Lolita Lempicka Eau de Toilette

smells magic, like glittering stardust flying off the wings of an iridescent fairy in the most stunning Victorian garden you can imagine. purple flecks of glitter landing on softly musky human skin, like holding a fairy in your hands for just a second before she leaves you sullen in the beautiful garden, just a whisper of incense and angelic fruits left behind in the moonlight. This is the most beautiful fragrance I have ever smelled in my entire life. I almost feel like it’s too perfect for me to wear. I have never really had a reaction to a fragrance like this, even my favorites. They all make me feel beautifully alive and feminine but this is truly otherworldly. The softest white musk imaginable, something slightly spicy, a hint of candied fruit, and a gorgeous slightly vanillic dry down. I carefully opened my tiny blue bottle with my mother on Christmas Day and as soon as the liquid touched my skin we both gasped, it really is truly a stunning stunning fragrance, I can’t even think of an appropriate time to wear it because it is so perfect to me. Never has a perfume given me a reaction like this, I will be chasing the high of the first sniff of my Apple bottle forever. I would like to update my review and say that this smells pretty similar to heavenly by Victoria’s Secret, specifically the fine fragrance mist version. So if I don’t want to waste my tiny apple that kinda fills the craving :)

I have had experience with Lempicka fragrances for more than a decade now, but this seems to be the best in line for me. It is discontinued, of course. BTW, this is the original Lolita Lempicka EDP in a much more wearable form, for all seasons and occasions. It was love at first sniff, probably because I knew the original EDP, but wanted a lighter version, not only more summery and less syrupy-smoky-sweaty, but much more of a fresh laundry skin scent with a little twist. The notes included here are in the pictures are not of the original one, but probably the newer one, Le Premier EDT. There is no cherry in the original one. (As opposed to the original EDP, which smells like thick, smoky cherry syrup compared to the EDT.) The real notes of the original EDT (with the silver cap and the crystals) are the following: ivy, anise, iris, violet, musk, vanilla, tonka bean, vetiver, more like in the written description. I have got a small sample of the newer formula (Le Premier EDT, with the heart-shaped indentation), but it is much sharper, more masculine and soapy, with something that bothers me -- myrhh, maybe.

This is amazing! I have to write one more review for this one, because I have just bought a big bottle and realized it's my favorite summer fragrance. In hot, humid weather this blooms like a flower... Opens ivy-sharp and quickly turns powdery and sweet, but really very delicate. The anise note keeps it from being too sweet, adding a delicious sourness to the composition. Anise is really main note in this fragrance. Then I distinguish iris, subtle violets, vanilla and a lot of tonka. Oh my, I just love the smell of tonka beans! If the weather is cold it smells a lot more "timid". All the nice bold notes don't get to develop, so the big quantity of anise just makes it smell a little bitter. One important thing to say is that this is very unique. Delicate, gentle, easy going, but not ordinary. This is quality perfumery, and has that special character that turns a nice combination of notes into a real perfume. The bottle looks gorgeous and the staying power is also great. There's nothing about this fragrance that doesn't really fit my taste. Definitely a keeper.

Really wish they'd be a bit more creative with their naming schemes. To be perfectly clear, this is the silver/blue bottle with little gems on it, the original EDT. Written notes are Aniseed, Ivy, Aniseed Water // Violet, Iris, Aniseed Water // Vetiver, White Musk, Tonka Bean, Vanilla, Aniseed Water. Thankfully my bottle was NOT bad, I waited way too long on this one. This is a gentle fresh-sweet-powdery floral, fresh in a soft-dry-floral-laundry-musk kind of way, with a candy-powdery kind of sweet from the violets and aniseed, heliotrope-vanilla undertone, with a hint of cool minty green herbal tones. It's quieter and less of a huge personality than the original EDP, which suits me just fine. I wasn't sure I liked this but it grew on me a lot, now it's one of my favorites to reach for in the summer. It's beautifully balanced and very wearable - soft and feminine, still subtly sweet, but clean and a little breezy, and the sweetness doesn't get over-the-top with heat. Just has that little something that is memorable to me.

