I really like this perfume. I’m a lover of orientals, and normally they are heavy for daily use, but this Au Masculin is not. You can wear it from morning without it becoming heavy, and despite its oriental notes, it becomes fresh and wearable. On my skin it’s exquisite, sweet anise with an explosion of vanilla and licorice. It’s a risky perfume given what is being done currently, which is why I’ve always said it seemed more like a niche perfume than a commercial one.
What a good perfume, and that despite it being reformulated. From start to finish you can feel the praline, vanilla, licorice, and rum. It’s a very sweet and potent fragrance, ideal for catching girls’ attention. Perfect for a romantic dinner and love encounters. Longevity 7 hours, trail 3 hours. A masterpiece, I give it a 9/10.
Tasty fragrance, the best from the house. This Lolita Masculine is a scent that starts with anise but very tasty. Then comes the delicious part, which is worth thanking for its unique aroma that keeps breathing richness all day. It’s for people who know class and like to walk well.
Tales from the forests of Vienna. How can one resist with such a bottle? Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin is, to date, the tenderest and most charming ‘masculine’ fragrance I’ve had the pleasure of smelling. Sweet as a lump of sugar slowly dissolving in the mouth, warm and comforting like a cup of spiced liqueur, woody and herbal like the flora of the forest. For me, Au Masculin is a rich, somniferous, and hypnotic tisane prepared (by the grandmother) with anise liqueur, licorice, ivy leaves and stems, basil, violet flowers, woods, and sugar. We savour the previous infusion accompanied by delicate almond and vanilla pastries. Soft, narcotic, medicinal, light, ethereal. No note is discordant; on the contrary, they amalgamate to create something wonderful, soft and sweetly intoxicating. I perceive slightly dry wood notes, touches of vegetation (sage and chlorophyll) in addition to edible and sweet essences over an alcoholic and spiced background. Masculine? Feminine? Neither. Lolita L. Au Masculin is childish (not suitable for evil-hearted adults XD). It is a creature whose gender we cannot distinguish. A child who, regardless of age, plays and fantasises. Who can be a prince or princess, who is content to open a book to travel to a secret garden or an enchanted forest, who believes in fantasy and magic, and who, with a simple scent, can enter a wonderful country. Longevity: 8h+. Projection: Moderate.
Au Masculin and all its offspring (Intense, Black Illusions, L’Eau) is the perfume I’d use Robin Hood with. But not a realistic Robin Hood, but one in technicolour, eccentric, deliberately comic and histrionic, with a certain flair, like Errol Flynn or the old Disney film. There’s something in this fragrance and its flankers, full of sweet notes that move away from the ‘gourmand’ label to be woody, resinous and forest-like. However, here there is no danger or wild nature; it’s a European fairytale forest, of fantasy and almost kitsch. It’s curious that before sexually ambiguous or childish concepts like the sweetness of anise and vanilla, a notion of kind, jovial, and fun masculinity is placed first; I believe this nuance undoubtedly comes from the ivy, absinthe, and licorice. Au Masculin and its declensions are not gourmand perfumes; they are baroque and caricatured interpretations of the classic fougère/aromatic father. This father is not rigid or severe; he’s one who at the first opportunity disguises himself in family dinner attire and imitates someone while the others die laughing. Whenever I smell it, I think of Robert De Niro’s role in the underrated ‘Stardust’ by Neil Gaiman… a brave and quarrelsome pirate, ruthless with the enemy, but when alone in his dressing room, voilá, he puts on a can-can, paints a beauty mark, and gives cabaret eyes while fanning himself on his divan. Finally, having unisex connotations in ingredients, finish, and packaging, I find it terribly masculine, not unisex at all. To put it some way, Au Masculin is one of those heterosexual men who, once relaxed, have a certain flair but never thought of sleeping with a lad. Illegitimate daughter of Le Male by Gaultier (that work of art we hated for overuse) and, like all fragrances from the house with a certain synthetic aftertaste that forms part of the Lempicka philosophy. Marvelous.
