SW - London Lemon Curd...

Recommended Posts

What type of lemon are you looking for ? A verbena type or something sweeter ? These might be too sweet for you idk ???

But I LOVE Fillmore iced lemon biscotti - super yummy and strong too. ICS Lemon ice box cookie is good & WSP has a lemon

seed and parsley but it's  tart so I don't know if you'd like that one. I've heard WSP lemon & verbena type is good and their 

verbena Loctaine type .

I am looking for more of a tart lemon than a sweet lemon.  I will mainly be using to it blend with other FO.

If I recall correctly many on here have said they like Lemon Pucker ? from Bitter Creek  and I think Day Star has a similar one too .

When I was on the Bittercreek forum Lemon Pucker was a huge huge seller as everyone loved it.  I never ordered it myself as that is not my type of fragrance, but it wouldn't hurt to order a sample of it as it supposedly is that good.  Bittercreek has a lot of wonderful fragrances that I love myself so you could always order other things with it.

I think I have 16 ounces of SW London Lemon Curd here.  Let me go check!  Oh and I love Lemon Pucker, nice and lemony but not close to the curd.

Moonstar, BCN Lemon Pucker is a good lemon scent; it's up there with AH Lemon Slices.   I like to use them as the base for my lemonade concoctions (Blackberry, Cherry, Mango, blueberry, etc.)

If you ever decide to part with any of that SW London Lemon Curd, please let me know :)

The search continues....

Lemon Pucker (BCN) - OOB very nice, have not put it in wax yet, but is seems like it is missing that something extra I am looking for.

Lemon Verbena (TFC) - Very nice and strong, great CT and HT, not quite what I am looking for for this one but will find a home I'm sure.

Iced Lemon Biscotti (AH/RE) - Very true to the name good HT, but too much biscotti and no creamy, milky note that I am looking for.

How about adding something like Got Milk or milk and honey to a simple lemon for that cream note? None of those listed come close to the tsw London lemon curd alone. 

 

I have played with litsea cubeba and various sugar and milky notes and liked some of the results.

I have, somewhere, an old bottle. Not sure if it was the old or new formulation off the top of my head. I didn't love it enough to dupe at the time.... someone on another forum was trying to have I done by Daystar if i remember correctly but it was not popular enough to get off the ground. 

 

You might drop a line to daystar to see if they still have the dupe codes and are willing to host a buy.
