Lolita Lempicka LolitaLand ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 18 September 2018 15 Comments

Lolita Lempicka has launched LolitaLand, a new fragrance for women. LolitaLand bills itself as a "vegan" perfume that invites you to celebrate nature, 'between dream and reality'.

LolitaLand was developed by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian. Notes feature bellini, mandarin, timut peppercorns, jasmine, peach, vanilla and white musk.

Lolita Lempicka LolitaLand is available now at Nocibe in France, in 40 and 80 ml Eau de Parfum.

      I actually have a hairspray that’s labeled gluten-free. You know, just in case you were thinking of eating it.

    The cap looks like a bambi snail with fairy wings. Oh I know why its vegan, this perfume was not tested on snails! Also looks like they swiped a Rousseau painting with a snail in it for their ad.

      You can see a close up of the cap here — I would say your description is accurate.

    Doesn’t really appeal to me…neither the notes or the bottle…but the “vegan” part and the bottle itself made me laugh :D

    I dunno. That close-up pic from above looks a little like a winged pig!

    At a semi-distracted first glance, the bottle looked a lot like Mon Guerlain’s.

    I’m vegan and am really happy that a mainstream house is releasing a vegan perfume. Happier still that it is Lolita Lempicka as I love their perfume style. It makes a nice change from Pacifica and Body Shop vegan perfumes. Here’s to more choice for animal free fragrances :)

      debbee, just so you know, we were not poking fun at the idea of a vegan perfume, it’s just that the vast majority of modern mainstream fragrances do not contain real animal derived ingredients, for the simple reasons that they are too expensive and/or scarce to use, and anyway most consumers these days prefer clean-smelling fragrances. It is harder right now to find a perfume with real animal ingredients than to find one without.

        Hi Robin, thanks for your kind comment! I’m a long-time reader of this blog. It is my first stop for perfume news :)
        I think that your point about the majority of modern mainstream perfumes not containing animal derived ingredients is a good one. Knowing this information, whether to continue purchasing mainstream perfumes I love is a point I have struggled with for years as a vegan. I love fragrances and becoming vegan did not change that, but I know so little about what goes into fragrances and the manufacturing process. I am uncertain whether most perfumes are ethical products? Can I buy them with a clear conscience? So having perfumes labelled “vegan” or “plant-based” is a huge help, but that does mean being limited to only a handful of brands.

          Gotcha. But I’m sure you already know that vegan does not necessarily mean plant-based, nor does it necessarily mean there was no animal testing.

          If it *is* plant-based, there are all sorts of unethical ways to make a plant-based perfume.

          If it isn’t, there are all sorts of ways in which synthetic perfumes (and this one is definitely at least partly synthetic) are bad for the environment — and thus animals — even without involving animal testing. Just do some searches on synthetic musks in soil and watersheds.

          I think many people also don’t understand that brands that promise not to test finished products on animals don’t generally promise that none of their ingredients are (or ever were) tested on animals. And most large fragrance & flavor companies (that make most fragrances on the market) are still, at best, “in the process” of phasing out animal testing. So when perfume companies say “that they don’t test on animals at any point during production, and neither do their suppliers or any third parties”, and their products are made by one of the big fragrance & flavor companies, I find this hard to swallow. More likely, they are only using components that were already judged to be safe in the past, via, you guessed it.

          Anyway, not trying to discourage you from buying ethical products, I’m just not sure how easy it is to do, or if I would put any faith in commercial brands that claim to be ethical / cruelty free.

          I object to the vegan label because it adds no new information and is misleading. To me, it is like putting a gluten free label on an apple.
