Lolita Lempicka Eau de Minuit 2012 Lolita Lempicka 2012

Here comes a fragrance that already has many from this line (one per year). Lolita Lempicka Midnight. Currently, I only know this scent (from a sample), so I can't compare the fragrances for now. In any case, Midnight 2012 is a beautiful scent with powdery notes that has the peculiarity of having a slightly stronger sillage at the beginning than other powdery fragrances, making it quite suitable as an evening scent.

The fragrance:
According to the fragrance pyramid or the clicked fragrance components, myrrh is supposed to smell the strongest in the top note. However, I can perceive the iris better at the beginning. The slightly resinous-smoky myrrh, on the other hand, is clearly in the background. Only after a few minutes does the myrrh become a bit stronger, and only from the heart note does it slowly take the lead. Then it also appears significantly warmer and more balsamic.
Additionally, the fragrance then gains a sweet component from the jasmine. The floral-sweet scent seems to also emit slight fruity notes.
Later in the base, the myrrh/iris combination remains along with sweet notes. The vanilla is present, but it is not as strong as one might think. At the end, there are also resinous notes.

The longevity and sillage:
The longevity is about six hours; after that, the fragrance is still present but in a significantly weaker state.
The sillage is good, but I don't find it as strong as the reviews here suggest (well, maybe it is if you really spray heavily). Nevertheless, it is well perceivable and radiates nicely. And for a powdery fragrance, I find it quite well made.

The bottle:
The bottle has the typical shape of almost all Lempicka fragrances and is apple-shaped. This bottle is dark violet and has golden Lolita Lempicka lettering on it. The leaf patterns are somewhat less visible on this dark bottle than on other Lolita bottles. The spray head is also dark and not gilded and looks, as always, like the stem of an apple. To spray, one presses down on the stem.
A very original and nicely designed bottle.

This Lempicka is a very nice fragrance that smells beautifully of iris and myrrh as well as light, fruity notes. Of course, I currently have no other comparison with other fragrances from this line and therefore cannot list any differences. But especially because of the wonderful scent here, I have become interested in testing the other fragrances at some point as well.

Additionally, with such a fragrance, the question always arises whether it is worth buying if you already have one or more "feel-good" fragrances with iris and/or powdery notes on your shelf. Everyone has to decide that for themselves; however, this fragrance has an advantage over most fragrances that are used as feel-good scents: This Lempicka, due to its stronger sillage, is very well suited as a pleasant evening fragrance and will therefore smell excellent on women. But even though I have been talking about "strong sillage" the whole time, this only applies in comparison to many other powdery fragrances in the "feel-good scents" category. So don't expect anything bombastic.

A test is always recommended if you should see this version somewhere!
