I bought it from Ecsentuals.com for £47.00 i.e around INR 4700. Although its on sale now, with 20% off, for £37.60 (INR 3800)!
Yea, I know..I should have waited..
It is a beautiful purple glass bottle, with "Lola Marc Jacobs" written on it with gold. The bottle, like all recent Marc Jacobs fragrances is whimsical and very attractive. It almost looks like a magical potion bottle. This is something every girl would like on top of her dresser, irrespective of the actual perfume.The cap is a big squishy plastic flower on top of a gold rope design cylindrical ring.
"This warm floral bouquet conveys the free spirit of today's sexy, modern girl - she is playful, cool, and flirtatious. The long-lasting, day-and-night scent opens with pink peppercorn, pear, and ruby red grapefruit. Blooming midnotes of rose, fuschia peony, and geranium make a feminine statement. Layers of vanilla, warm tonka bean, and creamy musk create a sensuous drydown.
The bottle's exquisite, multi-layered cap is a bursting bouquet with bright modern colors that pop against a matte black background and rope-inspired, gold metallic neck. The silhouette is inspired by Marc's fashion collection."
It took me three attempts to actually like this perfume. I think its an acquired smell. Initially, I hated the strong smell of pink pepper, which fro me , opens as the top note. But after using/trying it a few more times, I have come to appreciate it. Or maybe, it smells its best during fall/winter. It's just too rosy/spicy/vanillic for summers. So of course, I am loving it right now.
For me, it is definitely a night time fall/winter smell. But, hey! Use it as you like.
I relate rose, vanilla, spice and musk to winters, so for me that is how it works. It is strong and lasts much longer that my other Marc Jacobs ( Daisy).
This perfume kind of reminds me of Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Lovers Sunshine Cuties Music
which I loved. Although they have very different notes..
Right now, I am in love with this cutie. I lives on top of my dresser, along with its other designer friends... :)
The smell...hmmmm...I would call it a love hate relationship!..
Will I buy it again??...I think this is going to last me for quite some time as I have decided to use it only during autumn and winters. Plus I am pretty sure Mr. Jacobs will come up with something new and pretty soon... ;)
Till next post ladies!
