I wasn’t a big fan of it at first but hubby loved it, he immediately said that one smells soo good get the full bottle

This smells nearly identical to a body spray I got from Ulta a while back called Nude Sugar. I was as underwhelmed by that fragrance as I am this, not only because it’s so expensive to purchase a full size bottle but also due to how generic it smells. When a fragrance is described as a luscious gourmand lemon cake, my mind goes to something like the beautiful Ani by Nishane. That being said, it does last a while and the fragrance is not offensive. I can see how one would really love this, it’s just not at all what I was expecting.

It was okay. I expected it to be more gourmand based on reviews.

Smells really nice, refreshing and like a lemony sweet cake type of thing. Only reason 4 stars is longevity isn't great

Reminds me of Victoria Secret’s Vanilla lotion. That’s it’s that’s all.

It's very sweet and powdery. I was expecting something richer and more complex.

Not to bad but it reminds me of a bug repellent spray I have , sweet and citrusy

This has become my favorite!!

Lemon Cake. It's similar to devotion but a zestier more lemon forward gourmand. It's fantastic except the longevity is a bit weak.

Lira surprised me with how sweet, powdery, and vanilla this is. I thought it would be sharp with the citrus, but it is so soft!! If it wasn’t super expensive I would buy a bottle!

Just beautiful. It has a light airiness to it. Like a delicious lemon fudge, but not overwhelming at all. Unfortunately longevity or projection is not good.

I LOVE the vanilla in Lira, it's complex, it's comforting, it's rich. I think the lemon doesn't hit right because I just don't like lemon in fragrance much, as this is the third fragrance with vanilla and citrus (lemon specifically) I've had but don't regularly reach for. It is certainly a sweeter lemon than some like Akro Bake. I think my feelings might change for the better wearing this one in spring or even summer, as a lemon vanilla cupcake is just not *quite* a winter fragrance. It might layer well with Jovoy Remember Me!

I was really hoping to love this, but found it to be somewhat mediocre and not groundbreaking at all. It is a sweet and citrusy gourmand that has a slight bit of a warm spice. If you are into cozy, dessert-like fragrances you might like this.

The lemon, caramel, licorice and lavender notes are predominant to me. Smells like a lemon pound cake. The projection is fine, just wish it lasted longer.

This is a very hyped fragrance and I found it totally unremarkable. A lightly lemony creamy vanilla that lasted about two hours on skin.

Very heavy, powdery but a nice gourmand

So far I love all of xerjoff's scents, this one may be my favorite so far!!

I layer this perfume with Tiziana terenzi arethusa and they smells fabulous together! My new signature scent! ??

Starts off like a lemon duster product. After several minutes, settles into a expensive lemon cookie with a touch of Christmas on the side

For the price (if purchasing a full bottle) I would want more projection and staying power. Otherwise this is one of my favorites. It's so sexy sweet

I wanted to love it and had heard great hype, but I’m not getting any new or interesting notes from this one. Lemony and somewhat sweet but to me smells quite artificial.

I really wanted to love this scent. Initial wiff is yummy lemon pound cake, but once it settles it has a bitter spiced baby powder smell.

Yummy spiced lemon cake, really enjoy this!

Decadent lemon chiffon cake in a Italian cafe vibesss

I’m in LOVE with this fragrance! It’s all the scents and notes I love. The citrus and gourmand is perfect together. It really does smell like a lemon pound cake.

Upon first smell it is my new favorite fragrance. I could not stop smelling myself. It lasted forever on me as well with only one spray.

A beautiful citrus vanilla!! You have to enjoy lemon and sweet fragrances but I feel that it isn’t cloying . I get the orange as well so it’s blended nicely. I may consider getting a full bottle.

Lovely lemon cake! This scent has nice silage and longevity, and is a great choice as a summer fragrance if you’re gourmand lover who has trouble finding a suitable fragrance for hot weather. Lira is rich and sweet but the citrus notes keep it from being too heavy.

