The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2008, Fleur Defendue by Lolita Lempicka is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance for women, crafted by the renowned perfumer Annick Ménardo. The composition begins with mimosa and wormwood, providing a fresh green contrast before settling into a heart of violet, peony, and iris. The base notes of almond, cherry, and musk add a sweet, nutty warmth that makes this fragrance both comforting and intriguing.
Fleur Defendue's top notes fade quickly, so layering is key for a lasting effect. Apply it to pulse points and allow the base notes to develop over time — you'll find that the almond and cherry add depth as the day progresses.
