity notes too. Strong and long lasting. Subtle musks appear after approximately 30 minutes. I didn’t smell any patchouli and amber here. Perfume can be annoying if not corresponds your mood of the day. Try before you buy!

First of all, I expected totally different scent - something more sweet than this. It smells much like classical Si Lolita, but it's more amber and incense. At the beginning a little bit unisex but after 5 min. it has started reminding me smell of Luxe Noir Sephora - that black massage jelly. Bottle and box are beautiful - love Lolita's style, chic and advertisement.

Smells like the original Mexican coco-cola in the glass bottle. Those of you familiar with this delicious drink will understand. I mean this in a positive way. Its sweeter than the original and a little less complex but has the same pink pepper. It's both dark and effervescent. I find this fragrance and the original weird and unique, but very wearable.

Kinda like this. The sweet pea note is cute. I find it to be a floral with warm hints. Surprisingly complex dry-down the next morning. Just okay for me.

I recently spotted this on a shelf at a local Marshall's with a huge markdown from its original retail price. Thought I was purchasing Lolita Lempicka "L" but obviously not. Snatched "Si Lolita" up and decided to give it a whirl. Well, I guess I am one of those types who really likes spicy, woody, floral Oriental fragrances. However, I am NOT NOT NOT a fruity, citrus-y, certainly not "mandarin-or-bergamot" type of gal at all...no, no, no. So, without knowing a thing about "Si Lolita," (like me), one cannot miss the INTENSE opening notes of pepper, spice and ORANGE (mandarin, bergamot)...LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of orange. After 10 minutes or so upon spritzing the fragrance, I could literally taste "orange" in my mouth. It wasn't unpleasant...just kinda weird. And truthfully, I felt a wee-bit choked off by the pink pepper; at one point, both pepper and mandarin almost became cloying, IMHO. Had I been near a sink, I probably would have scrubbed. But without available water, I had no choice but to sit and wait. About 20 minutes into the fragrance, I definitely detected the sweet pea & heliotrope notes...very floral and well, sweet. A nice mixture with the pink pepper, orange & spice and a welcome departure from the opening. About 45 minutes later, a few deep, soothing and grounding notes of amber and tonka set in...no patchouli, no elemi, which I think I would have actually liked, so as to balance the earlier notes even more so. But there they were...finally...a few base notes to ground and blend everything else together...thankfully. As one other reviewer mentioned this is a nice "transparent" Oriental that for me would be suitable to wear in the Springtime or Summer...maybe. I like this fragrance but there is something about the "cheerfulness" in it AND the lack of depth...I think the sweet pea & heliotrope...that I really do not like. Oh, and all that bergamot & mandarin. I like my Orientals to be darker, drearier & definitely more decadent-lolol...more mysterious & brooding...way more comforting. There ABSOLUTELY is something in the long awaited base notes (stress LONG-AWAITED) that makes this fragrance hard to abandon; however I wholeheartedly agree with "odysseusm," ie:"...basically, this seems like a floral/green sort of scent, and buttery, harmless but not particularly interesting." Definitely not much longevity or depth on my skin. All in all, a wearable fragrance but not quite the "affordable departure" from my beloved "go-to" fragrances (Musc Ravageur & Jasmin Imperatrice Eugenie) that I have been looking for. Sigh...

Wow – Ok – this is way different to anything in my collection! I’m not sure what I’m smelling but it’s completely unfamiliar to me... Slightly sweet but a soft fragrance – not overwhelming or sharp at all. Slightly floral but I think the main note I am getting seems to be something like grape?? Maybe that’s the sweet pea – I really need to study which notes smell like what so I can identify them properly!! As this fragrance is settling down, it’s becoming warmer and more familiar. I sampled Vintage Poison Extrait a couple of hours ago and, although I thought I scrubbed it all off, I’m now wondering whether that is combining with the Illusions Noires Si Lolita Eau de Minuit because I’m picking up similarities between the two... If it’s not Poison I’m smelling, then Illusions Noires Si Lolita Eau de Minuit does seem vaguely similar to me just fresher and softer. Although the scent is very odd to me right now, I can see myself growing to like this – perhaps craving it even! UPDATE: It’s been about 3 or 4 hours since I sprayed this on now and I think I’m changing my mind – I no longer think this will grow on me – quite the opposite actually. On me the dry down is becoming more and more florally as time goes on and I’m not a fan of full-on florals. I’m not getting the vanilla at all – I’m not even getting any patchouli – just a heady floral that is actually becoming cloying. So unless this is still a result of having had Poison on previously, I don’t think Illusions Noires Si Lolita and I have a future! Darn it, this may be my first Blind Buy that’s really gone bad! : (

This is one seriously delectably tasty scent. Thick, foggy, smoggy, slightly smoked. Boozy as a bottle of, well, booze. I could get drunk on this. It's as thick as treacle and evokes visions of fireworks lighting up the sky by a lakeside in the dead of night. Tart & tangy, with a heap of spice. A hefty helping of.... Peppery cinnamon? The patchouli seems to add a smoky and earthy element to this, which sets it subtly apart from the regular Si Lolita EDP, which I also enjoy. The thickness and smoothness in this version is aided well by the lashings of amber. Cloudier, heavier, less peppery & thus not as well suited for daytime wear, but it is a hairline difference to my nose. They are both extremely sweet. Sweetness in the extreme. The original EDP and this are literally translated correctly for daytime and evening wear. Or summer and winter wear, say. The added spice and heaviness of this makes it the preferred choice for me personally. It lasts an hour or two longer on my skin than the original EDP - which is a clincher. As others have noted - there seems to be something a little fruity here. Something that's not present in the original. I believe that the boozy effect this emits is down to this unknown, unspoken fruit. Possibly baked blackcurrant & apple? Tasty, warm, spicy. So sweet and tangy, it could give you a toothache.... Or melt your skin.

