Very cute and fairylike perfume. I really like it a lot and I am glad I have a bottle of this, which is beautiful I think with the frosted glass. Projection and longevity seem to be moderate on my skin. It smells a little smoother to me than the original lolita lempicka. Sad that it is a limited edition.
Sceseeslada – :
I once reached out for advice and opinions on this fragrance and was repeatedly told that this is just powdered cherry water that does not last even 30 minutes and how this is not worth purchasing.
So glad I did not listen to that advise and those comments.
I don’t find this to be watery or very big on cherry. This, to me, is a powdery iris scent more than anything. A lovely vintage lipstick/cosmetic powder scent.
I always get atleast 6-7 hours out of this. It does not have mad projection but it is more than a skin scent on me. Beautiful bottle too.
Sad how this is discontinued.
livovich2004 – :
I was hoping that L’Eau en Blanc would share some similarities to the now-discontinued and hard-to-find cherry dominant Fleur Defendue, also by Lolita Lempicka. Sadly the anise accord is missing from L’Eau en Blanc, and in many ways, this fragrance removes itself from previous Lolita Lempicka releases.
L’Eau en Blanc starts off with a delicate, powdery blend of iris, violet, cherry and a subtle hint of sweet raspberry. I wish this blend stayed constant, but unfortunately, this fragrance becomes muskier the more it develops.
At the time of this review I have been wearing this fragrance for two full hours, and already this fragrance is starting to fade into non-existence. The projection on my skin is incredibly weak and longevity around the 2-3 hour mark. I am disappointed, to say the least.
Lolita Lempicka has some of the prettiest bottles on the market, and you could forgive one for buying this fragrance for the bottle alone. Don’t get me wrong, L’Eau en Blanc is an extremely wearable and pleasant fragrance, but is not great in terms of its lasting power.
This fragrance is still relatively easy to track down online, despite being a limited edition release back in 2012. My favourite cherry-rich Fleur Defendue is however much harder to find, much to my dismay.
Skrask – :
I like it even it is a gentle, subtle perfume. Mostly there is iris and violet, but somehow at the beginning i detect pear, a fresh not intensiv pear. Then it goes subtle to flowery side. When you need an inoffensive and scent that will not scream but just go along then choose this.
Silghtly powdery after 1 h.
scooter – :
I’ll admit the cute bottle drew me in. I bought this unsniffed and regretted it as soon as I got it. It smells like straight baby powder.
sergios200670 – :
I adore the Lolita Lempicka scents and own 6 of them in total. This one I really do not like.
It smells like cheap baby powder or baby wipes to me. Not a fan at all. Maybe it is just my skin chemistry?? I have tried it a number of times but it just does not work for me at all.
The bottle is amazing but unfortunately the scent is a total let down for me.
I gave it to my mum as she likes it, and it smells really nice on her.
Conndar – :
Tested today. The first blast was powder, but then it settled to an exact Marshmallow type of fluffy, musky scent. Overall, wasn’t much of a ride like the original, but was nice enough.
Shtil – :
I blind bought this a while back because I love the Lempicka house and haven’t been let down by them until now. Don’t get me wrong, the fragrance itself is beautiful but it is so soft that I need to bury my nose in the spray spot to enjoy it. Oddly enough, on me this rendition is frightfully similar to Molinard’s Habanita, it’s just much softer/lighter but the scent of the dry down is the same. So I prefer instead to wear Habanita because I personally opt for sillage. Still this is a beautiful fragrance but is has no sillage at all on me and longevity is below average. Lots of violets and powder, just beautiful and so feminine.
