Wish

Ignore the review by arielffs. I don't know what fragrance they are smelling, but it's definitely not Wish. I don't get much citrus at all - maybe a hint in the very opening, but it's not sour. The top notes are very short lived. This is an absolutely gorgeous beachy scent for summer. It's not beachy in a cheap sunscreen kind of way, it's more like a sea breeze mixed with sugar coated coconut macaroons. I am not at all a fan of coconut scents, but the coconut note here, which lasts throughout, is very light and airy. The two scents that could be cousins to this are Jennifer Aniston and Holidays by Mancera. Jennifer Aniston disappears after 30 minutes, while Holidays has a heavy tiare flower/coconut note that overwhelms for hours and hours. This beauty transports me to a cabana on a private tropical island with clear blue water. Somewhere only the very rich can afford to go. I bought the hand lotion at Anthropologie more than a decade ago and treated it like it was liquid gold, only using it on special occasions. I finally bought a full bottle of the perfume during the Black Friday sale at Amazon last year, and I can't wait to wear it this summer. Sometimes on a dreary winter day here in Ohio, I will spritz my wrist just to improve my mood. This has moderate projection for the first two hours and then a small scent bubble fading into a skin scent by hour four. It is very inoffensive. This is an absolute LOVE for me. I never want to be without it.

I discovered Lollia via a Margot Elena subscription box review. I signed up for the box and bought Wish and some other items at the same time. I’m a sucker for sweet scents, and age hasn’t mellowed that for me. The first spray is very sweet and fizzy (that may be my interpretation of pepper) and a bit citric. But not like a lemon-lime soda, just effervescent somewhat lemony sugar. It’s strong at first spray, but the sillage retracts immensely soon after. Then it settles into a lovely sweet scent with some unexpected depth. The citrus blooms, and a bit of cinnamon arrives. I get only a hint of floral, and a bit of powder. I also do not get any anise or licorice (thank goodness) but just a bit of almond perhaps? It’s quite lovely. I don’t consider this a teeny-bopper scent though a teen could definitely like it. It’s decidedly feminine and very sweet, but not in a Pink Sugar kind of way (I don’t find them similar at all). I have this in the perfume, body oil, body creme, and a lovely bath salt sachet that I keep in a drawer. Wish is nice for layering when I want to sweeten another scent. The sillage is very mild, the longevity good. The Lollia packaging is beautiful (everything available from Margot Elena is). Every item has been thoughtfully packaged and looks wonderful on the vanity or dresser. 11/10 packaging.

This was a blind buy for me. My first impression of this fragrance: yikes. At first spray, I got nothing astringent citrus and soapy white florals. Given a few minutes to develop, Wish is actually quite nice! The scent is reminiscent of the smell of a lemon square. I was surprised to see that most people rated this a spring scent, as I can't help but think of this as the colder side of Christmas in a bottle (snow and whipped cream rather than gingerbread and cider). Given the cinnamon and amber notes, I was expecting this to be quite a bit warmer than it is. In fact, this is not spicy whatsoever to my nose. I added Dolce and Gabbana Pour Femme to my collection last week, and I have to say these are much too similar for me to justify owning both. While they're more like sisters than twins, I really only have so much space for cold, citrusy gourmands on my little perfume shelf. I do think I like this one a wee bit better for its freshly-baked drydown over Pour Femme's floral edge than runs 'til the end.

The opening is a pleasant heady floral with a heavy dose of sugar, vanilla, and a hint of bergamot and cinnamon. The citrus seems to be more pronounced in colder weather. In the first hour or two the sugar gets pretty intense and the floral fades. There is an occasional "doll skin" scent that had me concerned this would be too sweet for me and I generally like sweet. There is also a hint of strawberry, like those strawberry shortcake ice cream bars. Its one of those notes that is occasionally standing out, but isn't dominate. Hours into my work shift I started getting a wiff of the most amazing honeyed vanilla with a bit of floral that smells occasionally like orange blossom and occasionally like almond. It is remarkably similar to the way Amouage Sunshine smells when you sniff the bottle. 13 hours later I'm still smelling it and it is awesome. It isn't what I am looking for for Summer or Fall . . . So I'm considering not sampling any winter scents and just wearing this all winter. It's that good.

