Vanilla Lemon Gelato

Right off the bat- I get a refreshing burst of lemon and creamy vanilla... It's an inviting blast and the quality is very much present from the opening. I've read and heard much about the quantity & quality of perfume oil the founder infuses into his creations and this is very much evident from the very first blast that comes out.... That opening is so magical and so inviting that one ONLY wishes it would stay throughout ........ Don't get me wrong, it's not that the scent drastically changes- it's just that the initial blast and intoxicating opening fades ever so slightly.... The "Lemon Cream Pie"/"Lemon Gelato" vibe is very emblematic of what you're getting in this juice... DUA put together a seductive and very smooth mix of lemon and vanilla that is so well crafted and its unique among many others who try to pull this off in that it does not end up smelling like cleaning fluid, a room fragrance or some synthetic mess! Instead, we are left something that any man can and should wear.... Like that blue suit in your wardrobe, something like this oughta be a staple in your collection... One small caveat: DO NOT SPRAY ANY OF THE DUA FRAGRANCES DIRECTLY ON YOUR CLOTHES IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT LEAVING A STAIN.... The concentration of perfume oil is so rich that IT WILL leave its mark.... This is my lemon ice cream cone on those warm sunny days....... [9/10] Overall! Too bad they vaulted it and it's no longer available

Dua Fragrances Vanilla Lemon Gelato is, as expected, a strong burst of lemon and vanilla in creamy gourmand balance with one another. It's bright and sweet, though the lemon is overall more dominant than vanilla. The notes listing shows vanilla extract, though I get a far lighter vanilla experience overall, not a heavy cake-like or extract-like or boozy experience. It creates a a lighter (in terms of character, not strength) gourmand experience. Other listed notes include bergamot, orchid, tonka, and geranium, and while the bergamot (as part of the sharp citrus component) definitely makes sense, I don't get much of either floral note, though they could certainly be in the background, smoothing things over between the contrasting vanilla and lemon. Unsurprisingly ideal for warm weather wear, I'm not sure I'd wear this for a formal occasional but it could be all-day useful for a wedding since it maintained a lot of intensity through the first hour or two. It does eventually dry down to to expose the vanilla a little more than the lemon, as would often be the case. Overall a lovely fragrance, great performer, and solid versatile option, especially for warmer weather. 9 out of 10

This fragrance surprised me a bit. I literally just received this today & I’m so pleasantly surprised. I thought this was going to be very thick, sweet & gourmand, but it’s Not, it’s actually somewhat light, not in performance, but in scent. For me, this smells super close to Creed’s Sublime Vanille. I’d say they’re 90% similar with this one having a better performance. I got 8 hrs from this & 3 hrs of surprising projection - big scent cloud around me. I did not expect to be able to wear this in the summer, but that’s when it should be worn. 8/10 - this is really very good, simple & boring maybe, but quite good if ur looking for a freshie vanilla.

I received this as a sample and just had to purchase a full bottle. This was so pleasant to wear out on a summer day. I smelled like a cool, lemon sorbet. Every time I moved, I was engulfed in the most yummy sweet scent. The fragrance lasted all day and it's still on my clothing 5 days later!!! I am really pleased with my purchases from the Dua brand.

This fragrance lasted as a skin scent for the entire 6 hours. It smells like a yummy lemon meringue pie with hint of vanilla. Not too sweet it is creamy and buttery like pastry. This is the type of gourmand scent I like to wear to sleep. In winter it is amazing but unsure in desert heat if I would wear it during the day. I highly recommend trying it!

This smells absolutely delicious. It smells like the Trader Joe's lemon ice cream! This is perfect for a summer day.

I have tried this over the last few days. The opening is like I have experienced in lemon scented cleaners. The middle and dry down improves as the lemon settles and a gentle vaniila emerges. This one is not for me at all. 5-6/10

This smells exactly like you would think these notes would smell. IF you like Creed Virgin Island Water, you will like this. Not a dupe, but that "family". DUA's Carribean Waters is their VIW dupe, and it's JUST like it!! This scent is very light, like a skin scent on me.. I love these people, they are so talented..

Perfect powdery citrus vanilla. The lemon is bright upon opening and then the powdery vanilla with Bergamot comes in like a rush of sumptuous Summer breeze. Absolutely beautiful. The House Of Dua and perfumer, Mahsam Raza are genius. Well-balanced, great longevity 4-6 hours and the silliage is medium.