dasha13066 – :
I received it as a new year gift from two of my best friends and this makes it even more special for me.I couldn’t stop thinking about it after the day I tried it on my skin and this is such a baby powderyish,innocent and beautiful scent that I knew it’s exactly what I’m looling for(this spring I’m experiencing a love story between me and clean,powdery musky florals)
Lolita l’eau en blanc goes through several phases of development which I can’t really describe but if you’re looking for intense cherry or liquorice like original lolita it would let you down.heliotrope,iris,musk and tonka(which is more like a not really sweet powdery vanilla) are the main players here.all these notes are powdery so one can expect a very powdery scent
It’s musk is exactly the type of JLo Glow’s musk but in lolta blanc it’s less cold probably because it’s balanced by raspberry,licorice and tonka
I’m surprised to see many people are complaining about it’s longevity as it’s pretty long lasting on MD(+5,6 hours)but sillage is soft and it’s a skin scent almost all through it’s life
It can be a lovely perfume for a bride who doesn’t want to be showy.lolita lempicka is among my favorite brands and l’eau en blanc is another sign to proof this brand can make different and all great perfumes. I believe this one could be more than a flanker.an independent one as starter of a line of clean,innocent lolitas.
I usually dislike frosted glass bottles but I can’t deny it’s a work of art
Although I wished a bigger sillage and better projection,I love it so much that I will rank it as five hearts
garik70 – :
I wanted to write a long review for it but now that I want to start,I see that I can’t!it’s not your typical lolita lempicka yet it has the lolita gene.it’s a very soft and clean scent but unlike most other soft scents I can’t call it safe.it’s not everyone’s cup of tea because it’s very powdery,well one of the powderiest perfumes I ever experienced.I have a friend who calls this much powder chocking but for me it’s a fluffy heaven
As I said I can’t write a real review forit,not before owning it because although it may seem simple it goes through several stages.I’m not a fan of it’s opening part(maybe because I don’t like violet Leaf)but as it develops I like it more and more.middle stage seems like tones of powdery iris,violet and white musk.very powdery,makeup-like,clean scent.I think wearing it in a sunny spring or summer day would be a real pleasure like being enveloped by white and clean,sheer powder puffs but I like it’s drydown even more than that.
As a true lolita lempicka it shows that it can be very powdery and delicious at the same time.powdery musky florals are settled down and I can smell a combination of heliotrope,raspberry and tonka.it’s very delicious in a unique,powdery Way!in my experience these notes need heat to come out so they stay very faint sometimes but they bloom on a warm skin,yummm and make the overall experience very interesting
Longevity is impressive on my skin while sillage never passes soft
I can’t wait to add this ice powdery apple to my collection.I think I can name myself a hardcore lolita fan
Dreanydrary – :
This perfume reminds me of Johnson’s baby shampoo, the classic one! Can’t say I don’t like it; I find it very comforting, innocent and inoffensive, plus the bottle is to die for.
On the downside, longevity is extremely poor, I’ve had better luck with cheaper body sprays.
tyr4 – :
Light sweet almondy/ heliotrope + soft notes of johnson ´s baby powder.
Clean light, reminiscent of white feathers /angel’s wings, innocent, calm, beautiful 🙂
Not long lasting, so you will need to soray a lot, that’s the only downside
PunisherakaJimmy – :
Tender vanilla covered raspberries resting on a bed of flowers. Divine!
xrystik – :
It smells like johnson baby powder or a kind of hand cream, to me it’s nice but not my taste 😛 i also find it’s very similar to Glow by J.Lopez 😀
FriendLiam – :
Bitterly disappointed in L’Eau en Blanc. The original EDP would easily sit in my top 10 list. I adore powdery/spicy scents. Considering how much I enjoy the only LL I own … I guess I placed too many expectations on this one. Shame it happened to be only the second LL I have ever smelled 🙁
The opening, to me, can only be described as: Musty Violet/Powder with a very slight ethereal hint of licorice. Did I say Musty? Musty (just to be sure I covered it)
I get no raspberry or sour cherry. After an hour I am still waiting for a little ‘sparkle’ of some kind to freshen this STILL MUSTY (yep..cant say it enough) scent. In this case I am glad there is pretty much zero silage. It was pretty much a skin scent after 10 mins.
Two hour mark and its gone. No warming up…no creamy drydown…just gone.
