Gourmand Lemon
"Bigarade":
1. bitter orange
2. a sauce particularly served with duck, seasoned with the juice or peel of the bigarade (1)

"Bigarade" is written on the pretty yellow bottle with golden dots and a ribbon. The "Gourmand Notes Series" by Reminiscence consists of four luscious fragrances, and the yellow "Sol La" (corresponding to the notes G and A in the C major scale) presents the gourmand lemon. It's a quirky little scent. On one hand, because the bigarade composition is really present in a bitter-sparkling way (a fine little word creation from bitter and sparkling), and on the other hand, because the combination with a gourmand creation is somehow quirky. Quirky but good.
I must clarify right away: for "toilet lemon sensitive types," this is not for you. This lemon is bitter, yellow, sparkling, and intense. In addition to the pomeranze (also known as bitter orange), there are even more lemons, oranges, and bergamot pressed in here. It almost seems as if the citrus essences don't have enough space here, as the perfume is packed full, like an overcrowded busload of citrus fruits. But if you like that, it's fantastic (in the truest sense of the word). Moreover, even in the heart note, there's still more lemon, so don't worry, the citrus impression won't leave us.
This citrus composition actually bears a lot of resemblance to Acqua di Parma's "Colonia." However, it remains exclusively "cologne" fresh there. Here, on the other hand, since we are dealing with gourmand notes, a sweetness gradually joins the explosive lemon. Vanilla spreads as much as it can among the dominant citrus fruits, a bit of ylang-ylang adds a delicate sweet-velvety floral note, and the pear in the base is very ripe but also very subtle. Patchouli holds back strongly on my skin. The gourmand character mainly comes from the vanilla.
A citrus-fresh and powdery-sweet scent emerges, without it really becoming dessert-sweet. It remains sparkling until the end with a tiny little cuddly note. Citrus powder, so to speak.

Dein Kommentar ist toll geschrieben und beschreibt Sol La sehr gut - obwohl der Duft bei mir leider etwas an Spritzigkeit vermissen lässt.
