I slurp tea under the lemon tree and watch the cat argue with the birds!
Hello, fragrance lovers. Welcome to a new fragrance, which despite the cooler weather is a pure summer fragrance, but since I can test summer fragrances in winter in a warm apartment, it fits (... but testing winter fragrances in summer is deadly! :D).

Be that as it may, today is about "Under the Lemon Trees" by Maison Margielas replica series. I think that the Replicas already have quite interesting and other scents to offer than the typical mainstreamer, so these are always worth a look.

And the scent here connects two of my favourite scents, which I don't really need to mention anymore, because you should know me by now, don't you?
...no man! Not Star Wars... Star Wars is not a scent, you idiots!!! And... uh... Batman, of course... I can't believe I have to write this extra!!

No, I meant tea and citric scents, of course. I like both in summer. Well, with tea fragrances there are also great winter perfumes, but I like citrus-fresh fragrances very much on warm days, because they simply give this great, tingling refreshing feeling and make you pleasant to smell even on hot days. And here both is available, and therefore I describe now also once the mad smell!

The fragrance:
The fragrance begins with very beautiful, juicy lemons (or limes). These don't look very sparkling, but still have a great, refreshing effect. Then I smell very light, sweet scents whose origin is not ascertainable. And then there's the one fragrance note that makes the fragrance even more great for me, namely the tea, which seems to consist of a mix of "normal" (black) tea and green tea and goes very well with the lemons.
The slightly sweet scent from earlier becomes a little stronger later and you can recognize it to some extent now, because this seems to be the musk. While the musk smells cheerfully along with the tea and lemons, the harsher cedar wood is now also noticeable. In addition, the fragrance also seems to have a light, soap-clean aura.
Towards the end there are still lemons and tea. With tea you can also smell a somewhat tart and spicy variety, which should be the mate that goes particularly well with the cedar. You can still smell musk as well and I think that the musk not only radiates its sweetness, but also provides the clean feeling I mentioned earlier.
All in all, this is a beautiful, fresh fragrance, which even looks warm towards the end, without becoming autumnal, but radiates this warmth in a summery beautiful way, which then appears Mediterranean, which in turn reminds of beautiful holiday resorts.

The Sillage and Durability:
Well, everything beautiful has its downsides, too, doesn't it? As with almost all (citric) summer fragrances, this fragrance has the disadvantage that it is incredibly weak on the skin and therefore hardly to be smelled by others. I think you should spray this fragrance on quite generously! The durability is also not great and will be after four or five hours hardly really smellable.

The bottle:
The bottle is cylindrical and clear. On the front there is a label that looks as if it has been printed with a typewriter and is therefore a nice change from other fragrances. The neck has been wrapped with a rope and thus has a marine charisma. A lid is missing because all replica fragrances have no lids.

Aaaaah, this fragrance is, as you already suspect, very beautiful for me and I could well imagine using this fragrance in summer. I may not be a special summer person, at least not for the time being, but the scent creates images in my head where I could imagine sitting under a lemon tree on a warm day and drinking lukewarm tea while the sun gradually sets and the otherwise so green landscape is immersed in a beautiful red.

By the way, you look at his cat, who lay on his back shortly before to let the sun shine on his soft belly, but who is now awake and full of energy again. So you can also see him moaning at the birds that seem to mock him high up on the branches, because he can't climb up to the branches, which the tomcat actually could, if he wasn't too lazy :)
So nobody comes to harm and for the observer this is a funny spectacle!

Yes, the scent is beautiful and also reminds of beautiful things. He also comes across very clean, which is also very pleasant. Only the Sillage could have been a little bit stronger or more sparkling, which I find quite a pity, because just the own nose quickly gets used to a scent, so that you won't notice it here very long, if you don't spray it on quite often. But nevertheless I recommend all citrus and tea fans to sniff in here :)

So that's it, and that's it from me again. I wish you all a nice evening, then until the next time :)

Unisex?
I love fresh citric scents and that is how I became aware of this one.
I sprayed it on myself and smelled it over and over again. Lemon, fresh, delicious! So I bought it.
Sprayed at home and oh wonder, suddenly he smelled very masculine to me.
In the foreground is still the lemon, of course, but I think the cedar wood comes out very much in my case.
Very pleasant, but more for my husband.
And then he snatched the beautiful bottle, which unfortunately has no cap and is so difficult to take away.
He loves him! It's fragrant every day. Not intrusive. You can't go wrong with him.
And so I can keep sniffing that great scent

Interesting lemon cake with a stale aftertaste
I already own "At the barber's" from this house and like fresh scents, so I had to try the lemon tree right away.