Was milling about in my area doing a chemist perfume exploration and saw this behind the counter for £65!! Of course I had to immediately buy a bottle! I love Lolita Lempicka as a brand, and this did not disappoint- straight up slightly fizzy cherry coke with a scoop of vanilla icecream on top. It has an undercurrent of something almost ‘cologny’, almost like shaving foam (maybe the heliotrope & medicinal patch) and I love that it keeps the fragrance from being one dimensional or sickly sweet. Not a sillage monster like others from L.L but longevity is a solid 7hrs. The bottle is stunning, however it kind of annoys me that it has no cap, just a gold logo thingy that you flip back and forth and doesn’t protect the atomiser at all... Going back for a backup bottle.

I see where people would get the "cola" smell. But to me this smells like Shalimar with a large dose of peony in it. It's like someone took shalimar and mixed it with extra cloves and peony. I do get the patchouli and that really enhances the spiciness. I don't think this is masculine at all. There's also something- probably the cloves that reminds me of Coco before it was reformulated. It is very strong and a little goes a long way. I do think I love this and it's something I will wear during the day in the winter but it has heavy sillage and is very strong so while I love this I could see some people thinking it's too much. I actually bought this for the bottle but I love it SO much! It was a pleasant surprise.

This is warm, spicy, and could be considered unisex thanks to the prominent patchouli and pink pepper. Definitely related to original Si Lolita, but with more oomph to it. This is a sweet pea tinged patchouli and amber fragrance with bursts of pink pepper and smooth vanilla. I don't get any orange in it at all, but a tiny hint of heliotrope adds a light powdery accord (not too powdery, don't let that scare you) and overall makes this smell more expensive than it was. Very well blended from start to finish, and it lasts quite a long time on my skin. The bottle itself is a gorgeous rich deep purple with gold accents. I believe this was an LE flanker in 2012, but it can still be found for relatively cheap all over.

It turns out that Lolita Lempicka Illusions Noires Si Lolita Eau de Minuit is a completely different perfume from its namesake! No elemi; no pepper! Instead, this is a sweet pea perfume similar to the BBW version of that scent, only with some ambery quality. I do not smell a lot in the way of patchouli here. Hmmm... do I smell any patchouli? To my nose, the quality of this limited edition juice seems more like BBW than standard Lolita Lempicka fare. Yet somehow I find this particular composition more appealing than the original, because it is more balanced... The original was so heavy in both elemi and pepper that I found it difficult to wear. Love the bottle--as usual with this line.

Just sprayed this on. Reminds me of relaxing days at the spa, sauna with patchouli essential oil. :) Rather refreshing. Now waiting for the drydown... Next day edit: Okay, this is longlasting! I took a shower, put a banana&coconut lotion on and Oriflame's Love Potion when I left the house today and I can still smell Lolita on my wrist. I tried it yesterday! I can't believe it's still here after all that "treatment".

The opening burst is VERY similar to the original Si Lolita, and then the initial drydown has the same sparkling amber quality that L'ambre des Merveilles and Daim Blond do to me. 'Fizzy', almost. I would swear there was a hefty dose of pink pepper here, spicy sweet and yummy. The similarity to the original and L'ambre des Merveilles is surprising on my skin!

I kind of not like very much the colour of the fragance, at least the photo looks like wine in a perfume bottle. I owned a Si Lolita perfume and the colour was soft yellowish pink and it blended wonderfully with the golden flower rims. Im not sure about this edition, but from a fragance point of view Im prepaired to give to it the benefit of the doubt.

The opening reminds me of the EDP. I'm surprised no pink pepper note is listed, because I thought I smelled it along with the sweet pea! The heart is sharp on me and feels rough, but it softens and becomes woody-musky-ambery in the dry down. I had high hopes for this one, but just like the EDP and EDT, it's not quite perfect on me.

Masculine coca-cola. Also the bottle is so fussy and annoying. Just the flower shape would've been enough, but no, a fussy lid AND a horrid fussy bow as well! Plus it's got about eight names! God forbid an elixir version of this comes out. Or a L'eau. What a dog's dinner this entire thing is, everything but the kitchen sink.

The sweet pea is lovely in this, and the Amber is distinctive and a touch medicinal so it stands out from the original. It lasts well and projects well too. However it's not so different that you need both the original and this one at the same time.

Masculine smelling like the mens lolita lempicka. Anise is prominent, sweet warm and earthy. Not my cup of tea. Also reminds me of the discontinued Gucci in the dark brown flat squarish bottle: Gucci Eau de Parfum Gucci for women

The oppening reminds me the Si Lolita EdP, but after this one becomes different... more sensual and sexy, while the Si Lolita is very delicate and warm. Anyway, its a very beautiful perfume. I really love it! :)

I was on the fence with Si Lolita, but with Illusions Noires Si Lolita Eau de Minuit I was in love immediately. This lovely fragrance has a 'purple' essence. I highly recommend this beautiful creation.

I tried this recently in France. I really prefer the original Si Lolita, I love it. On me the eau de Minuit smelled similar but with something that smelled like grape juice added in, I didn't like it.

just bought it yesterday here in Prague, in an E-shop, inexpensive,the bottle is sweet, the frag is ok, giving it to my dad though, a little too masculine feel for my taste...

Gorgeous..... Very bohemian. Cherry pie and Vanilla, with a hint of spice. a gorgeous bottle too.

i want it for the bottle alone. love original si lolita. hopefully i can fin in usa

I have one bottle left for sale. Message me if interested.

In a way the fragrance reminds me of Tom Ford Femme.
