Launched in 1997 by Lolita Lempicka and created by Annick Menardo and Christian Dussoulier, this fragrance is a Floral Fruity Gourmand that quickly became iconic. Known for its apple-shaped bottle inspired by the 'forbidden fruit' story, it stands out not just for its design but also for its distinctive licorice-anise-violet gourmand accord. This composition has built a devoted fanbase, who protested against a 2010s reformulation and bottle redesign, leading to a return to something closer to the original formula in 2021.

Application Tips
Two sprays provide ample presence; the licorice-anise opening is sharp but short-lived, giving way to a rich base that blooms over an hour. This fragrance reads better close to skin than across a room, so aim for pulse points and layer with a light touch.
