The first, eponymous, fragrance from Lolita Lempicka was created by Annick Menardo in 1997 with the focus on the licorice note. The perfume is discontinued in 2010 and re - launched and re-branded as Lolita Lempicka Le Premier Parfum.
It opens with notes of ivy leaf, pineapple, lemon, rosewood, sour cherry and anise. The heart features lily of the valley, rose, jasmine, licorice, violet and iris based on sweet almond, vanilla, heliotrope, tonka bean, musk, praline and vetiver.
The signature bottle in the shape of an apple is designed by Sylvie de France. The fragrance is available as Eau de Parfum (50 and 100 ml).

THis is pretty but more of the same LL, just another pretty name! lots of licorice and anis.I like it, but I dont wear the typical LL.They are more suited for young girls.This is a soft and tender licorice scent.
I just love this stuff. I also love black licorice, FYI. A friend of a friend's boyfriend (disclaimer) got very excited when I was wearing this the other night. Told me that I smelled great, smelled everyone at the tables' wrist and said I was the winner as far as best smelling and just made quite a production of this. Then he excitedly proclaimed that I smelled like a stripper. Yay, thanks! To him this really is the highest compliment as that is 95% of his female companionment but still. Men seem to like this as I really hardly ever get comments on fragrances other than from my husband after I thrust my wrist in his face. This is sweet, spicy, a bit green, and definitely gourmand but not overbearing. I actually wear a light spray at work, which is in a hospital doing direct patient care (although not nursing) and have never received a complaint. I feel like this is a crowd pleaser. I wish it lasted a bit longer, I usually get 3-4 hours, but it has good silage and just smells great so I will gladly reapply and repurchase.
I was 19 when I get it for the first time and if I had known at this time that this edition would have been discontinued, I would have kept the botte !
Now I have le 1er Parfum and it will always be in my collection. It set some of my favorite perfumes. Gourmand, sweet, mysterious...the bottle is wonderful...perfect !
I bought a bottle of this perfume after reading the reviews, as I'm a lover of licorice and aniseed.
But the perfume feels a bit too "tender" to me. It took me a while to feel comfortable enough to wear it.
All in all it is a pleasant and playful smell. I like to use it on occasion to add variety to the fragrances I wear.
And yes, it is difficult to figure out what bottle is supposed to be what perfume as they all look very much the same and there is no name either in the box or in the flask...
I'm not familiar with the other LL fragrances, as I only have this one, for the time being...
my opinion: lolita lempicka with all the different flankers edts, edps fleurs etc was very confusing so they have rebranded to make alittle easier to say yes thats it thats the first and original...smell seems identical to me. correct me if im wrong?
You can buy a 2.7 litre bottle of this... If I ever have a spare 2grand, I know where it's going!
I have been wearing this for a few months and whenever I wear it to work it lingers around me in a delicious little cloud. I once read a negative review saying it smelled like the licorice candy Good and Plenty....well I liked those as a kid!!! I enjoy everything about it and no one I know seems to dislike the smell so overally I am very content!!! One of my co-workers is now looking to buy it and I am kind of interested to see how it smells on her!
I bought this on eBay thinking that it was the more spicy Lolita but it wasn't, and im glad i did buy it because it smells like cherryade on me at first spray and for about 20 mins after that, then the dry down leaves me smelling like a sweet shop! Who wouldn't want that? The down-sides are that i don't smell any of the liquorice/anise notes and that it doesn't last long on my skin. Pretty good over-all, especially for a blind buy! :)
The sweetness in the top sticks in almonds note seems to be more a praline in a soft bed of watery anise floating in a could of powder...
I picked up a 1 oz. EDP at a local closeout store under $20.USD and find it identical to the original masterpiece. Nothing has changed, except the florals may be a little stronger. Thats fine with me. The bottle is now clear and just as beautiful as the original! A precious purple apple with gold ivy leaves wrapping around it.
Fruity, nutty gourmand notes mingle with liquorice cotton candy notes. Then come the romantic florals at its heart- VIOLET, rose, jasmine, iris and lily of the valley are all unaltered from Annick Menardo's original vision. Then comes the incomparable drydown-a nutty vanilla cream sunday-yummy!
Before the gourmand became popular (thanks to Angel), I only experienced this sensation from Guerlain. This was a magical moment for modern perfumery
Innocent, flirty and accesible to all ages, LL Premier Parfum is a wonder. Its whimsical and unisex as ever to my nose. It is often imitated and never matched!
I posted the following review on the original Lolita Lempicka fragrance, so I will post it here as well. Does anyone know if there is actually a difference between this and the original? The notes sound basically the same.
I've been searching for "my" perfume for a while now, and picked up the Lolita Lempicka tester on a whim. I'm so glad I did! This scent is sweet in a very different way than the celebrity fruity florals that are so ubiquitous. I don't know if I've ever smelled anything so complex and interesting! Sweet, yet woodsy. Sexy, yet whimsical. Youthful, yet sophisticated. This is not a scent for young girls. This is a scent for grown women who still remember pretending to be a fairy princess falling in love with a handsome prince.
I got a sample of this beautiful perfume. I can't compare this with the original Lolita Lempicka because I have never tried it. But this one is very versatile and deep scent. Unfortunately I'm not a fan of licorice. Because licorice is the note that Lolita Lempicka Le Premier Parfum is mostly about. What I like about it is the cherry note which is very distinctive in the top. But licorice is always playing the lead.
Lolita Lempicka Le Premier Parfum is mysterious and deep gourmand scent. It really is a masterpiece. Most suitable for night-time because it suits with the darkness.
unique and sexy!
I won't pretend to be able to compare this to the older one, but I did get a sample of this the other day and tried it--I love it!
It starts off a little harshly. I get the spices right away, but then it starts mellowing out. I actually hate the smell/taste of licorice in most cases, but in this I think it's pleasant. It's also a bit green at first. There's cherry in the beginning, but not too much. It's a bit of an unusual opening, but it made me want to smell more rather than scrub my arm clean.
After the initial spiciness, it's soft and sweet on me. I'm always a bit afraid to try "sweet" perfumes, but this one is subtle. It reminds me of marzipan, actually; the almond is very nice. It's different from anything I've smelled before.
Edit: The dry down on this is wonderful. Many perfumes are unnaturally or even sickeningly sweet on me, but this has melded with my skin. The result is a natural feeling and soft fragrance I love.
This is EXACTLY the same as the old one, I don't believe there has been a reformulation at all, just a rebranding. And it would be odd, to say the least, to call a brand new perfume "The First Fragrance".
I really really really really really really want this perfume!
I love its ingredients...
totally my age...
totally my type..
and we were both released at the same year 1997, were both 14!!!!!!
Its like a forest and nature adventure, added to femininity and warmth.
Gotta get this one!
hmm.. that's strange..
the top and middle notes seemed to have only slight differences from the old one while the base notes stay the same.
would it change the smell of this marvelous fragrance? I hope not. I love lolita lempicka le premier!
Nooooooooooooooo! I love the original - why do they have to fiddle with something that is so gorgeous - will have to comb the perfume shops and buy up old stock. However - I will try the new one to be fair. Will review it later.
