Happy Chopard Lemon Dulci

Lovely. Even if I own a hundred fresh citrus frags, I am always happy to bring a new one in my collection. Lemon Dulci is, quite obviously, about lemon and citruses but not done in a classic cologne way. I find it feminine because there is a sort of sweet tenderness to it. Starts as a lemony, green mint (lots of mint!) blast, green herbs like juniper or Rosemary. Lovely, fresh but not harsh. Balsamic. I call it the Spa phase! Smells like aromatherapy! This phase subsides after some minutes to give way to a creamy, sweet lemon. That's the part where this fragrance becomes more feminine and gentle. Orange blossom peeks in. A tiny bit of freshly sliced mango. Just an echo in the background (...not a fruity mess i mean!). The base is rounded by the woods but stays zesty due to a sparkling ginger. You can feel citruses all along the way besides the other notes that pop up. This fragrance makes me feel good. I can understand the comparison to Girl in Capri (did a side by side comparison): they're in the same family but they're different. GiC is way more grapefruit than lemony and its heart is girly-fruity -dept. store like. Lemon dulci is niche quality and more mature oriented. Longevity is good (4 hours mark) for a Citrus based frag. Sillage is average; if you overspray you will get complimented, otherwise with a classical 2 sprays it will stay quiet. Ideal for summer and hot days when you need a fresh pick me up. The bottle is a luxury: solid, heavy quality glass shaped like a yellow topaz, the stopper is a aqua blue sphere made of glass (!), gold lettering, it's a remarkable item (I'm not always keen on commenting bottles, but this one is beautiful, really beautiful). Really happy to have splurged on this one and Bigaradia, to be reviewed soon!

The first burst of citrus in this is crisp, lemon fresh and summery in a very simple way and for a while I thought that was all it had to give and was rather disappointed. That was not the case. After 20/30 mins this really interacted with my skin and a beautifully warm sunny depth developed. The lemon and mint were joined and enriched by sumptuous orange notes of mandarin and orange blossom,apple and cucumber tempered with apple and mango that was followed ( fairly quickly!) by verdant Shiso and smooth ginger. These spicy notes stay strong into the second hour and then I was left with warm orange and woody notes like sweet cinnamon in the final hour. 3 hours, mild sillage...is that enough to purchase a big bottle or even a small one again? What it gives I like a lot. I plan to layer this as a topper for the ubiquitous 'D&G Blue' and also over 'Arran Aromatics Seasalt & Sage' body lotion....to boost its staying power... I'll update you.

Vaya vaya! Que sorpresa. Lo acabo de comprar a ciegas y me encanta. Soy fan de light blue de DG y esta es la versión en limón. Huele a limonada fresca, como cuando exprimes un limón y el aceite queda en tus manos. Es dulcita, fresca y se siente el hint de manzana (así como con light blue). Leyendo los comentarios me decidí y estoy super contenta. Me lo puse hace 1 hora y tiene potencia y estela. Huele delicioso, huele a verano. El precio está muy bueno también, $21 en Amazon. Sin duda lo compro de nuevo. ........ Es el día después, la fragancia duró 5 horas, luego a ras de piel. En la ropa se quedó, mi sudadera tiene aun un suave aroma. Mi hijo me estuvo diciendo que huele a pastelito de limón (panettone) y es cierto. Ha evolucionado, siento que se parece mucho a DG Devotion EDP.

Such a yummy scent. It smells like a delicious lemon, mint sherbet. It’s bright and zesty to start and it eventually dries down to a lovely bright happy, powdery, soapy scent. It really is lovely and uplifting. I don’t usually enjoy soapy scents but this one is so bright and happy in an elegant grown up way. It’s long lasting and non offensive. Personally I feel that this is not a very summery fragrance. It is fresh but the powdery soapiness makes me feel that it’s nicer for Autumn or winter. Or maybe the office in an air conditioned environment where the skin is cool. I don’t see this as a scent for the sweaty humidity of summer, I love the bottle, such a beautiful heavy glass bottle and lid. Looks beautiful on the perfume tray.

One of the most underrated gems I’ve ever owned. Lemon Dulci is sunshine in a bottle, its bright, crisp, and quietly elegant. I’ve always wondered why Chopard scents don’t get more love... because honestly? They deserve it. I’ve had most of them in my collection, and even my husband is a fan of the house. With notes of lemon, bergamot, mango, ginger, orange blossom, cucumber and mint, it bursts open like a joyful morning. So fresh, so happy, so alive. I finished my bottle far too quickly and every spritz takes me back to beautiful days spent exploring Dallas, Austin, and Houston. It holds memories of my vacation in texas, warm breezes, and carefree smiles. - Bhavna Darira Chesan
