Lola
I’ve been dying to buy a new Marc Jacobs tote for spring, but sadly, my bag budget is definitely not going to allow that to happen. Luckily, I was able to console myself with a much more affordable Marc Jacobs product, his new fragrance, Lola.
Normally I’m not one for the floral scents, but Lola is really interesting and different. It opens with notes of pink peppercorn, pear, and ruby red grapefruit, so it’s almost fruity when I first spritz it on. The midnotes include geranium and rose, but it’s the notes that linger during the drydown that make the difference for me. They include layers of vanilla, warm tonka bean, and creamy musk and the combination is irresistible. It’s warm and modern, the kind of scent that’s perfect for the daytime, but can also transition into the evening. (One of my main problems with florals is that a lot of them remind me of something my grandmother would wear, but I’m definitely not thinking of support hose when I’m wearing Lola!) The bottle is gorgeous too – it’s a sheer purple with a multi-layered cap that’s made to look like a bursting floral bouquet with blue, purple and red petals. It looks so pretty sitting on top of my dresser and it’s a nice change from my normal routine of clean, fresh scents. If you’re looking for a sexy, romantic scent to spice up your fragrance wardrobe, give this one a try!
Available at Bloomingdale’s, Nordstrom, Dillard’s and Sephora.

I just received a bottle of Lola for Xmas and I agree – it’s lovely. And, the bottle is so pretty!
