I’m so glad I found a 50ml bottle of this at TJ Maxx. This smells like a creamy slice of lemon cheesecake with orange icing drizzled on top. The candied lemon in the opening is a little sharp, but just trust the process and wait for the drydown. The panacatta note is so smooth and buttery and it blends with the vanilla & lemon notes beautifully. I threw on a few sprays before work and I was complimented from across the room and asked to write down what I was wearing. This is perfect for someone that wants a fresh citrusy perfume but also enjoys vanilla centered gourmands. I do find it to be cloying if I overspray, the gourmand aspect becomes too much of a good thing and I get a little nauseous, so if your bottle is macerated I would keep that in mind. Overall, it’s a beautiful sweet fragrance that will layer beautifully with white florals or other gourmands. I highly recommend it for cold weather.
