Cult Beauty shoppers are raving over a 'masterpiece' perfume that exudes cool girl energy. The fragrance, Lola at Coat Check, is priced at £130 for a 50ml bottle, but first-time shoppers can get it for £111 with discount code FIRST15. At Cult Beauty, it also comes with a sample of Discothèque Next to Me or Nothing.
Fragrance Notes and Inspiration
Lola at Coat Check opens with notes of pink pepper, cardamom, and grapefruit. The heart features a unique twist with white chocolate alongside floral notes of jasmine, lily, and orris. It then dries down to a base of sandalwood, cedarwood, amber, and vetiver. The scent is inspired by 1992 in New York, and the Discothèque website provides a detailed backstory for the namesake Lola. According to the brand: "They came for a secret show and met the girl with secrets. There were whispers on lips from behind velvet ropes, but her name was only uttered in love letters or curses. She was Lola. She would take your coat. She would hang it, and slip inside its pocket a small white chocolate, a surprise for 4am."
Praise from Shoppers and Fragrance Expert
At Cult Beauty, Lola at Coat Check has garnered glowing reviews. One shopper said: "I'm completely obsessed with this fragrance. It is perfect during the day and feels so sexy I wear it into the night. I can't stop breathing this in all day long when I'm wearing it. I just love love love it!" Another called it a 'masterpiece' and wrote: "Complex, gorgeous, woody, with just a tad bit of sweetness. It makes me feel like I’m the most interesting person in the room. I couldn’t even count the amount of asks I got both times I’ve worn this." A third shopper described it as both wonderful and mysterious: "This perfume is wonderful. It smells sweet with caramel and vanilla, yet also very dark, mysterious and sophisticated. I think it will perform really well in the heat too. Definitely a gorgeous evening scent!" Our team fragrance expert Jada Jones has tried this fragrance and said: "This is such a 'cool girl' fragrance. It has a little sweetness from the white chocolate but I wouldn't say it's the sweetness that takes centre stage. It's woody and spicy, very sexy and has a je ne sais quoi feel to it that I can see being very popular with fans of Glossier You looking for something a little more niche."
Comparison and Availability
For those who aren't ready to part with over £100, the perfume is also available in an 8ml travel size for £37 directly from the brand. The scent is expected to appeal to fans of scents like Angels' Share By Kilian (£210 for 50ml), a warm spicy scent that brings together cognac, oak, and candied almond, or Maison Margiela's Jazz Club (£62 for 30ml), similarly inspired by a boozy New York environment with notes of tobacco, rum, and pink pepper.
