Lola

Oh my... Calice Becker is a genius! Lola is by the same creator as 2 of my other faves - 'J'Adore by Dior' and 'Tommy girl by Tommy Hilfiger' I wrote a review for this about a year ago, and said that the perfume was okay but not spectacular and that a roller ball will suffice. Well, the craziest thing happened since then. I wore this perfume during the holidays 2 years ago, and found it was subdued and elegant enough, but nothing like crazy good. Fast forward another year, and I'm like, WOW. It didn't really smell different but I interpreted it totally differently. It is very exquisite and sophisticated, and maybe my skin chemistry has changed, but the way it smells on my skin is unbelievable and unlike ANY other perfume I've ever smelled. I get this aroma from that is so hard to put my finger on, but it actually reminds me a lot of one of my favourite scents in the world 'Neutrogena Body Oil'. It smells like the base is just like that but then there is just an unbelievable fresh and yummy quality that is definitely from the pink pepper (and vanilla). The rose may be what gives the perfume it's oily aroma, it smells like a hot, rich bath in a dark room lit by just a few candles. The bath is filled with red and black rose petals and there are slices of lemon and yuzu (the pear and grapefruit). Under these fresh bursts of citrus, rose, pink pepper, and a light and subdued peony, there lies a warm vanilla base that gives the fragrance it's slightly gourmand qualilty. I picture the vanilla as little wisps of vanilla bubbles in this bath of Lola yumminess. I just bought myself a 100 ml now that I'm done with my roller ball and have no regrets, just that I didn't realize how much I love this fragrance sooner! It's so original, unlike a lot of my perfumes, and I feel before the week is done this will probably become my new signature, as I never smell this on other people, and the fact that apparently it mixes not well with most people's chemistry makes it even more special and personal to me in a way, I think. Also, the bottle is a lot better looking in person than in the photo which was a relief! I used to be obsessed with Daisy by Marc Jacobs a few years ago, but never replaced my bottle once it ran out as the scent became too popular, so it's nice to have another MJ to replace it. The more I smell this perfume, the more I love it, this is something I have found is a rare but amazing quality that means you and a perfume are probably bonded for life, this has also happened to me with 'Dkny Golden Delicious'.

Very similar to the part in the first Harry Potter movie where Olivander tells Harry; "the wand chooses the wizard, Harry," the same concept exists with Lola; this perfume chooses the wearer. Alot of comments mention how this perfume smells "plasticky" or synthetic, and I can totally understand where those thoughts may come from. The first time I gave Lola a sniff it was straight from the nozzle and I had that YUCK! reaction. I thought to myself, why would anyone actually find this perfume pleasant to wear? I moved on and forgot about it. Fast forward a year later, to where Lola and I meet again. This time it wasn't at a perfume counter, but one of my best friends was wearing her. A few of us went out the bars and all night I kept smelling something amazing coming from one of my friends and I finally had to ask "who the hell smells so effing good and what are you wearing?!" When she responded "Lola...Marc Jacobs," my face was kind of like this -----> O_o I asked her to repeat her answer because there was no way the stinky perfume I smelled a year ago could actually be this beautiful on the skin. The next morning, I find my sample of Lola and spray it on my wrist, still in disbelief. I left my wrist alone for a few minutes so the spray could fully dry and then I gave her a sniff.... Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful....peppery...rose....vanilla...tonka...musk....PERFECTION. Lola was the perfume that really got me to start appreciating rose notes in perfume. The rose is blended together so perfectly with all the other notes and is so radiant and delicious. Lola is powerful without being in your face. The longevity? Could be better if you ask me, I usually get only 6 hours of wear which isn't that stellar compared to alot of my other perfumes. The bottle? Not really my favorite, I find it overly tacky for my taste but I'm willing to look past it for the juice. You HAVE to test Lola on your skin otherwise you will not get the full effect! On a tester strip and on the nozzle this perfume just flat lines.. My conclusion: no, Lola is not for everyone and as a poster mention above, it really shouldn't be. This is why I reference the HP quote. If Lola is meant to be...she will choose you and you two will have a beautiful relationship. If not, wellll then it's on to the next one.... :)

