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.

There isn't a single fragrance I own and have tried, apart from the original Eau Masculine, that smells anything like this, it is pretty unique. (The original and the newer release Lempicka Homme I find both too strong and gourmandish) Well maybe Lalique White comes to mind? with its peppery notes and that slight medicinal/drugstore vibe, especially in the beginning. This Lolita morph into something warmer and richer, a sweeter, thicker and deeper smell. Certainly not a summer fragrance in my opinion, more a cool spring or autumn scent. Actually I have worn it in winter as well, it is saturated enough. You can still get a reasonably priced bottle. I wouldn't pay anything over 100 USD for it though. Nice bottle!

I bought this blindly as it came with a nice price and I was really curious about it. Gamble paid off! This is a fresh and semi-green scent. Highly recommended to those who want a fresh scent bur don't want boring citruses to dominate. Right off the bat you will get verbena and the liquorice. This keeps the composition a well balanced fresh-sweetness. So what you get here a fresh and slightly sensual effect. It is denser than airy aquatics. When the dry down comes, you get very well done wood. Reminds me of pencil shavings. Longevity and projection is medium. Great fresh and green scent without dominating citruses. I approve of it !

Great masterpiece fragrance (The Whole composition is -One of a kind!-) , I think it's even better on all levels than the original one (in blue bottle) despite some similarity. This one is not too sweet and has quite woody licorice / olive wood background and more on a masculine side . Lasting power is amazing with great silage. Great as a signature fragrance too. Colleges at work are always notice and give me some compliments including strangers on a street. Give it a try! Highly recommended.

I dind this composition very good-it is calming and plesnt o me(i am a female who often wears male scents). The woods and everything else are interesting but very very subdued and inoffensive. The scent sits xlose to skin so if you want something that is there dor you,this noce, warm, slightly sweet scent might be worth trying.

So, now I have it, and in fact I bought it despite its similarity to the standard male scent by Lolita Lempicka. It's really hard to spot a difference: Perhaps this one is both lighter and spicier, but really, you only need both if you are totally into it. And this is exactly the reason why I gotta have it. ****

It's magic in a bottle. Bewitching, elegant, seductive and intoxicating. An amazing surprise. Longevity is superb. A must have for those who want to try something very special at a reasonable price. Thanks for the "tip" ericrico. I bought mine based on your review and no regrets at all.

A new male fragrance by Lolita Lempicka, now that's what I call good news! However, I don't quite understand why the text above says that the "flacon has the same shape as previous editions for men," when in fact it's obvious that the shape may be similar, but be no means identical.