L: Very Poor
S: Very soft
Dementr – :
I had this recommended to me and I’m really glad I tried it. This is a fantastic “not a perfume” kind of scent. It smells like the worlds loveliest lotion or talcum powder and isn’t really too “perfume-y”. Perfect for a nurse who could get away with wearing it (I know policies are strict) or anyone who wants something smooth and comforting. It’s on the sweet side for something powdery but not edible type sweet. I feel very feminine and delicate when I wear this and I enjoy that feeling.
Egorov_sv – :
I love the original Lolita Lempicka but I can’t say I’m a fan of this one. I get a hint of that original scent on first spray but for the majority of the time it’s on my skin all I get is baby powder. I’m usually all for powdery scents but on me this perfume spells like Johnsons and Johnsons baby powder, and reminds me far too much of a deodorant I used to wear when I was 13.
Fracebubavame – :
This reminds me of playing in my nana’s cosmetics as a child. All the powder puffs and lipsticks. Playing dress-up in her jewelry and the frothy lacy garage sale things she’d buy us that were just ridiculous and fun.
I can’t tell yet if this is going to be headache-inducing. I don’t think I have any allergies to tonka, but I’m suspicious of it since it’s so similar to vanilla. o’.’o
Definitely powder, heliotrope, and a bit of iris. Also something sweetish, like tonka/vanilla in the drydown. I smell something earthy, but it feels more like patchouli than licorice or vetiver. Needs a bit more of whatever it is to calm the sweetness down a notch.
Interesting trip down memory lane. Someone mentioned it reminded them of babywipes, and yeah, I can totes see that, too, lol! But an expensive brand of babywipe! 😉
alexrey – :
I buy these for the bottles and don’t much mind what the scent is but this screams “Bride “or “Debutant” , none of the original Lolita’s ‘I am woman hear me roar boldness’ this is coy and girly and virginal . The woman this scent invokes is all dewy eyed innocence, white chiffon, lace pearls and sparkly sequined vale.
Labyrinth fans, this is what Sarah would have been wearing in the crystal ballroom.
The Powdery iris and heliotrope is ultra-feminie, I believe Heliotrope is the star here, light background notes of violet and just a whisper of liquorice. Silage is moderate and I find it lasts on fabric longer.
Bottle top marks of course, 10/10 Scent 7/10 a flanker that can stand alone as a scent.
gtnfh – :
This is by far the most adorable Iris perfume I’ve ever come across, but it’s still not too young for people over 30. I actually love it, and boy-howdy am I normally impossible to please!
voldemar5 – :
sugared almonds.
it reminds me of the soft sunset clouds at the end of another day on a greek island.
that was where i was first given sugared almonds wrapped in a piece of white veil.
i can’t remember why someone gave them to me, i wasn’t at the wedding.
this perfume can lift me up.
the smell of promise, of sunsets and gentle sweetness.
in soft pastel hues of innocence.
it smells exactly like sugared almonds.
beautiful.
the bottle is smooth frosted with white icing.
sillage is perfectly soft and longevity is great.
dimonson – :
Adorable bottle, it smells like the plastic from some baby toys, like caramel….something weird….,too synthetic! i don’t know…. i will give it a week notice to decide if i like it or not….
But…It lasts forever!
miklles600 – :
At the first sniff, I was disappointed, it was a baby perfume smell, which reminds me of Bvlgari petits et mamans. However, the dry down is really soft, sweet powdery smell. Like candy frosting or white chocolate – not in a cheap way like pink sugar. Anyway, worth buying.
Fanar1k – :
To me this is not as powdery as some (like Versace Baby Rose Jeans) but still lovely. Goes quite sweetish in the middle notes then the vetiver settles that sweetness down just a touch.
Smells exactly like the Perles edition.
kromas – :
Sweet,clean,luxurious powder.Subtle cherries and violets dusted with powdered sugar.Just the tiniest hint of licorice.Delicous.Pure powder perfection.

bananazury – :
I just got this… Lolita Lempicka may have kicked Aquolina out of my “#1 Fave perfume house” spot. As long as I can blind buy these for somewhat cheap, I’m game.
