Si Lolita Eau de Minuit by Lolita Lempicka for women

I like it, but I would love it without the patchouli.

It opens with a light floral burst very reminiscent of the original Si Lolita, then dries down to a warm spiced patchouli. It reminds me of a less-expensive version of a few other things. (Not that it smells cheap; it just has a bit less depth.) Very nice, very good longevity.

This perfume is a sweet (not too,) soft, powdery, feminine, oriental/floral. It is pretty linear to me, but nicely enjoyable. Patchouli is most prominent right off the bat (I think that's 'me', though,) and is well smoothed out by the vanilla, so it doesn't go too earthy or heavy. The sweet pea is so cute! Here, she's constant from beginning to end, but not as well known as other notes make themselves. This makes this fragrance more on the oriental side with barely-there musk, and, therefore, not so floral. The amber is soft and light, but surprisingly spunky! Who would have known?!

The overall scent is not very woodsy, but still is a classy, romantic, sensual, warm touch on my skin! I would have ranked it with 4 stars if it was just a bit more woody, but it's VERY nice indeed!
