Lovely gourmand blend - citrus, sweet, creamy, tart, fresh

22 Shades of Dolce Solaris is a Dua tribrid (inspired by a blend of Le Labo Bergamote 22 as well as Profumum Roma Dulcis in Fundo & Acqua Viva), still the only tribrid that I own to this day, so clearly my favorite, and one of my favorite releases of 2020. It’s a fittingly fresh, sweet, tart, and slightly creamy blend of citruses and vanilla, primarily, capturing some of the extremes but landing in an interesting middle space. And with great performance, it’s a great option for gourmand lovers, and a fragrance that I like to wear when I want something to perform well in the heat, though I’m sure the vanilla might be overwhelming for some on a hot day. Among the three inspirations that contribute, I’d say that Dulcis in Fundo is most prominent, balancing out the relative tartness of Bergamote 22 and Acqua Viva, but the result is very balance in terms of sweet vs. tart, with some of the creaminess of Dulcis in Fundo being part of the mix, as well.

Summer holidays

Oh, summer vacation!
1964 in Timmendorf at the Baltic Sea.
It was hot, and the sand burned under my feet.
And I was allowed to buy myself an ice cream!
That was something special.
Forty pennies was pressed into my hand.
On the blazing hot boardwalk I walked to the white wooden booth.
A Langnese flag announced the delights!
'Split'
Golden yellow, lemony-orange water ice on the outside, with a creamy vanilla center!
Hot and tingly on the tongue at first bite!
Pure refreshment!
And mellowed by the soft vanilla notes.
Oh, that was wonderful!
Unforgettable!
Really?
Really is this delicious gourmand fragrance that allows you not only enjoyment, but for the older among you, a delicious trip back in time!

I wish my dear exchange partner 'First' just as joy with it, as this perfume made me!

Cuja Mara ice cream

This is my second blind comment and I thank Kima very much for this opportunity. I had 4 scents to choose from to which I had no information other than a number on the TZ.
This fragrance piqued my interest because I think it fits wonderfully into summer.

Like ice in the sunshine...he's melting me away...

It starts with very clearly recognizable citrus notes, I'm guessing tangerine, tangerine or orange. Maybe a splash of bergamot or lime in there. (Maybe also passion fruit since the association to the Cuja Mara ice cream came to me)
Then a vanilla note comes along in the background, which comes across wonderfully creamy, milkshake-like. And combines the fruity notes with a sweet vanilla cream.
Right after that, the scent changes further, it becomes a little sour fresh, so green-grassy citrusy, like lemongrass. That's when it reminds me of a sauna infusion. So relaxing and intense at the same time, you want to lie in.
At the same time, a new sweet note mixes in, caramel-sweet and candy-like. Now it could also be a citrus candy. However, the top note and the fruitiness at the beginning is still very present, very unusual for a lemony-fruity fragrance. Pleases me, however, extremely well.
In the base it remains fruity however it gets warmer and warmer, no woody warmth, maybe a tonka bean warmth... I can't put my finger on it. But I love it. Refreshing, sweet and warm at the same time.
No matter what scent this will be, you guys really need to try it. I can see it on a warm summer evening, when the sun is already low in the sky and you have a delicious cool drink to go with it.
Yummy (っˆڡˆς)

Bottermelk Lemon ice cream

Many thanks to the recommendations on the forum. I had asked for a fragrance that smells like Bottermelk-Lemon ice cream from my childhood.
This scent here is said ice cream in liquid form.

It hardly undergoes any development - at least on my skin.

From the outset, a balanced mixture of:
- tangy lemon (fruity without being pungent, or even smell like "toilet stone")
- ripe grapefruit (which brings a bit of bitterness to keep the scent from being too heavy)
- Vanilla (sweet but not pappy-sweet. not heavy-oriental at all)
- Sandalwood (makes together with the vanilla the waffle of the ice)

Projection: surprisingly strong for a citrusy scent. Smells now not to the moon, but is quite perceptible for my environment -> Comment of my husband: Ui, have eaten in the city an ice cream? You smell so good vanilla lemon ice cream!

Shelf life: Solid. Projects about 2.5 hours. Right up close to the wrist, I can still smell it after 5 hours. After that, the fruitiness of the lemon fades and only the wafer remains. But still not heavy-sweet-will-wash away, but vanillig-dezent-soft.
