Unique scent, it’s like being in a fairy tale.
The first time I smelled this perfume, over 10 years ago, I absolutely didn’t like it. But now that I received a sample, I’ve given it another chance. I know many talk about quality dropping and changing so much in aroma and performance, but I’m here to share my impressions of the current version (2022) in perfumeries. The scent is undoubtedly complex and hard to describe, where I fundamentally perceive a star anise bomb in the opening, drying down to a softer, more subdued cherry licorice that is powdery and sweet. If it’s true that it lost power, the original must have been a bomb, because this one lasts on my skin for more than 8 hours with moderate/high projection for the first 2-3 hours. A unique, iconic perfume, one easily recognizable with eyes closed. However, I think 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.
I met it by chance, which is how intense and stormy romances usually begin. I was looking for fresh gourmand fragrances, and while passing by the shelf, on a whim, I grabbed a sample and sprayed it in a free spot on my arm, a bit secretly from the sales associate, thinking she’d look at me strangely for trying something so different from what I’d asked for. It was a playful gesture, as Lolita Lempicka never interested me before; I imagined a brand with very sweet and heavy scents. So I brought my nose close, and… my hair stood on end, I don’t know, but my eyes opened wide. What an opening, 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 turned powdery and became more and more delicious, and deep down, I had already chosen it over the other testers. I told myself “for sure the final phase is bad”, but that didn’t happen; by the time the base notes arrived, I had already sworn eternal love. And I bought it. The sales associate did look at me strangely, as it was an unexpected choice, but fate decided we weren’t meant to be together and by mistake sold me another LL line, a different fragrance. To this day, that pleasure of smelling Lolita Lempicka remains in my memory. Extremely powdery but without being vulgar or having an “old lady” vibe; on the contrary, it seemed like 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 equal with another fragrance (please forgive the others), and I’ve tried many since then. It’s on my plan to acquire it someday, but it’s hard to find in my country’s perfumeries. Yes, a tragic love. And to make this stop sounding like a novel and more like a review, I’ll say the longevity is very good, about 5 hours maintaining the scent quality. 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 gallery visit, or a cocktail; but I would have worn it all the time without shame. Someday, someday, we’ll be together, I declare, I decree.
One of the very few perfumes to get an unconditional yes back in 2010. Back then it wasn’t super mainstream; it’s still wonderful but very difficult to wear since you can smell it a kilometer away… the nice thing is that it’s loved by so many people. Everyone asked me about it. A very pleasant aroma.
I simply adore it. It was made for me, and that’s how I live it. I was 13-15 when my mom accidentally gave it to me; 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 you can’t stop smelling yourself LOL. It was right when I started my first kisses, and this fragrance marked every stage of that era… due to my own ignorance and innocence, I’d spray five times after body wash and 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. Honestly, I’m sure it could have lasted longer, but I never went so long without using it until… it ran out :c I missed it, I regretted it, but I didn’t care much because I thought it would still be there to buy later. My teenage distractions passed, high school, my first love, my second, etc., but… it never came back. They no longer produce it T_T at least not the same one; I settle for the dupe sold in Mexico at European perfumeries, it’s so delicious without ending up as creamy as the original, but still, from that to nothing. I’ll always miss my Lolita Lempicka… or maybe my teenage self? It’s almost the same, we blended in hahaha♥ :c If anyone knows where to get the original, TELL ME T_T I didn’t even keep the bottle after it ran out, sitting in its box for years. lol hahaha (In the meantime, I settle for the vanilla body splash from the drugstore :c sad. hahaha)
This perfume evokes the white witch from some fairy tale. With character but not dark. Sweet, mysterious, quite medicinal… magical. Undoubtedly an enchanting potion. 🖤
I tried it when it first launched; the decant was gorgeous, a beautiful apple scent. But since I bought the bottle, it was a shock. I don’t know if it’s the vanilla and praline blend, but no matter what I tried, it just didn’t work. I ended up gifting it to my mother, who tolerates it fine, but it didn’t suit my chemistry at all—it irritated my skin.
One of my favorites. I had it years ago and was absolutely enchanted.
