Lempicka Homme
by Lolita Lempicka
Lempicka Homme presents a soft, sweet, and aromatic gourmand profile with prominent anise, licorice, and vanilla notes, accented by subtle floral and woody elements. It leans heavily on almond, rose water, and rum in the heart, creating a warm, rounded, and creamy sensibility that evokes licorice candy, baked pastries, and a faint herbal freshness. The fragrance is notably light and leans toward a soft, powdery texture, with a linear progression that lacks significant evolution or depth. It performs best on cooler days, aligning with autumn and winter wear, and feels most harmonious when worn casually, though some users cite its strong sweet profile as overwhelming or cloying. Despite its generally favorable reception and value pricing, the longevity is consistently weak—most reports place it at 3–5 hours—while projection and sillage remain moderate to light, often fading quickly to a skin-scent of vanilla and musk. The scent carries a gentle unisex aura, though it skews slightly masculine without being aggressive, and the application feels airy and effortless, making it suitable for layering or daily wear.
Pros
- +One of the most tightly balanced and wearable gourmands with a smooth, airy sweetness that rarely feels cloying or overwhelming
- +A strong, distinctive anise licorice profile that is present and well-rounded, not synthetic or exaggerated
- +Exceptionally good value at its price point, particularly for those seeking an affordable, niche-like perfumery experience
Cons
- −Poor longevity—most users report 3–5 hours, with many noting it fades rapidly even after the initial spray
- −Weak projection and sillage, making it feel understated and more suited to close proximity or intimate settings
- −The fragrance lacks development, feeling overly linear and static, with minimal evolution beyond the base layers
