Ahhhh Wish. The fragrance that started it all for me. I tested this in an Anthropologie a year ago and instantly fell in love.
Wish starts out with a zing of a peppery bergamot, not spicy, and a bit sweet. I don’t know if it’s my imagination but the bergamot lends a light tea like addition. Not a bold Assam, but a delicate milky earl grey sort of addition that’s hardly there but also there. It soon mellows out into a warmer, deeper sweetness, the pepper not completely disappearing but enveloped in a warm vanilla hug. The vanilla in this is not an aggressive cotton-candy sugar, but a sort of mellow warmth. I think of baked goods, but CUPCAKES is not the first thing to come screaming to my mind.
The image this fragrance invokes is of a woman, wearing a simple and casual silk wrap dress, with a bit of careless bedhead hair, walking past a bakery where a tray of fresh macarons are being laid out. That’s how this fragrance makes me feel.
andi27 – :
Initial impression: Sugar crystals and vanilla marshmallows, as promised.
After a bitter bergamot and sharp pepper introduction, it softens to a very sweet lemonade, with a stick of cinnamon added for a little something extra and unexpected. Then the citrus mellows off, without completely disappearing, and ylang ylang slides in sumptuous and sexy. It gives this a decidedly tropical, beachy vibe. Then much later the scent loses most of it’s floral character and turns into something like a buttery lemon cookie bar…with a fluffy layer of thick icing on top.
It’s *really* sweet. I think the scent probably works better for the other products in the line, but I’m not sure it works for me as a perfume. It’s just too much sugar. It’s a very natural and realistic sugar (which I appreciate) and it’s paired with some really interesting supplemental notes (which keep it from being one dimensional)…but it’s still a lot of sweet to get through. I think “Me, 5 Years Ago” would have gone head-over-heels for Wish, but “Me at 30” is getting a head-ache.

This was a blind buy for me. My first impression of this fragrance: yikes. At first spray, I got nothing astringent citrus and soapy white florals. Given a few minutes to develop, Wish is actually quite nice! The scent is reminiscent of the smell of a lemon square. I was surprised to see that most people rated this a spring scent, as I can’t help but think of this as the colder side of Christmas in a bottle (snow and whipped cream rather than gingerbread and cider).
Given the cinnamon and amber notes, I was expecting this to be quite a bit warmer than it is. In fact, this is not spicy whatsoever to my nose. I added Dolce and Gabbana Pour Femme to my collection last week, and I have to say these are much too similar for me to justify owning both. While they’re more like sisters than twins, I really only have so much space for cold, citrusy gourmands on my little perfume shelf. I do think I like this one a wee bit better for its freshly-baked drydown over Pour Femme’s floral edge than runs ’til the end.

This is Christmas on an island, an exotic island. I have never smelled anything like this and I absolutely love it! I have searched long and hard for the scent that I want to grow old with and this is it! It’s beachy and floral enough to wear in the summer, but warm and spicy enough to wear in the winter. I never have to take it off.
xxu450Diobtetty – :
I blind bought this after reading the reviews here, but was completely unprepared for the strong citrus/bergamot opening. In fact, I don’t especially care for the opening, but after an hour or so the bergamot dissipates and the sweet vanilla marshmallow perfume I was expecting emerges. Admittedly, I’ve only tried this in summer, so I’m hoping that in the cooler weather I’ll smell less bergamot and more cinnamon.
semenovich – :
My first perfume! I sampled it at a store six years ago and instantly fell in love, so I had to get it. A month back, I was frustrated because I hadn’t seen it since my freshman year of college (I’m a rising junior now), and I couldn’t find it anywhere. However, a week or so later, in a search for something else, I opened up one of the boxes that I still hadn’t unpacked since I moved out freshman year (ridiculous, I know) and I caught a familiar whiff of something that instantly brought a smile to my face— it was Wish! Honestly, I just love this fragrance; (though it could be because of its nostalgic effect) it’s soothingly sweet, yet still unique and sophisticated.
Dantezfm – :
The opening is a pleasant heady floral with a heavy dose of sugar, vanilla, and a hint of bergamot and cinnamon. The citrus seems to be more pronounced in colder weather.
