Marc Jacobs’ newest perfume is called Lola and despite the fact I haven’t so much as caught a whiff of it yet, I’m already in love.

Can we start with the gorgeous packaging? I am totally sold on the bottle alone. Yes, I know it’s stupid to buy perfume based on the bottle, but I can’t help it. It’s just so unique and pretty.

Then there is the name. Lola. I love that name so much. I love it so much I even have an animal called that. It means “sorrows” in Spanish and is quite a beautiful and poetic name.

Then there is the fact that Marc Jacobs has never produced a perfume that I don’t like. The original is still the best for me, but Daisy and Blush are nice too. Marc Jacobs Lola, however, sounds like something else altogether, thanks to the base notes of pink peppercorn, pear, and ruby red grapefruit; the midnotes of rose, fuschia peony and geranium, and the top notes of vanilla, tonka bean and musk.

I can’t wait to get to a Myer store to check it out. A 50ml bottle of Marc Jacobs Lola costs $120.
