The first note I quickly noticed was the liquorice (and I work with it, it’s so close to the real smell) together with the blood orange and just a sniff of the bergamot, the lavender and jasmine are small but they give a small freshness to such a gourmand fragrance. Cinnamon it’s working beautifully together with the liquorice in this, but the caramel and vanilla in the end are also pretty and not overwhelming. I would give it a 8.5/10, just because the liquorice was very pungent for a few moments.

Disclaimers: 1- I don’t have the original for comparison; 2- I am NOT a gourmand girlie, I’m surprised I liked this much, so it’s worth a try. 3- ITALY: If you live here, I did get taxed in my purchase and didn’t spend a lot, so beware.

This has become my new signature scent. It reminds me of a warm hug and comfort. Although lemon is not listed, it smells like a sophisticated take on a warm lemon cake fresh out of the oven. The scent is a gourmand but not overly sweet. The scent does not fill a room, but people will smell it if they're very close to you. The scent is long-lasting on my skin, at least 10 hrs. It's something you could wear to work without it overwhelming your coworkers. Also, I personally think it's a year round scent.

I've gotten compliments on the scent and people tend to want to hug me more when I'm wearing it. It is a warm, happy, positive scent and I think it unconsciously reminds people of good memories like grandma baking cakes from scratch, holidays, parties, etc.

I haven't smelled the original yet so I can't compare it.

These impression oils outperform the real deal when it comes to projection.

I support this company because it's IFRA regulated, in the US, FDA doesn't regulate cosmetics. EU does. Oils crafted in France.

I paid out of pocket for my perfume oils, I have 0 affiliation with this company & this review is 100% my own unique thoughts:

I have a son who had a heart transplant. Bath and Body Works stopped making Limoncello lotion. I figured this would be a great alternative.

Some people REQUIRE a weak natural scent, this is PERFECT especially for those working in the healthcare field.

It smells divine. 💘💘💘💘💘

Unfortunately, because there's lavender oil in here & lavender oil has shown in medical studies (along with teatree oil) to disrupt the male endocrine system, I cannot use it again on my son but it didn't upset his lungs at all. If you have a female with lung issues, you want a clean, lemon pound cake scented, beautiful fragrance to relax you? This is it.

My son's nurses LOVED this scent, I believe it's 60 ML purchase worthy in a NY minute.

I wish oil perfumery could make a Limoncello scent or an OP original that smells like this without lavender oil.

Buy this, you won't regret it. Pure perfection.

Thank you to the wonderful staff at oil perfumery.