The opening smells strongly of a lemon lemon, sweet and juicy like a fresh lemon cake. Immediately after a few seconds an acidic, fresh mixture spreads out, which reminds me of the bitter, acidic taste of dandelion juice. Such a strange sweet and sour mixture I have never found before, only because of this experience I recommend to test the scent.

After the first few minutes, the overall impression becomes rounder again. The lemon disappears and something spicy emerges, perhaps with a hint of wood. The sweetness is still there, but not as prominent as at the beginning. The spiciness is difficult to determine, nutmeg or caraway I mean to smell, cardamom as listed in the notes, I do not smell so. It can also be the cistus, which is also quite spicy.

The base is rather weak and I smell some Calone out what I don't like at all. Probably this is how they try to stretch the freshness, because the scent flattens out quickly.

CONCLUSION
The scent is interesting and despite the lemon not necessarily a summer scent. Unfortunately it flattens quickly on my skin and leaves no clear impression, but tries with some artificiality to set the missing accents.

Lemon tree

The days are getting colder, one slowly prepares for the sleepy winter.

... outside everything is still green and dreamy... the sun warms me with her last summer kisses... oh how beautiful ... ❤

Go out on the still green meadow and lie down.

I open my eyes and I can't believe what I see... an unbelievably beautiful island ... there is not a single cloud in the sky, the water in the sea has a turquoise blue colour ... It reflects the beautiful falling leaves... ❣

It smells of freshly squeezed lemons ... I look around and see thousands of magnificent lemon trees ... which are bearing their ripe fruit. They bathe in warming sunrays...

The sound of the sea in the background is like a balm for my soul.

The birds have also made their appearance.. ? the sounds they make are so tender and beautiful I forgot to take a breath... ? I have the feeling that summer has come back, as if it hadn't gone at all...

oh, there's a lemonade for me... love Kerstin brought it... She makes the best lemonade
It is sweetish, refreshingly cold and lemony ... the delicious, bubbly drink refreshes my taste buds and all my senses
I love this sea rushing fresh lemon summer and would like to keep these impressions for the whole year...

Replica under the Lemon Tress
The scent is citric- fresh

Alone under the lemon tree
It had been cloudy the whole day and when the sun found its way through the clouds in time for the Mini-Open Air in the neighbouring village, I spontaneously and euphorically put on the scent sample of Replica - Under the Lemon Trees for my first outdoor event this year.

While I was still spraying, slight doubts crept up on me as to whether my research was still there... 'what if it smells like Citron Noir?'... because I had gone through a really bad smell development with it a good week before... 'maybe my skin just isn't made for citric scents? What if it smells like a toilet block or like a mosquito kettle?' The fresh lemon scent, which now rose into my nose, made me throw all my doubts overboard: 'No matter, after 2 hours it's gone anyway, like all the others!' With this certainty I happily made my way to the Open Air.

When 2 hours had passed, I still had the full lemon scent in my nose, which was actually threatening to tip over towards the toilet block or the mosquito kettle, but could still stay on the wire rope at the last second. It is a fine line between genius and madness, between elegant and cheap, between summer resort and insect spray.

After another 2 hours, when the lemons were still dancing samba in my nose, I asked my friend to sniff at me and tell me if I still smelled lemony... he did as he was told and then said, "Ahem, joooa, you can still see!" Uh... okay. Enthusiasm is different. He must have missed the samba...

Another 2 hours later we started our way home and I still had the full olfactory lemon grove in my nose... another tryout of my friend turned out negative. I was sitting alone under the lemon tree. All night long! Even the next morning a gentle breeze blew by under my nose - the samba dancers had been through the night and had become tired. But they were still there. Just for me!

Conclusion: A citric, fresh summer scent that stays with me for an exceptionally long time, gradually collects all the scent molecules from my skin and stacks them in my nose until there is really nothing left to stack. A fragrance with which one can spend a freshly squeezed lemon summer night alone. But if you also want to please others with it, you have to hurry! :)

Expected the lemon, didn't expect the spice—but that was a pleasant surprise. Lives up to the name, lasts 5-6 hours.

Herbal green tea blended with a lovely selection of spices, citrus and cistus (smells like roses to me). Perfect for warm weather to come.

Soft citrusy scent that smells like lemons right off the tree: more green and aromatic than sharp or sweet. Clean, simple, effective.
