Imagine vs Lolita Lempicka

Lollia Imagine is a well-liked coconut fragrance with an attractive aesthetic that has built a loyal following, though the brand is difficult to source. The recent reformulation with a new blue label has some customers concerned about whether the scent remains consistent with the beloved original version from the 2000s.

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.