MAJOR BOTTLE CONFUSION!!! Lolita EDT by Lolita lempica is the fragrance I'm now reviewing. My bottle does not look like the one shown (It's more like the bottle fragnantica have listed as Le Premier). In case anyone else has same problem. . . It's the purple bottle with a heart shaped indentation on the side, and comes in a white box! This scent is my signature. I LOVE IT. It's much lighter and greener than the EDP which is heavier on the licorice, a scent I also love, but wear either at night or in colder months. The EDT is just so unusual. I think it's the magical ivy note that appeals to me. The violet is light and airy. Yes, this scent is very light, sits close to the body and does not project! That's my only gripe with it. I bought the EDP hoping it would be stronger, but was the different scent as stated above. Whenever I can't decide what perfume to wear, or if it's raining outside (my favourite weather), I wear this. It's magical to me.

My son gave me a sample of this and I fell in love - I wore this sample for a while and had compliments left right and centre! Then I ran out! But I had thrown away the wrapper to the sample and NOW I am the proud owner of 5 Lolita Lempicka perfumes! It took 5 to find out which one it was and when I thought I had it at the EDP - I found out I was wrong! There isn't a subtle difference between the EDP and EDT - there is a massive difference! The harsher notes of the original are toned down and instead of intense liquorice there is a heady iris scent which fades over time into a beautiful vanilla/violet/tonka bean concoction! I think the original smells more like Angel by Theirry Mugler - this is sweeter and more irissy!!! Silage is good as the comments I get prove it! Longevity is also good! I had not sprayed this for a while until now and wow .... now I know why I was so desperate to have it again!! If you like Iris you will love this!!!

My dear and beautiful apple! How long have I been wanting you... and today I catched this seductive fruit! It was a blind buy, I relied on positive opinions and I’m glad! Love at first sniff and whiff, when I close my eyes, it feels like I’m in wonderland, and this pleasant scent cloud embraces me. First of all the bottle is so amazing, like a translucent gem in jewelry box with sophisticated design. Though the scent is very warm and sweet, it’s fresh and not heavy at the same time. At the first blowing I got the smell of cherry and lemon, later it becomes powdery, mixed with floral notes. It reminds me a bit of LL Fleur Defendue (Forbidden Flower), because of the cherry, violet, and iris. I think I’ll use often this miracle in summertime, ’cause it’s lighter than the original EDP. Summarizing: fabulous, soft and sweet fragrance, like a fairy tale, I adore moi Lolita!

Initially I thought meh about this. Nice, but nothing special. But it's grown on me. Yes, it smells like soap, and no, i don't smell any of the notes other than powdery soap, but it's light, fresh, and clean. I don't think it's got much projection, but I do get whiffs of it every now and then and it's just a pretty, clean scent. It's a perfect scent for a hot summer day. Edit: I've grown to love it so much I bought a 75ml bottle from eBay for $28- bargain!! It's super hard to distinguish between this and the Le premier EDT, which comes in a white box (and supposedly a bite taken out but some bottles do not). This scent just makes me so happy, no incense-woodiness of the EDP or some weird aquatic, alcohol type scents that dominate the "affordable" category. Yes, it smells like a clean soap, but it's so utterly pretty. By far my favourite LL.

I love EDP version but decided to get this one as I want to wear it during/spring summer and I am sure EDP is not suitable for these seasons. The LL EDT is very similar to its EDP version just it is not as deep, sensual and intense. It is fresher and less intense, yet still stays on pretty long (about 7 hours). It is definetely not weak as you might think - it has medium sillage. It also smells like EDP version would smell like after a couple of hours, as the base is almost the same. EDP also has much fruitier heart notes while this one dries down to its base much quicker and violets are more prominent. Hopefully I compared them well enough. Those who like EDP will enjoy this one too during the warmer weather. It is definetely a very unique scent and the bottle is much more beautiful than in the photos - I didn't see those cute crystals!

Mmmm... I'm in fairies heaven! Le Premier Parfum EDT is mystic and whimsical... Very comforting and innocently sexy. So magical, like all the fragrances by Lolita Lempicka! I don't really find this one so similar to the EDP as some people have stated. Besides the obvious - less sillage and less staying power, EDT is a lot lighter: fresher and less gourmand. The two of them are built on the same basis, of course, but this one is even more delicate and clean, with that after bath feel. It's also a lot more powdery and anise-y. It really smells fairylike and evokes the exact imagery of the ads. A fantastic fragrance! Beautiful, angelic, delightful, unforgettable, like everything by Lolita Lempicka.