Sincere gratitude to MrMookie for recommending this fragrance to me. It was not something I would have otherwise considered. Very clearly, it is not a watered-down version of LLaM. It is a very solid composition that is unique and delectable on its own qualities. This is, indeed, very nice. A little history - I have been purchasing Lolita Lempicka's fragrances for my wife for many years (since the late 90's when the line first came on the market - starting with the true original)! My association has always been that it is a feminine line, and a good one at that...always a bottle or two around for her. It was unique, whimsical, and playful bottle (the original) - inside was a great scent! A nice and sweet, licorice-infused concoction of notes (a great blend with her Mediterranean body chemisty) that she wore regularly. Very sensual and sexy! Currently, for the last Spring/Summer, she has worn Fleur Defendue. A very nice scent - but nothing like the original...the almonds, cherries and violets (with peony) are unique. Something for a true change and different - a compliment and attention getter (but not too loud). Again, that whimsical quality is there - and also playful while tasteful. Now, my connotation is important. As I associate Lolita Lempicka with sweet, playful and feminine scents on my wife. I smelled LLaM and felt it tried to be a slightly-masculine version of the Original Lolita Lempicka, but rather poorly accomplished. I disguarded the entire line. My mentality is that if the original fragrance of a line is done poorly, flankers are often no better (plus, the feminine connotation reverberated in my head). MrMookie then shared with me his experience with L`Eau au Masculin Lolita Lempicka. This did not follow in the footsteps of any release from the house to date. His review (and personal recommendation really touched on some things I am currently looking for in a scent). I was able to procure a bottle for a fair price and I am very glad I did! Excellent top notes for me - this goes on with a fresh and invigorating lemon verbena (excellent note here done very well) with a nice dash of pink pepper that warms into the heart perfectly of jasmine and an interesting note of violet wood sorrel (a species of violet that has a slightly lighter note than what is normally found in male fragrance), but is actually edible and adds a zesty note in salads (but only small quantities can be used)! I find this fascinating. A true woody spicy forms on the skin in the dry down - which I find to be very nice. The whole composition seems to wear seamlessly and very naturally (which is entirely opposite of LLam) and the key note that offers the base is a nice vetiver - clean and fragrant while olive wood adds a bit of both greenness and vigor. Unique notes again - but done very well. I find this to be a very fragrant and enjoyable wear in warm weather (90 degrees Fahrenheit, low humidity). Not great sillage/projection, but I applied liberally after a shower and shave with a neutral balm and on my clothes - and touched up before leaving the house into the warmth of the day. MrMookie mentioned to me how this would wear better on perhaps a little greasy, uncleansed or not "shower-fresh" skin. He is definitely correct. I find the vetiver and olive tree (along with the peppered lemon verbena) really "breathe" on the skin (and clothes touching warm skin). I know, because I did a light reapplication after about 4 hours today. It only took 4-5 sprays and it was alive and well - my skin not clean and this helped! Excellent summer scent that will do excellent in the heat. This never loses its freshness and vibrant notes though. It is also not sweet or cloying in any way. It is a very well-done, fragrant scent that is of quality and original composition. I see it as a day scent - with the vetiver/wood base transitioning to perhaps something richer in the evening. Recommended. Thank you again, MrMookie, my friend! My score 8+/10. A bottle for my warm weather rotation this spring and summer. Cheers! **Update** - after a full day's wear of this (with the reapplication making this really impress), I took my white classic polo shirt off. It smelled so good on it. My wife gave me at least 3 compliments today! The last one was interesting (as I know she loves Lolita Lempicka)...she said she thought on her olive skin and the balmy warmth, that this could be very sensually unisex. We gave it a go before intimacy and it smelled wonderful. As pointed out by Zenio below, this wears different on a woman. My wife retained the nice lemon verbena and beautiful florals with a nice layer of warmth - but the vibe on myself is definitely more masculine. Truly excellent and one my wife said, "Leave it out so we can share, honey". I most certainly did...I married a sassy girl with taste and one who is not timid. Not all women could pull this off, but mine did. Great fragrance that I now see in an even better (and different) light. Amazing how male/female body chemistry can alter a scent...

I have a tester and it reads the same notes that Endymion mentioned a few reviews down. With that being said it does have the licorice/anise vibe as the original albeit lighter. The original has also been reformulated so this might be a good option if you can't find it. This is a summer version of the original as the citrus and floral notes are apparent in the first hour or so but the DNA of the original is most present. Sillage and longevity are not as good but overall I like it as it projects well for the first 2 or 3 hours and lasts up to 6.

Interesting sharp citrusy opening, quite retro; the bitter quality of the verbena is very apparent as is the dry spiciness of the pepper. The transition from top to heart is unique; a brief green/leafy moment that introduces the softly sweet florals. Turns a bit soapy as the jasmine meets the vetiver, and a woody-powdery sweetness develops, softly echoing the original. Intriguing and magical in its multifaceted development; this Lolita is quite an experience. Similar in overall feeling to Prada IdV but sweeter and more complex.

The immediate opening is divine. In the first few seconds after applying, while alcohol is prominent, the scent reminds me of some herbal spicy liqueur, or vermouth perhaps. Absolutely gorgeous gourmand tasty liqueur goodness. Unfortunately, that goodness doesn't last too long, and before you know it, you're left with a mere skin scent. I wouldn't pay the ~$70+ per 100ml for it, but it's a pretty decent and inobtrusive fragrance.

