Elle L'aime A La Folie

Elle L'aime A La Folie by Lolita Lempicka, released in 2014, is a bright citrus floral with a warm, resinous base. Everyone who describes it calls it floral and citrusy; about half also find it woody, resinous or ambery.

Seven notes are listed, without a pyramid. Bergamot and mandarin open sunny and sparkling. The heart pairs jasmine with ylang-ylang, two white flowers that together smell creamy, slightly banana-like and full. Beneath them, sandalwood gives a smooth, milky woodiness, amber a warm sweetness, and myrrh a dry, slightly bitter resin that keeps the finish from becoming too soft.

This is a feminine fragrance from the French house. The sunny citrus and white flowers suit daytime and warm weather, while the amber and myrrh give it enough depth for an evening. It fits someone who enjoys a classic floral with a bit of warmth underneath rather than a sheer one. It is offered in an 85 ml bottle.
