So Sweet

'So Sweet' and 'Sweet' are going to be some of my favorite summer fragrances! I love them both! Plus they're not that expensive; I got 'So Sweet' for around $30 on Amazon. 'So Sweet' is also a very light clean fruity shampoo scent that is almost similar to 'Sweet' if you're not paying attention, but even more juicy and fresh. Where 'Sweet' smells like artificially flavored cherries and red candy apples, 'So Sweet' has an underlying greenness to it-- raspberry or raspberry leaf keeps it fruity but the leaf gives it that very faint wetness that makes it feel more fresh and natural. The only way I can describe it is that it smells like grape skins that have just been peeled off a juicy red grape. So instead of the fresh yet sweet red apple note you get grapes and a floral background. Both 'Sweet' and 'So Sweet' are very mild scents that never seem to smell cloyingly sweet and you can spray it all over yourself and your clothes and it will always smell light. Some people might not like that about them but that's why I like them for summer, they are light feeling and likely office safe. You might also just get anosmic to it. I noticed when my own temperature rises I start catching whiffs of the scent. It lasts more than 4 hours too. I'm a fan of gourmand and sweet vanilla and/or amber scents but during the summer they can be too jammy or too sweet and spicy and just make me "feel" sticky so this scent feels fresh and thank goodness it lacks strong citrus, weird hairspray aquatic notes, or super powdery floral notes that many summer fragrances have. Of the Lolita Lempicka fragrances I have this is the least powdery of them and almost doesn't even smell powdery so I am surprised the powder is voted high on the notes. This leans feminine and is great for summer but since it's so mild and inoffensive I think it can be used any time if you're just wanting to feel fresh. Of course there's so many fragrances out there that make a statement so it won't be your first choice if you want to impress a special someone or impress a crowd, but for the price you can have this laying in a gym bag or purse and just spritz it on your hair or clothes when you want to freshen up. This would also make a good choice for girls and teens as a first perfume since it's 'So Sweet' and isn't trying to be "sexy" with spicy ambers, strange woody or animalic musk notes.

RED-CURRANT & ROSE-IRIS. Opens with a burst of raspberry-leaf, sour-cherry & mandarin that together evoke red-currant. That deepens into the rosy heart supported by iris & angelica, all resting on a fruity-floral support base of musky cashmeran & amberwood. The overall result is an updated red-currant scent that's more wearable than red-currant scents of the past (such as Amor Amor Cacharel), being softened out by the iris-rose combo which conveniently sidesteps the bug-spray vibe that sometimes happens with this type of scent. Contrast to Italiano Vivo Armaf: These are different, but there are similarities with red-fruit, rose & iris. So Sweet leans to red-currant-rose-iris, while Italiano Vivo is firmly a raspberry-rose-iris. Both have excellent performance, but Italiano Vivo outperforms. Contrast to Amor Amor Cacharel: These are different, but this is a classic red-currant scent, although has a bolder approach and more piercing projection, while So Sweet is softened by the rose-iris back-up. Both have excellent performance. Contrast to Circus Fantasy Britney Spears: These are different, but this is another red-currant scent. Circus Fantasy is more similar to Amor Amor Cacharel, both not having the rose-iris present in So Sweet. Both have excellent performance. Overall: beautiful & wearable red-currant & rose-iris scent, with above average performance. For what it is, it's a love for me. Enjoy!