Blanc IS powder. I get a light floral powder on paper. (I have not tried on my skin yet, will update) The very very brief opening is DELICIOUS like white birthday cake frosting.
I get that this is complex, but it’s not easy to detect. I literally just get powder (old lady powder at that) and I’m dying for some of the LL magic like violet, licorice, raspberry, cherry and tonka. We’ll see how it likes my skin. (I got in the mail today, and I’m wearing DKNY Delicious Caramel Apple right now)
Meh. On skin/clothing it’s very faint. There is a hint of licorice to the powder, but overall– kind of a waste. 🙁
dembel-0808 – :
Such a lovely little iris heliotrope violet raspberry confection. Still has the gorgeous LL dry down but keeps the variation going with the heightened iris and violet. Good in warm weather with a surprising amount of depth. A unique take on a gourmand iris. Far better than it should be but Annick Menardo is always far better than you remember. I feel she is a bit of a chameleon perfumer.
enginiurf – :
Innocent and gourmand. Like the most decadent white chocolate frosting. This scent is adorable. I wish I had the lotion and the perfume.
leon2307 – :
The only scent that comes to me when I put this on was overbearing baby powder and musk. It gave me a headache.
at4epenka – :
MI got my eight year old daughter a bottle of Love’s Babysoft perfume, just like I had back in the day. I know, dangerous to be starting her that young, right? We both agreed this is the grown up version. Sweet, powdery ethereal cloud of loveliness. This is great for quiet nights snuggling at home, and for a sweet and angelic vibe. I’m so glad I have it even if it’s not a typical Lolita. I love it when the mood strikes, and lately, that has been often.
Weselika – :
It smells like Vesace Baby Rose Jeans, it’s very powdery, it’s really just like sweetened powder. Not over complicated or extravagant, also not very Lolita, but nice none the less.
minesmikipt – :
Heart-breakingly lovely but heart-breakingly disappointing in that its presence is so very fleeting. I’m okay with a fragrance that doesn’t have throw/sillage, but not okay with a complete disappearance from my skin/clothes in an hour or so.
Licorice IS there, but only when sniffed in a confined space; such as when trapped between skin and clothing. It’s very warm and very sweet, unlike many other fragrances where licorice is somewhat unpleasant, taking your breath away.
This is an ethereal fragrance (literally), and reminds me of something from long, long ago; possibly Blue Grass or Muguet des Bois. But sadly, there’e not enough time in fragrance to be able to tell very much. Personally, I do get lily-of-the-valley; but again, not enough time in fragrance to really know.
It is so subtle, that most of the affect is in your imagination, IMO.
Vadim1980 – :
Endlessly feminine. There is something old-fashioned and glamorous, yet youthful about this scent. L’eau en Blanc is what a delicate young lady with shiny, long ringlets and a floral sun hat would wear while having tea in the garden, shielded by her parasol of course. She would keep it in her ornate powder room, and spray it on her neck in front of her silver vanity mirror. It’s the type of scent that could make gentlemen’s hearts ache, for the creature who wears it is an unattainable and impossibly dainty nymph.
There are strong notes of powder to this scent, but it’s more complex than that. Behind them are whiffs of a bouquet of iris and mysterious wild flowers. Even fainter is the hint of fruit, as if a blooming raspberry bush were just a few steps away.
The subtlety and soft sillage of this perfume actually make it special to me. It blends in with your skin and makes you smell as if you naturally emit a soft, heavenly smell; as if you were born with it.
IonimbKib – :
beautiful powdery warm sweet there is something similar to bvlgari pour femme …
i am thinking about this perfume to make it my new spring fragrance…
definitely it reminds bvlgari mammas at petits or even little bit pour femme
ArximMen – :
This is like pure light. But it’s not a blinding light. It’s a bright, yet soft, white light that glows and gently envelopes the wearer. It swirls, slowly then more quickly, then slowly again. Makes me think of angel-like creatures swathed in white dancing in the air. Another LL creation that I’ve fallen in love with. Damn you, Lolita Lempicka.
