Description
Following the release of its Elle L’aime edition from 2013, and this year’s L L’aime fragrance, Lolita Lempicka is launching another successor of the celebrated fragrance, now even more intensely concentrated—Elle L’Aime A La Folie. The new fragrance arrives in a bottle of the same shape, which is, this time, composed of a matte gold-colored body and transparent letter-embossing that reveals the amount of honey-colored juice inside.
The composition of the new fragrance opens with a sparkling alliance of juicy mandarin and bergamot, which illuminates the exotic floral blend of ylang-ylang and jasmine, placed in its heart. The base notes of myrrh, sandalwood and amber, envelop the rest of the composition in a soft, warming veil. The fragrance is available in a new, more intense, Eau de Parfum concentration, composed of rare high-quality ingredients, reflecting the power of love.
The new fragrance of the Elle L’Aime A La Folie collection by Lolita Lempicka arrives in a lovely bottle of 80 ml, in Eau de Parfum Extrême concentration.
Elle L’aime A La Folie was launched in 2014.

A lot sweeter and easier than the original.
The amber mellows the mix, the ylang ylang is more noticeable.
less Sharp.
I think i’ll layer them.
beautiful bottles.

Tester bottle of edp extreme.
Folie opens up with a tart mandarin and bergamot. The Ylang and jasmine surface in a beautiful simple heart. The myrrh notes and amber lend a gentle sweetness. Sandalwood augments the ylang. Its a terrific buy, you get a lot more for your money with this one. Fun and sexy

First impressions of this: smooth, sweet, almost like amber and gold in syrup form. Is it the ylang making this so buttery-smooth? It’s so rich smelling. Smells young and beautiful.
This acts almost like a gourmand in sweetness, but manages to stay away from vanilla, caramel, and other foody-sweet notes. This perfume is very warm, sweet, and makes me feel calm and serene.

This sweet, floral woodsy delight to me smells like the absence of honey. While I love that elusive honey, it is quite hard to bottle and plays wickedly with skin chemistry. This has the citrus zest but not the orange blossom, the flower but not the nectar, the woods and the sap holding the nest but not the honey, and the warm sunny feeling without the bees buzzing about. It’s so versatile and enveloping. It doesn’t have a lot of development, but that’s fine. I like it from the first spray to the last waft. And it lasts awhile!This is even better than Guerlain’s Aqua Allegoria Ylang et Vanille (which I still have) in that it manages to smell like your favorite cousin who makes good life choices instead of your slightly musty auntie with great taste but diminishing olfaction. As if all this weren’t enough, the price makes this a no-brainer. Thanks for the helpful reviews, Fragrantica members!

It is very similar to La Perla Divina, sweetish and somewhat boozy 🙂

I tried lolita lempicka elle l’aime at the store.loved it and bought a bottle of it the other day.when I opened it’s box at home and sprayed it I saw that I don’t like it!I was puzzled
Recently I went to that perfume shop again and recognized that there’s two different version of it.tried this one and I understood that the one I loved at first place and still love is a la foile version but unfortunately the one I have is original elle l’aime.what makes me dislike the latter one is combination of lime and coconut.I don’t like sour citruses in beachy scents and it’s coconut is too much and there’s nothing warm or sweet to make it yummy and likable for me.
There’s no lime sourness or coconut overload in a la foile.it’s sunny,buttery ylang-ylang and jasmine blended with just a hint of creamy coconut and sandalwood.I believe what makes me love this is amber and myrrh,they give it warm,delicious and a charming twist
It also has impressive Longevity and sillage for a summary fragrance.I wanted to buy it after I finish my l’aime but I don’t think that I can wait till then
Pay attention to their colors while buying.a la foile is brighter
P.s:
I’d also love try layering it with Valentino myrrh

This is like a better version of stash. Less plastic.

So pleased to find this version of Elle L’aime…I liked the original a lot but I am just not a fan of coconut as a note in perfumes. This version is exactly the same, without the lime and coconut. Love it! Very strong sillage for the first two hours and then it settles down.

This is a gorgeous fragrance that is so cheap! It smells high end. I was a bit wary of the ylang ylang at first but I neednt have. Its so smooth its almost buttery. It is not screechy at all. I would say the mryhh, ylang, amber and jasmine are very well balanced so none dominates. The sweet citrus notes are only evident at the beginning and wain quickly. You have hours of sweetish delicious tropical floral heaven. moderate sillage but great longevity.

I was looking for perfect Yalang-yalang and I’ve got it! I love this scent in oils, but in fragrances yalang makes perfume to smell so retro to me. L’Aime a la Folie gives that impression too, but only in first couple of minutes. Then it’s getting sweet and oriental with very nice and strong amber and myrrh, but this sweetness is very well balanced with citrus notes, so it’s not going to seem too syrupy. It defiantly has very beautiful and powerful silage plus it’s pretty long lasting.

I thought I was buying a new 2.7 oz tester of the original Elle L’Aime from ebay, but what came is the A LA FOLIE Extreme version… and I’m NOT disappointed! I love it! It smells very similar to the original…. the same drydown I believe, but the opening lacks the lime and coconut.
Still smells very much like Gold Sugar from Aquolina. But all in all…. $24 well spent! SCORE!

This is another spin on the Elle L’aime perfumes however this version is hands down my favorite of the 3.
I am not sure if the notes shown above are all there is to this perfume, so i could not say which note is most noticeable.
this is a seductive, exotic and sweet fragrance but not sweet-sweet like the famous gourmands. Usually i am not a fan of ylang-ylang but in this scent is it beautifully accompanied by jasmine and the warm base which tone it down a little.
I would describe this as a floral gourmand since it has a sweet edge but is more floral. this scent is playful, coquette and sensual

Not having tried Elle L’Aime or L L’Aime, I’m unfortunately unable to compare A La Folie to either of them. However, I can say that having tried this a couple of times already, Ella L’Aime A La Folie is a very nice fragrance. I like the contrast of citrus and white flowers with amber and woody notes and my overall impression is of a very elegant, sensual and good quality perfume. It has good strength and lasting power and smells expensive. But there is a note that I’m not so keen on, that reminds me of baby powder and I can’t tell which note it is. I kept thinking that this perfume reminded me of something very familiar and then realised what it was – it is quite similar to Estee Lauder’s Intuition, which I used to wear in the early 2000s. They both share two of the same top notes and the amber base. A La Folie is pretty and sophisticated at the same time. Personally, I don’t feel the need to add this one to my collection, but it would be a good choice for somebody who is looking for a versatile, year-round fragrance. I find it quite youthful and think it will have mass appeal.