I was gifted this one for Christmas 2012 and I finished the 50 ml bottle. Prior to that I really could not decide in between this and Oh, Lola! In the end this one won my heart :) if today they sold this stuff again I would make a blessing altar for Marc Jacobs as my hero and run out to get a couple of the 100 ml bottle. I think I was not ready at age 22 to fully appreciate this beauty and it definitively was an important addiction in my love for rose fragrances. This is a dark floral. Take roses, add the pink pepper and a sort of berry jam with a slight tropical touch. LOVED this stuff. So somebody mentioned, this is a sort of punk concert in a bottle. But a pretty one at that. I imagine Debbie Harry from Blondie wearing this. It also screams Heroin Chic. So mix: punk, heroin chic, dark feminine vibes and the tropics = this :) Seems like the pink pepper bit horrified many, but that is what REALLY attracted me to it. This stuff is spicy. Spicy, flirty and seductive. I read that apparently this fragrance was inspired by vampires. I must also say I am inherently attracted to more bittersweet/bit tangy fragrances, so that “vampiric bite” of the pink pepper really sold it for me. You can also think when you smell this pink pepper like that is a bit of actual snake poison and then a dark blooming bouquet of red roses emerges. It still remains a bit tangy, a bit dry, a bit understated all throughout. This is one is for an archetype that has recently entered the modern media: the succubus chic (or vampire chic lol) This one is for all the women (and older teens) who are not overly sexual, there is a purity there, but who do like to seduce. They care less about the act and more about the seduction ritual. This one is also Ophelia floating in a lake surrounded by flowers. A dark berry lipstick note. Roses, exotic tropical flowers, dark earthy colors, lake water 💧 it’s so playful it becomes sarcastic. Some will dislike that... but for the brave one who likes that kind of vibe... oh boy... that person won’t be able to get away from you. A perfume before it’s time. I am kind of in shock how many people dislike this, maybe I was lucky it worked like magic on me.

This is my kind of perfume! The bottle may look tacky and silly with the oversized rubber flower stopper but it's an eye popping cute vanity table perfume if you're like me and are a very girly girl. I love how it looks in my bedroom. Lola smells a bit like a 1980s or 1990's vintage fragrance. It's not quite the same but it's giving off vibes of Ex'cla-ma'tion by Coty. It's a perfume one would have found in the wardrobe of Lisa Turtle from Saved By The Bell, or Molly Ringwald's room, or in cartoons, Fifi LaFume from Tiny Toons. It's got an innocent youthful girl vibe; but with a touch of maturity due to it's being a floral. When you spray it, the scent comes off as exceedingly sweet; almost sour, with a sticky and gooey floral oil type of vibe. The florals are coming through almost immediately with a distinctive geranium and rose pair. Not terribly fruity but there is a can't-miss-it grapefruit accord that is also coming through. The grapefruit and pink pepper give it a nice bite. This is still mostly more geranium and rose oil type of perfume. The scent is strong and lasts forever. The dry down reveals - at least to my nose - musk and vanilla. This is like a big flower has wrapped it's petals and sepals and stem all around you. Gorgeous and simple linear and sweet. If you like sweet florals and vintage style modern scents definitely for you. A fragrance to put on after you dress up in a pretty spring or summer 'retro' fashion, as in a real dress, not just a skirt, a nice cocktail dress, bold colors like violet, purple, pink or red, and with lipstick and high heels, make up. This is a very womanly dressy fancy scent but at the same time not too sophisticated, like a young woman who aspires to higher social status and is still learning and climbing the social ladder. It's also somehow innocent, cartoony cute like a dress for Minnie Mouse or Betty Boop. It's a colorful perfume. But you have to really like florals for you to like it.

I used to go to punk-rock concerts wearing Lola and a leather jacket. As a college student at the time, I mostly wore safe office-appropriate scents, but whenever I was mad at the world, it would be Lola. I like the pear, but I love the explosion of roses and peonies that Lola is after an hour or so. The musk, pear and roses conspire to give it a darker edge, almost like vinyl or hairspray, not sure what it is exactly. I didn't care. I always loved it and it's a quality scent, but it's not necessarily a crowd-pleaser. That was sort of the point. Fast-forward more than a decade and my husband still likes it on me, but it's not his favourite. I feel like I've outgrown the punk pears and peonies. Maybe I'll sell the rest of my bottle to an edgy tween (at heart). I was confused by a review down here that compared it to Modern Muse Le Rouge, which I associate with the mature, classy, happy, nice lady (not exactly punk-rock and black eyeliner). Then again, Le Rouge also has this odd quality that makes it a suitable scent for teens. I wore them side by side and went: 'Ohhhh, yeah...' I can see how you'd get there, they definitely are family at some point in the development. Both warm, both expensive-smelling, both fruity-florals that are well-grounded in their respective bases, keeping them from the usual fruity-floral screeching. They even both have that hint of vintage. I have to say that I think Le Rouge is better. Le Rouge is more well-rounded, more mature and more put together. Le Rouge gives me the same vibe as Idôle by Lancôme, but you wouldn't put Lola in that lady-like category. Lola is the younger cousin going through the grunge phase that Le Rouge has gotten over by now. We still love her though.