stepnyak – :
I love Lolita Lempicka so much,and I would love L’eau en blanc only if it would last more than 10 minutes. Seriously it has zero longevity. After first sprizt I get this powdery fruity scent which I love, but after few minutes it’s completly gone and I don’t understand why would Lolita Lempicka made a fragrance like that. It has kinda put me in a state where I only feel annnoyed by it. It doesn’t deliver at all. Such a shame for such a promising smell.Thank god, not all lolitas are like that. On to the next one!
petrov1rav – :
Smells like Johnson’s baby powder with sligh sweet vanilla, plus tiny amount of sweet cherries in the drydown, clean, pretty, subtle, but 90% of it baby powder smell.
masti – :
This is a pretty one. Since my last review I decided this is a love and purchased a full bottle. A small sample or one spray isn’t enough to appreciate this perfume. It took 7 full sprays for me to start to understand and love this frag. At that point I finally got the raspberry nuances, and the sweet tonka/vanilla drydown.
The opening is powdery, with a soft fruity raspberry and a small amount of musk. As it starts to dry, I start feeling vanilla in it. The drydown is all tonka bean and vanilla, with a light sweet powdery floral [iris/violets] in the background.
Lasting power is 3-4 hours. The first hour is fairly potent, maybe a foot or 2 of projection. After that it is a more personal skin scent. The bottle is beautiful like all LL bottles. Love 🙂
mbw 150 – :
To me, it smells like pure baby powder. It even hits my nose the way baby powder does. It is because of this that when I first sprayed it, I disliked it. The first time I was introduced to a powder smell was another Lolita Lempicka fragrance, and it took a very long time for it to grow on me, still I only wear that one on certain occasions. The entire day I had this on me, I kept smelling it and hoping that it would change even in the slightest, and I thought at one point I smelt something vaguely fruity but I have not smelt that since. So I decided to shower and apply this all over, rather than just 1 area. I still could only smell it when I put my nose to an area I sprayed it on, and it still smelled like baby powder. It gets much much softer but it still smells like baby powder. It did not linger onto my clothes, pillows, or blankets and it was completely gone in the morning.
andrei_shleiko – :
I have only tested this once so far, so this is only a first impressions at this point. The opening is a little questionable for my taste, I like it but at the same time it smells like a perfume you would put on a baby. Powdery and innocent. During the drydown I get a DEFINITE vanilla that is not listed in the notes, or listed in anyone else’s review here. It is like this perfume grows up as it dries down. The opening is very childlike, and the drydown moves from ‘spray this on a baby’ to the smell of my elegant grandmother.
Still trying to make this one out.
artemond – :
I’ve come to the conclusion that anything by Annick Mennardo is a perfume I will fall in love with. Oh such a soft and pretty iris and violet scent! This is violets done beautifully. I needed to reapply more frequently than with my other perfumes but that is no great hardship in the long run, when those top notes are so lovely! Reminds me a little of Laura Mercier’s Gourmande Violette, which also has vanilla notes but I prefer this one, it’s way gentler on the nose. There is also something about this which feels a little like Cerruti 1881 to me but the much softer version, I think it’s the violets – and is there chamomile in this one, too? Safe for work but also incredibly romantic – and the bottle is so pretty, too! This perfume is love and comfort, it reminds me of the way I think and feel for my son.
tokyo_hot25 – :
I am usually an LL fan but this one is too powdery, sweet and faint on my skin.
VALEK96 – :
Un duel entre Dame violette et Sieur iris… Le tout orchestré par Mademoiselle framboise…
Un duel de pétales poudrés et juste ce qu’il faut de fruité par la framboise. Pour moi c’est à la limite de ce que je peux supporter d’une note fruitée dans un parfum floral poudré, au delà je n’aime pas et ma peau me le fait sentir (le parfum “tourne”).
Il tient très très bien sur la peau et je pense que j’ai eu la main lourde ;O).
C’est vrai aussi qu’il fait un peu “rouge à lèvres” pendant un moment.