Got an opened but almost full 50ml bottle of this I'm trying to get rid of and cannot give away. If anyone from The UK is interested please give me a shout. Bought it in error thinking it was the purple one and whilst there are many similarities between the two I'm not too keen on this and would rather gift it to someone who might appreciate it than bin it, as it's pretty hard to get now and I spent £50 on it not that long ago.

Is nice for cool Spring days, it may perform different in the Summer.. it does not last or project long, smells nice but does not really make an impression and is easy to be forgotten. I do not dislike and I will use it until it's gone, but I don't think I will buy it again. Nice bottle color and design.

Feminine? There's nothing feminine about this fragrance, It's very fresh and masculine

It`s very interesting green. Not like anothers greens and I like it.

Just received it. Disappointment :((( Extremely weak, hardly detectable. Very faint fresh scent, hardly contains the Lempicka Au Masculine DNA. Definately won't wear it often. Just a first impression. Let's see how it works in summer. The label on the back of the bottle says: Citrus-Spicy-Woody The piquant clarity of Violet Wood: Italian Lime, Pink Peppercorn, Violet Wood, Javanese Vetiver

Nope. I thought I would love it. I wanted to love it. I just can't. It's too feminine to be worn by a man. Not just that but it also doesn't smell that great. Maybe if I can get my hands on the original and not the reformulated variant I'll try again.

what's a horrible fragrace, i give it away for the 1st day

The imagery that comes to mind with this fragrance is honey on a leaf lol. I love the original Au Masculin, and this smells very much like it but much lighter and fresher. This to me is a better summer alternative to the original than Fraicheur, which was a bit too sharp and acidic with the lemon for my taste, even though it was pretty nice. I definitely think this is worth having even if you already have the original, since this is much more easily worn in the warmer weather, but still stands out as its own scent. It starts off with some lemon in the top, much like Fraicheur, and somehow retains the signature Au Masculin feel without the anise. When I first smelled the top, I was worried it was going to go too far in the direction of Fraicher, just remaining citrusy and sharp, but there is also this amazing grassy quality that makes it really earthy and mixes well with the lemon. The drydown of this fragrance is really where it shines. To my nose, as it settles down, it picks up its own sort of sweetness. It's very different from the rich, almost dense sweetness you get in the original, but it's more of a fresh, honeyed kind of sweetness, if that makes any sense. Like the original, the drydown is the star of the show, but for very different reasons. Like the original, it has a very playful, enchanting appeal to it that is just so comfortable and comes across as pretty sexy in my opinion. It's really a shame that Lolita Lempicka has been changing their masculine fragrances lately. I understand that's how the game works, and often times these things may be due do regulations, business, etc. At the same time, Lempicka had an all-star line of masculine fragrances that to me really stood out from the crowd with their unique approach. They recently rereleased Au Masculin in a new bottle and with the new name 'Lempicka Homme', but to me it wasn't quite the same. The note breakdown appears to be almost identical, but it doesn't have the same magic as it did before (just for the record, I am not usually someone who gets worked up about reformulations). At any rate, Lolita Lempicka really hit the mark with this one. This is a 'summer edition' done right. It retains the overall feel and vibe from its original, with a nice, fresh take that is just different enough to keep it from being redundant. If you can get your hands on this, I definitely recommend it. You may not get another chance.