I'm surprised so many people don't like this scent. It is definetly not my favourite, and a rollerball will suffice but I do not understand this reference I keep reading about where people say it smells like plastic and talcum. To me this is definetly an evening scent (even though as I write this it's noon... felt like mixing it up today!) It is ultra mature and probably the most sophisticated of Marc Jacobs' scents. The rose is not too sharp or overpowering is rather sweet when complimented by the pear, which reminds me quite a bit of one of my favourite fragrances, Trésor in Love, which also has roses and pears. The Vanilla and Tonka Bean lend itself to create what some would consider a 'gourmand' scent, despite the obvious floral qualities. The lemon and pink pepper add an usual burst of freshness. This scent to me is perfect for the holidays, and a great choice for a christmas party. Despite some reviews which claim this is a 'sweaty' scent, I find it quite clean and subtle. Perhaps this works better with my body chemistry than the mass majority. I am a huge fan of all Marc Jacobs fragrances, but this one definetly stands out from the rest. I do not suggest blind buying this just because you like his other fragrances because it is very different, a lot more grown-up. What else can I say? When I smell this I smell 'elegance' EDIT: I should also include that the dry-down is almost a pure, delicate vanilla

Bottles get lost in my collection and I find that months or sometimes years go by between wearings even of those I really & truly enjoy. Such is the case with Lola. I feel naked when I leave the house unfragranced but occasionally I have to dash out --like today when I had an early appointment but the alarm didn't go off-- and well, there I am in the car feeling naked. That's why I keep a couple of small rollerballs in my purse, one of which is Lola. As I smoothed Lola over my arms and on my neck I resolved to find my (probably 10 year old) 100ml bottle when I got home because I'd completely forgotten how much I enjoy Lola's unique aura, enormous sillage and 10-12 hour persistence. There's something just so deliciously JUICY about Lola! No doubt it's a rose fragrance and a softly musky one at that but the overly ripe pear and the sunny tang of grapefruit make Lola a whole 'nother incarnation of rose, one that's not strictly floral nor can it be dismissed as a simple or generic floral-fruity. Very sweet, yes, but not candy sweet. Hard to explain this concoction but if it was on offer iced in a punch bowl I'd happily drink cup after cup. Just found out Lola's been discontinued so when I discovered my bottle with its hideously kitschy cap was just 1/2 full I ordered a beat up capless bottle for cheap on fleabay. True, I've haven't worn Lola often or even recently but I wouldn't want to be without her.

a sweet plastic y (just a hint)..you know the smell of those sweet erasers you used to have as a kid and almost want to eat..now i know why i liked it ! a fresh.. young.. sweet.. gourmand.. but its not that you almost want to drink it.. as in the escadas.. it has a unique character.. for a light floral powdery sweetish fragrance..i think the newer one.. the pink long one is alot friendlier or atleast will appeal to the younger crowds much more.. its fruity.. tropical.. bit of coconut. a bit of vanilla.. a bit of burnt sugar.. oh and the rubhub is just in your face.. and pears.. and all the exotic fruits of the enchanted forest..its almost made for a smurfet.. but something is missing the complexity.. the depth.. maybe i am smelling it and reviewing it after reviewing some master pieces.. so its not fair to judge it now..i bought it when it first came out i was in to those new purple bottles like the nina richi and packo rbane andd valantino u know 2008 or 9 the theme was all those sweet gormond young fre spritied light hearted perfumes that dont last long .. i want to smell the depth but nothing as if its all made up of top notes.. and maybe one or 2 middle notes there is no base to the perfume.. its just a beautiful young sweet fragrance that will not stand the test of time.. perfume ratting 3.6 out of 5 botlle rating tacky but unique 3.8 out 5

The 80’s etched and forwarded a postcard in the form of a huge damascone-primped rose that mixed her timelines and arrived too late for a debutante ball lined by simper looking, lipgloss tinted, ironed-haired coquettes that look dismissively at her neon eyeshadow and bouffant hair. Bestowed by her 3 godmothers Paris, Parfum de Peau and Nahema, with the gifts (?) of fluorescent rosiness, stubborn sillage and spicy charm, she’s defying the times she was tossed into and sets to rebel against the vapid stereotypes associated with youthful fruity florals. An inebriated rose bathed by baroque decadence, velvety roundness, piquant brashiness, loud and tad obnoxious, as if Cindy Lauper and Joan Jett mixed molecules to make one beautiful but very insolent baby. There’s a fruitiness combining with a big wallop of hot, fruity synthetic musk that reminds me of the tutti fruity smell of a translucent pink eraser I had at school that I used to rub just to get a whiff of the fruity bubblegum sweetness mixed with the hot rubber smell. Pink, acid-washed All Stars, Vivienne Westwood tartan dress and safety pins on a (physically but maybe not mentally) more grown up Pippi Longstocking. Cutesy rebellion.