Pairs beautifully with Dama Bianca smells great on its own will get the 50ml of this !!

Amazing scent

I’m leaving 5-stars because I love this scent so much I bought the full bottle (my husband loves it too) but I do wish the longevity was better. If you love a soft (not screechy) citrus, definitely give this a try.

I get the lemon pastry notes that everyone talks about. However, upon dry down there is a note that reminds me off Deep Woods Off bug spray. Not the biggest fan of that. Everyone’s body chemistry is different, so I do still think this is worth a sample.

Smells amazing! Great lemon scent in the opening. Love smelling like a sweet baked pastry. Moderate longevity for me.

I wear this and smell like a bakery that almost exclusively bakes lemon pound cakes. When it fades I get more soft vanilla, white flowers, woodsy scents. Love this, want the full size

I was expecting something more soft… On my skin smells like a man just smoke a cigarette and he has some vanilla perfume on

This starts off with a cute lemon cookie scent but very quickly becomes a straight baby powder scent and at the same time almost nonexistent. I was very disappointed.

The scent is very sweet but elegant

The opening is sooo good but gone in less than 5 mins. Dry down is not special enough to justify the price and a touch too sweet for my liking. Glad to have tried it though!

It’s not what I anticipated. Not my favorite.

Doesn't stay on you long

It has a light but not so bold scent an it doesn't stay on u very long but it will do

Not to my liking

for me, it becomes a warmer scent that lasts so long and continues to smell so sweet and delicious would definitely consider buying a full size

Edible lemon cake scent - just delicious! No lasting power though. :(

Beautiful spicy, citrus vanilla fragrance, a long lasting gourmand.

Beautiful. Cozy warm lemon cake with caramel. Youthful but not juvenile. Just a happy, smooth fragrance

Although this is a beautiful, light scent and I love it, you have to spray so much to even smell it and it doesn't last at all. If it were a stronger it would be perfect!

So great! This is a good fragrance line, I recommend it. If you like Baccarat rouge, Flowerbomb and stuff like that (not similar) as I do, then you’ll love this one too. It’s not as lemony as I feared so that’s good. The projection for this isn’t long lasting because they do want you to buy more. 5 stars even though it won’t last long. Over spray.

Amazing gourmand. Smells a lot like lemon cake. Doesn’t last forever, better in clothes. But it is beautiful.

I Love it. My only complaint is that it does not last long reason for the four stars.

This smells amazing! Like lemon meringue pie. It's not as long lasting as I'd like. But I could just be going noseblind to it right away

Smells very light and citrus-y, almost smells like orange and bergamot marshmallows on the skin. The dry down is a bit more caramel forward but still very citrus based. Lovely!

I’m not sure on the longevity yet. But otherwise i love this it smells sweet but not chemically lemon.

Ohhhhhhh... first off, the hype is justified! To my nose I'm not getting the lemon cake etc. I smell warm sugary almost cherry (probably the orange citrus playing with me) somewhat smoky and caramel. And I do love it! So far the best scent I've received here so far. I wish I could justify the price for a full bottle, but the longevity just isn't there. It's darker and smokier to my nose than all the fluffy lemon pound cakey reviews I've read.

I get why people like this but I did not enjoy it and actually found it a little cloying and sickening. It lasted long and I kept smelling it and it was not enjoyable to me. I don't think the fragrance is bad, just not for me.

I could not get over the opening of this fragrance! The licorice smell is SO strong! My husband and I were both gagging at how terrible I smelled. I'm happy Scentbox allows free exchanges!

I get vanilla as a dominate scent even though it’s not part of the profile. It’s a lovely gourmand and perfect for fall. Fairly long lasting.

