Osafume vs Lolita Lempicka

The r/fragrance community has a strong positive view of Olympic Orchids, praising Ellen Covey's artistic approach and exceptional pricing. While the fragrances are noted as unconventional and polarizing, the community appreciates their complexity and diversity, with most recommending sampling before full purchases. The brand is respected for quality execution and direct artist support.

The community acknowledges Lolita Lempicka as a beloved discontinued classic, but the new reformulations are widely viewed as hollow shadows of the original. Multiple comparisons confirm the new version lacks the rich, dark anise and tonka backbone that gave the original its soul, with reformulation driven by IFRA regulations and EU bans (particularly Lilial). While some new wearers find the current version acceptable, those familiar with the original consistently report the fragrance feels weaker, brighter, and less complex.