For me all the Lolita perfumes have amazing powers to conjure up feelings of mystical and magical places and this one is no exception! Lolita Lempicka Eau de Toilette would be best for spring, EDP best for winter and Midnight best for the nightlife! There's a Lolita for any time any season and any place! Its not as rich, deep and smokey as the EDP but more easygoing, powdery, and clean. It has that sexy spiciness I love (licorice, star anise, amarena(Cherry) and that unbeatable creamy vanilla giving it that signature and enchanting Lolita feel. Its just a little shy and not as upfront as the EDP. The lasting power is amazing. This is exactly what I needed for this spring weather!

Another favourite by Lolita Lempicka ! I had the original eau de parfum when the perfume was first released,and it was a very intensive scent,long lasting and heavy on the licorice notes. This one is very much like the original,but softer and lighter-more suitable for day to day wear. I'm very pleased I got a bottle for £14 on Ebay and am so happy with it. The bottle is pale blue with tiny diamantes embedded into the glass,so pretty. The scent is a powdery version of the original,a little more floral but still with the signature licorice and a pretty violet and iris hint with a powderpuff base. I'm yet to find a Lolita that I don't like!

My father bought this for me years ago, and since I never gravitated towards powdery scents, it just sat on my shelf, mostly untouched. I have rediscovered this scent recently. It’s powdery and musky, yet sweet and comforting. Reminds me of waking up in a lazy Sunday morning in the arms of a lover, in (mostly) clean bedsheets. Super cute, very upset this was discontinued. Excellent for the summer, which is rare for a powdery fragrance for me- generally I find these notes “cloying”, but whatever they put in the bottle, it works. I get almost no fruitiness, mostly violet, anise, and musk. Maybe licorice? Unsure. It’s lovely.

it's love at first sniff for me. it femininity in a bottle. the bottle is whimsical, and the scent is how i imagined it to be: soft, delicate, feminine, innocent. it's not too sweet, yet not boring. not too strong but very memorable. maybe almost powdery, but not something you can smell on babies. yet it is ageless. something for the ladies, but is not necessarily inappropriate and offensive on little misses. i can imagine fairies wearing this. this lolita lempicka is unworldly.

This perfume is heavenly, it smells clean, powdery and a little bit soapy , it is light but at the same time long lasting, people will notice you. Whenever I wear it I feel innocent, refreshed, almost reborn. The main notes on my skin are iris and musk with a hint of sweet violet. It is a perfect scent for a little girl or to anyone who want to smell clean and pure. I love it. I live in China and this is far the most complimented scent, everyone seems to love the smell.

This is Lolita Lempicka EDP perfected. A lighter, brighter version, not watered down, just with an added drop of summer. It's also missing the anise note which I really disliked - a big plus. This is pretty and powdery - feminine soft and romantic. Perfect for warm summer nights. Beautiful bottle, soft projection and medium longevity. It's a love for me.

Following time on the market change scent, resignation. This version is beautiful.! I think that the firm does not want to pay for these crystals and perhaps dear expensive composition of this scent? I worship this versions is subtle, feminine, carnal, alluring. I bought now 75 ml, uuuffff... Now the new wersion EDT is for me similar to prada infu.iris.

I love this perfume, one of my favorites! but it's so expensive! My skin loves it and i get everyone compliments on how nice i smell. I love the combination of anise with ivy and violets .. in the background Thonka Bean is strongly felt with a touch of vanilla ... wonderful elixir! Continues all day on my skin until I go to sleep, excellent quality.

At last I bought this. Happy to add this bottle to my collection as it's really pretty. For me EDT is lovelier than the EDP but only because the EDP develops with too much tonka and chocolate on my skin. The EDT is like the EDP's top notes; cherry, anise, violet very soft tonka and musk. Perfect for autumn!

This is just perfect - while edp is hard to stomach, it is heavy, dusty and too sweet, the edt smells of a fairytail garden after the rain, painted in delicate blue shades. This was the original first perfume and like all first instincts was right - it is a glorious example that sometimes less is more.
