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.

The pronounced Iris note is the front-runner here. It develops a beautiful character once it settles. The initial sharpness is rounded out and you are left with a very clean, fresh yet soft and feminine skin scent. A must pick-up if you are looking for a day wear.

This is more powdery than the EDP, in a sweet and cute way. Stays close to the skin, without being annoying in hot days. I think I will buy it for summer! Plus it has a fantastic bottle, like all the LL fragrances.

amo!!! amo!!! amo!!! suave e marcante, para ser usada em todas as estações, em todos os horários, inclusive em dias quentes, não vai agredir ninguém. um dos meus favoritos!!!

on me, this scent smells like liquorice and violets,with a nice powedery scent to it. It is an amazing perfume, especially in cold weather.

I think this bottle of Lolita is quince not apple :)

Everyone who loves Lolita Lempicka fragrances will probably love this beautiful edt. I bought it when I thought the edp was a bit too hard to handle, but then I grew into it eventually. As cocodust says in her review further down this is a "marsmallow puff of sweetness". I agree, a beautiful one but just a puff I'm afraid. Since I'm used to quite bold fragrances by now I find the edt a bit too weak for my taste. I love the anise, the sweetness and the translucent feel it has, with moderate green and balsamic notes, and I love the powder. The only thing I don't love is the sillage after 30 minutes and then the duration which is poor. I use it to sleep on, but since I have so many other great fragrances to sleep on as well I think it will be a gift for my mother some day soon.

I got this thinking it was the EDP... Genius, I know. It's actually really nice; I think this will work very nicely in warmer weather. It's the only violet perfume that I really like, since it lacks that dusty, 'old cupboard' smell that most violet perfumes have for me. Longevity and sillage leave something to be desired, but that is actually why it works for summertime. I don't want to be a scentbomb for those around me when it's hot and gross out. It can usually be found for a very reasonable price. The bottle is also very pretty. I give it a 4/5!

at first spray it really smells like soap. straight up soap. then i would say it really smells like the violet and the iris mixed with some powdery musk amd some peppery vanilla undertones. overall i think its a unique and very good fragrance. i good daytime fragrance. someone could definitely wear this to work. i would say its for an over 25 crowd. not a young overly sweet fragrance. my husband thinks it smells nice. he described it peppery and flowery. lasting time isnt great but it is an edt.

This one is a true Lolita, has the appropriate dose of innocence and seductiveness. It isnt too sweet or powdery, smells like a bouquet of blooming violets, mystique spicy aroma and touch of vanilla. But, just a touch. It could be easily worn whole year by people who like lighter scents. Dont miss to try this one, let the Lolita seduce you.

I must come to the defense of the Lolita Lempicka EdT. It is a colder, fresher, sharper, airier, clean muskier version of the EdP and it still manages to retain the LL character. The iris is absolutely beautiful. While the EdT seems to be thought of as the "summer version" I think this could smell stunning on a crisp winter's day.

I bought it last winter as a lighter alternative to EDP, but it always seemed to me the plainer sister of the two... How different it smells now in April! EDT smells of flowers and ivy like a garden during a hot summer day. It is a summer scent, definitely.

This fragrance reminds a lot the original Lolita Lempicka, only it's much more light and less sweet. The freesia note makes it more tender, too. I like this fragrance.

i had the EDP version too, but I like this better as it's less heavy, more suitable for daytime use. I find it similar to guerlain insolence.

These perfumes are so confusing to differentiate between when shopping online. The really mixed reviews make me wonder if others had the same issue as well. Or maybe this one is just a real chameleon. On me this has a very soapy feel. It's not unpleasant, but it's not a scent group to which I gravitate. I can see this smelling really clean and nice on someone who makes better life choices than me. Like someone who probabaly has a savings account, 401k, and a ten-step plan they follow to the letter. I don't get any licorice, fruit, or vanilla. Just a floral soap with musk. I can't decide if the incense is there or if that's just the musk screwing with my nose. Glad I only got a teenytiny splash bottle of this. The quest for vanilla-free licorice continues!