So I finally have a hold of this one today. To me it's unmistakable LLaM. L'eau opens really similar to LLaM, lighter, but the minty, licorice candy vibe is still there. I'm left with disappointment thinking, damn, I don't need a water down version of LLaM! However, after 2 hours of being a water down version of LLaM, L'eau suddenly turns green. I begin to smell the lemon - I don't like the smell of lemon but this one is one of the most enjoyable lemony smell to my nose. Then the white floral kicks in softly. And the star of the show - vetiver - shows up leading the whole fragrance to a totally different direction. The minty, licorice candy smell is in the background the whole time playing the supporting role to other notes. It keeps L'eau related to LLaM and keeps the vetiver from being too sour or too earthy. Take the vetiver from Paul Smith Story, clean up its earthiness, push it to the front, shine some more spotlights on it, and put LLaM in the background to support the whole combo then you'll have L'eau. L'eau is young, bright, airy, a little more elegant than its older brothers and unmistakably green but a very very interesting green. I'll classify it as a floral green with a little gourmandy vibe throw in. As most of Lolita Lempicka fragrances, L'eau smells unisex and I think women can pull it off too. Regarding the bottle, I wish they recolor the original like they did with Forbidden Flower instead of using the aftershave bottle like this. The bottle is shiny and colored beautifully in person but it looks cheap shape-wise when standing next to LLaM and LLaM Fraicheur. There's one thing that so strange about L'eau though. That the vetiver only stays in the sillage, if you sniff close to the spot you spray the fragrance, all you get is the same old water down LLaM. I'm not going out today so I'm not really sure about the longevity and sillage of L'eau but it do project quite well and last at least 7 hours on my arm.

It is a version of the much less talked Masculin Eau flanker. Perfume even less known than the Masculin Eau even come to be confused with the traditional virtue of the name is almost the same. The Eau Masculin not yet know, but commented to be a bomb gourmand night, while this is a very light scent. Start with the smell of verbena, a newly broken branch, she mingles with the light pink hot pepper, but this is not the verbena I usually feel at stores bath products. The verbena perfa and more acidic, and less cloying. After 1 minute add verbena, pepper remains a bit and from there I start to feel also the jasmine with a light wood base. As a few minutes will set the tone floral and leaving only the wooden remains. Nice fragrance, but off the map in a matter of half an hour spent on the wrist several times and always after a 30min no longer felt anything. That did not happen with any sample here. He is EDT. I begin to think that there have been problems with packaging in the store or it is a very old sample, but there are also reports of a user basenotes was very emphatic in saying that the fix and the projection of it is even very bad. Finally, faced with so many assumptions and the difficulty to find this perfume in Brazil so I can get proof of longevity projection, do not buy the L'eau Masculin.

I think what Anick was trying to accomplish with this scent is take the fresh vibe that the OG Au masculine had but create that freshness without the licorice and take out those gourmand notes to make a more airy summer version. I’d have to say if that was the goal then she accomplished that for sure ! This scent opens up with a sharp,strong vetiver note mixed with other sweeter green notes making this smell like a greener, slightly soapy, slightly sweet, fresh fragrance that to my nose is very pleasant. To my nose this smells like if you had applied the original Au Masculine the day before and then took a shower with Irish Spring soap but after the shower you still had a little bit of the OG on your skin and the 2 scents combined. I was surprised again with how natural the notes smelled in this and how it wasn’t synthetic what so ever ! My girlfriend smelled this and thought it was decent but she STRONGLY preferred the OG as it’s now a cologne she requests I wear. She said the reason that it wasn’t a favorite because for some reason there was a note that reminded her of Mugler Cologne. Performance— it lasts 3-6 hours and is only above average in the projection category. Overall rating— 7 out of 10 ! Really nice flanker of the original but I’d easily say the original is way better.

I got this perfume from a great friend of mine. What can I say about L'Eau Au Masculin? First of all, I don't see any similarity with the original Au Masculin which, in my humble opinion, is much better than this one. But in no way does it mean that the L'Eau Au Masculin version is bad. On the contrary, it is quite special. I feel a great similarity with Lalique Lion Head on my skin and, to my surprise, the notes on the specialized sites do not include tobacco, which made me a little confused, since I can swear that there is tobacco in this fragrance. So, if there is no tobacco, then the scent I smell is the result of using violet (but I still think there is tobacco!!). The olive tree notes are wonderful and the jasmine gives that “impeccable victory” tone. Apart from the fact that it’s a L’Eau version, it’s still an EDT and the lasting is incredible.

