Au Masculin

Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin dupe, inspired by the original

Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin is a distinctive aromatic gourmand for men, built around anise, licorice and a warm, sweet tonka base, quirky and comforting at once. Our interpretation carries that character in a long lasting Eau de Parfum, made in the EU.

The Story Behind the Scent

Lolita Lempicka made its name with the sweet, licorice tinged feminine Lolita Lempicka, and Au Masculin brought that signature to a men’s scent. It was designed to be unusual and memorable, a gourmand masculine at a time when most were fresh or woody.

Ivy, anise and basil open it green and aromatic with a distinctive liquorice edge, violet, licorice and a touch of rum warm the heart, and a base of vanilla, tonka bean and cedar keeps it sweet, cosy and long lasting. It smells like a warm, aniseed sweet with a green freshness, quirky but very wearable.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

We do not claim this is identical, because no interpretation is. What we have built follows the same aromatic gourmand signature of the original, rebuilt at up to 40% perfume oil so it projects clearly early on and lingers longer than a typical spray. A little goes a long way, and it unfolds slowly through its top, heart and base over many hours.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who likes a warm, sweet, slightly unusual masculine gourmand. It is at its best in autumn and winter and in the evening, comforting and distinctive.
