I completely understand your frustration! A great blog for perfume fanatics, especially if you are searching for the unusual, is Glass Petal Smoke. (http://glasspetalsmoke.blogspot.com/)

I think there are two types of Lolita, forbidden fruit and forbidden flower. Even though mine is in an apple bottle also (It may be their signature vessel) it is a floral. I do not care for the fruit smells much. It must be the vintage gal in me! lol The 360 does not ‘stay’ with you long. It fades fast so perhaps some serious layering is needed. Have a great day!

Beth T: That is a great idea. I too have a little refillable travel bottle and I use that for all the small, splash fragrances I seem to end up with. At the moment it is carrying Clarins Eau Dynamistante (sp?)

Melissa: I love the Lolita Lempicka Bottle. When it first came out the fragrance was so new and innovative. There weren’t many of those fruit scents on the market. Of all those types it is still one of the best. I actually tried the Perry Ellis white the other day, and while it was divine in the bottle, it didn’t seem to like my skin and rebelled.

I’ve got a nice atomizer (refillable) sitting on my dresser as a decoy for my real method, which is a drawer full of sample vials. A whole bottle is too much money and committment for me right now, but FragranceX.com (despite being pretty unglamorous) has 1 ml sample vials for just about everything at $2 or $3 a pop. Which means that I can get 2 or 3 things that have been recommended to me plus a few impulse buys, for less than I would have paid on just one. And if I find I like one of them a lot, I can give it a thorough trial run.

After wearing hte sam fragrances for a while (because I sold from that product line) I found myself free to choose and my hubby and I went on a shopping spree. !. Lolita Lempicka; forbidden fruit- soft floral with a powdery note. Great for day and bed time. 2. Perry Ellis 360 white; great day scent-A sensational blend of green mandarin, bamboo leaf, that is blended into a beautiful blend of white peppercorns, cardamom. The heart develops into orchid, orange florals and finishing off with amber,musk and vanilla.
and last; Angel Star by Terry Mugler- stats out smelling like Allure for men by Chanel but ends up a soft, floral scent great for evening. A lady should have scents for day and scents for evening.

Yes! I agree with everyone who recommended Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab. If you want a retro-ish scent you might like Black Dahlia or Penny Dreadful.

Anastasia: Aren’t they wonderful! $400 for 40ml might be a bit out of my range though… Still it appears worth a visit just for the experience.
Death butterfly: That sounds delicious! I can’t wait to try all of these!