First, very clean. "ninja note" is SUPER SLIGHT minty note the first 5 mins. I ONLY mean it has a cool feel to it. It makes you feel like your are playing in a forest or bushes that have a wonderful GREEN smell to it. It has a Midnight in Paris feel--NOT SMELL, but in smoothness. IF YOU HAVE BOTH, spray one on each hand after the Lolita sits for an hour. You will understand exactly what I am talking about. The green and SLIGHT, SLIGHT, SLIGHT cool or minty vibe goes away and the florals take charge. Medium amount of sweetness, almost of a honeysuckle in the middle. The pepper and the lemon might be the reason for the slight coolness/minty feel. The pepper and the vetiver sandwich the notes together making it smooth and clean smelling. UNISEX is applicable, but not too feminine. Longevity 2 hrs and still changing and smelling good. 8/10 EZ :)

L’Eau Masculin is a nice, fresh twist on the original LLAM. The original DNA is detectable however the sweet gourmand notes have been taken out and it has been transformed into a fresh fragrance that, unlike the original, can be worn easily in warmer weather. To my nose the opening is a bit harsh, and is a mix of green, citrus, spice and wood. The dry down is very nice though. Projection is good but it does settle after a while and longevity is good too. Though not as nice as the original LLAM, it’s still a decent flanker. If you like the original LLAM, you’ll like this. Ratings Sillage: 7/10 Longevity: 7.2/10 Scent: 8/10

To my nose, this is almost identical to Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin. It is a bit less strong but is still a beastly performer; I can easily smell the two sprays I put on at 6am by 7 pm. I have to say that I smell the anise way more than anything else. It is moderately sweet, yet quite masculine. I like the scent quite a bit. It is not my very favorite (I tend to like barbershop fragrances), but it is the only scent I have ever worn that has been complimented by strangers. Perhaps that speaks more to the projection than anything else, but the compliments seem genuine.

L'Eau Masculin definetely bears alot of resemblance to its older brother LLaM ,upon its opening you can hardly tell any differenve but after a while a peppery lemony zest begin to wrap the minty, licorice candy vibe and that is the whole story of this perfume. I had expected more from the house of LL , but after all it is a very good scent with remarkable longevity & sillage . But if you have the original LLaM there is no need to buy L'Eau because they are featuring the same notes although with differnt angles of view.

This version is infused with a light lemon citrus and woods but I do not detect the pink pepper note at all on myself. Even though the licorice is still there it is much more mellow than the original LL for men. I would say this is more of a day scent. The only negative I have is the poor quality of the spray top nozzle which is quite poor compared to the original spray down button on the original au masculin.

The first thing I thought when smelling this fragrance was "it smells exactly like Armani Code!", but with a somewhat more artificial aroma. It lasts for more than 7 hours and its sillage is moderate, but it's not a perfume that suits my personality or taste. I keep trying Lolita Lempicka perfumes for men but I think there are still none for me...

To me this is indistinguishable from the regular Au Masculin without doing a side-by-side test. I go pretty light on the application of Au Masculin so it doesn't smell too masculine on me; I think it's unisex but leans a bit more on the typical guys' fragrance side. Will update if I directly compare the two.

I never thought that this smells like Versace The Dreamer, especially in the opening through the heart. Minus tobacco note of course. The Dreamer far superior in performance. To me this is a watered down no personality The Dreamer wannabe. I guess I'll go with The Dreamer anytime and just throw this away.

Fresh citrus with a hint of light florals, herbal and some smoked wood in the background. Extremely light scent seems a bit weak and thin, doesn't project as well as this house usually does. Good for daytime wear. Also has a sort of watery quality to it that isn't adequately represented in the notes.

Maybe it's the olive tree (a note I am completely unfamiliar with) combining with some of the sweeter notes, but I still totally get anise in this. It is, as intended, a less sweet warm weather flanker, but the licorice-anise DNA is absolutely unmistakably there, somehow.

Well, striking resemblance with Etro Palais ou jamais (1989) and Ego Facto Me, myself and I (2009). It seems that Lolita Lempicka decided that this original white flower-vetyver accord is more masculine than unisex

@bronstein: Actually the bottle looks like the aftershave version of the original with the silver cap, the green color and the silver painted leaves.

THIS IS A MILDER VERSION OF BVLGARI BLACK-IM A BIG FAN OF THIS SCENT-MASCULINE AND CLEAN.
