Unique scent, it’s like being in a fairy tale.
I met it by chance, that’s how intense and stormy loves usually begin. I was looking for fresh gourmand fragrances and, passing its shelf, purely on a whim, I took a sample and sprayed it on a bare patch of my arm, a bit secretly from the sales assistant, as I thought she would look at me strangely for trying something very different from what I’d asked for. It was a playful gesture, as Lolita Lempicka had never interested me; I imagined a brand with very sweet and heavy aromas. So I brought my nose close and it was… my hair stood on end, I don’t know, but my eyes opened wide. What an entrance, dark and sweet, with presence, marked but not overwhelming. It was a goad, I was injecting poison but couldn’t stop. I couldn’t move my nose away, I needed to know how it evolved. It became powdery and increasingly delicious, and in the back of my mind I had already chosen it over the other testers. I told myself “I’m sure the final phase will be bad”, but that didn’t happen; by the time the base notes arrived, I had already sworn eternal love. And I ordered it. The sales assistant did look at me strangely, as it was an unexpected choice, only that fate decided we weren’t meant to be together and by mistake sold me another LL line, another fragrance. To this day, that pleasure of smelling Lolita Lempicka remains in my memory. Extremely powdery but without being vulgar or having the air of an “older lady”, on the contrary, I felt it was an ageless aroma for those who know how to enjoy it. I felt it was for me and I for it, and I haven’t felt anything similar with another fragrance (please forgive the others), and I’ve tried many since then. It’s in my plans to acquire it at some point, but it’s hard to find in perfumeries in my country. Yes, a tragic love. And to stop this from seeming like a novel and more like a review, I’ll say the longevity is very good, around five hours maintaining the quality of the aroma. The projection isn’t too powerful, but the scent has so much body that you feel it clearly when you bring your nose close to the skin. It would be a perfume for special occasions, autumn-winter afternoons, a trip to the galleries or cocktails; but I would have worn it all the time without shame. Someday, someday we will be together, I declare it, I decree it.
When I first smelled this perfume, over ten years ago, I didn’t like it at all. But now that I’ve received a sample, I’ve given it another chance. I know many talk about the quality having dropped and changing so much in aroma and performance, but I’m here to share my impressions of the one currently available (2022) in perfumeries. Undoubtedly a complex and difficult-to-describe aroma, where I fundamentally perceive a star anise bomb in the opening, drying down to a more subdued and soft cherry licorice, powdery and sweet. If it’s true that it has lost potency, the original must have been a bomb, as this one lasts on my skin for more than eight hours with moderate/high projection during the first 2-3 hours. A unique, iconic perfume, one easily recognisable with eyes closed. However, I believe it would be very difficult for me to find the right moment to wear it, and for that reason I consider that, at least for now, it’s not for me.
One of the very few perfumes to receive an unconditional yes back in 2010. Back then it wasn’t very popular, it remains wonderful but very difficult to wear as it can be smelled a kilometre away… the nice thing is that it’s loved by so many people. Everyone asked about it. A very pleasant aroma.
This perfume evokes the White Witch from some fairy tale. Characterful but not dark. Sweet, mysterious, quite medicinal… magical. Undoubtedly an enchanting potion. 🖤
I simply adore it. It was created for me, that’s how I feel. I was 13-15 when my mum gave it to me by chance; a lady selling subscription kits handed it to me for my birthday. IT WAS MAGNIFICENT. The scent evolved, leaving a sweet, vanilla-infused talc at the end of the day, simply delicious without being cloying, intoxicating and hypnotic, like I couldn’t stop smelling myself LOL. It was just when I was giving my first kisses and this fragrance marked every stage of that era… through my own ignorance and innocence, I would spray five times after body wash and the matching lotion, imagine that, I had no control. IT SMELLED FOR DAYS, literally 3-4 days non-stop LOLITA LEMPICKA. A sillage that crossed borders hahaha. The truth is, I’m sure it could have lasted longer, but I never went without it for so long until… it ran out :c I missed it, I regretted it, but I didn’t attach importance to it because I thought it would still be there to buy later. My distractions passed, high school, my first love, my second, etc., teenage things, but… it never came back. It’s no longer produced T_T at least not the same one; I’m content with the replica sold in Mexico in European perfumeries, it’s so delicious without ending up as creamy as the original, but well, from that to nothing. I’ll always miss my Lolita Lempicka… or my teenage self? It’s almost the same, we mimicked each other hahaha♥ :c If anyone knows where to get the original, LET ME KNOW T_T I didn’t even keep the bottle after it was empty in its box for a few years. lol hahaha (Meanwhile I’m content with the vanilla body splash from the chemist :c sad. hahaha)
I tried it when it launched; the decant is gorgeous, a beautiful apple. However, since I bought the bottle it was a shock. I’m not sure if it’s the vanilla and praline blend, but no matter what I do, I can’t wear it. I gifted it to my mother, who tolerates it, but it simply doesn’t suit my chemistry. It irritated my skin.
