Interesting Lemon Cake with a Bitter Aftertaste
I already own "At the barber's" from this house and I enjoy fresh scents, so I had to try the lemon tree right away.
The opening smells strongly of candied lemon, sweet and juicy like a fresh lemon cake. Just after a few seconds, a sour, fresh blend spreads out, reminding me of the bitter, sour taste of dandelion juice. I've never encountered such a peculiar sweet-sour mixture before, and just for this experience, I recommend testing the fragrance.
After the first few minutes, a rounder overall impression sets in. The lemon fades away and something spicy comes forward, perhaps with a hint of wood. The sweetness is still clearly present, but not as prominent as at the beginning. The spiciness is hard to determine; I think I smell nutmeg or caraway, but I don't pick out cardamom as listed in the notes. It could also be the rock rose, which is quite spicy as well.
The base is rather weak, and I detect a bit of Calone, which I do not like at all. This is probably an attempt to stretch the freshness, as the scent quickly flattens out.
CONCLUSION
The fragrance is interesting and, despite the lemon, not necessarily a summer scent. Unfortunately, it quickly fades on my skin and leaves no clear impression, instead trying to make up for missing accents with a bit of artificiality.
