rainbow Report post Posted December 11, 2016 Fear of Happiness Gibbering chitters of laughter, gleaming grinning mouths peeling open like a knife-slash: high-pitched lemon peel and pink pepper, white orris, and garish tangerine. OMG. This smells like candied lemon peel and lemonheads. It is lemon, lemon, lemon, and it is divine. This is no weak and retiring lemon. The pink pepper and tangerine seem to give the lemon some background strength and staying power. Seriously. Lemonheads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theredkilt Report post Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) I was expecting a refreshing zesty citrus with zingy traces of pink pepper and a dusty orris base. IT'S NOT IT!!! It's such a bright and cheery scent, BUT unexpectedly SWEET. It's not like Lemon-scented sticky bat, it's a fuller citrus, but the sweetness is almost juicy-like. Over time it settles into citrus sugar and reminds me of a citronade (get it?) with floating sugar cubes. If you enjoy your citrus blends on the sweeter and juicier side, GET THIS!

izile Report post Posted January 8, 2017 I was curious about this one, and it ended up being one of my surprise winners. In the bottle, the lemon zest is sharp, and I worried about the dreaded "lemon pledge effect" but wet, this is a power-bomb of lemony goodness, and as it dries, it's just sharp, bright, citrusy and clean (in a non-cleaning-product-way).

zankoku_zen Report post Posted February 1, 2017 Candied lemons, lemon zest, a dash of manderine and orris. It's a very festive lemon blend. Good throw and wear length. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Little Bird Report post Posted February 16, 2017 Cherophobia smells like lemonheads candies. Sweet lemon, sour lemon, sugar crystals. A good mix of sweet and tart, but more dry than juicy on my skin. I can't pick out any of the other notes, and I was hoping for orris to make an appearance. It's a pleasant, sweet lemon candy, but Gobo is still my absolute favorite for a gourmand lemon fragrance.

lizabelle Report post Posted March 9, 2017 This absolutely does smell like lemonheads, although maybe a touch less sweet. The tangerine peel gives it an extra sharpness, while the pink pepper keeps it from going too bitter and rounds everything out. There is a teensy bit of a powdery note that might be orris, but it's not strong. This actually strikes me as a summer fragrance more than anything, and I'm tempted to try and find myself a bottle.
