  It’s the twin of Lolita Masculin by Lempicka but with much better longevity, probably thanks to that peculiar oud note that makes it fantastic. You can still detect the licorice; it’s creamier and less sweet, leaving a trail for hours. In dry-down, it reminds me of the original but darker, without being aggressive, totally unisex. The bottle is gorgeous; it’s a limited edition with only two boxes in the perfumerie, I snapped one up. If you see it, buy it without hesitation.

  I have both this edition and Au Masculin. This one beats the original: it retains the anise and licorice, but with agarwood (oud), it feels darker and more elegant, ideal for evenings. I’ve worn it for over 12 hours and it’s still close to the skin; it lasts much longer on clothes and has a better trail than its brother. The ivy adds its touch and gives it more punch. For me, it’s a 9.5/10. Since it’s a limited edition, the price rises as stock runs out.

  I own both this edition and Au Masculin, and this one surpasses the original: it keeps the anise and licorice, but with agarwood (oud), it feels darker and more elegant, perfect for nights. I’ve worn it for over 12 hours and it’s still noticeable on my skin; it lasts way longer on clothes and has a better trail than its sibling. The ivy gives it an extra boost. For me, it’s a 9.5/10. Since it’s a limited edition, the price goes up as stock runs out.

  A hyper-realistic licorice scent that screams Lolita Lempicka DNA, with no anise or myrrh; everything revolves around that intense sweetness reminiscent of classic menthol candies. At first, it’s suffocating, but as the licorice settles, a woody phase emerges with a subtle anise touch that I love. Maybe it diverges slightly from the original, but it’s instantly recognizable. It’s marketed as ‘formal or evening,’ but for me, it’s just as wearable as Au Masculine, with all its pros and cons. Lasts about 6 hours moderately and 8-10 hours close to the skin. At first, it smells too strong and overwhelming, but over time, it becomes much more pleasant.
