Marc Jacobs Oh, Lola! 50ml RRP £38
Firstly, I really must say,
oh-my-word-what-a-beautiful-bottle! To be honest, I wouldn’t really mind what
this eau de parfum smells like, with such a pretty bottle I’d probably buy it
anyway! Launched in summer 2011, Oh,
Lola! is described as ‘lively,
playful, irresistible, stylish and cheerful’, which is quite a lot to ask of a
fragrance, but as far as I‘m concerned it pulls it off with a certain amount of
panache. The fragrance, signed by Ann Gottlieb, is a fresh and fruity blend, with floral notes of peony and a rich
background of vanilla and sandalwood. Marketed as the younger sister of Marc
Jacobs original scent Lola, there was
always the possibility that Oh Lola!
would turn out to be a paler imitation of the genuine article, but with the
muting of the heavier floral base notes and the lifting of the fruity, this fragrance
has an identity all of its own: light, fresh and a little bit flirty. The
perfect scent for the young, and the young at heart.
