Lola

Lola by Marc Jacobs is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2009 in the designer price tier. It opens with pink pepper, pear and grapefruit, moves into peony, rose and geranium and dries down to vanilla, tonka bean and musk. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.
Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.

Heart

Peony Pink, watery and slightly peppery. Modern and inoffensive.
Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.

Dry-down

Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
