by Lolita Lempicka
Green Lover by Lolita Lempicka is a pleasantly unisex gourmand fragrance with a dominant vanilla base, balanced by bright citrus, mint, and a subtly boozy gin and juniper heart. While the name suggests greenness, the 'green' note is more green-tinged mint and herbal freshness rather than earthy foliage. The fragrance opens with a crisp, zesty burst of green mandarin and pepper, quickly giving way to a creamy, sweet vanilla collation highlighted by a clean gin and tonic aroma and a soft, pleasant mint. It evolves into a fresh, airy, and subtly sweet vanilla musk with moderate projection that clings to the skin and clothing, often lasting beyond 12 hours. Despite its gourmand identity, it avoids being cloying or overly sweet, maintaining a light, refreshing character that feels both youthful and modern. Comparable to a minty orange creamsicle with a hint of crushed mint and licorice, it’s particularly suited for daytime wear in spring and summer, offering a relaxed, wearable scent ideal for casual or garden settings. Its performance is above average for an EDT, with longevity that exceeds expectations, though sillage remains moderate. The fragrance contains vegan and eco-conscious materials, which some users appreciate. Overall, it's an inviting, modern, and harmoniously blended fragrance that excels in ephemeral, fresh-scented gourmands, though it may disappoint those seeking a stronger green or masculine profile.