Oh how I've missed this one. I said before that I was hesitant of repurchasing because i was worried I'd associate it with a bad time from long ago. But I didn't realise how hard it was to get at a reasonable price now and when i found one I could afford I couldn't avoid it any longer, and I'm so glad i went for it. It actually brings me back to really good times; when me and my husband were young,childless ( even though i love them more than the world) and free. When I'd wear this before a night out with friends and have a great time. It still smells the same to me; like sugar candied rose petals and musk sticks (an aussie lolly). Its heavy, not heavy in the way say, Hypnotic poison is heavy and thick, but in the sense that it has no fresh notes coming through, I get little to no grapefruit at all. It's all rose petals and tonka bean here but it's got an addictive quality to it that makes me just keep inhalong it. It's very long lasting also. Lola is quite unique and I'm yet to smell anything similar, and in all honesty I usually find Marc Jacobs fragrances to be a bit overpriced and underwhelming, but this is quite lovely. I also like Oh Lola but not quite as much as this one.

Lovely, lovely, lovely. Like Lancomes Magnifique Lola is approaching niche territory. "What did she say?" I hear people thinking. This one? Oh, yes! It ́s VERY good, juicy, boozy and at the same time fresh and flowery- it ́s a contrasting fragrance, so I am not talking weird niche, just maybe ALMOST a beginner ́s niche, like something by Montale or Bond. Sure, pink pepper has been overused, but when it ́s as perfect in moderation as it is here- who cares? I adore that it has rose and grapefruit. I am finding that I really love scents with the rose/grapefruit combo- it ́s wonderful in Byredo Rose Noir as well. Peony makes it flirty, geranium serious, so it ́s a slightly contrasting fragrance- is it for perky girls or grown women? Again, who cares? ANY woman could wear this and would smell wonderful in it. I don ́t really smell vanilla, but rather the tonka and musk, this type, is in almost ALL modern scents, so nothing to add about that. Somehow Lola also makes me think of Tauer perfumes- the boozy depth combined with something fun and sunny, as in hot weather sunny, not as in "happy-go-lucky" sunny. Lola is really very nice and I want more of it.

ok normally i hate the smell of roses in perfume.so cloying and synthetic. blind bought this from reviews here,and it was like $6 for a rollerball,so thought what the heck,if I hate it I have a 17 yr old daughter who would enjoy it,or a friend.Put it on maybe 30 mins ago,and I love it! the rose is definitely front and center,but it isn't gagging and over powering at all.I think the musk gives it a softer,more earthy feeling. the sillage isn't what I was hoping for,but it is a rollerball,so perhaps in a spray it would project more.I will update my review at the end of the day,if I get any compliments and how the dry down works out Either way,it's a keeper,and will definitely be buying a larger edp or edt asap! ok i didn't get too many compliments,a few and my bf likes it,he was surprised I did lol.it's definitely rosy,but i did enjoy the dry down,very soft and musky. again sillage was a bit too close to the skin.but perhaps in spray form it will be stronger.will definitely re-purchase this one.

I love this! I think my view of it is influenced by the memories that it holds for me, I was gifted it by my now husband in about 2010. The initial notes are spicy grapefruit, this settles to spicy sweet rose / peony, with the lingering scent being rose, something sweet but spiced and the musk. I agree with this scent being very similar to Lush's Rose Jam. I find one spray more than sufficient, it has good sillage and lasts 8 hours or more on me. If I spray it on clothes, it lingers for weeks! My bottle is very nearly gone. I was going to just end it with finishing it, but I couldn't imagine not having this in my collection. As it is discontinued, I bought a partly used bottle from ebay, most go for quite a bit of money but I managed to get about 30ml for £9 including postage. I class this scent as my first proper adult fragrance and maybe that's why it's so special to me as I see that reviews are quite polarised!

Lola joined my perfume family today. When this fragrance settled on my skin it reminded me of smelling a bouquet of fresh flowers. It's like picking a huge bunch daffodils in the spring and smelling them all at once. The rose notes are the strongest with peppery undertones and is it just me or can anyone else smell a hint of smoky-ness? The bottle as on all Marc Jacobs fragrances is a work of art! Some say they are tacky but if you love the other MJ fragrance bottles this will be a welcome addition to your collection. I feel Lola would suit a more mature woman (even though I'm 22 and I will quite happily wear her). Whereas Oh! Lola is definitely suited to the younger ladies. Over all I would say try Lola a few times before you knock it. Or at least try it a few times before you buy it to make sure it suits you as I can imagine that it's not everyone's cup of tea.

