Hello you Dscheckers
I did it like the professor with the spear and the opaband guy. So with lemon and underneath, there were many trophies, I’ll do it like that again today.
It’s still really great here at Parfümo. Yesterday I wrote at Tikka that I was on the toilet for a long time and then the Sabbatiniflasche wouldn’t open. Then a guy with a funeral hat came over and said I should go to the forum. But I don’t know the forum yet.
But I already know a sexy Sanni from the Red Cross, he smells like a ferret, but he has a crazy fridge.
There’s a guy with a long nose who acts all nice, but in reality, he does dirty stuff with old women and leather.
There’s also a schizzer, a tea lady, a snob in a chair, and a football chick, they know everything about Paföng, I don’t get any of that, so I’d rather watch Alexander Marcus on Jutjub (I don’t know why he’s called Dscheremi now).
So, I’m going to do it like the smart ones again, with lemon and underneath.

Bake, bake lemon
Smells really yummy
Swirly-durly
Like Eckskwiesa
Sweet - with sweet
Also with sugar

Damp Wuff on Cheese Cream...
Oh my! The first comment on this fragrance... okay. Please remember that fragrances develop differently for everyone! So, don’t let that hold you back...
Well then. Since I am currently looking for a nice, feminine, citrus fragrance, I got Tarte au Citron by Laura Mercier. Right after it arrived today, I excitedly and hopefully applied it, searching for the perfect citrus note. After spraying, lemon is immediately present, along with gentle bergamot, with a creamy, slightly sour cream cheese note. I have the association of cheesecake with a strong lemon aroma, but somehow, unfortunately, it feels a bit artificial - and at the same time, there is a strange smell that resonates alongside it, the opposite of zesty, hardly describable, somewhat dull. Perhaps the anise? Hmm. In any case, I am close to gagging. To everyone who doesn’t know what that is: it’s the immediate precursor to productive gagging. I have thought long about what this smell is comparable to. It’s hard to name, in my mind’s eye, I am sitting in a café, dressed in an old-fashioned silky ruffled gown and a white hat with a wide brim, and in front of me is this cheese cream cake with a crumbly, vanilla cookie base. Just a moment ago, the weather was nice, but unfortunately, it has started to drizzle, and sitting next to me is a damp dog, hoping for scraps. The cake could be so delicious, but the wafts of this wet fur - brrr! - ruin the appetite. Over time, the pup moves away, understanding that he won’t get any of the cake, but leaves behind a lasting memory as thanks.
My overall association: cheese cream with a wet dog.
A bright fragrance, gourmand, but unfortunately for me, with a factor of disgust. What a shame.
The sillage seems rather weak to me. I didn’t want to test the longevity - a toast to the tried and true, mysteriously functioning metal soap...

While the cake is baking in the oven, the sink is being cleaned with scouring milk.

It smells exactly like that. Like a creamy, delicious, and sweet lemon tart, still warm and fresh from the oven. Yummy.

"Oops, I spilled lemon cream cake on myself!" At least my shirt smells that way now.

Freshly baked lemon-vanilla cookies - still warm. Does a woman want to smell like that?

Smells like a lemon sponge roll with sour cream filling that sat in the sun too long!

Smells like a summer coffee table. But not bad. Maybe they could have skipped the anise.
