Eau My Giddy God - Lolita Lempicka - L De Lolita Lempicka - EDP



Hullo Ladies,

I've been a lover of perfume for a long time now and I always find that most of the time the bottle of a perfume is what drags you towards it in a store. 



Most of the time you can tell what a perfume is like by it's bottle design. This perfume however is definitely a curve ball. When looking at it I immediately thought it was going to be fresh and aquatic but low and behold this is a giant spicebomb! 

I've heard a few things about the Lolita Lempicka perfumes, they seem to be very love/hate.

After looking at the notes on Fragrantica, I decided to give " L" a try. 




This perfume was launched  in 2006  and is part of the Oriental Vanilla Group. The notes of this perfume are:


TOP – Bergamot, Bitter Orange
MIDDLE – Musk, Cinnamon, Immortelle

BASE – Sandalwood, Vanilla, Tonka Bean



The whole base of this perfume is something I've grown to realise that I love in perfumes. Sadly though, I don't notice them a lot throughout this fragrance. What I do notice is the strong smell of cinnamon which I love but can't wear constantly. I have to be in the mood to wear this fragrance which makes me regret buying the big bottle.

 I'm glad I tried it but It's not one I'd re-purchase.

I did use it throughout the winter though, I sprayed it on my scarfs and I loved how that toasty warmth would cuddle me up while I was out braving the horrible winter weather. 

If you're a big lover on strong, spicy scents, ones that especially include cinnamon then I say give this a try! 

Hope your all having a great weekend!

Having The Flu = Late Night Perfume Shopping :-)

Hullo lovely Ladies!

This last week I've been suffering with a bad case of flu, i've basically just spent it in bed, eating soup, watching movies and shopping online. 


I've re-watched every Tim Burton and Mel Brooks Movie that I own. 

My Favourite movie from all of them is Young Frankenstein which I make sure to watch every halloween. It's such a funny movie. With so many amusing and memorable quotes.

Igor: Dr. Frankenstein... 
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: "Fronkensteen." 
Igor: You're putting me on. 
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: No, it's pronounced "Fronkensteen." 
Igor: Do you also say "Froaderick"? 
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: No... "Frederick." 
Igor: Well, why isn't it "Froaderick Fronkensteen"? 
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: It isn't; it's "Frederick Fronkensteen." 
Igor: I see. 
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: You must be Igor. 
[He pronounces it ee-gor
Igor: No, it's pronounced "eye-gor." 
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: But they told me it was "ee-gor." 
Igor: Well, they were wrong then, weren't they? 

Qoute taken from imdb.com

So like many women out there...I also seem to be spending most of my time when I'm sick, online shopping. 

I've been wanting to pick up a Lolita Lempicka perfume for a long time now. 

The bottles look amazing and the fragrance notes sound just right for me. 


The perfume I picked was L de Lolita Lempicka.

As a blind buy I was worried that I was going to hate it but after spending a week reading reviews and analyzing the notes I decided that it definitely sounded like a fragrance for me and took the chance.


The box it came in is fabulous! 


The packaging is stunning and I love the fact it has a " L" charm as it just makes it seem more personal for me!! 

The scent isn't what you may expect though....I'll make sure to do a special review soon to tell you all about it! 


So there you go!

Hope you're all having a good week...I'm off to drown myself in cough medicine!
