Lolita Lempicka L'Eau en Blanc

I find this to be an incredibly delicate (without being too weak) crisp and clean iris scent. Like the remnants of a fine soap or talc. Heavenly! Soft, smooth, slightly effervescent. It's a predominantly powdery, subtly fruity, musky skin scent. There's some saltiness/smokiness in the drydown that balances out the tart & sweet raspberry wonderfully. At times it brings to mind little tubs of vanilla ice cream with raspberry sauce swirls that were available during my youth. The only things I would change about this, if I could, are the following: First and foremost, I'd make it last longer. Secondly, I'd make the top notes last for more than the measly five to ten minutes provided. Thirdly, if I could have my way, there'd be another version with peach in place of the raspberry. But this is simply a personal preference. I love the scent as it is, but would adore a peachy version of the same scent. And last but not least, I'd make it a little cheaper. Somehow it smells like it ought to be cheaper! (Not intended as an insult, but it's very delicate and not so long lasting as others from the Lempicka range. Having never tried scents such as "Sweet Honesty" or "Love's Baby Soft", this is exactly how I'd imagine/hope/expect them to be, and they're both far cheaper than this. They have both been described as powdery, soapy, talc-like, powdered makeup, lipstick scents - just like this. I'm head over heels for the subtlety of this. It sits very well in my collection with Bijan Nude, Prada Candy & Muse de Rochas (the latter being a scent that was, like this, created for a bride to wear), for providing me with the most luxurious "my skin but a million times better" kind of scent, which I've really grown to love lately. And of that selection, this one is definitely my favorite. I'm a fan of simple white soaps that are milky & creamy, scented with iris, rose, almond, violet. I'm also a huge fan of Johnson's baby products, so this is right up my street. This soft, powdery scent is just so fresh and clean smelling, but also having a uniquely subtle smokiness in its depths, probably from a combination of the tonka and licorice, giving this an edge. I can't get enough! The top notes have a beautiful papery quality with a heavy dose of sweet almond, tonnes of powdery, smooth iris and sweet, waxy violet leaf. (From the bottle itself the smell is more raspberry, whereas the raspberry doesn't come in straight away when wearing the scent on skin.) The middle is lovely, with some salty musk, soapy violet and smooth heliotrope, leading through to hints of the raspberry and such a soft amount of licorice - it's almost indiscernible! (Though in the air around me the licorice is slightly more prominent, making this distinctly LEMPICKA!) For me this is the perfect scent to wear to bed or to the Doctor's/Dentist's office where you don't want to overpower anybody with perfume-stink. This might overPOWDER some people, but for me it's utter perfection. I love the slightly waxy, metallic, cool element here, and the fact that it's not so gooey, sweet, green, earthy or fruity as some of the other Lempicka scents (therefore I personally wouldn't recommend this as somebody's first venture into the land of Lempicka; it doesn't really provide an accurate representation of their usually rubbery and herbaceous cherry and licorice heavy scent range). Overall, I believe that this would be equally perfect come rain or shine. It seems suitable for all times of year as a daily, staple scent. I personally love spraying it on when I'm in my pyjamas, ready for bed, after a nice bath or shower using my favorite white soap (or as a means of giving the impression that I just had a nice bath or shower using my favorite white soap). And I feel that the concept behind the scent is also quite accurate; with the idea of wedding cakes and lace wedding dresses. The scent's certainly evocative of sweetened, sugar coated almonds & lightly dusted icing. This is a delectably soft vanilla and raspberry ice cream scent in simply the most delightful bottle. The design on the box is like a beautifully intricate adorning of leaves made of marzipan/icing atop a smooth white wedding cake - literally the perfect vessel for the wonderful vapors captured inside.