One of my favourites. I owned it years ago and was thoroughly delighted.
I’m not convinced. There was so much hype but it just didn’t work for me. It has that sweet freshness I adore in Lolita Lempicka, but the spicy notes smell of an older lady and don’t quite fit. I can’t tell if it’s the anise with ivy or the licorice, but they make it a very strange fragrance, not in a good way. I suspect the ivy is the culprit. The flanker Le Parfum has anise and I love it; it feels more youthful and fun, whereas the original evokes someone older. The opening is rich, sweet and fresh as usual for the brand, with a delicate powdery touch; unfortunately, I didn’t like it and the longevity on skin was poor too. I’ve worn it for three hours and the sillage has dropped significantly 🙁
I own the original version and it instantly transports me back to university days, as I used to wear an inspiration I didn’t realise was L. Lempicka. It’s a love-hate relationship due to the heavy licorice, anise and violet; I wouldn’t call it a pure gourmand because the powdery iris and violet give it a lasting floral touch. The longevity is top-notch, lasting around eight hours on skin and on clothes until washed. It’s rich, very feminine and mysterious. I wouldn’t recommend it if you don’t like powdery perfumes. You can detect the cherry and sweets, but what really strikes me are those powdery licorice notes.
My favourite of this bloody life… the current version leaves me wanting; I miss the notes of the original and at this stage I think we have to accept we’ll never have it again 😔 and it’s a shame. This perfume is unmatched. One thing: Cyzone’s Dancing Night reminds us of Lolita’s style, but nothing will ever be the same.
Years ago I had this fragrance and I simply adored wearing it.
I didn’t know it before its reformulation. I must say it’s a scent that generates nothing in me; I was desperate to try it because of the reviews, but the truth is it didn’t convince me.
I had it perhaps twenty years ago and saw it in Ross today; I didn’t hesitate to buy it. It’s so delicious and brings back so many memories.
Another one where I let myself be swept away because it was so sought-after, but I couldn’t handle it. Very sweet; the spice and cherry combination harasses you and becomes unbearable unless you wear it in very cold weather and at night.
I love sweet perfumes, but I can’t stand this one; it’s too much for my nose. It doesn’t smell bad, it smells good, but it’s not for everyday wear; a little goes a long way. It smells delicious on my mum, but on me, it’s overpowering.
This perfume was ahead of its time. An extremely sweet scent in a decade dominated by florals. ‘A Lolita le pica’… that’s how I used to say it, haha. It’s intense; licorice is the star alongside cherry. The opening is a sweet bomb, very intrusive; I remember giving it to my mum to test for Christmas and it gave her an allergy (her wrist turned red and we had to fetch a wipe). The opening is powerful; you can’t identify the components because they appear in a terrifying mix of anise, vanilla, chocolate, cherry, and tonka bean, all in equal proportion and intensity. Then it settles on the skin, beginning the sweet licorice phase, the ivy (you can feel the green, the house’s symbol), and the violet, which is more bearable. It finishes with a strong trail but slightly choked by musk and woods. It’s not for everyone, and despite the reformulations, it remains invasive. Highly recommended to test before buying.
