Vanilla flower cake with lemon icing, and the munching begins..
Hmmmm...
Could it be that I have commented a lot of scents with vanilla lately?
Or gourmand scents with chocolate notes, some of which also have chocolate cake scents (such as recently Belgian Choco Truffle or Devils Food)? And then you all started drooling like a waterfall together? D
Yuck, you're disgusting, bah... he he.
Well, by a random reach into the sample box, I now fished this scent out of here. First of all, I didn't think of anything I could write here and thought of only writing a statement. But then I started to sniff... and already I wanted to drool again... at least almost!
Yes, once again I ended up with a vanilla fragrance that smells like cake, but hey, for a change it's not a chocolate cake but rather a fluffy vanilla cake with a lemon glaze, where the water could run in your mouth :D
And damn it, why do I never have a cake near here that I could now munch on while testing and writing, especially together with coffee or tea? *sigh*
Hm... I think I should stop describing certain things like cake exactly, because similar to chocolate scents, you almost get cravings even if you've just eaten and are actually full!
But then to the fragrance: Soon this cake impression becomes less, especially when the first floral notes appear, from which I can best smell the lilac. I think it's good that the flowery scents don't smell stuffy.
That's the way it stays until the flowery scents get a little weaker over time.
In the base one still smells vanilla, which now smells a little stronger or more powdery. Surprisingly, one can still recognize a light lemon (perhaps also due to the bergamot, which is indicated in the base), which by the vanilla and the somewhat sugary sweetness still reminds of lemon sugar glazes and therefore smells quite delicious.
The shelf life is... well, vanilla fragrances often have a good shelf life, and here it's no different, so you get eight hours, although the fragrance is looser than other vanilla fragrances.
Well, the scent is okay, but you shouldn't expect anything out of the ordinary. It stands out from most vanilla fragrances by the way a little bit by two points: First of all, the vanilla is fluffy looser here and therefore a little more suitable for summer, and secondly, the citrus fruits look very long here, so that one just has the feeling to sit on a wonderful day on the terrace or in the garden, where one has prepared fresh tea or coffee and besides munched vanilla cake with lemon glaze.
And while you're enjoying the beautiful weather, enjoying the butterflies, but again being annoyed by the mosquitoes, you have a small, guilty conscience, because you actually wanted to get to the bikini figure especially in summer (yay, perfumes in bikini... certainly a wonderful sight, but I'm already quiet *sigh*) and now suddenly you're stuffing yourself with cake. But what the hell, the main thing is that it tastes good and every now and then you can treat yourself to something like this!
Yes, as I said the fragrance is more suitable for summer and if you like vanilla with citric notes you can have a look here! He is too weak to go out, but still a nice scent.
And now I'm in the mood for cake *sigh*
Fortunately, I have already tested and written this comment before. So I had time to go to the next supermarket and get a whole cake just for myself... which I didn't do because of a bad conscience. So now I'm getting even more interested in something like this and regret not having bought it, but tomorrow is Saturday, then I can finally get it... cake of course, you piglets...!

The fragrance:
I smell lemons at the beginning. Together with a still weak vanilla and a pastry-like fragrance, the top note reminds me of these delicious lemon cakes, which are juicy, delicious and have a firm, thick lemon glaze. Hm...

The Sillage and the shelf life:
The Sillage is mediocre, so you can only enjoy from close up, aahhh... I mean smellable will be :DThe shelf life is... well, vanilla fragrances often have a good shelf life, and here it's no different, so you get eight hours, although the fragrance is looser than other vanilla fragrances.
The bottle:
The bottle is rectangular (but depends on the filling quantity) with bevelled edges and a simple label, as well as a cylindrical lid. Everything is very minimalistic, but the angular shape of the bottle is okay, so it doesn't just look functional like some other niche fragrances.