In the first hour or two the sugar gets pretty intense and the floral fades. There is an occasional “doll skin” scent that had me concerned this would be too sweet for me and I generally like sweet.
There is also a hint of strawberry, like those strawberry shortcake ice cream bars. Its one of those notes that is occasionally standing out, but isn’t dominate.
Hours into my work shift I started getting a wiff of the most amazing honeyed vanilla with a bit of floral that smells occasionally like orange blossom and occasionally like almond. It is remarkably similar to the way Amouage Sunshine smells when you sniff the bottle. 13 hours later I’m still smelling it and it is awesome. It isn’t what I am looking for for Summer or Fall . . . So I’m considering not sampling any winter scents and just wearing this all winter. It’s that good.
nikolay1984 – :
first off i wanna state that Ferminadaza’s review is what convinced me to sample this.
ahhhhh!!!! this perfume is really good. i wanted to bang out a review real quick!!! i’ll write a more detailed one later.
asked my s/o if it smells good (he’s my litmus test in a scents…. sense….) and he stuck his nose on my wrist for a good minute and just kept sniffing. took it as a good sign! i like it too. it’s such a weird and unique smell. images of sugar cubes immediately pop in my head – not cloying at all. this is a fresh scent but like….. sweet fresh. i don’t know how to explain it. this is a ufo of a fragrance.
i don’t really see it as a teen scent. s/o said it smells very teen-y, but after i told him it kind of smells like a more sophisticated older woman, he said it’s more like a teen from a different time period (which i admittedly said about another perfume very recently).
will write more a bit later!!! but so far this perfume is a 8/10
123zzz123 – :
The first time I tested it, I loved it. I felt it’s was the perfect scent for Christmas with the sugar, the vanilla and the touch of cinnamon. The store has only the gigantic bottle so I did not buy it right away. I had to be sure I would love it because that’s a lot of perfume to unload on the very small affair that Christmas is in my family… So I try it again a couple of times, each time I dislike it more and more. Too sugary and a bit cheap smelling TBH.
sapscievaMype – :
Aww man. I am a bad bad bad mommy.
Positively dreadful.
See, I purchased this perfume because it sounded delightfully sweet and innocent for my tween daughter who is just beginning to show an interest in perfumes. The girl has great taste and has been begging to wear my 24 Faubourg. She’s even sprayed a decant of Chanel no. 5 Eau Premiere which I’d been testing on herself before school one morning. It made for definite sensory dissonance wafting from her little school uniform.
Anyway, I thought that “Sugared Pastilles” sounds wonderfully charming and girly plus the bottle is adorable, therefore it would be a perfect step up from the Bath & Body Works sprays that I’ve purchased for her previously. However it would still be youthful.
It arrived today. For the sake of testing it’s scent, I sprayed a bit on myself. Sweet almond-y vanilla sugar-y perfect baked glory. Uhhhh…I’m sorry my lovely little dear but it was first love at first sniff, Mama will get you another one.

As the spring progresses, it’s time to rearrange my collection and move the sweet comfort fragrances to the back of the shelves. I had on WISH last night, but it’s already a bit late in the season for it. WISH is a spicy marshmallow of a fragrance that for me is best on quiet, chilly evenings at home when the dress code is warm socks and fleecy sweaters. Somehow, it doesn’t work for me during the day and it’s too sweet for warm weather.
I find the initial notes of WISH to be somewhat discordant, but all that smooths out and settles down within about 15 minutes. The vanilla is prominent and I smell honey although that isn’t in the notes. For a scent so fluffy, the sillage is surprisingly strong and it lasts for many, many hours.
