Crema Limone Extrait

Mind you, I tried this one and not the base one because I wanted a beast mode performance, or at least a fragrance that would last longer compared to the standard version. I tried this on paper and hand, and unfortunately it didn’t last as much as I expected on both of them (around only a couple hours before it disappeared). I am taking about the longevity first since this is the Extrait version. As for the smell, of course, I expected an actual photorealistic lemon custard cream, as the name says. And it does not disappoint; at least for the first minutes. In the opening it’s a deep and creamy citrusy scent, but it’s not as gourmand as one might expect. It’s very much on the perfumey side and it’s very very wearable. So if you want to smell sweet and like lemon and orange without necessarily smelling like an actual walking lemon cream, this is it. The issue comes with the dry down. It becomes very similar to dish soap due to the “perfume” side of it that kind of destroys the harmony for me. Overall I just wished it was much more gourmand and lemon cream-like. Rating: 6.5/10 🫧🍋