Très très beau parfum pour l’automne.
dalomar haras – :
I used the original Lolita Lempicka perfume when it first came out and loved it for many years until I got tired of the earthy note, now I can’t stand it, so what was my surprise when I heard this one had nothing to do with Le premier and it really did not. First notes remind me of Infusion d’Iris EDT which I don’t like because I find the powder too astringent to my liking, but here it is not, it’s smooth and sweet, I can smell the violet so fluffy and round without sharp edges, it’s like baby powder but better, a soothing scent ideal for quiet times reading a book, sipping some tea, oh so lovely.
oevorlon – :
I found this scent to be quite pleasant. The initial note that comes out once sprayed is definitely raspberry, but it very quickly turns to powder: sweet & inoffensive, laced and intertwined with delicate florals. It’s very soft, and though I’m not a big powder-person, this perfume did not bother me at all. I can vaguely smell licorice, but it’s not strong. This powdery iris is what I smell for about an hour, when the powder simmers down and is cut by something sharper, but still sweet. I believe this is the cherry and tonka bean coming into play, and this is also when I can’t stop smelling my wrist and feeling happy.
But I hate the longevity of this perfume… 🙁 unfortunately on my skin it is gone without a trace after about two or three hours, max. It’s a classy scent, and a nice addition to my collection, but I would not repurchase as it’s too soft-spoken for my tastes and it’s not much for lasting power. But worth a try if you prefer light, classic, and utterly lovely scents.
serega123_123 – :
Chh, chhh, chh, chhh, chhh. Oh that’s just me — every five minutes with this perfume! Sheesh, constant reapplication is needed; don’t leave your bottle at home! That said, it is very pretty: sugary fairy dust on a fairy cake. I can understand the one reviewer’s comparison to Petits et Mamans; this one could easily be used by a little girl. It’s kind of difficult to pick out individual notes, as this is a well-blended composition, kind of nostalgic but not at all dated.
fourfague – :
I was really hoping that this would smell like lipstick or facial powder, but on my skin it just smells like baby powder dusted over old lemonade–in other words, powdery, with something sour in the background. Very low sillage.
carpinteyroplg – :
This is a very powdery sweet scent. It is strong in the opening (gives me a headache) but simmers down after two hours. But this last on me with longevity for about 3-4 hours going strong.
I ordered this without trying it first, because everybody said it smelled great. So I wanted to try it. When I got it I found out I’m not the powder scent lover! So this is a pass for me.
It reminds me of a very mature 50 – 60 age scent for older women. But I think if you love powder scents this is for you! 🙂
vovan.vovan1971 – :
Very powdery, as expected from a fragrance with iris as the main note. smells so much like my mother’s lipstick. I’m sorry but i have to pass.Certainy not my cup of tea.
ASER11111 – :
If you are powdery scent Lover, then this one is must-try.
This one have purity like a girl, but also mature like a woman.
LL’s another great achievement!
Just a shame that is limited edition, but that gives adventages as specialty.
and-rudkovskiy – :
I find this to be an incredibly delicate (without being too weak) crisp and clean iris scent.
Like the remnants of a fine soap or talc. Heavenly! Soft, smooth, slightly effervescent.
It’s a predominantly powdery, subtly fruity, musky skin scent. There’s some saltiness/smokiness in the drydown that balances out the tart & sweet raspberry wonderfully. At times it brings to mind little tubs of vanilla ice cream with raspberry sauce swirls that were available during my youth.
The only things I would change about this, if I could, are the following:
First and foremost, I’d make it last longer.
Secondly, I’d make the top notes last for more than the measly five to ten minutes provided.
Thirdly, if I could have my way, there’d be another version with peach in place of the raspberry. But this is simply a personal preference. I love the scent as it is, but would adore a peachy version of the same scent.
And last but not least, I’d make it a little cheaper. Somehow it smells like it ought to be cheaper! (Not intended as an insult, but it’s very delicate and not so long lasting as others from the Lempicka range.
Having never tried scents such as “Sweet Honesty” or “Love’s Baby Soft”, this is exactly how I’d imagine/hope/expect them to be, and they’re both far cheaper than this. They have both been described as powdery, soapy, talc-like, powdered makeup, lipstick scents – just like this.
