Reddit: "In the vial, to my surprise, it smelled less gourmand than I was expecting! Lemon, their always-gorgeous silk note, and a cool-toned non-buttery vanilla. On my skin, the frosting and cake notes come out strongly, and it does indeed become the gourmand (inflected with silk) that the notes description promised. There's a bit of acidic tartness to the lemon (and bergamot?) that cuts through the dense cake and frosting notes beautifully."
Reddit: "As a certified citrus hater, this was way outside my comfort zone but I am impressed and reconsidering my citrus-hating ways! It opens with a delicious candied lemon peel with amazing projection. On my skin it dries down to a silky, sugared lemon with just a hint of warmth - like a lemon shortbread cookie. This kind of airy, sugary, lemon gourmand reminds me of Chelsea Morning by Lush without all of the weird cloying sour butterscotch (iykyk). I don’t think I’ve encountered such a fun, lemony scent that doesn’t either fade or turn into a cleaning product on my skin. I really enjoyed this one and might have to upsize as well. 8.5/10"
Reddit: "I would say this is extremely Storge adjacent. It’s a bit more complex- that one is just straight up lemon bars. This indeed has a little more going on behind the scenes- the dark silk note for example. Which I like! But it is still a bit more of a straight gourmand than is my usual preference. I suspect layering On the Wing with Storge would virtually dupe this. It is also strong and long lasting! 4/5 Bonus Butterfly Rabble Review: Husband said “this smells like two lions snuggling at sunset. And maybe… mint?” (On my skin.) He really got the dark/silk undertone strongly and far less of the cupcake/lemon/Storge gourmand. Where the mint came from, IDK. He said he would also wear it, but especially loved it on me. 5/5 from him."
Arcana Wildcraft: "I get SO MANY compliments wearing this. Some say I smell like a fruity pebbles rice crispie, others say it’s those baby bottle lollipops you dip in sugar powder. Either way this is a DELICIOUS scent, a beautifully rich lemon cake with icing. Will have to upsize ASAP!"
Arcana Wildcraft: "This is the most realistic (and delicious!) lemon petit fours perfume i've ever had the pleasure of wearing. pillowy, warm vanilla cake made with the highest quality vanilla bean paste that's generously frosted with lemon icing and topped with freshly grated lemon zest. butterfly rabble floats away as a creamy, dreamy citrus cloud."