Ahhhh Wish. The fragrance that started it all for me. I tested this in an Anthropologie a year ago and instantly fell in love. Wish starts out with a zing of a peppery bergamot, not spicy, and a bit sweet. I don't know if it's my imagination but the bergamot lends a light tea like addition. Not a bold Assam, but a delicate milky earl grey sort of addition that's hardly there but also there. It soon mellows out into a warmer, deeper sweetness, the pepper not completely disappearing but enveloped in a warm vanilla hug. The vanilla in this is not an aggressive cotton-candy sugar, but a sort of mellow warmth. I think of baked goods, but CUPCAKES is not the first thing to come screaming to my mind. The image this fragrance invokes is of a woman, wearing a simple and casual silk wrap dress, with a bit of careless bedhead hair, walking past a bakery where a tray of fresh macarons are being laid out. That's how this fragrance makes me feel.

I purchased this hand cream a year ago. It was very complimentary with fragrances such as AG’s Cloud and JPG’s La Belle. It also added a slight sweetness to my fresher-smelling musks. I eventually purchased the full-sized perfume at a local boutique. This scent smells like mochi. Maybe vanilla, lemon or matcha mochi. The rice flour, milk and (a big, fluffy, powdery) marshmallow are right up front on my skin. It’s mildly sweet but not “sugary,” really. There’s a hint of soft lemon and a whole lot of cream. It’s gorgeous on my skin from beginning to end but it makes me crave a taste of something sweet. So pretty on but not so sweet that it would satisfy my actual dessert craving. Suitable for day or night in any season or temperature. Perfect for a coffee date. This fragrance is soft but not weak.

This is a weird one at first. In the bottle and on the skin for about the first 40 minutes, it smells straight up like an orange peel. I’ve had multiple family members tell me I smelled like I was peeling an orange. Then I get the jasmine note and it becomes more floral, whilst all that is going on, if you sniff really hard and close to the skin there’s an underlying sweetness, but if you’re not looking for it you won’t notice it. Then about 2 hours later, it sweetened up. I don’t get any citrus, the jasmine was still there but it was more in the back, and now the marshmallow and rice flower came forward. It’s really pretty and light, and after 2ish hours it becomes a skin scent and you have a vague marshmallow rice, slightly nutty scent on the skin.

I loved the Tokyo Milk Dark perfumes by Margot Elena, so I broke down and bought the very pretty miniature bottles for some in the Lollia line. Wish is my favorite, a powdery adult gourmand with a tartness to balance out the sweetness of all the sugary ingredients. I also get a good bit of rice flower in this, which is an unusual ingredient for me. This is a beautiful, vanilla-based concoction that has average longevity and sillage. It doesn't smell like anything else I've ever come across, so it's very unique to me and I also think the full-size bottle is charming (as is the mini). I also use the hand cream, body butter, or shower gel to layer and make it last a little longer. What I've bought and used is decent quality for small-batch.

My first perfume! I sampled it at a store six years ago and instantly fell in love, so I had to get it. A month back, I was frustrated because I hadn't seen it since my freshman year of college (I'm a rising junior now), and I couldn't find it anywhere. However, a week or so later, in a search for something else, I opened up one of the boxes that I still hadn't unpacked since I moved out freshman year (ridiculous, I know) and I caught a familiar whiff of something that instantly brought a smile to my face— it was Wish! Honestly, I just love this fragrance; (though it could be because of its nostalgic effect) it's soothingly sweet, yet still unique and sophisticated.