I’m head over heels for the subtlety of this. It sits very well in my collection with Bijan Nude, Prada Candy & Muse de Rochas (the latter being a scent that was, like this, created for a bride to wear), for providing me with the most luxurious “my skin but a million times better” kind of scent, which I’ve really grown to love lately. And of that selection, this one is definitely my favorite. I’m a fan of simple white soaps that are milky & creamy, scented with iris, rose, almond, violet. I’m also a huge fan of Johnson’s baby products, so this is right up my street. This soft, powdery scent is just so fresh and clean smelling, but also having a uniquely subtle smokiness in its depths, probably from a combination of the tonka and licorice, giving this an edge. I can’t get enough!
The top notes have a beautiful papery quality with a heavy dose of sweet almond, tonnes of powdery, smooth iris and sweet, waxy violet leaf. (From the bottle itself the smell is more raspberry, whereas the raspberry doesn’t come in straight away when wearing the scent on skin.)
The middle is lovely, with some salty musk, soapy violet and smooth heliotrope, leading through to hints of the raspberry and such a soft amount of licorice – it’s almost indiscernible! (Though in the air around me the licorice is slightly more prominent, making this distinctly LEMPICKA!)
For me this is the perfect scent to wear to bed or to the Doctor’s/Dentist’s office where you don’t want to overpower anybody with perfume-stink. This might overPOWDER some people, but for me it’s utter perfection. I love the slightly waxy, metallic, cool element here, and the fact that it’s not so gooey, sweet, green, earthy or fruity as some of the other Lempicka scents (therefore I personally wouldn’t recommend this as somebody’s first venture into the land of Lempicka; it doesn’t really provide an accurate representation of their usually rubbery and herbaceous cherry and licorice heavy scent range).
Overall, I believe that this would be equally perfect come rain or shine. It seems suitable for all times of year as a daily, staple scent. I personally love spraying it on when I’m in my pyjamas, ready for bed, after a nice bath or shower using my favorite white soap (or as a means of giving the impression that I just had a nice bath or shower using my favorite white soap).
And I feel that the concept behind the scent is also quite accurate; with the idea of wedding cakes and lace wedding dresses. The scent’s certainly evocative of sweetened, sugar coated almonds & lightly dusted icing. This is a delectably soft vanilla and raspberry ice cream scent in simply the most delightful bottle. The design on the box is like a beautifully intricate adorning of leaves made of marzipan/icing atop a smooth white wedding cake – literally the perfect vessel for the wonderful vapors captured inside.

Second review/update:
I am so, totally in love with this! I’m on the hunt for something similar, but much stronger! Anyone out there have suggestions? I love the vanilla and violet combination, and with only a touch of the fruit. May need to buy back up bottles very soon..
This just feels like clean, cool cloud is surrounding you. Warms up into a vanilla skin scent, but still has that sweet violet tinge. Does really well on clothes, and underneath clothes. I’ve never owned anything like this before, it feels like I’ve finally found what’s been “missing”!
uvl74 – :
first off it’s got a synthetic thing going on, like a lipstick and powder counter in a department store. then some floral scent pokes through more, but it still smells a lot like lipstick to me! as it settles into my skin i get some raspberry and licorice coming through. the licorice is definitely reminiscent of the LL signature scent. it becomes a light but fruity-musk scent. the raspberry comes forth more and more, and then finally the violet, where it gets kind of powdery. it’s definitely a powdery raspberry-violet-musk scent at this point. soon after some vanilla-y scent comes through (tonka maybe?) which i quite like because it grounds the scent a bit. i end up with a lovely vanilla-violet with hints of raspberry. it’s a sugary floral, just gorgeous.
Galya93 – :
Just got this..smells delicious,first spray I smell baby shampoo, the dry down alittle like a cherry scented baby powder.The downside it doesn’t last too long on it’s own.It layers well with Love’s Baby Soft or Demeter Baby Powder.
