Wonderful Winter Scent - Lolita Lempicka Lolita Lempicka

Lolita Lempicka Lolita Lempicka 50ml RRP £24




Ok, so this isn’t a new one; Lolita Lempicka launched her eponymous scent in 1997, but we’ve recently rediscovered old Lolita here at The Detour and thought it might be worth a mention, the heady fusion of sweetly woody spice feels somehow right for the cooler seasons – it’s something of a mulled wine of the perfume world! To begin with it’s a little bit much; the first notes are nose-tinglingly sharp, but the sour liquorice and anise quickly mellow to a beautifully balanced musky praline-infused bouquet with grassy vetiver and tobacco notes. Lolita, can I compare thee to a summer’s day? No, you’re more of a mulchy woodland in autumn, but you’re dainty with it, redolent of delicate wisps of wood smoke and spider webs jewelled with frost. And all wrapped up in a gorgeous pale lilac apple.
·         Top notes: Ivy Leaves, Liquorice Flower, Anise seed, Cherry
