Wish vs Lolita Lempicka

Chopard Wish is beloved by its community as a distinctive, compliment-generating signature fragrance with a unique fruity-floral profile featuring prominent jasmine and vanilla notes. However, the fragrance suffers from significant availability issues, particularly in the UK, with many bottles found online appearing spoiled or degraded, leading users to seek alternatives. Despite these challenges, those who own fresh bottles consider it a classic 90s powerhouse worth the effort to locate.

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.