This was love at first sniff for me!!! It smelled so familiar yet so unique at the same time. After wearing it for awhile I realized that this seemed so familiar because of the rice and the cinnamon which are main ingredients of Horchata which is a Mexican drink. It doesn’t smell exactly like it but it definitely has similarities. This is obviously more complex. Overall, it still is a very unique scent. It’s very sweet and spicy! This would be perfect for a chilly fall day. I can see myself dosing my scarf with this and getting whiffs throughout the day. This definitely has an autumn day vibe.

I shouldn’t love this- it is super sweet, fairy candy dust. But something about this is really unique, effervescent, and something I want to keep smelling. This may work the best in the handcreme, but I also enjoy this as a fragrance. This would make an excellent gift for a young teen- as even though it’s sweet it doesn’t feel cloying, cheap sexy Barbie kitten sweetness that is often marketed to that age group. Or if you are an adult longing for something comforting, sweet and delicious, this is totally appropriate too.

This was my signature scent for years! My first fragrance obsession. Very warm, sweet, with a powdery candy/marshmallow and suntan lotion scent. I never got citrus notes on my skin. This perfume smells very nostalgic to me, perhaps it’s the sugared pastille scent. After it ages a few years it seems so smell warmer vanilla with more spice notes. If you love this scent, you’ll like Bronze Goddess by Esteé Lauder. I can’t believe how similar they are! I don’t know if I’d be able to tell them apart.

I really need to buy another bottle of Wish. This is one of my longstanding all-time favorites that I started wearing in high school. It's so feminine and yummy! The notes are elegantly sweet. Somehow, this fragrance is both fluffy and fresh, like a wrapping yourself in a cloud of floral-accented vanilla sugar. I am lost for words at how else to describe this, other than it's just simply amazing. Ignore the cinnamon and pepper notes listed on here. Those are not even remotely accurate.

Wonderful! I seriously enjoyed this fragrance (which I was attracted to just by the lovely bottle). The opening has a strong coconut note (though it's not supposed to?) that I like, but it's short lived. It dries down quickly, and what are meant to be the top notes suddenly appear as the heart notes. The pepper, bergamot, and amber are warm and unique, while the fragrance as a whole remains just sweet enough. Feminine and rich without being offensive.

This is so beautiful & gentle. I'm addicted. It smells like a warm hug from someone you love. It smells kind of like rice pudding. It also smells like the best-smelling sunscreen ever. Very unique. I have a large collection of perfume, and I don't have anything like this in my collection. It's unique in the sense that TokyoMilk Kabuki is unique. 10/10.

This is a very sweet scent, but one that still has an air of sophistication about it. There is a lot of vanilla and citrus with a light amount of cinnamon when first sprayed, then it dries down to a warm but not overpowering marshmallow and amber on me. People are always commenting on the heavenly scent whenever I wear this fragrance.

This is Christmas on an island, an exotic island. I have never smelled anything like this and I absolutely love it! I have searched long and hard for the scent that I want to grow old with and this is it! It's beachy and floral enough to wear in the summer, but warm and spicy enough to wear in the winter. I never have to take it off.

When I first spray it...I get a whiff of rice milk and lemon. Then after that, it settles down to a vanilla milk type scent. Like what melted ice cream smells like. Its a very nice scent as well. The packaging for it is simply divine. It comes in a nice little canvas/burlap type bag and the bottle itself is beautiful.

This is very beautiful on the dry down, it’s very citrus heavy in the beginning to where i just want to wash it off bc it smelled like cleaning products. But once the drydown hits, it is this light sugary vanilla with some fruit. It almost has this gum scent in the background but like marshmallow gum lol.

Luscious mixture of bergamot and vanilla with just a hint of cinnamon. I haven't got much to say about this scent, except that it's absolutely divine! One of my new favs! Sillage and longevity are outstanding! ♥♥♥♥♥ Edit: In the far dry down the scent becomes warmer with much more cinnamon. Really good!!!

this will always be a favorite of mine. I have repurchased multiple times. sweet powdery peppery vanilla goodness without being too sweet! I really disagree with the reviews calling it sour. there is definitely a hit of bergamot in the opening but I would not call it sour whatsoever, just refreshing.