I’ve had a bottle of Au Masculin for almost two years that I’ve hardly used, only testing on my wrist or hand. I always thought I had it because a collection without it feels incomplete. However, I was greatly surprised to finally dare to wear it in the middle of winter today, 20th January. Something wonderful is its dry-down: it’s not as cloying as its opening suggests. The impression of anise liqueur, as FandeDune rightly points out, puts me off a little, but the dry-down is rounded and bearable. The anise lowers in intensity but builds up into a sweet, liquid vanilla wood with a minimum dark touch, perhaps from the almond and rum, making it dense and high-performance. It simply perfumes the path with a jovial and warm aura. It’s not for Generation X, but it has left a very good impression on me. Things come to their time; my little 50ml bottle finally arrived at its time after three years. It will surely see more action on cold days. Highly recommended.
Finally, I have it. For those in Valencia, it is available at DRUNI on Calle Emilio Baro in Benimaclet if you do not want to pay what Corte Inglés asks. I like it very much; I reaffirm my previous review: although it walks over styles like Le Male and Pi Givenchy Eau de Toilette Fraîche, for me it is more tender and poetic. It conveys greater sentiment, sensitivity, and message. Perhaps I will not withdraw my reservation about another bottle, as it is practically discontinued in Spain. And 30 euros are not the 74 from the department stores. A different perfume that offers a magical delicacy that does not go unnoticed.
Childhood… This fragrance reminds me with nostalgia of the childhood era, between birth and adolescence. When at 10 or 11 years old, our worries were few. The days when your gang would come looking for you, you’d grab your BH bicycle, stop at a corner shop, and buy your stick licorice for 5 pesetas. You would pedal outside the town, venture into the forest smelling of pine, flowers, and vegetation. A hollow tree split by lightning was a mandatory stop to eat vanilla pastries, laugh, and play football. On returning, you would look for your grandfather to eat at that old village bar, with smells of tobacco, aniseed, and an intriguing sweetness. Macaroni, chicken, brushing teeth with chlorophyll, and a nap to recover strength. Happy childhood, sweet, pleasant, without worries. This masterpiece smells like that, like our tender childhood. Greetings to all. PS: If you can get it now, do not hesitate, as it is difficult to find and it is said it will be discontinued.
Very hard to find, unless at department stores at an exorbitant price. Finally, a perfumer ordered it and I’ll have it in 10 days. It seems discontinued, although I dislike its Intense version. This Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin is a sweet, tender fairytale. As Gustavemarqus says, it has a childish air, but rather than childish, it’s innocent and pure, like a white voice that knows no sin. It’s a fantastic journey through green branches towards the happiness of an enchanted house. But beware, it’s not all innocence; it could lead to sensuality without us realising. Good trail and longevity, ideal for evenings, and perhaps not so much in summer. It will soon be discontinued in Spain, so buying a bottle now is a good idea.
This is how hype is created… I know it won’t please everyone, and lovers of this fragrance will not understand my opinion, but I think someone needs to contradict the reviews that elevate it. I have had it for years as a self-gift. Do I like it? Yes, but with many nuances. The masculine version and the feminine EDP are very similar; the masculine is drier and rougher, while the feminine is more gourmand, but the DNA is there: anise, licorice, and vanilla. I like the notes separately, but when mixed, they can sometimes result in being stifling or unbearable, and other times too subtle. It did not have a significant niche following, perhaps for that reason it was discontinued. Its lovers will have complications finding substitutes, except for its feminine version. The trail is moderate for about four hours and then drops to skin-level where it lasts longer. Perhaps the anise and licorice bomb characterises it but also distances it. It is not for everyone nor for everyday wear. It is not a masterpiece, but the courage to do something different is appreciated. I bought it for 19.95€ for 100 ml; now I would refuse to pay what they ask. It is considerable, but I do not compare it with other discontinued scents treated as lost jewels. It is a pity it was discontinued, but if I did not have it, I would not mind especially having it.