I’m not convinced. There was so much hype, but it just didn’t work for me. It has that sweet freshness I love in Lolita Lempicka, but the spicy notes smell old-lady-ish and don’t quite fit. I can’t tell if it’s the anise with ivy or the licorice, but they make it a weird fragrance, not in a good way. I suspect the ivy is the problem. 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 like all the brand’s scents, 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 dropped significantly 🙁
I have the original version, and it brings back memories of college because back then I used an inspiration I didn’t even realize 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 floral touch that lingers. The longevity is top-notch, lasting about 8 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 taste the cherry and sweets, but what really gets me are those powdery licorice notes.
My favorite from this damn life… the current version falls flat for me. I miss the notes from the original, and at this point, I guess we’ll never have it back again 😔 and that sucks. This perfume is unmatched. One thing: Cyzone’s Dancing Night reminds me of Lolita’s style, but nothing will ever be the same.
I owned this fragrance years ago and absolutely loved wearing it.
I hadn’t tried it before the reformulation. I have to say, it’s a scent that doesn’t do anything for me. I was dying to try it based on the reviews, but honestly, it just didn’t convince me.
I had this maybe 20 years ago and saw it at Ross today; I didn’t hesitate to buy it. It’s so delicious and brings back so many memories.
Another one I fell for because it was so popular, but I couldn’t make it work. Very sweet, the spice and cherry combo gets annoying and unbearable unless you wear it in freezing cold 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 mom, but on me, it’s overpowering.
My memories of this perfume date back to 2007, when a college classmate used it (if you’re reading this, D., I miss you). I suppose it sparked my journey into perfumery, even though I didn’t buy my first fragrance for years. LL is a charming scent that I always remembered with fondness. To my nose, it came across as a blend of cherry and anise, with a musky dry-down that is absolutely delightful. A classic that went through several flankers and reformulations. I suppose I’ll never smell the original again, but that’s usual, and you just have to learn to live with it. Honestly, I don’t know what licorice smells like—despite many comments saying it’s the star—but I find it wonderful. A lovely memory, and the bottle is gorgeous too.
This perfume was ahead of its time. An extremely sweet scent in a decade dominated by florals. ‘A Lolita le pica’… that’s what they called it, haha. It’s intense; licorice takes center stage alongside cherry. The opening is a sweet bomb, very intrusive—I remember giving it to my mom to test for Christmas, and it gave her an allergic reaction (her wrist turned red, and we had to grab a wipe). The opening is powerful; you can’t identify the individual components because they all hit with terrifying intensity: anise, vanilla, chocolate, cherry, tonka bean, all in the same proportion and strength. Then it settles on the skin, starting the sweet licorice phase, the ivy (you can feel the green, the house’s signature), and the violet, which is more wearable. It finishes with a strong trail, though slightly muddied 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? Full late nineties, trapped in a violet band. An iconic, gothic, mysterious aura that might surprise less today but then made a real difference. I love its enveloping, violet, and coquettish quality: even though I don’t see it as my own, it’s perfect as a signature scent for someone else. It’s not for the very young or old, nor the epitome of elegance, but it has an atypical refinement with a sweet, discreet dry-down. The blend is fully integrated, the scent is round, warm, and anise-like, winter-ready and challenging without shifting phases. Skin performance is acceptable. A charming little indulgence.
What really hits 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 while it’s sweet, it completely drowns out any other perfume. It’s not overwhelming—I absolutely love it.
One of my top 5 perfumes in the world has a unique and irreplicable combination of notes; I love it. I have two vintage backups with the original cap; now that they’ve reformulated, they only come with the new cap.
This was my first strong perfume. I loved how sweet and full of character it was, but when I remember it now, I feel nauseous, and I know why: it’s the pepper and anise. The mix with violet does its thing too. I think I stick with the opening sometimes because the dry-down into cherry and praline is truly marvelous. I wouldn’t buy the original again because it’s too expensive and the bottle is ugly, lol. But I found a good dupe, tried it a couple of years ago, and I got the same dizzy feeling, lol. Still, it’s a perfume with a lot of personality, a unique scent, and that’s something to appreciate amidst so many generic options 💜
Definitely a strong, sweet, and slightly sour scent. With such a beautiful bottle, I imagined any aroma except this one, and honestly, I couldn’t handle it.
