Lolita Lempicka Le Parfum 2023

Lolita Lempicka Le Parfum 2023 is a sweet, liquorice-laced gourmand from the French house Lolita Lempicka, composed by Annick Menardo and released in Parfum concentration in 2023. Nearly everyone who describes it reaches for the word gourmand; about half also find it floral, with spice, wood and musk sitting further back.

The sweetness comes from cherry, praline and vanilla, but anise and liquorice give it a dark, slightly bitter edge that stops it becoming a simple dessert. Violet and iris add a cool, powdery, almost cosmetic touch, while patchouli, tonka bean and musk lend depth and warmth and keep the whole thing anchored to the skin.

This is a rich, enveloping scent rather than a light one, and its character suits cooler weather and evenings better than a hot afternoon. It is marketed as feminine and will appeal most to anyone who likes their sweet fragrances with a shadowy, aniseed twist.
