I gifted it and it seems too plain. More suitable for teens. Blind buy that didn’t work out 😭.
PatSmell
Exquisite. The vanilla is delicious; I smell more orange skin than lemon, giving it an elegant vibe. Medium longevity, super feminine and gourmand. Don’t buy blind—it evolves minute by minute on the skin. A great perfume.
CeciAra
Bought it blind and I’m torn. The lemon suits me perfectly, but that sweetness feels weird and I’m not convinced yet.

Smells like Roscón de Reyes to me.
Lizfontes
People do ask what I’m wearing. It reminds me of lemon cake. I prefer the heart notes over the top notes, and I’d buy it again.
irovatti
I don’t like it.
Andrea Pelegrín
Beautiful perfume. A well-gourmand lemon cake fragrance perfect for fresh weather. Worth owning and easy to wear.
PatSmell
At first, it smells like orange blossom water from Christmas bread, then candied lemon—it’s not really citrusy. Later, the vanilla settles in and makes it addictive. It evolves on the skin: vanilla without florals, pleasant, warm, and very sensual.

I already have it in my collection. I’m a gourmand lover, but not of just any kind. I like it for the lemon touch and the milky, creamy development. At first, I feared it would be flat—just lemon with sugar—but not at all. Later, I detect plenty of panna cotta and vanilla. The orange blossom is integrated, giving it a clean touch that makes it a mature, light, and elegant scent. It doesn’t have a huge sillage, but since I just bought it, I’m not sure yet. I don’t care because I want to smell good on myself and for anyone hugging me to enjoy it without overwhelming anyone. I love it!
Verrouski
I bought the limited-edition little heart bottle on sale. I tested it in 20ml, and three times I’ve worn it, people have asked and complimented me—even a stranger approached. It’s a simple, straight-forward floral-vanilla scent with no tricks and nothing special, but incredibly enjoyable. I usually prefer unique, non-mainstream proposals, but here I enjoy the standard, and so do others. I’ll restock it because, even though it’s familiar, it makes a difference.

At first, it didn’t grab me, so I left it in the closet for a few months, and now it’s my absolute favorite. You can smell every single note; it’s sweet but with a citrus twist, perfect for cold weather. On my skin, it lasts about 24 hours.
Alba Gómez
It’s my third expensive designer perfume, so my nose isn’t trained yet. But the moment I applied it to my wrist, I fell in love, especially with how it evolves. I’d read it smelled like lemon tart with church incense, and yes, it’s exactly that. As a lover of both scents, it’s PERFECTION. And the bottle? Simply gorgeous!
Lamenda
Smells like a fresh lemon tart with a crumbled cookie base and a splash of rum on a Seville terrace. Very delicious, but I’m a bit tired of seeing the ad everywhere. Maybe I’ll buy it later when it’s not so visible.
arantzahanami
It smells like vanilla pancake with orange. I loved it at first, but then it gave me a headache. It’s very sweet, so only for winter. Don’t buy it blindly or wear it on the subway during rush hour. P.S.: It lasts forever.
A.k
Smells great, but it’s not all that hype, a bit overrated. I actually like the ad more than the perfume itself.
Perla Vencis
I’ve kept my distance from vanilla scents for a long time, but I like this one for its floral composition, thanks to the orange blossom. This white flower shines from start to finish. Although I read here that the rum is noticeable, on my skin the orange blossom steals the show, with vanilla lingering in the background. I love it for cold winter days and autumn afternoons.
Sujey CouCou
This perfume is amazing! It smells like burnt lemon pie with a hint of rum that gets you drunk on the scent and makes you want to sniff it over and over… Wherever I go, I get compliments and people always ask for the name. If you’re a woman with character, bold, and not afraid to leave a mark… this one is for you!
FUCSIA73
No doubt about it: no one does citrus like Olivier Cresp… he’s a legend! I don’t know what else to say that hasn’t already been said. Even though it stays linear from start to finish, it’s such a delightful experience that I could wear it all day without caring that the notes don’t evolve further. It smells like a drunk lemon pie, and that drunk has rum that Victoria doesn’t, but otherwise they’re almost identical on my skin, with Victoria even winning because for about 20 minutes it shows fresh lemon followed by sweetness… I love perfumes like this, I need to find others with lemon and sugar!

This fragrance is loved by many but also hated; I adore it, it’s one of my favorite designer scents. Created by the iconic Olivier Cresp (whom I had the honor of interviewing about his new Akro launch, and we also chatted about this gem). It has excellent longevity and smells like a lemon tart, but you can tell vanilla is more prominent. Yes, it’s sweet, but not as cloying as many say… on many apps they claim it contains panna cotta, but no, it doesn’t (little secret, no secret at all, Olivier himself told me that). I recommend it only for cold weather (fall and winter), both day and night. People have been complimenting it a lot during those seasons. As a bonus, the bottle is gorgeous.
Julia1998
Smells like a Roscón de Reyes or panettone with honey and citrus. It’s super cozy, but I’d love a more potent version.
WhiteFlorals
For gourmand lovers, this is the best I’ve tried. Smells exactly like lemon pie as the reviews say. Longevity and sillage are top-notch, noticeable for hours. It feels very youthful, so I gifted it to my teenage daughter and she adores it.
Bella212
It’s the most gourmand one I know, smells like almond alfajores. It’s playful and cute, but I won’t keep it in my collection due to the price. It lacks a spark and the evolution is very linear. The bottle is pretty, but the scent feels like pure marketing.
PauPauPon
The bottle is divine and elegant. Bought it blind and have zero regrets. If you like vanilla, this is yours. Smells like a gourmand dessert, sweet but not cloying. Lasted on my skin for over 8 hours; even at 5 hours it still smelled perfect.
PaperOrchid
One of my favorites. Saw the bottle photos and mixed reviews, and I heard it as soon as it arrived in Mexico. The opening is an intense lemon, like cleaner, but fades quickly. Then you feel the sweetness and creaminess of panna cotta and the spicy rum touch. I always thought it smelled like eating lemon pie with chai. It’s warm and delicious, ideal for those who love smelling like mantecadas. Not recommended for hot weather.
jazzita
I didn’t like it. I gifted it and she loved it, thinking it smelled like a lemon cake with liquor. On my skin it smelled okay, but I couldn’t handle the rum note. I’ll try the nude pink bottle…
charlotinable
It doesn’t exude sensuality; it smells like a teenager receiving their first perfume. It’s pleasant, rich, and creamy with a syrupy citrus note. Reminds me of freshly baked cookies and Christmas parties. It’s nothing new or impressive, has an artificial touch that doesn’t bother me. I own the Lattafa Victoria, which is the exact and finer imitation, so I mix them to boost aroma and longevity. Cute, innocent, and sweet. Yes, I’d repurchase!
Kax
I read the reviews and went to try it excited. I’m not a huge fan of very sweet perfumes but I wanted to smell that lemon cake. The disappointment was huge. From the first minute it smelled like burnt plastic smoke. I don’t know if it’s the rum or the vanilla that doesn’t suit me, because I tried the Lattafa Eclaire and it also smelled like synthetic plastic. Don’t recommend buying blind. The bottle is gorgeous, but the scent is burnt plastic. There’s no lemon or vanilla… horrible.
Reseña honesta
Smells like lemon pie. I love it!

So delicious, very tasty, but it doesn’t last at all on me.