I was originally hesitant to try this fragrance as I’d heard it smells like a fresh lemon pastry and I feared the lemon might be overpowering. I couldn’t be more wrong, this scent was so perfectly balanced and light, just sweet enough without being cloying. The lemon is more subtle than I expected. I wore this scent once and I got multiple compliments! Saving up to buy a full bottle now :)

I like it. Its nice, sweet but not too overpowering, very feminine but grown up

This is one of the most stunning gourmand perfumes I have ever tried. I thought perhaps that because of the lemon note this would be a suitable sweet perfume to wear in the summer but the vibe of this is actually more holiday season, bakery and family gathering. Really long lasting and stunning

Beautiful I love this fragrance light.

Pour a packet of lemon pudding mixed with powdered sugar into a bowl. Breathe in the dust that creates, and you’ve found the dupe for this scent. Somehow manages to smell juvenile and old lady at the same time.

Love love love!!! Lemon cake with caramel drizzle… I wish it projected better or lasted a bit longer. I haven’t found a good body oil or layering combo to boost the scent. As I don’t want to change the scent at all, I just want to boost the scent to make it have a bolder projection, and longer lasting. One of my favorite scents of all time. Lira layers well with so many other scents. 100% FULL BOTTLE WORTHY!!! I will be ordering a full size. This fragrance is truly wearable all year, any time if day, and for any occasion… maybe not for the gym. This is one of the few fragrances that really fits well in all seasons… cold weather, hot weather. For any event, date night, the office, daytime, night time… special occasion. Super versatile!

Fragrance is subtle and forgettable and doesn’t last at all

Smells really good like a lemon pound cake. I just wish it lasted longer.

Caramel-drizzled lemon pound cake at its finest.

Lemon cupcake! I may have bought a full bottle. Gourmand lovers will like this if not love it.

This is the perfect perfume for a very feminine person, I love the way it smells, so sweet and intoxicating. I get compliments nonstop when I wear this perfume, and men will stop and ask me the name of the perfume and put it down in their notes. It’s GOOD GOOOOD.

LIRA BRINGS ALL THE BOYS TO THE YARD!!!

This was good. But I feel like I could get something similar for cheaper. Not “in your face” sweet, but lightly sweet. Doesn’t turn lemon on me, but I wish it would have.

I love this perfume it smells soooo good i wish I could eat it! I have 4 stars though because the scent did not last long on me. For it to be so expensive it definitely should have better longevity.

It’s giving old lady vibes

Smells soooo goood sweet yet lemoney dries down more carmely

On me, this smells like a lemony butter cookie. Remember those little floawrr cookies with the hole in the middle, and we'd wear those cookies as rings? It smells like that with just the slightest touch of flowers. It's inoffensive and gentle. Do I wish it were louder? Yeah, but that's a me problem, so I just layer it with MFK Grand Soir to help give it some body if I'm going to wear it in a large space or when it's cold. This one is absolutely worth a try if you love, or even like, gourmands.

I had high hopes given what I had heard about this but I was somewhat disappointed. The smell is wonderful lemon cake but I found the Sillage and longevity lacking which I found so surprising because others say that it’s so good. I regret spending my scent bucks on it and I don’t think I can return it.

I like gourmands a lot but I was a little offset with the smokiness and the citrus side of this one. As a gourmand connaisseur, I disagree with anyone who says that it smells like cake. It's sweet, but that sweetness is not rich enough to be reminiscent of any baked goods. I liked it, but I don't think I'll reach for it that much. And also my boyfriend hated it.

Sweet, tangy, fluffy. More of a caramel and vanilla sponge cake gourmand! High pitched and sugary.

This is a complicated, yet wonderful smell! This is a good party or date night fragrance that will definitely turn heads.

Powdery citrus vanilla. A bit of a different twist on a vanilla fragrance that I think is flattering to the fragrance. It smells like a vanilla lemon meringue. People say pound cake but that seems creamier than what I am picking up. It smells good. It just does not last. I found that I had to reapply quite a few times and, in my opinion, the sillage was not impressive. I actually liked this for a fresh out of the bath, cozy in pjs on a cold night. But the price tag makes it hard to want a full bottle because I would just blow through it

Didn't care for the scent at all. Didn't smell any lavender.