With fall coming round, I yearn for a little spice and comfort in fragrance. I came across my bottle of wish and was reminded what a lovely scent this is. It starts out bright and spicy with more vanilla coming through in the dry down. And it Lasts! Great performer. Great value as well.

I had a sample bottle of this which I *adored*. One day I accidentally spilled the whole sample stash on my pants before work (!!!), and many of the customers commented on how the fitting room smelled like sunscreen! Others just commented on how nice I smelled :-o

Wish is very sweet, sugary and warm with a powdery touch to it mixed with vanilla and some spice notes. It smells feminine and womanly ... this is not a sweet scent for little girls, but for women. Warm and sexy in the dry down ..... It`s delicious 😊

The dry down is amazing. It is so sweet and beautiful, with great lasting power. The vanilla is enticing and the jasmine to die for. I didn't catch too much of the cinnamon but I was detecting some citrus in the beginning until it wore off.

This fragrance reminds me of the sweet smell of milk and honey. I found this perfume in a specialty store and sampled it. It is just lovely and I will wear this in the spring to summer months!

smells like a classy cotton candy

Definitely smell this scent before buying; while it's very beautiful, it is NOT a crowd pleaser. I used to own a bottle, and I loved it and disliked it in equal measure. Funny, I used to get a ton of honey and violet in this perfume, and today I got totally surprised by looking at the notes and seeing no honey, no violet. (!!!) Overall, it is very sweet, very flowery - heavily so, but... delicate too, in a way. Images that some users said below, of a girl running around on a grassy field on a sunny day, in a beautiful pastel dress, chasing butterflies... YES, that's this scent vibe for sure. And that's what I loved about it - the innocence, the childlike joy. But that wasn't a common child, oh no. She was her own person, unlike other girls her age. Just like this perfume smells like nothing else. I loved it very much - conceptually. Loved the bottle, what the juice inside made me think about. But I didn't like how it smelled on me. It was really hard to part ways with it - gave it to a friend as a gift.

Aww man. I am a bad bad bad mommy. Positively dreadful. See, I purchased this perfume because it sounded delightfully sweet and innocent for my tween daughter who is just beginning to show an interest in perfumes. The girl has great taste and has been begging to wear my 24 Faubourg. She's even sprayed a decant of Chanel no. 5 Eau Premiere which I'd been testing on herself before school one morning. It made for definite sensory dissonance wafting from her little school uniform. Anyway, I thought that "Sugared Pastilles" sounds wonderfully charming and girly plus the bottle is adorable, therefore it would be a perfect step up from the Bath & Body Works sprays that I've purchased for her previously. However it would still be youthful. It arrived today. For the sake of testing it's scent, I sprayed a bit on myself. Sweet almond-y vanilla sugar-y perfect baked glory. Uhhhh...I'm sorry my lovely little dear but it was first love at first sniff, Mama will get you another one.

I first fell in love with the body cream which is saying a lot because I don't really like sweet scents. After two jars, I figured I should try the perfume. Wow! It lasts a really long time and a little goes a long way. This is a unique gourmand in that it doesn't smell like a baked good and isn't spiced. Despite it being really sweet, it feels sophisticated. If I had to break this down to only two notes, I'd say resin and powdered sugar, in that order. This would be great for people who loved a sweet scent, but after awhile thought, "If only it didn't have that fruit smell," or spice, or basically anything they felt was a little too much. I think that's why this comes off as clean even though it's so sweet. It's because there isn't anything muddying this up. Other than the high heat Summer days, I'll be wearing this throughout the year.