When I just sprayed it I thought 'I am not going to like this'. I am glad I gave it some time to develop before judging it too quickly. It is a nice blend of iris, musk and nuttiness, that envelopes me like a balmy mist... Lovely, and I'm glad I bought a large bottle.A successful blind buy. Edit: I have to add my second review. I ended up giving my bottle away. As another reviewer said, it was bringing out a combination of cigarette stale ashtray and a medicinal note I couldn't stand. I am better of with L de Lolita Lempicka, which is more my kind of perfume anyway!

I have the EDT, but my body chemistry isn't right for it. All I get from it is licorice :( EDIT: The bottle was too old as it never worked for me. I tried to force it on some of my girlfriends before it went bad, but with no luck. Poor little thing is now in the trash. I prefer the EdP!

I received 5ml sample from this edt. I don't feel this as interesting as Au Masculin, they're similar, but this is sweeter. To me it's just watered powdery-violet, boring, lacks the power, nothing special, I can't imagine this could be someone's signature scent...

This is a very strange fragrance to me. It smells almost exactly like vintage thrift stores to me... A combination of incense, cigarette smoke in your clothes and 80s goth clubs. Sorry, but that is what this scent smells like to me.

On me smells like sweet iris and violets, but somehow senthetic and cheap. With so many wonderful fragrances on the market can't think of one reason to buy this. Dislike.

As of the time I'm writing this, the last review on this fragrance was from over two years ago, but I just received a mini of this in the mail that I bought with the understanding/acceptance that I might be paying for a cute little bottle of stinky liquid. Well, a very cute bottle of smelly liquid is indeed what I've now got sitting next to me. I now have both this LL EDT (this is the older one, by the way) and the "Morsure d'Amour" EDT, and they both have the same issue with one particular, prominent note. I have narrowed it down to either being violet or iris. This exact note is also present in OG LL and somewhat more prominently in Fleur Defendue. However, this note doesn't "reek" in my bottles of those two in the way that it does in both this EDT and the Morsure d'Amour one. Especially after smelling this EDT, I feel confident that it's an issue with this particular note going "off" due to the age of these EDTs. I bought both of them new from two separate sources, but I suppose it's entirely possible that YMMV and you may still have a good bottle. However, I would advise against paying any of the crazy money that resellers typically try to charge for this stuff right now, unless you're looking just to have it for collectible purposes/displaying the bottle. For what it's worth, there's some other notes I can make out that still smell fresh here, and I can tell it was a quite a nice little fragrance in its salad days. But from now on it will live on my perfume shelf, only to be looked at and never opened, not even under the most dire circumstances.

Lolita EDT was a beautiful accident for me. Listed as the original EDP; I recieved the EDT instead. Finding the right Lolita can be elusive! Every apple shaped bottle claims to be the original and very few of them are. For this reason, I already owned a 'Pacific Creation' era bottle of LL and naturally, I was disappointed with all that it lacked. The EDT Lolita Lempicka Parfums, absolutely original, packs more punch than EDP by Pacific Creation released in 2010. The original EDT is more like the fabled fully fledged fairy dust spray people search for among the various releases of the EDP. But I wanted that Ivy and thus I continue my search. To be continued..... PS For everyone who is confused about LL and her many faces. The original Lolita Lempicka EDT and EDP before the reformulation was manufactured by 'La Parfums Lolita Lempicka' and it says so in the middle of the bottom of the box. The box itself is green for both the EDP AND the EDT. The EDT bottle is pictured above, but the white box is a current edition NOT the original.

