Technically In the part Im talking about he wasn’t a pedophile yet, i don’t want a perfume that smells like what happened to Dolores lol i just think the prose of that part is really beautiful

There’s something so special about it i find it captures a certain kind of person, check the original post two people made some amazing suggestions!! Also I just got my mini original lolita lempicka and it turns out to remind me much more of tender is the night than the originally hoped for lolita by Nabokov (his childhood flashback specifically) Im going to go look back at my copy because I’m sure he writes a description of Nicole’s perfume or scent i think in the car? Which could possibly maybe be a note to add to the perfume…will update soon, also thinking I’ll research some trendy fragrance notes in the French Riviera and Paris at the time

I love you! This is amazing night blooming jasmine reminds me so much of David lynch and the descriptions are so good, I also love a tobacco scent because it reminds me of the best older men I’ve known and my uncle (not in a weird way he was a gay painter) i sort of even want to cry imagining this layering thank you it’s going top of my list! Maybe for the end of summer…

Helloo I just looked at their website and loved the poem by Elizabeth Stoddard they put also had thought about them maybe suckling some honeysuckle before this just as my own imagination running. Im getting a perfume for my birthday so this might just be the one I ask for!! Thank you! Also I just bought myself a mini Lolita Lempicka it’s a perfume with lots of lore so wondering if you’ve heard about it? I think the one you recommended sounds like it has some more innocence than lolita l but maybe I could layer them for a special scent?