Little story behind this one: Im in Australia and about 3 and a half years ago, me and my husband were living in the pilbarra ( north west) with our then 6mnth old boy and once my husbands job ran out we had to pack up and move back down south asap to find more work; so we gad to sell anything that wasn't an absolute necessity..which for me meant parting with my collection of designer scents. I loved this one, i had a friend tell me i smelled like musk stick lollies once while wearing it lol. Its sweet with a slight spicyness to it. Ive never really been much for rose dominated scents but this ones quite fresh and sweet. Ive always wanted to replace this one but i havent for fears it will bring back bad memories of those days but i do love it. lasting power is good too. Ive never really smelled anything quite like it its unusual and can be worn by any age

I really, really like Lola! Such a gorgeus, dark, rose-musk-vanilla fragrance. I think the floral fruity category won't do it any justice. Makes it look lighter and more general than it actually is. At the beginning there is strong grapefruit and pink pepper, but soon it turns into that rose musky vanilla-y thing I already mentioned. Lovely! Lola is in no way a typical floral fruity, not even a floral and definitely not fruity. I'd say it leans more to oriental or gourmand, during the middle notes even to woody if I'm being bold here. One would have thought that for a fragrance with a powerful spirit like Lola, it would have a monster sillage, but alas, it doesn't. The sillage is just medium, which makes it suitable for daytime too. It doesn't last that long either, something around 4-5 hours on me. Still, I'm so glad I bought this!

Usually I feel buyers remorse after I give into my impulses and buy a new perfume. I don't even know how it happens. Once in a while I'll walk into a store to buy something else, and I'll end up with a new perfume. But this time when it happened, I didn't feel guilty at all. I absolutely love this perfume. You have your Daisys and newer fragrances like Dot. Then there's this. I can see why maybe the "Daisy" crowd doesn't like this because it's heavier and contains rose. I don't know why younger people don't care for rose, but I love it. The rose in this blends so well with the other notes. It's just so amazing. It's almost hard to describe properly. Just give it a chance! Oh, and it lasts forever and projects very well! I only needed a two sprays tops.

This fragrance is beautiful, mysterious, and sexy. It has lots of layers but upon first spray you get roses, pink pepper, and vanilla. It is warm and spicy but somehow floral and sweet too. I don't even know how to explain it but whenever I wear it I get showered in compliments. It makes me feel like such a woman. I've got to say the most compliments I get are from men who seem to love this smell. Another thing I love is that it lasts but it isn't overpowering, but if people lean in or hug me they immediately are like what are you wearing, wow! I see this perfume as a power perfume; walk into a room and own it. Its so so unique too. I have never smelled anything like it ever. This is my signature scent for sure.

Lola has been my ultimate favorite and my signature scent since 2009. I wear it all seasons. Very versatile and appealing. The vanilla and pear notes here are very slight that I can hardly smell them. However, what I surely get is a pleasant smell of roses, plum, booze, and red currant. It’s like sipping a plum and red currant boozy punch in a flower garden while the weather is a bit cool and fresh. It gets me straight in a dreamy mood with just a whiff. It’s lovely and mature —not grandma mature, but rather a thriving attractive woman in her 30’s who knows her worth and likes to be treated accordingly. Lola is thirty and flirty and thriving! ;) Gets me compliments.

I think Lola is a love or hate perfume, and I am on the lovers' side. Purple bottle is very original, although the velvet cap is better than plastic cap. For me this is a spicy rose scent with strong vanilla notes. Scent stays with you very long time, and after the dry down it gets better and better, smells like a rose scented lipstick with strong sillage.. I receive so many compliments with this perfume so I believe it fits to my chemistry. I love wearing this in winter, because due to its strong presence, wearing it in summer may be disturbing. If you like your rose spicy and sweet, then this is a must try.

A warm, heavy rose, woody musk with some vanilla and powder in the dry down. I'd call it dated and I absolutely love it. This scent is me. One time my husband was out of town for a few days and to compensate I slept with this perfume on and brought the bottle to bed. I've been wearing it since 2009. I did have to take a couple of years break from it because it is so heavy and and a bit dated. Best for cooler weather. I don't smell caramel, sweetness, insence or spice as other reviewers do. Scent is so subjective and I love that. It's personal and that makes it more interesting.

I got this for Christmas when it was first released. I didn't have an extensive knowledge of fragrance at the time but I like it because it was different, to me it reminded me of patchouli but I guess that's because its a little darker than some perfumes ive had. I used up a 30ml edp in about 6 months. 3 years later my husband and I were at a huge duty free perfume event at Birmingham airport and I could have got more of this but chose dot instead to be different. BIG MISTAKE! a 100ml bottle of dot ended up in the bin a few months ago as I never wore it and wish Id got lola!

