by Lolita Lempicka
Lolita Lempicka Mon Premier Parfum presents a whimsical, sweetly spiced fragrance centered around cherry, licorice, and violet notes, evoking the atmosphere of a mystical forest. The opening is sharply green and medicinal with prominent anise and licorice, followed by a tart cherry that persists without turning cloying. Over time, the scent evolves into a powdery, vanilla-tinged gourmand with subtle earthy vetiver, creating a unique interplay between sweet and mineral freshness. A few users find the dry down deeply satisfying and ethereal, likening it to a fairy's enchanted forest, while others note its keenly personal character, with some perceiving a clean, soapy or even nostalgic synthetic quality. Longevity is modest on skin, most reporting 3 to 4 hours—though it can last up to 8 hours on clothing—and sillage is moderate to intimate, making it ideal for close-range wear. Despite being seen by some as a weaker or altered version of the original, the fragrance stands on its own as a distinct and memorable scent, especially admired for its balance of sweetness and green spice.