So I have the new vegan formulation version of this fragrance with the new NOT apple shaped bottle. I agree with everyone else this wears off very quickly and has little to no projection. However, this is a BEAUTIFUL and addictive scent. This is a wonderful sweet fruity floral with some powderiness and an air of mystery. On my skin it has a bright opening, it starts off with a juicy raspberry and a hint of the zesty mandarin, then it quickly transitions to an iris/rose combo with the fruity opening still lingering in the background. The cherry is slightly tart but syrupy and sweet and lasts throughout the whole fragrance. There is some depth to this perfume coming from the amberwood and cashmeran, which deepens this fragrance and adds an air of mystery that is signature of Lolita Lempicka. The musk adds a powderiness that really softens everything. The more you spray the longer it lasts, I spray on my wrist and 3-4 sprays is a MINIMUM. For those looking for a cherry dominant fragrance, the cherry is present but if you are not a fan of florals, the floral heart is prominent. However, the sweetness of the cherry combined with the florals may just win you over. ;) Also for those who want a comparison, So sweet REALLY reminds me of Daisy Eau So Fresh by Marc Jacobs. So if you really enjoy Eau So Fresh this is very similar. Simply TONE DOWN the soapy green notes in Eau So Fresh and you get So Sweet.

I purchased a tester in the original apple bottle from a 2016 batch, so my experience may vary from others based on that. This scent is such a modern gourmand -- very fruit forward, uncomplicated, playful. On a test strip, it comes out somewhat citrus and floral heavy; on the body it is a lightly syrupy berry chapstick smell, though not TOO synthetic. Just barely enough to be reminiscent of lip gloss, cut cherries and flowers. The heart notes are great. The iris gives it the delicate ethereal powderiness that takes on a cosmetic quality; the angelica keeps it citrusy and fresh while the rose keeps it "perfumey". Finally, the base notes envelop it all in a luxurious, warm cashmere sweater, reigning in the bouncy girlishness with a slightly seductive amber woodiness, barely detectable. From first spray it remains a skin scent, though delicious all throughout. You would really need to spray it several times to get any sillage, but the full size bottles can be found online for a steal so I'm not afraid to give myself a generous spritz. The bottle is gorgeous,as with all Lolitas; the juice is playful and safe. Definitely help yourself to a bottle before they disappear forever!

The perfume opens with juicy cherry, mandarin and raspberry leaf. The heart of iris, rose and angelica settles at an intense base of whipped musk, amber wood and creamy cashmere. I do get an initial burst of strong raspberry, but this quickly fades to a long lasting base very similar to BS Private Show on me. Clean, fresh and sweet, it could be a possible signature scent for me. Longevity and sillage on me are better than BS Private Show. I DEFINITELY will purchase a FB in the future. I do find it very interesting that people can have such extremely different experiences with the same fragrance...I know that most do not have a positive experience with So Sweet and I have to say that I was very surprised the way that So Sweet reacted with my chemistry...what a wonderful surprise for me! I have a difficult time finding fragrances that don't turn on me eventually somehow...the few that don't are usually discontinued...so I grab what I can, while I can, and enjoy.

Finding a perfume with cherries that doesn't smell like cough syrup on my skin felt like a miracle- I had to open the review up with that because I have been looking for so long. My immediate impressions were that it really reminded me of a 1950's diner with bright red leather seats and a vague cola scent. It is pretty versatile and I think you can wear it at any time for any occasion, a good everyday perfume. I will say that with this fragrance, less is more. Typically with more fruity/floral notes I find I have to spray a lot and reapply consistently, but with this one only a few spritzes will do the trick and last a really long time. This scent also pairs well with other fruity, floral scents- I love pairing it with Escada's Turquoise Summer for a summery fruity combo or flowerbomb nectar for a more formal combination.

Another swap gem and man I love this! I had sworn off this brand after a few years ago I blind bought a gift set of the regular LL and at the time(I would like to try it now) I thought it was the most, absolutely horrid, putrid most disgusting smell EVER so I refused to ever smell anything from this brand again. And when my swap buddy said she had this up for grabs and I was looking it over on here I saw many people did find this to smell like Nina Ricci Rouge which i liiiiiiiive for that perfume it’s not only a beautiful smell but. Super beautiful bottle(not the bottle appearance sways me either way when I’m buying) and I do see-rather-I do SMELL it, I smell the similarity, which is great!!! It does give me hope that maybe I wont have to swear off the brand forever hahaha