Lola - I almost wish the full size would have the same shape as the 1.7? Why,well because Lola is gorgeous in that size, very representative of a woman's body shape in a rich velvety purple gown and she adorns her hair with beautiful flowers pinned on the side. She is flawless, sexy, somewhat mysterious old Hollywood vibe like Laurette Luez but with a modern Salma Hayek twist. I am so glad the pink pepper note is not prominent on me, what I get is a beautiful fruity floral musky scent. Good longevity and pretty nice sillage.

I just purchased this perfume. In the beginning I thought it was too strong for my taste. After a few hours, it grew on me! It doesn't smell as fruity as I thought it was going to be. After six hours it smells soft and feminine. Long lasting. Update: Love the pink pepper and peony notes! I have to admit, it gave me a headache the first time I wore it. I realized that if I spray the back of my neck and arms the headaches are gone. I went out and bought a bigger bottle as a back up.

the first and only perfume I ever made my mom buy for me. did I ever wear it? naw. she couldn't stand scents. I was obsessed with the bottle in ads, I thought it looked so cool and unique and chic. nylon mag era. (un)fortunately I have the roller version. I didn't do a very good job keeping out of sunlight so it's likely changed over the years; now I get kind of a malty opening. I still never wear it out as it's a bit too girly for my current disposition.

I love this fragrance. I agree with moreluvr - for me, the base notes are prune juice and cherries! Top notes and middle notes: lots of brown sugar and licorice. And then, peonies and roses giving the garter. Speaking like that, I must give the impression that this is an excessively sweet fragrance, but I would say it has just the right amount of sweetness. I also notice tonka and musk. But no pear and absolutely no pink pepper!

I've noticed the perfumes I like seem to have the same theme when it comes to notes - either one of or a combination of florals, pear and musk. This has all three! This smells sweet but not too sweet, is sophisticated and reminds me of those peel off samples of perfume you get in an expensive glamour/beauty magazine. As with a lot of Marc Jacob's perfumes, the bottle is beautiful and very flamboyant. This is high on my wishlist!

First time I tried it, I drove home all the way smelling my wrist. I took a shower and still could felt the aroma. Inmediately next day I went again to the shop and bought it. It's so sensual and delicious. For a woman of 30 onwards. A man that smells it, defenitely will not stop thinking of the woman who wears it. It's such an exciting and addictive smell. It goes to your brain! It lasts all day. Defenitely I recomend it! =)

Lola by Marc Jacobs is beautiful to my nose. Very sad it got discontinued. I had to find a bottle on ebay (very risky) but I managed to find it. It's pink pepper on steroids at first but then you get that gorgeous fresh-cut rose and sparkly peony floating in and ah, it's so special. Best part for me is the dry down. Very warm and musky. It only works when the weather is around 50 or 60 deg Fahrenheit. I love it.

This perfume is very 90s- it reminds me a lot of Tommy Girl which was one of my first perfumes ever and now recently I've started wearing it again for the nostalgic vibe and the fact that nobody I know wears it anymore. I do prefer Tommy Girl over Lola because it's a fresher lemon rose and Lola is more peppery, but those who like peppery citrus perfumes like Chanel's line will likely prefer Lola.

My best friend in the whole world wears this. It brings me to my knees everytime. I love the smell of roses, and on her, it just compliments her so well. Her Bday was on the 14th and i got her the biggest bottle i could find, and she of course was the cutest, happiest thing in the whole world when she opened it! This should be in every romantic/classy woman's collection!

Lola is one of my favorites. The reviewers describing it as a "peppery floral" are spot on. I guess it isn't for everyone, but that is what makes it special. A friend of mine- who has an excellent nose- one remarked that it smells like pencil lead! And funnily enough, she was totally right. But in a good way; in a lovely, floral, peppery, musky way!

Last time i've smell it about 10 years ago, i don't remember clearly the the way it smell. I just remember that is about the pink pepper and rose, two sexiest notes mixed together. That was the most beautiful, most seductive, and sexiest femine fragrance i ever smelled. Hope to smell it again in future, sometime, somewhere...

I really love this perfume. It didn't seem to get a lot of love from reviewers and I can't understand why. A much more complex perfume than it was given credit for and one of the most beautiful dry downs I have ever smelt. Also received a lot of compliments with this one. Sorry that it was discontinued.

Trashy- glam pinterest girl vibes. Very naive, yet unapologetic. Dusty rose-berries. Maybe I am the one who's losing her mind, or deceived by pink-purple bottles, but again gives the Lolita Lempicka, Vera Wang - Princess, Mugler- Alien, Guerlain- LPRN, Dior-Poison Girl vibes, even DNAs are different.

