What does Lola smell like?

The citrus brightness meets cola and turns into a gourmand sweetness. Pink pepper and nutmeg add spice, while orange blossom and tonka bean soften everything towards a powdery feel. Cherry wood gives the sweetness a light woody ground.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, though the small number of ratings makes this a tentative read. Voters place it most often in daily, leisure and office settings, with some votes for evening and nights out. It sits comfortably between masculine and feminine.
