/ 10 community score
Marc Jacobs Lola receives mixed-to-negative reception from the r/fragrance community, primarily due to its heavy sweetness turning rancid or cloying on many wearers' skin. While some nostalgic users loved it as their signature scent, multiple community members report poor skin chemistry compatibility where the perfume smells unpleasantly sweet or even sour. The fragrance's discontinuation has made it difficult to find or test before purchasing.
