What does Eau Gourmande - Tarte au Citron smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters place it in leisure, daily and evening wear, with some choosing it for the office.

It opens with lemon, lemon zest and bergamot for a bright citrus start, softened by sour cream and meringue. Jasmine, neroli and aniseed sit in the heart. In the base, pastry, vanilla, musk and blond woods turn it creamy and gourmand, leaving a fruity, slightly synthetic sweetness.