What a marvel. What more can be said about Lolita Lempicka that hasn’t already been said? Late nineties, trapped in a mauve strip. An iconic, gothic, mysterious aura that perhaps surprises less today but then made a real difference. I love its enveloping, violet, and coquettish quality: although I don’t see it as my own, it’s ideal as a signature scent for someone else. It’s not for the elderly or the young, nor the epitome of elegance, yet it possesses an atypical refinement with a sweet, discreet dry-down. The blend is fully integrated; the scent is rounded, warm, and aniseed, winter-like and challenging without distinct phases. Skin performance is acceptable. A delightful indulgence.
My memories of this perfume date back to 2007, when a university classmate used it (if you’re reading this, D., I miss you). I suppose it lit the fuse on my journey into perfumery, although I didn’t buy my first fragrance for years. LL is a charming scent that I always remembered with affection. To my nose, it presented as a mix of cherry and anise, with a musky dry-down that is pure delight. A classic that went through several flankers and reformulations. I suppose I’ll never smell the original again, although that’s usual and one must learn to live with it. Frankly, I don’t know what licorice smells like, which many commenters say is the protagonist, but I find it wonderful. A lovely memory, and the bottle is beautiful too.
What really strikes me is that sweet yet tart cherry note; it lasts for days on clothes and the scent drifts by in waves. People always ask what I’m wearing or compliment it, and although it’s sweet, it completely drowns out any other perfume. It’s not tiring at all—I simply adore it.
This was the first strong perfume I owned, I loved how sweet it was, with so much character, but when I remember it I feel nauseous and now I know why: it’s the pepper and the anise. And the blend with the violet does its bit too. I think I get stuck on the opening sometimes, because truly the dry-down in cherry and praline is wonderful. I wouldn’t get the original again because it’s very expensive and the bottle is ugly haha, but I found a good dupe, I tried it a couple of years ago and I got the same dizzy feeling haha, but anyway, it’s a perfume with lots of personality, a unique scent and that’s appreciated amidst so many generic perfumes 💜
One of my top 5 favourites in the world has a unique and irrepetible combination of notes, I love it. I have two reserve bottles with the corked cap; now that they’ve reformulated them, they only come with the other cap.
Definitely it’s a strong, sweet and slightly acidic perfume. With that beautiful bottle I would have imagined any scent but not this one; I couldn’t get past it.
Definitely they shouldn’t have reformulated it! I feel it lost so much magic… despite being potent, it was my signature party perfume 13 years ago, when I was 20… its opening was super strong and a bit spicy, I suppose due to the ivy and anise notes, it almost made my friends dizzy in the first few minutes 🤭. The evolution in the heart notes was noticeable: the sweetness of licorice, the cherry and iris notes… it was magical! Moreover, the next day while my friends smelled of cigarettes, hangovers and bad decisions, I still smelled like my Lolita Lempicka. Its base notes were a perfect blend of vanilla, praline and tonka bean, plus there was still a trace of its cherry note… 😉
If you like this version and find it hard to get, there’s a catalogue perfume that’s 90% identical. The longevity is where it loses that 10%. It’s called Cyzone Dancing Night. Very, very similar.
It’s exactly the same as Cyzone’s Dancing Night. A total letdown when I smelled it and remembered it was the same fragrance I had bought for years during my teens.
Oh, maybe I’m going mad or I don’t know, but it seems to me a totally gothic essence in all its glory. While from the bottle it smells quite like a magical forest or elves and nymphs, the trail on the skin smells too powdery and you can smell the floral notes; moreover, on the hair it smells quite like a damp place with mould or water with earth, but despite this, for me it’s completely enjoyable. I’ve been searching for a long time for a perfume with such uncommon scents and I’m happy to have found it. Lolita Lempicka has become my signature scent.
Totally agree with the previous reviewer: it has an earthy, even woody base, but at the same time it’s very sweet and slightly spicy. Definitely something a fairy from a dark forest would wear. I didn’t usually like it much, but my mum and my grandmother used it for years, so I repurchased it out of nostalgia and now I find it quite charming and different from what’s on the market. It reminds me of Cyzone’s Dancing Night, it has the same idea… but I find it more youthful, more linear, and instead of earthy, it feels powdery to me. That said, I don’t think it’s bad; it’s fine for the niche it targets.