Smells delicious. I absolutely love it. It’s well balanced and just makes me happy to be wearing it. I will definitely get this again.

This smells soooo good . I will say Lemon cake w a little hint of vanilla . When first spray it does hit your nose but quickly calms into a subtle smell and last pretty long . Not to strong very light big noticeable .

Absolutely gorgeous gourmand. Lemon poundcake but the lemon is very subtle and perfectly blended with other notes.

Sweet, long lasting perfume. Best to be used with evening attire and make up. Would open up in the cold, during summer time probably would get too much.

Lysol lemon cookie. I like the scent on its own and an though I did receive a fair share of compliments, not very wearable to my nose. I was so looking forward to this one too!

This is a beautiful lemon cookie scent!! Gourmand lovers dream. Sweet but so pretty!

Lira is that girl. I didn’t quite like the dry down at first because it was a bit harsh on the nose, but mixed with a sweet gourmand lotion added some softness to it. She’s definitely sexy!

Omg I love! Citrus caramel cinnamon. Perfect summer to fall transition scent!

Honestly not for me, way too sweet. Literally smells like caramel. Not a bad fragrance just not for me. Dries down to citrus with cinnamon. Good to mix with baccarat rouge 540 but on its own I’d pass.

Really nice scent. Vanilla caramel. I can’t smell the lemon right away for some reason. But I love this scent. Seems to last about 4 hours on my skin

Very lemon cake-y. Was not for me, and my did my husband like it either. I am not a huge gourmand fan nor a lemon cake fan, and this is very much both of those. I appreciate the art and the different layers, but I exchanged.

Anyone that knows me knows I love vanilla and caramel base notes. It's usually what I look for in a perfume. I am in love with this perfume. If you are looking for a bold perfume that people several feet away and smell, this isn't it. Lira goes on soft and gives you a gentle hint of orange and caramel. It dries down into a lovely caramel and vanilla scent. The sweetness is delicate. I found myself sniffing my wrist throughout the day. highly recommended!

very heavy on the lemon initially but definitely turns quickly to a creamier vanilla scent. The only reason it is not a 5 star for me is the longevity. I did get compliments from my daughter and her friends when I hug them, so it's a "close" fragrance but really nice.

Smells like a grandma

It was ok, I don’t get all the five stars. It smells like caramel with a weird orange top note which goes away leaving you smelling like basic caramel. Not something I’d spend 300 dollars a bottle on, but it’s not offensive

smells amazing, it goes on very lemon-y and sophisticated and then dries down into a delicious sweet cookie smell. i've gotten many compliments while wearing this

I like it. Smells like a lemon Pink Sugar with some spice. Not super strong or long lasting though, sits closer to the skin but prefer that than overly strong anyway. Glad to have at least tried it.

I love this one. It lasted a long time.

The scent smells good just not what I had imagined. I thought it would be a little sweeter on me. It also doesn’t last a long time on my skin.

Lira is absolutely beautiful! Think spicy warm lemon pound cake. I love her!! Nice sillage and projection. And she also has really good staying power.

Love the smell and lasted on me all day a caramel vanilla sweet smell openings of orange

Smells incredible…like a lemon cookie. Just wish it lasted longer.

A bit too powdery for my taste. It’s strange with the citrus.

Starts of smelling very vanilla with some citrus. Like a good lemon bunt cake but there is some herbal notes in the background. Then it settles into a lovely lemony caramel. I really like this even though I don’t really enjoy a sweet vanilla fragrance.

This is lovely, kind of a lemon pound cake scent.

I LOVEEEEEEEEEEE THIS SCENT! At first, I was actually kind of skeptical and off put by how sweet the first smell was, but then all the different undertones peaked through, and it was just such a beautiful sensual and rich smell. I absolutely love it and want to drench myself in this fragrance. I've gotten so many compliments on this perfume like I've never have before which was so exciting!! I will definitely be buying a full bottle!

