Sweet, sugared lemon bars. And that's it. I wish the earl grey would come out more to balance the sweetness, hardly a tea scent.

Omgeessss this is beautiful very, very high on wishlist!

At first, I don’t like it as much as Bake but after a few days, I’ve grown to love it. It’s more bitter and tea like than bake. It’s tea, lemon, bitter and sweet all at the same time. I think the size and the price is more reasonable than many other perfume! On my wish list to get a full bottle for sure! This made me feel so happy, like I’m at a cafe drinking lemon tea.

When you first spray, it smells like lemon crème sandwich cookies. As you keep smelling, you get faint notes of the tea. The initial spray lasts a few minutes, then mellows out. It becomes a very faint sweet scent. The scent is completely gone on my skin in a few hours. I do love the scent, I'd just have reapply every few hours.

Smells just like an iced lemon cupcake. Waaay too gourmand and sweet for me.

Great scent. Lasts about 3 minutes though. I had this on my FB wishlist, but took it off to leave Akro Bake as my lemon go-to since this just does not have lasting power like the other Kerosene line. Wish it did though!

This did not last on me. Gone in 30 minutes. Opening notes of tea and lemon are pleasant.

I was intrigued by the listed fragrance notes and it didn't disappoint. I would stand by the description of 'intriguing'. The earl grey tea, lemon, and honey are spot on in the opener. Burnt caramel is the most distinct gourmand note to me, lingering in the background. This is listed as a unisex scent, and I would definitely like to smell it on a man. It's not a dominant male scent, but I could see this perfume meshing well with male chemistry.

This smells like a very decadent lemon poundcake. I didnt think the caramel and honey combo would work, but they go surprisingly well together!!! I wish the lemon was a little stronger, it kind of gets overshadowed by all of the sweetness after the first few minutes. Aside from that, this scent is lovely.

I blind bought this cause the notes seemed right up my alley. Turned out, it’s even more perfect than I could ever imagine, like a fresh lemon dessert or pastry and some tea. I get lemon loaf cake and tea with honey, whereas my boyfriend says it smells like lemon meringue pie.

When I wear this, I daydream that I am in London. It smells like tea, lemon, and waffle cones -- beautiful, and full bottle worthy. I prefer Akro Bake to this, though.

Heavenly gourmand citrus vanilla with a twist. This is quite linear, yet never boring. Once this is on my skin, I know I will be sniffing and cozying up to my arm all day long. I cannot get enough! It is unisex, sweet, citrus vanilla focused, and simply divine. There's something in this that makes it interesting and unique compared to a lot of other gourmand vanillas. Lasting power is very good, stays on for at least 6-8 hours. Full bottle worthy for me!!

Absolutely underrated house. Very great longevity and amazing perfume.

Beautiful scent, lasts a long time and smells tasty enough to EAT! Sweet vanilla gourmand - love it !

Lemon tea, bergamot cake, with a hint of caramel. The bergamot & lemon is quite strong in this. This would be perfect for a cozy day with rainfall sipping on tea. Great for errands, brisk walks and office wear. It’s not an offensive scent. I would pair this with a sweeter scent - vanilla, strawberry, musk to tone down the lemon & bergamot.

I am so glad I got this. It is intriguingly fresh and yet sweet. I find it to be very long lasting and the dry down is super gourmand. Pretty complex scent and def one of those that takes you on a journey. No regrets on this blind buy.

I wasn’t a fan at first, but it has definitely grown on me because it’s a really unique scent. On the first spray, it smells like lemon scented cleaning supplies, which I don’t think I’ll ever get used to, but after it dries down, I get the sweet citrus tea smell. When I’m smelling the perfume directly on my wrist, I’m a bit iffy about it, but the sillage is super soft and sweet.

Oh my, this is a delectable fragrance!! I smell a creamy lemony dessert in a fancy tea room. How they can make something smell so delicious in a perfume is beyond me. This fragrance is exactly as described. I'm getting a full size bottle for sure.

This is my first Kerosene fragrance experience and it’s off the sample I ordered from here. This is an absolute beautiful fragrance. The lemon and vanilla go so well together. The citrus make it light and the gourmand elements make it a little heavy and sweet, but they seek to find harmony when all mixed together. This has 100% high quality ingredients and the description from the artist above... they couldn’t have nailed it better. To be honest, this leans more on the feminine unisex scale. I still love this scent and really enjoy smelling it, I’m just not sure I would wear it.

It smells like an expensive Pina Colada.
