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.
