Is this fragrance suitable for the office or professional environments?+−
While it is categorized as a sweet gourmand, it is frequently worn for business occasions. However, because of the bold anise and praliné notes, it is best applied lightly in professional settings to ensure the sillage remains polite.
How does this compare to the "Sweet" flanker by the same brand?+−
This original Eau de Parfum is more complex and spicy due to the aniseed and ivy. The "Sweet" flanker focuses more heavily on a straightforward cherry-cocoa-lipstick accord and lacks the gothic, earthy powdery notes found here.
Is this a safe blind buy for someone who likes vanilla scents?+−
It is a polarizing fragrance because of the prominent aniseed and violet. If you only enjoy pure, sugary vanillas, the spicy and floral "purple" qualities of this scent might be surprising; it is better suited for those who appreciate offbeat, spicy gourmands.
Has the fragrance changed over the years?+−
The community often discusses the evolution of Lolita Lempicka since its original 1997 debut. This 2012 version maintains the core DNA of cherry, anise, and violet, though long-term fans occasionally debate subtle shifts in the depth of the ivy and musk notes compared to the earliest glass-stemmed bottles.