They definitely shouldn’t have reformulated it! I feel like they lost so much magic… Even though it’s potent, it was my go-to party perfume for 13 years when I was 20. The opening was super strong and a bit spicy, probably due to the ivy and anise notes; it almost made my friends dizzy in the first few minutes 🤭. You could really feel the heart notes evolving: the sweet licorice, cherry, and iris… it was magical! Plus, the next day while my friends smelled like cigarettes, hangovers, and bad decisions, I still smelled like my Lolita Lempicka. The base notes were a perfect blend of vanilla, praline, and tonka bean, and there was still a hint of that cherry note… 😉
If you love this version but can’t find it, there’s a catalog perfume that’s 90% identical. It just lacks a bit of longevity. It’s called Dancing Night by Cyzone. They’re super similar.
It’s exactly the same as Cyzone’s Dancing Night. A total letdown when I smelled it and realized it was the same fragrance I’d bought for years during my teenage years.
Hey, maybe I’m crazy or I don’t know, but this seems to me to be a totally gothic essence in all its glory. While it smells quite like a magical forest or elves and nymphs from the bottle, the trail on the skin smells too powdery and you can detect floral notes; additionally, on hair it smells quite like a damp place with mold or water with earth. 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 review: 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 mom and grandma 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 this one more youthful, more linear, and instead of earthy, it feels powdery to me. That said, it doesn’t seem bad; it’s well-suited for the niche it targets.
This was the perfume that opened the doors to the world of fragrance for me. I absolutely adore it. Lolita Lempicka is like a fairy tale in a bottle. Imagine a magical, slightly dark forest filled with anise, violets, and ivy. Then, the scent is sweetened with notes of licorice, cherry, and praline, giving it a gourmand yet mysterious vibe. Perfect for autumn and winter. Ideal for a romantic night or a special occasion, but it can also be your signature scent if you love something different. It’s for a dreamy, mysterious woman who wants to evoke fantasy.
The best.
It’s pure magic, very original with so many facets; the anise is extremely noticeable. It’s sweet yet sober, luminous and at the same time shadowy—I loved it!
It tastes like caramelized apple, as violet as it feels; Lolita Lempicka perfumes carry the magic of smelling so sweet and feeling happy.
Today, November 8, 2025, I left the Renata store with a smile that wouldn’t fit on 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 checkout, I saw some mysterious bottles. The saleswoman told me they were scents of places on the planet, complex and too big for the counter. Naturally, I wanted to smell them! One by one, I discovered them, and suddenly, Lolita hit me straight in the soul. With irony, I asked if it was categorized as feminine. She laughed and I told her it didn’t matter to me; it would be my second women’s perfume (the first was Nova, but that’s another story). That’s how I brought home this delicious, captivating, and magical fragrance. I’ll tell you how it goes and how many compliments I get walking around smelling like a woman.
I’d love to like it. The only thing I can smell is an intense anise, and after several hours, a vanilla even with the anise still present. I like the idea and the ad, but anise has never been my thing, so I can’t stand this perfume. I’ve smelled it on others from afar and they liked it more. Maybe my body chemistry or my nose just don’t go with it. Mercadona has a dupe, I don’t remember the name, but the bottle is a deep red. On the dupe, the anise is much less prominent and you notice more of the cherry; that would be what I’d buy if I could use it.
If you like sweet perfumes that are noticeable from meters away, this is yours. My mom loved 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 bit of cherry, very enveloping and I’d say suffocating. Not for enclosed spaces unless you want people to hate you. Excellent longevity and its trail is no joke.
Like with La Petite Robe Noire, although I don’t mind 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 mom, you’ll probably like this one too, even for layering, since they follow the same line.
It smells like winter 2005, I love it.
One of my first loves. I used to wear it as a teenager with Bambou and Halloween, but this Lolita Lempicka feels a bit more refined, like something from the mid-2000s.
The first ten minutes smell of ivy and feel masculine; 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 get any gourmand or fruity vibes. Was I expecting something else? Yes, based on the reviews. Would I repurchase? No, it didn’t delight or captivate 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 work for me. I tested it multiple times in-store and decided it wasn’t for me.
I was surprised after wearing it a few times. I bought it just because the bottle looked beautiful, without knowing the brand or the fragrance. I realized it lasted forever on my clothes, even after washing, and I could still smell it after a shower. When I finished it, I wanted to repurchase, but only found the reformulation. I was disappointed, although the scent was very similar; the longevity on clothes dropped to about five hours and on skin to three or four. I bought the original version on eBay, but another disappointment: I think it was very oxidized, and the scent and longevity were nothing like the first time. I’ll just keep the memory of that sweet, arrogant, seductive, and mysterious scent.
