"My fragrance is the statement of my fashion - Baroque and contemporary, curvaceous, with feminine details, " explained Lolita Lempicka.
So what does it smell like? It is classified as a fruity floral oriental fragrance for women. It was described as the "fruit of our dreams."
Not long after the fragrance was released, it won DCI's Package of the Year award for 1998. The award was attributed to the fact that women respond to the scent, whereas other perfumes or colognes on the market were released with the idea of attracting the opposite sex.

A little gilded metal charm in the shape of an ivy leaf hangs off the neck with the word "Original" engraved into it.
