Le Premier Parfum Lolita Lempicka: Between sin and indulgence, the little apple turns heads. A renowned creator in the world of haute couture, Lolita Lempicka also left her mark on perfumery with Le Premier Parfum.
Le Premier Parfum Lolita, released in 1997, is, as its name indicates, the first fragrance from the Lolita Lempicka house. On the subject, she states that she invented her first fragrance by drawing on her most distant memories, to capture the intense moment when the child awaits becoming a woman. Le Premier Parfum de Lolita thus embodies the full complexity of being a woman, highlighting several facets of femininity, such as beauty, strength, sensitivity and softness. Le Premier Parfum Lolita is a fairy-tale essence that carries the wearer into a wonderful tale.
Enchantment according to Annick Ménardo
To create this magical fragrance, Lolita Lempicka called on Annick Ménardo. Ménardo was born in Cannes and originally wanted to become a psychiatrist. But after studying medicine, she turned to biochemistry and chemistry, developing a passion for scents. After joining the prestigious perfumery school ISIPCA, Annick Ménardo was hired by the Créations Aromatiques group and later by Firmenich. Ménardo's style is contemporary and avant-garde. She is behind many fragrances, such as Kokorico by Jean-Paul Gaultier, Hypnotic Poison by Dior, and several Lolita Lempicka fragrances. To create Lolita Lempicka's first fragrance, Annick Ménardo chose a composition that is sensual, gourmand and addictive, very close to the personality of the young Lolita, since this first fragrance bears her name, and thus a part of her intimacy.
The indulgence of Le Premier Parfum de Lolita
Le Premier Parfum de Lolita offers absolute fairy-tale tonalities, as if one were walking through an enchanted forest, encountering different scents and emotions with each step. Le Premier Parfum Lolita blends an accord of licorice with anise, ivy, violet, iris, tonka bean, musks, and an ultra gourmand accord thanks to the presence of amarena cherry, praline and vanilla. Le Premier Parfum de Lolita opens with the freshness and spontaneity of star anise seeds, which combine with the tangy lightness of pineapple and lemon. Violet then lends its full beauty and elegance, bringing great femininity to the whole. The heart is both gourmand and floral, combining lily of the valley, jasmine and rose with licorice and praline, while iris adds a delicate powdery tonality. The base is sensual, though not without a touch of indulgence. Indeed, the base notes combine vanilla, tonka bean, almond and white musks. The apple-shaped bottle assures that Le Premier Parfum de Lolita is indeed a forbidden fruit…
To create her first fragrance, Lolita Lempicka called on Annick Ménardo. The latter conceived an enchantment of indulgence and sensuality, worthy of a modern-day fairy tale.
