Lolita Lempicka Elixir Sublime

Nothing like the original Lolita Lempicka. This is an amber bomb ! And a gorgeous one. Benzoin is missing in the notes, but it's the main note I perceive here, together with vanilla and labdanum. Elixir Sublime's vanilla reminds me of the kind of vanilla used in L de Lolita Lempicka. Liquorice adds some more sweetness, but this fragrance isn't gourmand, it's a more traditional oriental, dark and mysterious, meant for Fall and Winter nights. I totally get the comparison with Hypnotic Poison EDP, although Elixir Sublime has its own personality. It's not very strong but well balanced and worth the money. If you love amber and liquorice, you need to try this. Instant love.

It starts with a smooth Licorice note. Nothing sharp or edgy about it. Soon the Violet & Jasmine sneak in and they soften it up even further, almost making it slightly powdery. They really shift this fragrance into a more feminine feel. The Vanilla adds a bit of creaminess and the Tonka Bean adds a slightly sweet nutty note but it’s not too much. Then you have the Labdanum which brings a beautiful sexy warm Amber to it to round it all out. This perfume is really beautiful. Not as potent and In your face as the OG Lolita Lempicka but it’s very nice for say, date nights, special dress up occasions, or even just as a bed time scent.

I fell in love with it from the first spray, and it only gor better after that! It's such a beautiful vanilla fragrance, and on my skin in lasts until the next day. I rarely find fragrances that last like this on me. It's vanilla with a kick, extra sweet but also spicy. I can imagine why this may not be for everyone, as if i try hard enough it does ressemble the smell of medicine. I also got instant compliments from my boyfriend saying I smell amazing. The only bad part is that it's been discontinued.. I can only hope they bring this beauty back :(

At first squirt this brought me back to my mother’s brand of tobacco. I get a tobacco/bourbon vibe. After a while I get all of the notes outlined above: The powder, amber, still bourbon. Creamy. Tobacco fades. I don’t sense the licorice though. I still love this. I grab this for a night out.

it's regular LL on a cloud of vanilla and tonka. i get mostly violet, vanilla, tonka, licorice and a tiny hint of jasmine. the licorice and violet are strong in the beginning but blend in and settle down later on. this is like a more creamy comforting version of original LL.
