Lolita Lempicka Le Parfum 2021
by Lolita Lempicka
Lolita Lempicka Le Parfum 2021 is a sweet, powdery, and ethereal fragrance with dominant notes of cherry, anise, licorice, and violet. It opens with a bold, juicy burst of cherry and anise, which quickly softens into a delicate, floral-cherry backbone layered over licorice and violet. The base reveals a warm, creamy musk-tonka foundation that feels soft and comforting, with a subtle nostalgic quality. It has strong witchy, fairy-tale, and autumnal vibes — best worn for evening or cool weather. The scent projects moderately with a close-to-skin presence and is described as light and ethereal. Performance is moderate to short, lasting up to four hours on most skin types, with some noting the aroma fades quickly despite its warm and cozy feel. The fragrance strikes a balance between gourmand sweetness and a hint of medicinal spiciness, giving it a uniquely sweet-and-cozy mood, something that lingers like a memory of vintage escence — reminiscent of American Horror Story witches or candy-sweet vintage perfumes.
Pros

- +Effortlessly wearable in cool weather, particularly for autumn and winter.
- +Delivers a magical, ethereal, witchy mood with a soft, powdery, sweet floral identity.

Cons
- −Fragrance longevity is short on most skin types, often lasting under four hours.