This was the perfume that opened the doors to the world of fragrance for me. I adore it. Lolita Lempicka is like a fairy tale in a bottle. Imagine a magical, slightly dark forest, full of anise, violets and ivy. Then the scent is sweetened with notes of licorice, cherry and praline, giving it a gourmand yet mysterious air. Ideal for autumn and winter. Perfect for a romantic night or a special occasion, but it can also be your signature scent if you like things different. It’s for a dreamy, mysterious woman who wants to evoke fantasy.
The best.
It’s pure magic, very original and multi-faceted; the anise is very noticeable. It’s sweet yet sober, luminous and at the same time shadowy – I loved it!
It tastes of caramelised apple as violet as it feels; Lolita Lempicka perfumes carry the magic of smelling so sweet and feeling happy.
I’d love to like it. The only thing I can smell is an overpowering anise, and after several hours, a vanilla even with the anise still present. I like the idea and the advert, but anise has never been my thing, so I can’t stand this perfume. I’ve heard it from a distance on others and they’ve liked it more. Perhaps my body chemistry or my nose just don’t go for it. At Mercadona there’s a dupe, I can’t recall the name, but the bottle is a deep red. On the dupe the anise is much less prominent and the cherry comes through more; that would be what I’d buy if I could use it.
Today, 8 November 2025, I left the Renata shop with a smile too big for my face! I arrived smelling about fifty alternatives and the first one to steal my heart was Limansite. I tried and tried, but none clicked until, at payment, I saw some mysterious bottles. The saleswoman told me they were scents of places on the planet, complex and too intricate for the counter. Naturally I wanted to smell them! I discovered them one by one and suddenly Lolita shot straight to my soul. With irony I asked if it was categorised as feminine. She laughed and I told her it didn’t matter; it would be my second lady perfume (the first was Nova, but that’s another story). That’s how I took home this delicious, captivating and magical fragrance. I’ll tell you how it goes and how many compliments I receive this man with a woman’s scent.
Like with La Petite Robe Noire, although I don’t dislike smelling it on others (it was a cousin’s perfume for years), it feels too astringent (dry, if that makes sense) for my taste. If you like LPRN, like my mother, you’ll probably like this too, even for layering, as they follow the same line.
If you like sweet perfumes that are noticeable from metres away, this is yours. My mother adored it; I didn’t, it gave me a headache. It’s a love-it-or-hate-it perfume, very feminine and with presence, but you need a lot of confidence to wear it. It smells of vanilla, anise and a touch of cherry, very enveloping and I’d say suffocating. It’s not for enclosed spaces unless you want people to hate you. Longevity is excellent and the trail is no less so.
It smells like winter 2005, I love it.
For the first ten minutes it smells of ivy and has a masculine edge; then a hint of anise and licorice emerges with a soft floral base. Everything is very balanced, with no single note dominating. I don’t find it gourmand or fruity. Did I expect something else? Yes, judging by the reviews. Would I repurchase? No, it hasn’t delighted or captivated me. About seven years ago I bought a dupe that smelled richer and sweeter than the original. Sometimes copies win. It’s not a bad perfume, but it just didn’t reach me. I tested it several times in-store and it simply wasn’t for me.
One of my first loves. I used it as a teenager alongside Bambú and Halloween, but this Lolita Lempicka smells a touch more refined, as one might say, like the mid-2000s.
I was surprised after using it a few times. I bought it solely because the bottle looked beautiful, without knowing the brand or the fragrance. I realised it lasted an eternity on my clothes, even after washing, and I could still smell it after a shower. When I finished it I wanted to restock, but only found the reformulation. I was disappointed, although the scent was very similar; longevity on clothes dropped to about five hours and on skin to three or four. I bought the original version on eBay and was disappointed again: I think it was heavily oxidised and the scent and longevity were nothing like the first time. I’ll be left with just the memory of that sweet, arrogant, seductive and mysterious scent.