DJ куб – :
I like I, and it definitely lasts a long time.Lingers on my clothes for hours. :o)
gruss_85 – :
The bottle is beautiful, but after using up my sample I have to say that I really don’t like this. I agree with Alayna that it’s sickly sweet and synthetic to the point of being a little nauseating. I can’t quite put my finger on what it smells like, I’ve actually never smelled anything like it in my life. Burnt sugar and plastic, perhaps? The notes looked so promising…I have a couple more Lollia samples and I really hope they are better than this!
bodik610 – :
Not happy with this one. Glad I only bought a mini. It just smells way too plasticy and sour mixed with the super sweetness, the effect is kind of making me feel nauseous. Might work for others, I definitely don’t get any of the cinnamon or spices in it (which was why I was originally wanting to buy it.) Bummer.
kupiprodaikupi – :
This is a very sweet scent, but one that still has an air of sophistication about it. There is a lot of vanilla and citrus with a light amount of cinnamon when first sprayed, then it dries down to a warm but not overpowering marshmallow and amber on me. People are always commenting on the heavenly scent whenever I wear this fragrance.
ВолЯ – :
Whoa, I just spent all this money on this bottle of Lollia Wish 3.4 oz edp and it smells like old sourness on me. I blind bought it because of all the great reviews, well most of them were great. I can’t put my finger on it but it is not a good smell in the beginning, middle or end. I can tell you what I don’t smell….cinnamon, vanilla, marshmallow, pepper,amber or sugar. That doesn’t leave much of a smell. I’m going to sell it because it’s a waste on me. It is making me sick so I guess it’s not good with my body make up. One more thing, there was no tany kind powdery smell either, just a sharp sour smell. What a great disappointment. Back to my L’de Lolita Lempicka which smells like heaven on me. Love you Lolita Lempicka!
gmbpw – :
Guys, this perfume is absolutely adorable. I won’t say much more because I think the other reviews on here do a really good job of capturing this scent. I used to wear this in the fall when I went to an elementary school to tutor kids, and one of the students said to me, “You smell like incense!” How a 5th grader knew what incense was I have no idea, but anyway, the point is that it is appropriate for settings where you want to smell pleasant and not suggestive. Silage stays close to you. It is just a very comforting scent that keeps to itself. I would wear it when I’m interacting with kids because it is in no way abrasive or sexy. The bottle is also way too cute. All in all, a quiet, gentle, comforting scent.
IvaPurlina – :
To me, this would be a beach perfume. The opening is suuuuper citrusy, not bergamot like listed but tangerines. Zesty, overpowering, uncomfortably strong tangerines. Dries down a little and the citrus lightens up, I just smell jasmine and coconut. Kind of sunscreen-y My boyfriend says it smells like oats and brown sugar. I had such high hopes for this cute little perfume! I am guessing my skin chemistry just doesn’t work with it because I am not getting any of the notes listed and reading other reviews, nobody else is smelling what I’m getting here.
NekroHimera – :
This is the only fragrance that is a constant compliment getter. One of the few fragrances in my wardrobe that gets noticed. A truly gorgeous scent.
wwi488Diobtetty – :
I love, love, love this scent. It was one of my few favorites that truly takes me away every time I smell it. For me, it goes on more sweet at first but as it sits on the skin begins to get darker and the suntan lotion-type smells begin to come out. By the end of the day there is a musky, powdery hint remaining. I’m not a fan of sillage that runs out 6ft and then stabs your nostrils, so this scent is perfect to me. Enough for someone standing near to smell, but not enough to make them sneeze. I love the hint of nostalgia this scent evokes and have even met a fellow addict of this scent who identified me in a shop by the smell. I’m all about lower key small brand perfumes that don’t make your eyes sting but still give you visual impressions and pangs of nostalgia. This hits it all.
andrewshka007 – :
While honey is not one of the listed notes, honey is what I get from Lollia Wish. Perhaps it is the combination of amber, sugar, vanilla, and jasmine that creates a soft, floral sweetness. I agree with this smelling like a sugared pastille; it is just a bit powdery from the rice flower and sugar notes, but very feminine and polished. A nice way to opt for gourmand without tumbling down the slippery syrupy slope of Fantasy or Pink Sugar. Now if this scent had just a whisper of cardamom or clove, it would be perfect in my book, but as is, it is rather lovely.
Elena050184 – :
Luscious mixture of bergamot and vanilla with just a hint of cinnamon.
I haven’t got much to say about this scent, except that it’s absolutely divine! One of my new favs!