The bottle says "sugared pastille" and for once Margot Elena is being quite literal. Wish does smell really good, like the inside of a candy shop or an ice cream parlor. I really can't smell anything other than burnt sugar and vanilla. I think the wish shower gel and lotion would be lovely, but as a perfume it's a just too intensely candy. A little dot under some of my other perfumes works well, though. And I like the way it smells on things like my winter coat and wool scarf. A little dot on these items lasts for days. I may use most of the rest of my tiny bottle as a fabric refresher!

Wish by Lollia is a perfume with EXTREME good staying power. I tried it when I was in Boston, I sprayed 2 sprays on a hoodie I bought there. A few weeks later I went with my parents on a boat in Holland and took the hoodie with me; yes, it was still there! It is supergourmand and really has it's own smell, it's unique... I even couldn't think of an occasion to wear it. But, there IS a perfume that smells pretty much like it; Delices by Cartier. So for the ones in Europe (or other parts of the world) where Lollia is not retailed, try Delices, it is something in that direction!

I accidentally dumped a bunch of this on my wrist, so I must say it is a strong sweet powdery vanilla odor. It's different than what I usually wear; it's a clean scent yet a warm one. I'm glad cinnamon is not overpowering here but lingering in the background. Longevity is good, about 4-5 hours (although that is due to the overkill dump-age). Perhaps if I tried with the correct, smaller amount on me, I could gauge a better idea on longevity. edit: I tried this again with a lesser amount, and longevity was fair; probably 3-4 hours at most. By the end, it was veeeery faint.

Stopped by Anthropologie today and tried this. Started out pretty strong and dried down quickly to a lovely warm scent with (to me) lots of coconut. My affinity for this scent may be because I grew up on the beach, but I love it and will definitely wear it in the summer - maybe not to work, but definitely late afternoons! Drydown remains warm and sweet. I like my scents to be somewhat private; you have to get up close and personal to experience my fragrance (usually), I would say this has a medium sillage. My son and my BF both gave it a thumbs up. : )

This one is sweet, but not cloying or too 'young'. I feel it would be appropriate in every setting you could think of, in any season, for any woman. From the descriptor 'pastille,' I was expecting more of an anise scent to this, but it's understated. Smooth, clean, melt in your mouth sugar.

This is a very sweet, and very addictive scent. It makes me feel good just spraying it on! I purchased a trial size and had to get the full bottle. It begins on a floral note and fades to a warm sweet honey / vanilla tone. It's a sunny, happy, fabulous perfume. Very different and distinct.

pretty! and pretty unremarkable. I got it in the little bottle form bc it looked too adorable to pass up (and it was only $9). there is this pretty (3x) apparent spicy note upon first sniff, but it chills out and becomes this creamy, citrus-y, jasmine-y fragrance.

This scent reminds makes me think of honey bees and late spring/early summer. I don't have any explanation as to why, it just makes me happy. I sometimes layer it with a vanilla scent that gives it more of a sweet smell, but I love it on its own as well.

this smells like hardcore suntan lotion all the way. Almost too sweet for me, and I'm a gourmand lover. I find it hard to wear. It does smell lovely, but I was hoping for more of a spicy scent. THIS IS NOT SPICY. It is so feminine and dainty.

a pretty girl scent that makes you want to frolic and play with butterflies la la la laaa very light a cute sweet fragrance that I think fits more with warmer weather, but any season works !!

For me very similar to Estee Lauders Bronze Goddes dry oil. Love this one also, but is stronger than bronze goddes. So when you cant buy this one, try Bronze Goddes.!!

It's definitely pretty, but generic. I get the sweet floral, no vanilla or marshmallow. I like it, I just don't think it's something I would purchase at full price.

