Marc Jacobs Lola is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Yann Vasnier and Calice Becker. Lola opens with Grapefruit, Pink Pepper, and Pear, settles into a heart of Rose, Geranium, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Marc Jacobs's Lola carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Lola is a polarizing 'love it or hate it' scent that takes you on a wild ride: a nostalgic, dark rose explosion with a peppery kick that some adore and others find utterly unwearable. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

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 Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Lola's strong sillage and very long-lasting performance make it less suitable for office wear, but excellent for drawing attention on a date or at a formal event. Its unique, bold rose character also lends itself well to casual evening wear.

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

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • 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

Unwrap Lola and you're hit with a vibrant, sparkling pear and grapefruit opening, quickly followed by a sharp pink pepper blast. The heart blooms into a rich, deep rose and peony blend, often described as 'jammy' or 'dusty velvet'. As it dries down, a comforting vanilla, tonka, and musky warmth emerges, settling into a slightly powdery, sweet finish.