God, this perfume is so lovely. Fairly complex compared to most Marc Jacobs fragrances, and it lasts ages. One spray will last all day, and then some. Underneath the floral notes, it almost smells like pencil shavings. Very sad it was discontinued, but luckily it's so strong that a bottle lasts ages.

a bottle for spoiled woman. powderbomb, still a love. at the opening and first 30 mins, a spectacular line which is very rosy, very leafy, yet very purple, I did not smell in anywhere else. I call it cold violet leafs. That's why it will be a forever fragrance for me

an old favourite. i prefer it for evening wear but it works just as well on a rainy day. goes with most seasons i feel but i tend to get bored of it rather quickly nowadays. love the soft musky undertones and kitsch bottle. my hipster cousin recommended this to me :)

Very elegant scent. Not the usually overly sweet, floral fruity scent from Marc Jacobs. If you love rosey scents you'll definitely love this! Even though I don't tend to like rose scents, I really loooooove this perfume! Best Marc Jacobs perfume ever!

Between this and Lola Velvet both smell the same.if your doing a blind buy you won't be disappointed. Of course ,I'm not one to love florals but this is a sweet floral and it stays on you all day. Very clean scent almost indescribable.

I am being honest, this my college years... fresh, careless and fun. I am absolutely hear broken that it has been discontinued: I would be the happiest person even to have this perfume back 🥹🥹🥹it was such a wonderfully wonderful scent.

I just missed sooo much, it reminds me an old version of me, I can tell you on which era I was by the perfume I was waring it on that time, anyways if you have the chance to buy it do it, you won't regret it.

Lola is a cosy smell, with a delightful woodsy dry down. I find it to be marvelous, with an excellent thick quality body cream also. Sample it, you might just love it

Sweet and spicy, what a beautiful floral. Unfortunately longevity is not very good on my skin. Very lovely and feminine, the drydown is warm and cozy. I love it!

This smells of soft flowery, powdery incense to me. An absolute favorite of mine. Very hard to get these days, I don't know if it got discontinued or what.

In cold weather it's nauseating. In warm late spring and summer weather this is mesmerizing! It's so gorgeous and sexy 💗

Love smells like princess trapped in a dusty turret

To be honest I wanted that purple bottle with it's colorful flower-shaped soft plastic cap so badly so I decided to blindbuy Lola eventhough I dislike pink pepper and I have a love,hate relationship with rose and peony. When I first sprayed Lola I could smell something boozy like red wine and lots of pink pepper. I'm not a fan of it's opening part because it's a bit bitter and I don't like pink pepper in general . after a while, that boozy vibe goes away and pepper calms down a bit and flowers specially rose start to shine. I can pickup a fruity undertone but I don't really get pear or grapefruit. what I smell in this phase(half an hour after spraying) is floral notes(mainly rose but peony and geranium are noticeable too)+fruity accord +pink pepper+a touch of musk and tonka. It's not really sweet in this stage but at least it's not bitter anymore three hours after spraying, it evolves to a super gorgeous, dreamy scent. very sweet, clean, silky,soft and smooth. I guess what I'm smelling is mostly rose+musk+vanilla. now it's as if it's something made by Narciso Rodriguez. it's a strong skin scent in this stage which lasts for another four hours on my skin. For me,Lola is a rose dominant floral perfume. it has a bit of freshness but is not an overly fresh one.the rose note in it is not a super delicate,girly, pink rose.not a very dark and heavy rose either.it's something in the middle. the rose note is a bit dusty in it's first half of life and softly powdery in second half but never soapy. Lola is a modern floral but with a very slight dusty vintage edge and there are elements that make it more interesting than a simple floral. it's just a little spicy. just a little fruity. just a little boozy. just a little musky. just a little powdery. just a little sweet all in all it's pleasant,feminine and sensual.I see nothing girly or teenage-like here.it's not exceptional but I find it classy and well put together and I think it's ageless and a versatile one(suitable for office wear as well as date nights). it has good lasting power(+8 hours)but sillage doesn't pass moderate.I wish it had better projection. I purchased my 3.4oz bottle of lola for 60$ and I think it's worth it. it's a dislike in it's first phase.something between indifferent and like in it's second phase and love in it's third phase. موقع اسپری شدن، ترکیبی از فلفل قرمز+یه چیزی شبیه شراب قرمز ازش میگیرم. از این مرحله اصلا خوشم نمیاد چون فلفل خیلی غالبه و تو این مرحله، بوی تلخ و قدیمی طوری داره. اما بعد از نیم ساعت، اون بوی شراب مانند و فلفل قرمز محو میشن و گلها به ویژه رز غالب میشن درحالیکه یه ته بوی کمرنگ میوه ای هم حس میشه. این مرحله(فاز دوم رایحه لولا): نتهای گلی(عمدتا رز،اما پیونی و شمعدانی هم محسوسن)+یکم فلفل قرمز+آکورد میوه ای+مشک+یکم تونکا هست. تو این مرحله، رایحه چندان شیرینی نداره اما دیگه تلخ هم نیست. حدودا سه ساعت بعد از اسپری شدن، لولا تبدیل به یه رایحه شیرین،تمیز، رؤیایی، لطیف و ابریشمی شده. احتمالا این رایحه زیبا، ترکیبی از رز+مشک+وانیل هست. تو این مرحله، بوی عطر کاملا نزدیک به پوسته و دیگه پخش نداره. بااینحال رایحه خیلی قشنگی رو سطح پوست به جا میذاره فاز اول رایحه، واسه من دیسلایکه. فاز دوم یچیزی بین بی تفاوتی و لایک. اما تو فاز سوم واسم لاو هست لولا یه عطر گلی با غلبه رز هست.نت رز لولا نه خیلی فرش و روشنه نه خیلی تیره و سنگین.تو سه ساعت اول عمرش،یکم گرد و خاکی طوره و بعد از اون، یکم پودریه اما هیچوقت حس و حال صابونی پیدا نمیکنه. ضمنا برخلاف چیزی که تو توصیفات رایحه میبینیم. میشه اینجور توصیفش کرد که لولا رایحه غالب گلی داره اما یه کوچولو اسپایسی هم هست. یه کوچولو میوه ای هم هست. یه کوچولو مشکی هم هست. یه کوچولو شیرین هم هست.یه کوچولو بوزی(شراب طور) هم هست. یه کوچولو پودری هم هست و همه اینا باعث شدن، لولا جذابتر از یه عطر گلی ساده باشه. بنظرم از سن بیست به بالا، برای تمام سنین مناسبه و میتونه خیلی پرکاربرد باشه (از محل کار گرفته تا دیت) و چهارفصل قابل استفاده ست