I definitely pick up the Raspberry and the Cherry. Together with the Mandarin Orange it makes the fragrance smell like juice. Lol. That’s not a bad thing either. It’s actually more of a comforting familiar type thing. I eventually start to notice the powderyness of the Iris but I still don’t notice any Rose note. The Musk, Cashmere and Amber Wood really round this perfume out nicely I think. In my opinion this version is better than the “Sweet” version. This one is less sweet ironically but prettier and less immature. I gave my “Sweet” bottle to my 17yo daughter to finish off. It was the “quick grab out the door” scent for a long time just to try and empty it. Lol. I’m glad I took the plunge and grabbed this one though. Totally worth it.

Blind bought this gorgeous perfume! Starts with a blast of sweet raspberry, then quickly dries down to a musky cherry scent. Sillage is moderate and then goes to a skin scent. After a couple of hours I get powdery floral notes but the sweet cherry and raspberry notes still linger. Bottle very cute aesthetically. A grownup sweet scent that can be worn anytime of the year for any occasion. Reminds me of Dior’s Hypnotic Poison EDP, another favourite perfume in my collection. Not easy to find though but it was worth the search!

This is probably the most childish scent that I can wear. Acidulous, not without any depth, but very regressive in a way that completely pleases and eases me. Oddly enough I wear it when I miss my late mother. To be again her little girl maybe ? Who knows? L’Eau en Blanc, which I used to enjoy a lot, was less fruity but still not so different from this one.

this was a blind buy, but i have to say i scored this one! it smells so sweet, in the opening it’s definitely raspberry, but as it wears down it smells like cherry and vanilla. it reminds me of those sweet child-like perfumes i owned as a little girl. such a childhood throwback! love it.

My boyfriend bought me this perfume after I heard great reviews. It's so sweet and to me the mandarin really shines on the first spray. but after a few minutes you can smell the base notes much more and some of the florals.

Gorgeous sour cherry and raspberry, fresh and happy, I get the sharp raspberry & cherry on initial spray but that eases off. As it dries it’s creamy and powdery rather than sharp. Such a pretty perfume.

absolutely love this. definitely worth it for the price and it perfoms great when paired with other perfumes, on its own, it is sort of weak but really pleasant, sweet and beautiful.

The Rose and Mandarin brighten this more than the original. Sometimes I swear I get a touch of Almond in the base.

I love the smell, but the long lasting is very weak

Lolita Lempicka So Sweet EDP opens with a moderate projection of sweet, fruity, and citrusy notes. The opening is delectable, natural, sharp, intense, and inviting. The sour cherry, raspberry leaf, and mandarin orange are the prominent opening notes. The sour cherry and raspberry leaf create an intense fruity accord; the sour cherry is very sweet, tart, syrupy, with a nutty hint. The raspberry in this fragrance comes across as sweet and fruity, with a floral hint. Balancing the fruity notes is the mandarin orange, which has a noticeable sour, citrusy, and sweet texture. The opening is brief; it takes just a moment for the iris and musk to surface; they combine themselves creating an airy, powdery, floral, fresh, and projecting note. The musk in this fragrance is projecting and powdery, evocative of white musk. As this occurs, the mandarin orange moves towards the back, letting the sour cherry, raspberry, iris, and musk lead the fragrance. The rose, angelica, cashmeran, and amberwood are support notes. Although they don’t have significant participation, they create a stage for the feature notes with a light floral and woody touch. The fragrance has a relatively linear opening to dry down transition. The opening is significantly more intense than the dry down, the sour cherry, raspberry, and mandarin orange are featured. The citrusy mandarin orange accentuates the fruity notes. The fragrance transitions to its dry down in just a moment, the mandarin orange moves towards the back, the iris and musk climb replacing the sharpness of the mandarin orange with a musky, powdery, airy, and floral accord. The rest of the notes remain a few steps back, supporting the fragrance. Lastly, the initial moderate projection takes a step down to low. Once Lolita Lempicka So Sweet EDP has reached its full dry down, it can be summarized as a low projection, very sweet, fruity, sour cherry, raspberry, powdery floral, musky fragrance with faint woody and floral accords. The fragrance feels appetizing, candy-sweet, casual, comforting, delicate, delicious, discrete, energizing, faint, feminine, floral, fresh, fruity, gentle, intimate, inviting, mild, moderate-quality, modern, musky, natural, powdery, rich, romantic, seductive, sweet, tangy, young, zesty, and very pleasant.

