L'Eau au Masculin

Today i got this version of Lolita's masculine fairytale and im so happy with it. I will tell you why: In my country the masculine Lolita's are not that popular. So i had totally no references of sniff testing.. did some research about the notes of the 3 masculines and read several reviews it drawed my attraction. Now today at a local pharmacy i saw a fairly bargain priced L'eau on the table.. Yeah finally ! GOT-IT I expected a watered down little brother of LLAM so i did not expected anything deep,strange mix of different notes in this one. The first sniff after a spray on the wrist was fresh,spicy and peppery but in a menthol citrus way but very subtile and lite..(not as toothpaste as someone says here) The smell is very , very light! Dont expect a spicy bomb in the beginning. I smell the lemon verbena right away but it fades away in 5 minutes to 10 mins. I was almost very dissapointed because i actually thought it really was a watered down version of the original LLAM. Then the scent almost vanishes?? ehhh...Huh??? it has an interval of very light smell of 1 minute and then.. BOOOM! Whoaa a smooth warm , sensual scent kicks in & evolves with more sillage and projection! quiet interesting because in the next 30-60 minutes this scent becomes stronger and stronger! (it grows on you) Its get more sensual and minty lemony but in a sweet lemony kinda way. Its more spicy oriental floral then green, as the green comes in later with the vetiver This scent goes on and on and will provide a good sillage and longevity... Its magic, and it gots me under his spell. Then after an hour or so the deep woody vetiver makes his appearance and my my... it becomes even better! making it more and more masculine. Interesting fact to know L'eau de masculine is the only scent where Violet woodsorrel is used in!. (getting curious where i can find this flower/plant) I think this note helps making this scent so special! its truly unique. This is a masterpiece right away! its magic.. Beginning is unisex,middle part tends more to feminine but in a seductive indian pasha way and ends truly masculine! Very underrated here. Im so curious to test the other 2 masculines now (as one of the nose of A.Mennardo) Im glad i got the chance of having it and thank you Lolita please go on with your magic. ---> thumbs n noses up!

Just received this in the mail. I don't know if it sitting in the mailbox in this freezing cold did the trick, but after the first application, I felt a rush of cool that had probably had nothing to do with the temperature. Dried prunes right off the bat with hints of olives and lemonade. I think I smell mint undertones that gives a vineyard vibe. Just been 10 minutes wearing this and it has already shot into my lifetime collection staple. One of the most unique scents ever, although in no way is it safe. Definitely a day-night smell. I can see this working on my body in the summer as well. Outstrips Versace the Dreamer as my best blind buy ever! Now to check out the dry down and I have a feeling I'm about to have my new signature frag. Drydown has a black ink smell to it...very earthy. If this had to have an image associated with it, I'd say cool evening rain....castle atop a hill overlooking a sea and a ginormous vineyard and distant forest. Olive hit in the drydown could give it a borderline unisex feel, but not so. This is definitely an elegant masculine scent. Sits close to the skin...but longevity should be 5+ hours on a bad day. Still can smell it on my arm after a long shower. Can't think of any alternative to this (perhaps rolling around in olive-mint pickle would do the trick). Definitely a class apart. Near perfect romantic scent.

This stuff is really nice. Got mine for less than $50 on eBay even though it's discontinued, so I think that's a relatively amazing value. Great fragrance too, this emphasizes more of the floral and what I believe must be the ivy note and a little bit of tart citrus off the top, but not much. Otherwise, the original Au Masculin DNA is still present but it's more of the backbone on which some other notes lie. It's fresh, I find it really gentlemanly, this isn't as candied and sweet as the original although I also find that the OG also has gentlemanly facets, this smells just a little more sophisticated though, I think you could potentially wear this formally even. I haven't tested it enough to rate the longevity or anything like that, the true test will come this spring and summer if it can last in the heat which is when it's meant to be worn presumably. I'm also not sure whether I like or love this, I'm not completely blown away by it yet, but I really, really enjoy it and it's so unique as far as my spring and summer rotation goes I just don't have anything quite like this. If you can find this in the $50 range, absolutely get it because it's worth that for sure and I might even say go up to 60 or 70, but it's not worth $100 or $150 like some people are selling it for.

I got this today at a very good price for 100 ml (34,95 euro). In the Netherlands where I live the Lolita Lempicka fragrances for men aren't popular at all, so I came accross this scent by accident in a small perfume/drugstore. I tried this, spent the whole day sniffing other perfumes at other stores, but eventually came back to this one. A few days later I bought it somewhere else where it was cheaper, and I'm really happy with it :) Note that I am a woman who likes women, so I wanted a scent that wasn't as girly as the Lolita Lempicka for women fragrances, but still has the same quality, depth and non-synthetic smell. I was also looking for an earthy green kind of scent. This fragrance is green/ floral with a little bit citrus mixed in. It smells natural/green/fresh but it still has sweetness, sweetness in a sophisticated way. I think this will smell a little more manly on a man, because most men (with sufficient testosterone) have a muskiness to their natural body scent which will mix with this fragrance. Me being a woman don't have that natural muskiness, so it works very well on me and doesn't smell overly manly, just a bit, just enough for me. All in all I really like this :)

L'Eau is unmistakingly a flanker to LL Au Masculin. I was expecting L'Eau to be an entirely different scent based on some of the reviews, but the first thing I picked up after spraying this was the same black licorice/anise note in Au Masculin. It's much lighter than the original, but it's there, and prominently so. The vanilla and the sweetness are gone, and instead you get a light lemon verbena, a dab of citrus, and a tad bit of woods over a black licorice/anise base. This is an excellent springtime fragrance. If you enjoy Au Masculin and want to be able to wear it in warmer weather, this fits the bill perfectly. A very safe blind buy in that regard. I highly recommend that anyone who is interested in this grab a bottle before they are all gone. Lolita Lempicka lost their license/distributor and is no longer producing their men's fragrance line. Once these are gone, they may be gone forever.
