Posted by Robin on 25 September 2023 12 Comments

From Lolita Lempicka, Le Parfum in the annual holiday limited edition: "The famous apple invites us to discover a new chapter of its fairy tale. For this limited-edition launch, the bottle takes on a midnight blue shade adorned with sparkling golden lines shining under a star shower." In preview at Lolita Lempicka, €134 for 100 ml.

    I have been an avid collector of the Xmas limited editions but according to Fragrantica there hasn’t been a specific Xmas L.E. since 2015. There have been reworkings of the original fragrance in slightly modified bottles for year-round sales.

      They did an almost-black one once that was really pretty too.

        I loved that one too, wasn’t it Minuit Sonne or something like that?

          I don’t know if they used the name more than once, but the Minuit Sonne in 2014 was more lavenderish.

          I think I was remembering 2010:

          Or 2013:

          Or ! (there were more black bottles than I thought) 2011:

    I remember when everyone was taking about this perfume and bottle (the LE is just slightly different than the regular bottle). Has LL even put out anything new in the last several years? I used to have and enjoy the L de Lolita but swapped it away at some point…

      They have one called Lolitaland from about 5 years ago. ( or yesterday, I don’t understand time anymore. Lol) I have only seen it online.

      They’ve gone through some licensing and distribution changes, and seem to have slowed down on releases. So far as I know this was their last 2:

    It’s nice to see that they have returned to the original apple-shaped bottle with the stem sprayer. The geometric ones with the ivy bas relief and regular sprayer were not collectible, IMO. I think the stem sprayers must’ve been destroyed on testers, hence the change.
