Wish Lollia for women

Stopped by Anthropologie today and tried this. Started out pretty strong and dried down quickly to a lovely warm scent with (to me) lots of coconut. My affinity for this scent may be because I grew up on the beach, but I love it and will definitely wear it in the summer - maybe not to work, but definitely late afternoons! Drydown remains warm and sweet. I like my scents to be somewhat private; you have to get up close and personal to experience my fragrance (usually), I would say this has a medium sillage. My son and my BF both gave it a thumbs up. : )

I accidentally dumped a bunch of this on my wrist, so I must say it is a strong sweet powdery vanilla odor. It's different than what I usually wear; it's a clean scent yet a warm one. I'm glad cinnamon is not overpowering here but lingering in the background. Longevity is good, about 4-5 hours (although that is due to the overkill dump-age). Perhaps if I tried with the correct, smaller amount on me, I could gauge a better idea on longevity.

edit: I tried this again with a lesser amount, and longevity was fair; probably 3-4 hours at most. By the end, it was veeeery faint.

Although I generally like the perfumic creations of Margot Elena, Lollia WISH is a glaring exception to the rule. To my nose, this is a too-sweet vanilla amber with a decidedly artificial cast. It actually smells drugstore- rather than niche-quality to me.

Thanks to my unusually large sample vial (twice as big as the others!), I was able to test this composition multiple times, and the verdict is: simply not for me. Could be a skin chemistry issue. On ne sait jamais...

The dry down is amazing. It is so sweet and beautiful, with great lasting power. The vanilla is enticing and the jasmine to die for. I didn't catch too much of the cinnamon but I was detecting some citrus in the beginning until it wore off.

Wish by Lollia is a perfume with EXTREME good staying power. I tried it when I was in Boston, I sprayed 2 sprays on a hoodie I bought there. A few weeks later I went with my parents on a boat in Holland and took the hoodie with me; yes, it was still there! It is supergourmand and really has it's own smell, it's unique... I even couldn't think of an occasion to wear it. But, there IS a perfume that smells pretty much like it; Delices by Cartier. So for the ones in Europe (or other parts of the world) where Lollia is not retailed, try Delices, it is something in that direction!

This is a nice scent for other, but not for me personally. I say that because I would never wear it, but I'm sure I would like it on a friend. Personally I find this perfume to be a very bland, uncaptivating vanilla scent. I don't get the people who compare it to anything like tanning lotion or coconut. I don't smell coconut whatsoever, and nothing about it reminds me of anything remotely tropical. Tropical and coconut would be J-Lo's Miami Heat. I was also shocked by the pepper note in it, as I don't smell even a hint of pepper or spice.

Wonderful! I seriously enjoyed this fragrance (which I was attracted to just by the lovely bottle). The opening has a strong coconut note (though it's not supposed to?) that I like, but it's short lived. It dries down quickly, and what are meant to be the top notes suddenly appear as the heart notes. The pepper, bergamot, and amber are warm and unique, while the fragrance as a whole remains just sweet enough. Feminine and rich without being offensive.

I like this one. I could swear that their is some coconut in it at first sniff, but it seems to be the cinnamon when I smell better. A nice warm and soft scent

This fragrance does not sit well with me. The zest of the bergamot is so sour and then there's some plasticky thing going on in the background. Im not going to go into details about this, suffice to say I don't like and won't be buying it.

I had a sample bottle of this which I *adored*. One day I accidentally spilled the whole sample stash on my pants before work (!!!), and many of the customers commented on how the fitting room smelled like sunscreen! Others just commented on how nice I smelled :-o

this smells like hardcore suntan lotion all the way. Almost too sweet for me, and I'm a gourmand lover. I find it hard to wear. It does smell lovely, but I was hoping for more of a spicy scent. THIS IS NOT SPICY. It is so feminine and dainty.

For me very similar to Estee Lauders Bronze Goddes dry oil.
Love this one also, but is stronger than bronze goddes.
So when you cant buy this one, try Bronze Goddes.!!

Another oriental vanilla that I love. As with all other perfumes, it smells differently on me than other reviewers describe, and than one would expect given it's notes. Although it does initially smell floral, on me it predominantly smells like a not-too-gourmand- y gourmand scent or an oriental. Very unique and delicious with an acceptable longevity. I don't agree that it's a summer scent, however; it's too warm for that.

The notes make this sound like it should be exotic, but it's not very. A banana-y vanilla jasmine with peppery notes, it just doesn't rise above BBW type of scents. There's nothing actually wrong with the scent, and it's probably a good one for the beach as it has that tropical feeling to the vanilla, but overall I was underwhelmed.

This is a very sweet, and very addictive scent. It makes me feel good just spraying it on! I purchased a trial size and had to get the full bottle. It begins on a floral note and fades to a warm sweet honey / vanilla tone. It's a sunny, happy, fabulous perfume. Very different and distinct.

As much as I would love to LOVE this fragrance...I don't. I can't decide if I even like it or not.

Lollia Wish begins with a fresh smell of bergamot ZEST. Yes, zest. Not juicy, and not overly tart, but with a bitter quality about it. THAT part doesn't bother me. I don't get any cinnamon or pepper. AT. ALL. The middle notes and basenotes seem to arrive almost at the same time on me. Ug! And again, the ylang ylang and I don't get along. I don't smell the jasmine, but I AM smelling something like a watery green coconut note. Not sure what it is....but it makes me think of suntan lotion mixed with sunblock....and though I'm from an island (or two!), I don't exactly want to smell like sunblock OR suntan lotion,so this is the part that bothers me. Perhaps if the amber arrived in its normal spicy/woodsy/inense fashion, it would have made it more bareable, but I couldn't even find it. The plus side is that it isn't undesirably sweet.

I think this would be good for the summer; on the beach; by the pool...somewhere where you would expect to smell like this. I honestly can't picture someone wearing it in the office....but to each his own, right?

Unfortunately, I do NOT smell anything reminiscent of Kenzo Amour. This lasted about 3 hours on me (but I'll have to retest to double-check that).

**UPDATE**
Okay...so while I still don't LOVE my initial reaction to the top notes (or rather, the first 30 minutes or so), the dry down is quite lovely. I can smell a lightly spiced rice pudding mixed with green coconut water. I still wish they added just a bit more cinnamon, but I like this drydown better than the one in Lollia Imagine. Not bad. It's growing on me... ;) As far as lasting power, it still only lasted about 3 hours on me. =(

Is this scent very spicy? I'm not a fan of L de Lolita, so I was wondering if this is similar? However, I LOOOOVE Kenzo Amour, and just saw that someone compared it to that one, so if you could please say what you smell here, I would be most grateful. Thanks!

My first thought when smelling this was 'freshly grated Nutmeg'!! but I don't see that in the notes. It is an absolutely heavenly blend of warm spices and light floral! Love it!

Carried at "Anthropolgie" in the store (usually sold out) or on their website on line. Isn't this heavenly!

My daughter bought this for me for Mother's day. It's an absolutely wonderful fragrance & my new favorite! A must have for the warmer seasons!

I have the handcreme and bubbling bath in this scent and absolutely love it. Now if I can just get my hands on a little bottle of perfume....

This fragrance reminds me of the sweet smell of milk and honey. I found this perfume in a specialty store and sampled it. It is just lovely and I will wear this in the spring to summer months!
