Has anyone tried Lola?

[cindygenit]

Its a new perfume by Marc Jacobs... I am getting a sample this afternoon. I want to know what others think about this one!

 

[arjunajane]

Hey Cindy,

I went to purchase it the other day but the store didn''t have any in yet!
I really like it and think it will be perfect for summer (smells girly and floral to me).

TBH, I''ve been wanting a new fragrance for ages - and haven''t liked anything since the first Prada.

I''ve smelt Lola in a couple magazines and liked it alot

Let me know your thought when you get the sample!

 

[Lorelei]

Sweet rose/ fruity - pleasant fragrance which would work well for summer.

 

[cindygenit]

Okaaaayyyy I have it in my hot little hands right now...

Hmmmm The top pear and grapefruit notes are nice, but i don''t think i like the rose/musky/vanilla base note.

Which is really strange because I LOVE Bvlgari Rose Essentielle. I thought I''d like anything rosy...LOL

YEP, definitely not for me...Its making me nauseaus!

I swear I have the most temperamental nose.

 

[arjunajane]

Lol - nauseous! That's a pretty strong reaction Cindy.

Can I ask what fragrance you had/have before this?

I was actually surprised I liked it - my prior fragrances are ones like Armani Code and Prada, which are quite different to the Jacobs ones imho.

Give it time to dry down if you haven''t already done so, make your final judgement after wearing it for an hour or so.

AJ, I actually fainted from smelling Red Door before. A lady was wearing TOO MUCH of it and I got a huge sniff and fell to the floor like a sack of potatoes

Also, I have Shine by Salvatore Ferragamo which I loved, when I first got it, and now everytime I wear it, I always get a headache.

I have a lot of perfume actually:
1. Britney Curious
2. Escada Sexy Graffiti (my most favourite scent and my first -limited edition unfortunately)
3. Chanel Coco Mademoiselle
4. Bvlgari Rose Essentielle
5. Gucci Envy Me
6. Diesel Fuel for Life
7. Burberry The Beat
8. Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb
9. YSL Babydoll
10. YSL Babydoll Honeymoon Edition
11. Ralph Lauren Cool

Hmmm out of all my perfumes, I wear the Babydoll, Flowerbomb, and Mademoiselle the most

TRUE!!!

Flowerbomb is so sickly sweet I love it!

Babydoll is a bit more flowery.

And Mademoiselle is just so luxurious... I want to bathe in it

 

[Lorelei]

I liked Mademoiselle but it wasn''t for me, I prefer No 22 and No 5 for me.

 

[cindygenit]

Lorelei, do you think I would like No.5 or No.22? Honestly, I have never smelled either one! LOL I know, i know... its like committing a perfume crime, Chanel No.5 is iconic! hhaha

 

[Deelight]

I adore flowerbomb the vanilla honey one not the citrus one it is on too buy list


cindy I didn''t like Lola too much either however for summer I got DKNY pink (I think it is call fresh blossom) so fresh, flowery fruity and clean

My nose has gone weird lately or my skin I used to adore pleasures exotic on me and now it smells like

maybe not that bad but not good.

 

[cindygenit]

oh there''s a citrus one?

My best friend bought me the Flowerbomb for my bday this year so I didn''t actually pick it myself.

If you try No 5 then make sure to try either the parfum or eau de parfum, the eau de toilette is very different to these and doesn't smell as good to me. Also you could try the No 5 Elixir which is the gel form of No 5, it is very light and pretty. If you find the parfum or EDP too heavy you might well love the Elixir!

No 22 is only available from Chanel boutiques, it is a powdery incense, very elegant and quite ' sharp' to the nose, beautiful fragrance.

I don''t like Lola at all, but I love his other perfumes.