Absolutely gorgeous, and underappreciated in the "powdery clean sweet purple flower" category. It starts off with a burst of sour cherries (LOVE) with a hint of raspberry, but those fruits quickly make way for a beautiful powdery entrance, albeit not the most powdery I've ever smelled, and that's not a bad thing. Although prominent, the iris I feel is secondary to the heliotrope, and I would bet this perfume has a very large percentage of heliotropin. The violet is very subtle, although I suppose if you're not a violet freak like me, it could be more prominent to your nose. Likely my favorite violet of all time is the older version of Insolence EDP, and there is nowhere near that amount of violet here, so if you are looking for a violet forward perfume, you'll find this Lolita on the subtle side. The perfume is very soft and subdued, and you'll need to apply more than usual to achieve any sort of noticeable sillage, but that's one thing I appreciate about this scent. I like the drydown, as it's more complex than just "powder" and it doesn't feel like I just slathered myself with baby powder. It feels like a proper perfume. The hint of tonka in the base are the cottony musk are lovely as well. It's pretty, feminine, clean, a tad sweet, and insanely versatile- you could wear this to a wedding, to the office, to a lunch, to a baby shower, or even a football game or a night out if you like to "keep it classy." It has the ability to be very professional but in a more playful way than some of the more stuffy scents which are traditionally pegged as "professional" such as a Chanel No 5 Eau Premiere, for instance. And I also find that this scent knows no age. I can see it beautifully on a teenage girl in the same way I can see it on my 80 year old grandmother. It feels sort of timeless.

I received it as a new year gift from two of my best friends and this makes it even more special for me.I couldn't stop thinking about it after the day I tried it on my skin and this is such a baby powderyish,innocent and beautiful scent that I knew it's exactly what I'm looling for(this spring I'm experiencing a love story between me and clean,powdery musky florals) Lolita l'eau en blanc goes through several phases of development which I can't really describe but if you're looking for intense cherry or liquorice like original lolita it would let you down.heliotrope,iris,musk and tonka(which is more like a not really sweet powdery vanilla) are the main players here.all these notes are powdery so one can expect a very powdery scent It's musk is exactly the type of JLo Glow's musk but in lolta blanc it's less cold probably because it's balanced by raspberry,licorice and tonka I'm surprised to see many people are complaining about it's longevity as it's pretty long lasting on MD(+5,6 hours)but sillage is soft and it's a skin scent almost all through it's life It can be a lovely perfume for a bride who doesn't want to be showy.lolita lempicka is among my favorite brands and l'eau en blanc is another sign to proof this brand can make different and all great perfumes. I believe this one could be more than a flanker.an independent one as starter of a line of clean,innocent lolitas. I usually dislike frosted glass bottles but I can't deny it's a work of art Although I wished a bigger sillage and better projection,I love it so much that I will rank it as five hearts

I wanted to write a long review for it but now that I want to start,I see that I can't!it's not your typical lolita lempicka yet it has the lolita gene.it's a very soft and clean scent but unlike most other soft scents I can't call it safe.it's not everyone's cup of tea because it's very powdery,well one of the powderiest perfumes I ever experienced.I have a friend who calls this much powder chocking but for me it's a fluffy heaven As I said I can't write a real review forit,not before owning it because although it may seem simple it goes through several stages.I'm not a fan of it's opening part(maybe because I don't like violet Leaf)but as it develops I like it more and more.middle stage seems like tones of powdery iris,violet and white musk.very powdery,makeup-like,clean scent.I think wearing it in a sunny spring or summer day would be a real pleasure like being enveloped by white and clean,sheer powder puffs but I like it's drydown even more than that. As a true lolita lempicka it shows that it can be very powdery and delicious at the same time.powdery musky florals are settled down and I can smell a combination of heliotrope,raspberry and tonka.it's very delicious in a unique,powdery Way!in my experience these notes need heat to come out so they stay very faint sometimes but they bloom on a warm skin,yummm and make the overall experience very interesting Longevity is impressive on my skin while sillage never passes soft I can't wait to add this ice powdery apple to my collection.I think I can name myself a hardcore lolita fan

I loved this perfume from the first moment I sprayed it but this was my first time wearing it all day today and here are the results: As everyone else has already said, this is a soft fragrance. It's truly, truly a skin scent. In order to even smell it on myself I had to spray liberally and without reproach. Fortunately, a 3.4 oz bottle can be had for around $30 on ebay... At about the 2 hour mark I hugged a coworker and she could smell it on me and loved it. It's the quintessential "Hugger," the kind of scent you only smell when you go to hug someone and it leaves a pleasant impression. It's all a matter of preference but for those looking for sillage, look elsewhere. Maybe look beyond the hills to Keiko Mecheri's Loukhoum Eau Poudree for something sweeter (super sweet, actually) but less fruity. But I digress. I still love this perfume even if I confess myself a wee bit disappointed in the projection. Even now, 10 hours later, I can smell the soft scent of raspberry on my skin and it's wonderful. The consensus seems to be that it skews young, however, it's been marketed as a bridal perfume and it seems to me just as appropriate for a fairy queen as a fairy princess. Either way, it smells like something out of a fairytale.
