I had previously heard from Victoria that it smells sweet and gourmand like lemon cake. I imagined something along the lines of the Balea "Zuckerschnute" products from the 2010s or Super Milk from Lush.

Now that I've tested my sample on my skin a few times, I can say that for me it goes in a slightly different direction than expected.

At the beginning, I perceive juicy lemon, but also the presence of honey, although this is not listed in the fragrance notes. The association is a cup of hot lemon with honey, which I stir with a spoon and the steam rises to my nose. I don't notice the cake at first. Only later, when the scent becomes more vanilla, do I get a hint of a cake that was baked a few hours ago, a little further away.

In my opinion, the fragrance is rather quiet from the start, which is why I have to dose it higher. But then I can smell it for 6-7 hours. However, it stays with me rather than radiating for miles. I can imagine using it when I want to smell nice, but don't want to annoy anyone.

I would describe the fragrance overall as gourmand, but not in that "cake" way, but a little more subtle. Even though it reminds me of hot lemon with honey, it brings me a spring-like and sunny mood and not a cold in winter or something like that. Unfortunately, I can't say anything about the similarity to Devotion/Lira, as I haven't had it under my nose yet.

The price is very good and I also think the bottle is pretty. I really like it now for spring!

I ignored it for a long time because I thought I knew what a typical "fresh laundry fragrance" would smell like. But when I discovered it in the perfumery and sprayed it on a test strip, I was hooked in a second. This pure and powdery freshness really reminds me of detergent powder in its most intense, pristine and perfect form. I can hardly imagine that it could bother anyone... But I know that it is definitely too loud for some people. For me it was immediately clear: I had to have it! It hardly changes over time and lasts at least 2 whole days on my clothes. I was really surprised again here.

I love this perfume and used to wear it secretly from my mother. For me, it's a perfume for hot summer days and has a very special twist. It doesn't remind me so much of a garden, but more of the smell of a brine bath or a sea breeze - that salt that is in the air. For me, the fragrance is suitable for both day and night.
