Fids paff - Lemon Cake
Producer: German
Packaging: 10ml aroma in PET bottle + 120ml Chubby Gorilla bottle.
Freshly baked lemon cake coated with white icing. Like X-Berry Mint, similar design, simple, no unnecessary frills. The aroma doesn't belie the description, lemon cake, but all in a not too strong finish. The flavours, on the inhale the lemon is to the fore and then on the way out you get a little cakey garnish. The lemon is not sour, but not sweet either, you get the lemon zest itself, which gives it a faint bitter taste as well. The cake is very difficult to identify, a little biscuity, a little spongey. I'll be honest, the flavours come out a little faintly for me, although I tried it with a Mesh pan on purpose to get the flavours out more. I was expecting a bit more, a bit sweeter, stronger, more pronounced, but somehow it doesn't hit the mark, it's missing something. It's great that they put the zest in the lemon, which makes it special, but it could be stronger. The cake is really just there, you can't really make out what it would be and there's a lack of sweetness there too. I also miss the described icing, which would have given the product its real flavour, but unfortunately it was missed. Compared to the X-Berry Mint, I'm sorry to say I was a little disappointed with the product, however, on a good note, which may be of interest, it has quite a throat hit despite the fact that I filled the bottle with zero base. For me, the aroma is in the "workhorse" category as it is vaporizable, not throwaway, just lacking a lot.