Lola is one of my favorite fruity florals (which is not typically a group I pick from often). It's soft, pretty, and unassuming. The pink pepper provides a little spiciness and intrigue to the rose, and together, they perfectly complement each other. The pear is just the right amount of fruitiness without overpowering the soft florals, musk and sweet vanilla. Lola is gentle, buoyant. Purely delightful. To mimic another reviewer below me: Lola absolutely has a '90s throwback quality. That's actually the entire reason I decided to try it. I think most times I see Marc Jacobs perfumes with their flamboyant toy-like bottles, I can't take them seriously. But Lola helped me gain perspective on the matter. Especially going back to that '90s mentality - Couldn't you see the kitschy Lola bottle sitting atop Lisa Turtle's dresser (from Saved by the Bell)? Or perhaps Blossom Russo's? Heck, one of my favorite perfumes in the '90s, Fetish, had a ridiculous bottle. Which is one of the reasons I tried it in the first place! Haha. Lastly, I have an odd story, or, perhaps a comparison to add. Lola isn't exactly a perfume I would've even taken a second look at if not for searching high and low for similar scents to Avon's discontinued 'Natori'. I recently read that a knock-off of Lola, called "Hola", was a dead ringer for the gloriously '90s Natori. I thought, "Well, what about actual Lola?" While they had a few notes in common, Lola turned out to be only vaguely similar to Natori. But I wasn't disappointed by Lola in the slightest - it's a charming scent that I'm glad I happened to stumble upon.

This is rich, almost oily, a powerful rose scent; the key with this one is to apply lightly, with one or two sprays. It is stronger than you think. I love grapefruit and rose conbinations. I love the grapefruit-rose in Coco Noir. This grapefruit is a sour one, a big juicy Indian River squirt in your eye grapefruit. The rose note is thick, oily, and fatty. The whole perfume has a Rubenesque quality, overripe, sensual, a little blowsy. I love it, it is like bad genre fiction that is so bad it is good. I don't get that much peony, but I definitely get an old school geranium, which I love. There is quite a soild base of vanilla and tonka to anchor the rose, and sweeten the greenish geranium. Projects big, and leaves an impressive trail. This is not a black pepper at all, it is a rosy, spicy, pink pepper, but it definitely opens with a bang. Very little pear on me, enough to sweeten the grapefruit. Pear can have a dry quality for a fruit, but this is a juicy pear note. Again, there is a thick quality to the pear, a little sweet, a little gourmand with the vanilla and tonka. The rose lingers throughout, never really ceding the stage. I don't get much musk, which is probably a good thing. Just a little sexy muskiness to the florals. But, that top! that giant plastic gaudy ridiculous thing. I don't know what that is supposed to be saying to the world. I have to keep my bottle out because it doesn't fit anywhere. so there it sits, next to those ridiculous birds from Lily Sanguine.
