Like in a fairy tale
The first splash of "L" caused me a direct olfactory shock that only a few perfumes have managed so far. A positive one beyond all measure! With this fragrance it is difficult for me to smell out individual components, because the components for me fit together into a difficult to describe whole. I'll try it anyway:
For me, the fragrance begins with a bombastic, bitter and yet sweet bitter orange. After the top note has faded, "L" develops on my skin: I mainly perceive spicy vanilla and cinnamon notes in addition to musk. In between, the scent on my skin becomes sometimes sweetly powdery and plastic-like (reminds me of plastic dolls). In the last few hours a salt note appears more strongly on my skin next to the warm, powdery gourmand notes, which in my opinion harmonizes very nicely with the other notes, makes the scent a bit more angular in a very interesting way and gives it depth.
The bottle goes very well with the fragrance because it really reminds me of a small, mysterious, dreamy mermaid. It is by no means an aquatic scent, as the connotation of "sea" might suggest.
For me in any case a leisure scent, because it would be a bit too heavy and conspicuous for me in a professional setting.
One of the most interesting, complex and enchanting fragrances I have ever smelt. Too bad it's no longer available.

L de Lolita Lempicka-My Own Midsummer Night's Dream
This is a delightful Lolita. Classified as an oriental vanilla fragrance, it's more complex than the eight notes it contains. They wax and wane so well to a drydown that manages to mystify a lot of followers.
Within minutes, I was transformed to a burning campfire in the deep, dark woods, surrounded by tall, dark evergreens. I was sitting on a tree stump, smelling the wood and twigs I had collected to burn and watch dance in the fire's embers. There was moss underfoot and it is my own Midsummer Night's Dream.
I could smell marshmallows and little night flowers. This is not a sweet scent to me, but a warm scent that brings to mind not food, but memories and places and dreams. It evokes thoughts of areas I've been to, of trips I've been on.
Perfumes give you sensory and olfactory experiences. L Lolita immediately put me into another time and place. I've had gourmand perfumes remind me of food, yes, but never had this type of experience happen so quickly. How interestingly and quickly it mixed with my chemistry. Its drydown stayed similar to its initial notes, just richer but softer.
Bergamot, immortelle, tonka bean and vanilla were the highlight notes for me. The scent lasted for at least 6 hours, happily well worth it. As with all of the Lolita bottles, very interesting, unique and pretty, although a bit cumbersome. This Lolita is my favorite so far.

My absolute favorite perfume
Years ago I got a tester and tried him directly. The whole train ride I hung on the spicy but at the same time sweetish scent. Quickly it was clear that must move in with me. The strawflower makes the fragrance very special, plus the mermaid bottle. Quasi as if you run across the stubble field ubd later seeks a cooling in the sea, the quality 1A.
Unfortunately, this fragrance was discontinued. There are similar fragrances but none smells as great as L

Christmas Candy in Greece
This is a review of a perfume I once used to love..
L de Lolita Lempicka has one of the prettiest bottles, the sea blue colour and the pretty charms just make it irresistible, so I was drown like a moth to a flame. The initial spray made me happy and exhilirated, it reminded me a lot of christmas time, I am guessing because of the cinnamon and honey notes, totally representing christmas desserts where do I live..and actually have weakness for.. So a little time later when I found a great deal on a bottle I jumped to it, apparently I had made a snap decision.. Becuase all the other times I tried L it failed to lift me up or either comfort me.. Sadly the drydown has too mucb vanilla and it is over sweet for my liking, sometimes making me nauseous.. If it was heavier on bergamot and orange might have been better.
Leaving my personal expirience behind, I can see this perfume to be very appealing to women, it is warm, it is cozy, it is sweet, it is wearable in every occassion in winter. Good idea, pretty bottle, not for me.

Christmas Cookie
L opens with a strong cinnamon. The orange adds some tartness and balances, makes the cinnamon so yummy. The drydown is mainly vanilla, but the cinnamon is slightly detectable and spices it up, to remind you this is not a whatever vanilla drydown but L by Lolita. I don't think it's a very complexe fragrance. But it's a wonderful mood lifter. It's so cheerful that it will light up a grey autumn or winter morning. And like some previous reviewers it reminds me so much of Christmas. As the longevity, it's 8h+ on me and the sillage can be huge for the opening, so beware.

Such an amazing scent. I'm so sad it's been discontinued! Cinnamon and salt and citrus, I wore the heck out of this when it was released.

Sweet gourmand delight: citrus, dried flowers, spices, vanilla. L is fun, cozy, edible and still delicate. Charming liquid in an ugly bottle

More linear than complex, but it is still wonderful! It is gourmand, but there is more there than just smelling like a dessert.