This fragrance has been part of my collection since its launch. Sometimes I wear it, other times I leave it, but only for a short while. It’s… indefinable. That’s the word. I don’t pigeonhole it into any genre and for that originality, I love it. On my skin, it evolves brilliantly: at first it’s fresh (though not defined citrus), almondy, and quickly a licorice with anise becomes prominent, very pleasant. It’s not the candy-like licorice like in La Petit Robe Noire, but the root kind, the one I ate as a child and my grandmother would scold me for picking worms. This note dominates throughout, ending with a distinctive vetiver, masculine and very well done. It gives a virile touch without losing the ambiguity its sweetness provides. I’m obsessed with it. It has a formidable memory effect, capturing the romance and fantasy of Lolita Lempicka very well. Like its female counterpart, it’s a must-have. They are enveloping and wearable fragrances for all ages. Excellent quality-price-performance ratio. Annick Menardo always surprises me by taking risks, and I like that.
Latest impressions: I’ve just finished a 50ml bottle I’ve had in my collection for about five years; I used it rarely, but I love it. It has a unique scent, except after four hours when it becomes slightly talcum-like and reminds me of another. I strongly perceive the anise as absinthe, so it resembles absinthe with the sweet touch of vanilla. Then in flashes comes the almond, rum, and tonka bean. Although we’re in summer now, I recommend it for autumn-winter and some spring nights. It’s more for night than day use. Today I wore it to finish the bottle and store it in the box of memories, knowing it will always be present.
Indeed, as Juancar677 pointed out, Lolita Lempicka is withdrawing from Spain. I headed to Douglas and managed to grab two 50ml bottles for €32.95, which were the last ones available. Good luck and a great price. I’ll keep them like gold in a safe. If you want this perfume, hurry up; both Druni and Douglas are selling it cheap until stocks run out.
Some time ago, I acquired a 50 ml bottle of the last reformulation before it was discontinued. The opening is too sweet for my taste, and the dry-down lasts only about four hours. It is a pity because, once settled, it leaves a very pleasant liquorice-like scent. I detect a hint of Annick Menardo’s Body Kouros, but the YSL version avoids excessive sweetness, perhaps due to the eucalyptus and incense. It seems like an original and relaxed proposal for a young audience, ideal for autumn and winter. Overall, it is a good fragrance, but the price on websites, taking advantage of the fact that it is no longer manufactured, is extremely high.
Dramatic, poetic, exciting, passionate, and magical for those who seek it. A work made to be remembered, one that does not go unnoticed. I would say it is intense, but the truth does not allow me to say that.
I love it! It was my fragrance during my adolescence. A delicious vanilla with oriental notes that made me feel unique. However, it is quite heavy; more than four sprays are excessive. With good dosage, it can be enjoyed immensely. It is super woody, full of vigour, like spilled vanilla over wet logs. I will always remember it with affection.
Au Masculin is a tale featuring a captivating male character. Its opening is more lush and masculine than the feminine version, thanks to the absinthe and caraway, which give it a dark forest of poisonous herbs. It is an alcoholic opening with a potent anise, wonderful and incredible. Smelling it is like finding the Green Devil: a magician with deep eyes and an intense gaze, a necromancer who bewitches you. As the hours pass, its vanilla and violet tones quench your thirst; it is a healer who gives you what you need without asking. Take advantage and collect bottles; every man should own it to be that sensual sorcerer in a sombre wood. Mystical in the extreme.
Greetings! This has been my favourite fragrance since 2001. I have repurchased it many times and still have a full bottle of the old version with the tree trunk design, which I managed to buy on clearance because they said it was no longer being made. I heard that new glass bottles were released, but I haven’t tried them yet to see if they retain the essence. The original stands out for its anise and licorice notes; to me, they smell delicious, although they might bother others or cause headaches in the evening. It seemed like a very different masculine proposal in its time and remains unique: sweet, deep, intoxicating, with a woody base. It leaves a good trail for about six hours, and even the next day, you can still detect it with water. On clothes, it smells fresh, but be careful: the drops can leave a light green stain. The bottle is a tree trunk with raised ivy, without a cap; you simply press on top. It represents the Tree of Eden in contrast to the apple in the feminine version. It is no longer available in Puerto Rico; I had it on clearance two years ago. If anyone has tried the new version, please let me know.
Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin is a masterpiece I didn’t realise until yesterday, and now I can’t believe it has been discontinued. It is so well-blended that I bought two bottles. The balance between anise, licorice, and absinthe with florals, vetiver, and sandalwood is perfect; it prevents it from being too sweet and gives it masculinity. Although almond, vanilla, and praline are prominent, they do not disrupt the harmony but rather highlight its exquisite nature. If you are a collector, get this jewel before it disappears.
I picked this up in 2011 because Carolina Herrera’s Sexy was out of stock, and the sales assistant recommended Au Masculin as a seductive alternative. At first, it didn’t do much for me, but given the price, I took it home. My dad wore it for the first time, and when I asked him about the scent, he told me it was Au Masculin! Since then, it’s become a classic that is no longer available, and believe me, it is an absolute beast of a fragrance.
This perfume is like taking hallucinogens, literally. It takes you to a fairy forest, gnomes on mushrooms and unicorns in rainbows. The worst is that it is addictive. Performance is moderate, leaning downwards, but it is worth it. I have tried the new reformulation and I have only distinguished goat milk water and a small hint of licorice at the base. Disappointing.
I bought it at Douglas… They were liquidating the last bottles. What a pity… It does not smell like before, nor does it have that ‘anise’ aroma. As the fellow said… I only smell water and talcum. R.I.P.
It was a beautiful gift. Once you try it, you cannot forget it. It is a strange fragrance in the best sense, as male gourmands are rare. Anise and licorice predominate, followed by vanilla and violet, ending in a sweet and balsamic note (rum, praline, cedar…). It conveys the greenery of a forest after the rain (perhaps the vetiver); the anise mixes with herbs of an imaginary forest, and the vanilla does not bother, it joins the licorice. The freshness of the violet diverts the imagination, introducing flowers into our vision; it is not just a patisserie, it is a living aroma. Sweet but alive. I consider it more unisex than male; it has an ambiguous scent. The gourmand side is typically feminine, so it could be hers too. It is not so sweet or cloying; it has a certain warmth. Usage: winter and summer. In summer, perfect for the evening; the licorice and vanilla take us to lush gardens of honeysuckle and night-blooming flowers, hinting at a party with drinks and merriment. In winter, the licorice and anise suggest a rainy day in a cold forest, warmed by vanilla by the fire. Pros: Everything mentioned. Cons: Scanty sillage and longevity. It lasts well for the first minutes, but after half an hour, you only notice the trail yourself. I hope this defect improves, because it deserves it. 7.5/10.
It is my favourite perfume. Truly, it transports you to an enchanted forest, with that anise touch that never goes away. What a pity it is no longer available.
A super original perfume. Perhaps it is not as popular due to its strong anise scent, but I love it; it is one of my favourites. The good thing is that in Chile it is cheap, less than 40 euros for the 100 ml. I recommend it 100%.
All fairy tales take place in the forest, each one’s individual forest. Au Masculin is the golden key to venture into that enchanted place of dreams, leaving behind the noise of civilisation, with that mix of fear and pleasure in challenging childhood fears. Everything changes as you explore: the heart calms, you feel relaxed and curious, enjoying a non-hostile environment but full of wonders. It is a peculiar gourmand, probably not for everyone. It is pure magic, transcends reason, seeks your secret soul and blooms with extraordinary emotions. Spray and you risk compulsively smelling your forearm in public. After the twelfth time on my skin, I wonder how a ‘man’s’ perfume can be so brilliant. It is unisex. It starts vigorous and liquorish with anise. Beware of those who do not like licorice. This strong note evaporates quickly, becoming delicate, soft and powdery. Good durability (6-7 hours), satisfactory trail at first, but pure potency diminishes over time. A great fragrance that smells like a fairy tale.
