From Lolita Lempicka, Le Parfum in the annual holiday limited edition: "Le Parfum is one of those famous fragrances whose perfume is instantly recognizable. A gourmet and ultra-sensual accord of licorice and violet sublimated by a surprising note of anise, voluptuously highlighted by a cloud of musk. Surrounded by its garland of ivy leaves, enamelled in white and gold, the famous apple is adorned by a heart pierced with an arrow on a golden liquorice wood. To celebrate Christmas, Lolita Lempicka offers every year a new decor to its iconic bottle. These limited editions invite us to discover new chapters in the fairytale." At Lolita Lempicka, €117 for 100 ml.