Lovely

What a beautiful scent! One of my favorites by far. At first spray, I wasn’t sure but it quickly turned to a wonderful icy lemon cake gourmand with a touch of vanilla. The lemon stands out for me. I love it.

Nice fragrance, lemony and sweet. The opening smells like bug spray on me but withing 30ish minutes that goes away. I layer this with Cruz Del Sur II ( 1 spray Lira and 3 sprays Cruz ) and the combo smells phenomenal.

Easily my favorite gourmand and one of my favorite fragrances overall.

So cozy reminds me of baking on a cold fall day.

I wasn't sure what to make of this at first, but as soon as it began to dry down I really was able to appreciate it in all its glory. This is a warm and cozy gourmand that's complex but not too complicated. Suitable for the wintertime and for special occasions. It smells expensive and unique. This was a blind buy that I was happy about purchasing.

Love this scent! Reminded me of lemon poppy seed muffins right out of the oven!

Perfect gourmand! I love sweet vanillas and this is just pure yum.

Scent is pretty but it’s much softer than I expected. Because of this, I personally go nose blind to it pretty fast but other people say I smell good all day. I think this would be good for people who really do not want a strong scent but want something sweeter than the traditional skin scent. I like having this in my collection, but won’t be purchasing a full bottle.

Such a beautiful, mature gourmand!

Warm, lush smell that reminds me of Love, don’t be shy by Killian. However, there is that touch of cinnamon in Lira that makes the scent more grown-up! I will definitely keep this scent in mind when I finish the Killian fragrance!

I really wanted to love it but it does not last at all. I really dont want to have to keep reapplying it throughout the day, and for the hefty price tag for a new bottle I dont feel its worth it. It does smell beautiful but once my sample is through I wont invest in a bottle

Very different. Not what i am used to but definitely smells great.

Smells like fresh baked lemon desserts. Very warm and soft smelling. Could be worn all year round

It smells lovely like a piece of lemon pound cake and those types of smells are right up my alley. It settles into a soft, creamy vanilla

I wanted to love this one. On me it smelled like powdery plastic (think cabbage patch doll from the 1980s, that plastic but baby powder smell) with cinnamon on top.

Smells divine. I really love a lemon and vanilla fragrances. Only gave this 4 stars because the longevity isn’t up to par for such an expensive fragrance.

I really love this fragrance. I can see why it has such a high rating.

I really do love this gourmand fragrance! I was hesitant at first bc I don't want to smell like dessert. However, this is so different! It smells like a sexy lemon pound cake. I really do love it. I get compliments every time I wear it.

Lovely gourmand scent that has a distinct citrus top note.

Just received this as my first Premier delivery. I am very Impressed with this option and this scent. Lemony caramel goodness. If you love Prada candy or Benefit Caramello you will love this.

I love this. Definitely smells like lemon cake or cookies. Not beast mode projection. Sits close to the skin. Im sure if you over sprayed projection would be better. Would be good for work and good year round depending in where you wear it.

Gorgeous sweet lemon caramel delight! My skin picked up the lavender quite a lot but I love this note so it works very well. This one is full bottle worthy.

It’s does smell like a lemon cake. However personally, I wouldn’t wear it as often as I would like. It is definitely a gourmand scent and is good for those that like those kind of scents. I would say performance wise it did last at least 6hrs and had some projection. I personally would wear it for a date night out or any other night time affair.

Lovely sweet lemon cake fragrance upon first spray but unfortunately loses the citrus note upon dry down. Still leaves a beautiful sweet vanillic scent with moderate sillage and longevity. Mixed well with my skin chemistry. Not overly sweet or cloying. Would consider purchasing larger bottle.

Smells like orange, carmel, and vanilla cake batter. Beautiful citrusy sweet gourmand, its lovely. Not overly sweet, or heavy just right.

Smells like a cuteness cake then gets smokey