I love sweet perfumes but when it gets warm sometimes a spicy deep sweet fragrance can just be overwhelming! I love some floral girly teeny bopper fragrances but sometimes you just do not want to wear one! This EDT version of Lolita Lempicka gives me a light scent that picks me right up makes me feel light and bubbly yet it is still very mystical! It is magic, but this magic is like the Good Witch in Wizard of Oz, floating about in her magic bubble! The bottle even looks like a perfume that Glenda would pull out and spray on herself! This scent is absolutely perfect for exactly wanted it for, a spring summer scent that has a bit of magic, it is a bit different. It is perfect! Happy Sniffing! x

Ok very interesting! I am getting a concrete accord, quite unisex, and a little anise or licorice. Otherwise powdery, a touch sweet but can easily also be masculine. All that makes it quite niche smelling, and although not really one i could wear as these notes were never my faves, I can appreciate this being good quality. Not getting cherries or distinct apricot, but it does have a fruitiness and the incense is definitely present also. I do get a touch of tonic locker room esque to it also, very complex scent. ** 170 samples up for swap - check my custom shelf, pm me for details! UK baddies only **

i love Lolita Lempicka EDP better than the EDT. the EDP is sweeter and stronger and is a totally different experience for me than the EDT. i unfortunately bought a bottle of the EDT thinking, "ah...what the heck! it's probably just as good as the EDP, but lighter." well, it doesn't come close enough for me to keep the bottle. i will sell my 1oz bottle to anyone who is interested at a very reasonable price. i probably sprayed it 4 times. i just couldn't fall in love with it. or i'm so down for a trade, if anyone is interested PM me! happy hunting!

I've never smelt the EDP, but this EDT seems like a watered down version of the original from what I've read. I get a hint of anise in the opening, then the powdery iris takes over and gangs up with the violet and the musk, so that I get no tonka or vanilla, or even vetiver. I'm not saying this wasn't nice, but I would guess the EDP is more interesting. Edit: Having now tried the EDP my guesses were correct. I would go for the EDP, great scent. But I could see wearing the EDT in the office and the EDP out.

Found it as a tester with no Perfume available. Got the 100ml for ten dollars! ye-hah! Notes above are a bit wonky, I can definitely smell ivy & Anise. Perfect for really hot weather, a great summer fragrance, fun and flirty and good projection for a EDT. No the best longevity but I'm not bothered, I'm after the drop dead Gorgeous bottles and this blue fairy beauty is just to die for with its Diamantes and translucent blue stem. Scent 6 / 10 okay for a flanker Bottle 10/10

For me there's barely difference between edp and this one. Comparing to Lolita's the edp tobacco base note this one has more earthy, like rotten leaf on wet soil. That's the thing I love so much about LL perfumes. I could put it in line with some niche frags only because they're conjuring images in my head (no, I'm not drinking it ^^) Tobacco in Lolita edp is more tobacco like- like cherry tobacco. I could compare base with Amarena Whim only that is more intensive.

@Wednesdaychild: I have both bottle styles of the EdT. The older one is as pictured here, the newer one is as you describe. Both say Made in France and are by Pacific Creations. I have yet to do a side by side comparison but I think they are very similar. When I do a side by side I will report back. There seem to be a couple on ebay now at low prices, but then a few at much higher prices, so for anyone considering getting it, now would be the time, I'd guess.

I must say I prefer the EDP. This one is less deep than the edp and more suitable for the warmer months (the reason why I bought it). I get powder, which I'm not a fan of, and anis. It's quite linear to me. The drydown is missing the sweetnes that the edp has. I was hoping this was a slightly lighter version of the EDP, but it's much more simple. It is pleasant, but not what I was hoping for. The staying power is amazing (as always with LL fragrances).

I got a 7ml mini from a co-worker, and don't really know what to make of this fragrance. I normally wear gourmands and this probably doesn't suit me as it is more floral/powder/musk than sweet, which is totally fine if that's what you are into. While I can handle the licorice in Pink Sugar, notes of it in this fragrance just strike me as bizarre. To me, this smells like a "LUSH" store (which I love), mixed with baby powder (which I hate).
