Enthusiasts frequently compare this 2017 version to the "Original" formula, noting that while the signature DNA is intact, it feels slightly airier and more focused on the cherry and licorice aspects.
The performance is generally regarded as solid, with most users finding the longevity more than sufficient for a full day of wear, though it is not considered an overwhelming room-filler in terms of sillage.
It is viewed as a versatile "three-season" fragrance, with significant support for its use in fall, spring, and winter, though it is less frequently recommended for high summer heat.
While it is marketed for women, the spicy anise and herbal notes attract a dedicated following among people of all genders who appreciate dark, spicy gourmands.
The scent is most often recommended for casual leisure wear or evenings, though its unique character also makes it a popular choice for night-out occasions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 2017 version compare to the original Lolita Lempicka released in the nineties?+

This version retains the core identity of the original—specifically the aniseed, violet, and ivy-like greenness—but many find it to be a bit crisper and more modernized. The licorice and cherry notes are very prominent here, though some longtime fans note it feels slightly less "dense" than the vintage formulation.

Is this fragrance suitable for office wear?+

While it is most popular for leisure and evenings, it can be worn in a business setting if applied light-handedly. Its powdery violet and musk base keep it professional, though the spicy licorice top note is distinct and may be polarizing to some colleagues.

How long does the scent typically last on the skin?+

This Eau de Parfum is known for having good longevity, typically lasting through a standard workday. It clings well to clothing, where the vanilla and tonka bean base notes remain noticeable long after the fruity top notes have faded.

Does this smell like a typical sweet fruity perfume?+

Does this smell like a typical sweet fruity perfume?+

Not exactly. While it is classified as sweet and fruity, the heavy influence of aniseed and Glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice) gives it a spicy, herbal, and slightly medicinal edge that distinguishes it from the "sugar-bomb" fruity scents common on the market.

What is the best season to wear Lolita Lempicka?+

It is highly versatile but performs best in the transitional weather of spring and fall. The coolness of these seasons allows the spicy anise and sweet cherry to bloom without becoming cloyingly sweet, which can occasionally happen in extreme summer heat.

Is the cherry note very medicinal?+

The cherry note is tempered by the herbal qualities of aniseed and the powderiness of violet. Rather than smelling like cough syrup, it leans more toward a dark, macerated cherry or a gourmand cherry-almond accord typical of tonka bean fragrances.