So I didnt expect a scent like this from this bottle, but with Lolita Lempicka blind buys are the most surpising, adventurous and fun. The presence of Iris here is why when I first acquired this perfume some time ago I immediately brought La Vie Est Belle/Sensual Amber to my mind along with Sofia's Love, even though Love has no iris and their common note is mandarin orange. All of them have a powdery (Barbie-doll-like) sweetness. In So Sweet it is alot more subtle even though it is still a very powdery perfume. The rose is potent and dusty, melancholy. I always happen to wear this perfume when it rains and rain totally vibes with this scent. It is like a dewy musky rose combined with the woody spiciness of the amberwood and angelica. So Sweet has that edgy, "dirty" twist that reminds you it is Lolita Lempicka youre exploring... there is a spiciness here similar to Sofia's Love, almost like patchouli, even more intense than Love's spicy element, it penetrates my nose, but amber is always this note that can fool me. Amberwood here adds a resinous so aromatic woodiness just like in Love but the angelica here intensifies this earthy element which dominates the whole fragrance. The raspberry, which is a super sweet almost candy note to me, along with the mandarine, give me Sunset Fantasy/Beyond Romance candy-like sweetness but I do not get much of that beyond the opening.The sour cherry at the top pairs well with the iris intensifying the makeupy-powdery sensation along with the beauty of the Cashmeran, and this is where Lolita's signature touch is: soft notes paired with one-two more intense even contradicting ones. Spicy ambery background, soft sweet powder and deep musky cashmeran. Lolita perfumes always gotta have an unexpected unorthodox twist, they do not conform and this is what I love about them, their rebelliousness. Either makeupy, powdery, melancholy or candy-like and playful, with or without licorice, they always manage to take me on a journey away from reality. Their bottles always look magical, like they came from a smurf village or a Disney movie. So Sweet escapes the usual purple, lavender, orange or blue theme of Lolita's perfumes and offers us some cherry ambery spiciness as the new abode for the sought after iris. I just noticed that someone suggested Beyond Romance in the 'reminds me of' list; well that one lacks the spicy twist, it is all sugar and musky deep sweet softness, it is more conformed and predictable than the edgy So Sweet.

So I ignored the other members' "warnings" about this perfume and bought a large bottle. I like the original Sweet and I figured that raspberry note would be fine. I should have listened to you guys, lol. I regret my purchase. Not because it's a terrible perfume (it's quite pleasing) but because I bought such a large bottle of something that comes accross as mostly uninspired compaired to other LLs. It does lack depth and basically smells like iris and synthetic berry. I was hoping for a more authentic tart berry, but I should know better, as the original Sweet's cherry is artificial and candied. Luckily I really enjoy the iris and the drydown is full of it. It's plenty pleasant and inoffensive, I just wish I had purchased the 1oz version instead.

To me, this fragrance opens with a distinctly soapy character. I can definitely sense some fruit and sweetness, but the rose stands out, making the scent fresh, clean, and powdery. Normally, I would never have chosen such a perfume for myself. I find it lacking in depth and sweetness. However, I made a blind buy because Lolita Lempicka usually creates scents that suit my taste. I can certainly see myself wearing this fragrance on a summer day with an extra hint of vanilla. The scent is pleasant and floral in a delicate and sophisticated way. It works well for everyday use if you enjoy floral notes with a dewy twist. The fragrance lasts a good three hours, after which it becomes a softer, sweeter scent on the skin.