I like this one. I could swear that their is some coconut in it at first sniff, but it seems to be the cinnamon when I smell better. A nice warm and soft scent

A generic faint whisper of a scent. Like a girl coated herself in cheap cooking oil and dusted herself in powdered sugar dont let the elegant and classy bee bottle fool you, this scent is nothing special and lasts about as long as it would take that powdered sugar to melt into sticky glaze, a minute if you're lucky. Now you're all sticky and your boyfriend doesnt even want to licky. Leaving you disappointed and questioning your life choices

I personally think this smells amazing. It's like refreshing marshmallows. But, I've used ONE (one) spray of this perfume and ended up giving one of my coworkers an asthma attack once. All I did was walk past him. When he finally recovered, he told me that it smelled like a cheap perfume. I died from embarrassment that day and haven't picked up Wish since.

This is SUPER cloyingly sweet. It smells like vanilla custard, macadamia nuts, and citrus. The citrus brings a clean, almost soapy accord that helps to lift the sweetness a little, but the sweet gourmand notes are still very strong and cloying. It's in the same vein as the SDJ gourmand body mists, but I prefer Wish for the soapy citrus accord.

The beginning is wonderful and sweet. After the dry down, a few hours later there is an interesting note that reminds me of Tommy Girl? I think it's just me though, I have this happen more often than I want to admit.

As much as I would love to LOVE this fragrance...I don't. I can't decide if I even like it or not. Lollia Wish begins with a fresh smell of bergamot ZEST. Yes, zest. Not juicy, and not overly tart, but with a bitter quality about it. THAT part doesn't bother me. I don't get any cinnamon or pepper. AT. ALL. The middle notes and basenotes seem to arrive almost at the same time on me. Ug! And again, the ylang ylang and I don't get along. I don't smell the jasmine, but I AM smelling something like a watery green coconut note. Not sure what it is....but it makes me think of suntan lotion mixed with sunblock....and though I'm from an island (or two!), I don't exactly want to smell like sunblock OR suntan lotion,so this is the part that bothers me. Perhaps if the amber arrived in its normal spicy/woodsy/inense fashion, it would have made it more bareable, but I couldn't even find it. The plus side is that it isn't undesirably sweet. I think this would be good for the summer; on the beach; by the pool...somewhere where you would expect to smell like this. I honestly can't picture someone wearing it in the office....but to each his own, right? Unfortunately, I do NOT smell anything reminiscent of Kenzo Amour. This lasted about 3 hours on me (but I'll have to retest to double-check that). _______________________________________ **UPDATE** Okay...so while I still don't LOVE my initial reaction to the top notes (or rather, the first 30 minutes or so), the dry down is quite lovely. I can smell a lightly spiced rice pudding mixed with green coconut water. I still wish they added just a bit more cinnamon, but I like this drydown better than the one in Lollia Imagine. Not bad. It's growing on me... ;) As far as lasting power, it still only lasted about 3 hours on me. =(

Sad story...I bought this living in Seattle, I smelled it walking through a boutique and had to have it. It was creamy, powdery and the floral notes kept it smelling fresh! A year later after moving to California it had been forgotten and I tested it again...what on earth had I just sprayed? Had my taste changed or had it possibly turned? I saved it for cooler weather under the assumption that the damper Seattle climate had flattered it and it just didn't adjust well to the heat of a California summer. I was wrong, it smelled so sticky and intense, very cloying regardless of the season. What a headache inducing syrupy smell - the jasmine was overpowering. I am not recommending against it necessarily as it was very pleasant when it was first purchased and I cant be sure if I was crazy when I bought it or if my bottle had quickly expired. Try before you buy, or consider buying small quantities in case the shelf life is generally as bad as my bottle?

Although I generally like the perfumic creations of Margot Elena, Lollia WISH is a glaring exception to the rule. To my nose, this is a too-sweet vanilla amber with a decidedly artificial cast. It actually smells drugstore- rather than niche-quality to me. Thanks to my unusually large sample vial (twice as big as the others!), I was able to test this composition multiple times, and the verdict is: simply not for me. Could be a skin chemistry issue. On ne sait jamais...