Walking through a magical forest with fairies fluttering around you. A unique, exquisite, intoxicating and bold aroma. Nothing like anything known. You can hate it or love it. I would not recommend a blind buy, but if your spirit is innovative and transgressive, it will suit you perfectly. It is something feminine, so it requires very masculine men to wear it (a lovely paradox). No complexes. The violet accord, green notes and licorice are fabulous. The anise note lingers thanks to the rum, honeyed and enveloping. The anise is also very noticeable. Very peculiar. For non-hot periods, at night or fresh days with few sprays. Good longevity and a reasonable trail. Worth trying. A fragrant hug.
I love it! So pleasant to wear, especially in mid-season or cold weather. What a pity that, like any gem, it has been discontinued.
PROJECTION AND FIXATION: VERY GOOD. QUALITY: VERY GOOD. BLIND BUY: NO. 7/10. Only for those living in cold areas. Sometimes it gives me a headache, but it is a very special and seductive scent. It is for winter and evening; too heavy for other climates.
Annick Menardo is the Björk of perfumery: she creates spectacular, unconventional things brimming with fantasy and magic. She is eccentric and whimsical. Au Masculin is proof of her talent; it plunges you into a fairy tale filled with sweetness and happiness. The longevity and projection are moderate to low, which is a shame, but alongside Jaipur Homme and its flankers, they are her masterpieces.
Hello! Tried it at the insistence of a colleague. Reluctantly and without enthusiasm, I must say I was wrong… what a mistake I made! I didn’t have faith in it, perhaps due to the lack of hype, but the surprise was huge. Initially I thought of JPG Le Male, but of a different quality. Impressed by its exquisiteness and performance, I bought it before it disappeared. Highly recommended, greetings!
Honestly, I don’t remember the exact scent; I used it years ago and loved it, hoping to find it again.
Is it extinct? I remember it from when I was a boy; my mother used it (even though it’s theoretically for men, I believe perfumery is unisex). I remember it sweet, super subtle, and pleasant, one of those scents that stays etched in your memory. Without a doubt, I would buy it if I saw it, although I’ve seen the apple ones and they aren’t like this.
It was extremely seductive and intoxicating. In 98/99 it was a boom; my wife, who usually doesn’t like perfumes, would say ‘waaaa’ and shower me with compliments every time we went out. It’s a pity that, like many others, it fell victim to reformulation until its discontinuation; recent editions are a mockery of how wonderful it once was.
A classic I tried in 2001 that lasted a week on my arm. It was offered as a fragrance for men and indeed it is, since it comes from the Lolita Lempicka line which was originally feminine.
I tried it for my boyfriend and hated it instantly. It literally smells like playdough with anise. It lasts forever and when the wind blows, the scent lifts up tremendously. Definitely don’t buy it blindly.
Exceptional for cold autumn and winter afternoons; it envelops you with the warmth of anise, licorice, and praline. Sometimes it leaves a bitter green note that makes it intoxicating. Low projection, perhaps because it’s from 2013, but I wish they could delve deeper into a creation as innovative as Au Masculin by Lolita Lempicka.
I wouldn’t say reformulation anymore, but DEformulation. When it first came out, it was a bomb of quality on the base of the legendary Le Male torso; now it seems like a watered-down Le Male with weird herbal notes like boldo. It’s rare, half-sweet, woody, and herbal. Masculine but weak; a lady could wear it. Similar to Benetton’s Tribu, but significantly toned down.
A gem from the 2000s, soft, sweet, and cheerful. At 25, it still radiates happiness thanks to Lolita Lempicka’s notes of anise, rum, praline, vanilla, and almonds. Ideal all year round, except in summer.
I was looking for that hint of anise and it didn’t disappoint: dries quickly, very different from the classic powdery masculine scent, finishing with a sweet woody trail that isn’t cloying. The violet reminded me of Dior’s Fahrenheit, but in a completely opposite way.
