Lolita Lempicka Original is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Annick Menardo. Original opens with Anise and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Iris, Tonka Bean, and Licorice, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Praline. Lolita Lempicka's Original carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a divisive trip down memory lane. For some, it's a cherished return to a whimsical fairy tale, a magical hug of sweet licorice and vanilla. For others, it's a weak imitation that can't hold a candle to its legendary predecessor, a watered-down disappointment that fails to capture the original's unique charm.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its sweet and spicy gourmand nature makes it better suited for casual and date settings, where its soft sillage can be appreciated up close. It's too unique and potentially polarising for formal events, and its gentle projection might not hold up in an office environment.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a sharp, intriguing hint of anise and a bright fizz of bergamot, quickly softening into a powdery heart of iris and the distinct, slightly bitter-sweet twist of licorice. As it dries down, a warm, creamy embrace emerges, thanks to tonka bean, praline, and vanilla, all grounded by a subtle earthy patchouli and soft musk. It's a whimsical, gourmand blend with a unique spicy edge.