Sillage and longevity are outstanding!
♥♥♥♥♥
Edit: In the far dry down the scent becomes warmer with much more cinnamon. Really good!!!
pavlyuk4 – :
smells like a classy cotton candy
etalon – :
Mmm, I love this. It’s such an unusual and craveable concoction; ylang ylang, cinnamon, and the sweetest powdery vanilla. Gorgeous! ‘Sugared Pastille’ is such an elegant and accurate description for this. I feel like Marie Antoinette in the gardens of the Trianon for some reason when I wear this. Maybe because it’s such a decadent confection, and yet it doesn’t feel like a party fragrance, it feels more like a secret indulgence. Exquisite. I have the Little Luxe bottle of this. Great size to try before a splurge and very pretty, decorated with little bees and gold leaf. I will buy full size on this one next time and enjoy every spray!
Captiva – :
Sad story…I bought this living in Seattle, I smelled it walking through a boutique and had to have it. It was creamy, powdery and the floral notes kept it smelling fresh! A year later after moving to California it had been forgotten and I tested it again…what on earth had I just sprayed? Had my taste changed or had it possibly turned? I saved it for cooler weather under the assumption that the damper Seattle climate had flattered it and it just didn’t adjust well to the heat of a California summer. I was wrong, it smelled so sticky and intense, very cloying regardless of the season. What a headache inducing syrupy smell – the jasmine was overpowering. I am not recommending against it necessarily as it was very pleasant when it was first purchased and I cant be sure if I was crazy when I bought it or if my bottle had quickly expired. Try before you buy, or consider buying small quantities in case the shelf life is generally as bad as my bottle?
faraon27 – :
Uncompromising sweet confection rolled in cinammon spice. It is lovely. My daughter wears this one and it smells lovely on her. I find it very powerful on myself though, probably because I’m not really a sweetie pie kinda gal, and don’t like being a wasp magnet. Saying that, I can’t not have some lying around. It’s a curiously addictive little gem, completely unique, smells like nothing else. Plenty of ylang ylang to keep the flower fans happy, which has the heavy bottom kicked out of it by the lighter aspects, one supposes of milk and rice flower. I got no amber at all from this, but the absent stickiness of amber is more than compensated for by the sweetness. Jolly Good show.
bosss777 – :
When I first spray it…I get a whiff of rice milk and lemon. Then after that, it settles down to a vanilla milk type scent. Like what melted ice cream smells like. Its a very nice scent as well. The packaging for it is simply divine. It comes in a nice little canvas/burlap type bag and the bottle itself is beautiful.
well73 – :
The bottle says “sugared pastille” and for once Margot Elena is being quite literal. Wish does smell really good, like the inside of a candy shop or an ice cream parlor. I really can’t smell anything other than burnt sugar and vanilla. I think the wish shower gel and lotion would be lovely, but as a perfume it’s a just too intensely candy. A little dot under some of my other perfumes works well, though. And I like the way it smells on things like my winter coat and wool scarf. A little dot on these items lasts for days. I may use most of the rest of my tiny bottle as a fabric refresher!
Natalval – :
To me this is sticky sugar sugar SUGAR. It has a sunny disposition, like white/yellow sugar melting on a toddler’s fingers in the heat of a summer day. Not my thing, but I imagine it would be great to sweeten up a darker fragrance without adding complexity.
RomeoCV – :
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. : )
gene1976gene – :
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.
alfons31rus – :
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…
Vladimirg – :
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.
-=игорь=- – :
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!
stanislav84 – :
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 Glow. I was also shocked by the pepper note in it, as I don’t smell even a hint of pepper or spice.
Giovanni999 – :
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.
LDE1983 – :
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
Corps_Anal – :
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.
vaster – :
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 😮
Sergey25666 – :
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.
Menvd037bedyWelty – :
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.!!
Sokyarrorkege – :
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.
avalon93 – :
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.
ClimaLight – :
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. =(
torrentinno – :
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!
avenger249 – :
Carried at “Anthropolgie” in the store (usually sold out) or on their website on line. Isn’t this heavenly!

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!
