No cotrect notes. No correct date of launch. I think this was born around 1992, 1994.
Directly from the Notes Book by Etro (officially):
lemon bergamot orange petitgrain Paraguay
rosewood lavender rosmary thyme crisp mint carnation leaves
sandal mysore vetiver incense
Yes it is a sweet lemon. Flowery incense tones.
Very pleaseant and romantic.

received the sample today,
and to be honest, i really want to like this scent, but unfortunately, i can’t like it that much.
i do get fresh lemon on the opening, but it turns into something flat afterwards. its pretty linear. but for those of you who like “lemon” notes, give it a try.
Try before you buy.

“Lemon Sorbet” is the first fragrance I´ve tried from Etro even though, judging by many of the reviews of the juice, it´s not been enthusiastically embraced by the perfume community. Now I understand why.
“Lemon Sorbet” opens with a fresh burst of citruses (lemon, to be more precise) combined with herbs (petitgrain and rosemary). The herbal notes lend some quirkiness to the composition in the form of a slightly dirty vibe which prevents the scent from being categorised as “yet-another-uninspiring-summery-citrusy” cologne. In the heart, its herbal character is sustained by the appearance of lavender, but the scent gradually loses much of its intensity. The base is a bit of an anticlimax, demonstrating that “Lemon Sorbet”, just like many other citrus-based fragrances, has fallen into the common trap of failing to maintain one´s interest down to the basenotes.
On balance, if I were given a flacon of “Lemon Sorbet” as a gift, I definitely wouldn´t roll my eyes but would be quite contented to use it till the last drop. However, since such a scenario seems highly unlikely, there are much better citrus scents out there that my nose and heart (but not my wallet, unfortunately) hanker after. Still, I find “Lemon Sorbet” to be an interesting enough introduction into the world of Etro fragrances.

This is soft and quite nice.
Starts off with a beautifull bunch of citruses.juicy lemons true to nature is notthat easy to find in perfumes. No way near lemon napkins or detergent !
It gets softer and strangely morphs into a beautiful soft lavender and sandalwood. The sage is vaguely there and vetiver does not exist on my skin – luckily ! There’s one note that usually turns maleish on my skin.
Puiww ! Not a sight of it.
This is something I would enjoy getting , but buying their 100 ml bottle
is way too much for my needs.
Overall : Lovely citruses mellows into a type of lavender skinscent sort of thing.
Nice !

Lemon Sorbet is an expensive take on sorbets by Etro, or so one may be led to believe!
Actually, I give them credit for on the sample card, they have described the main feel of what you get very well, if not to perfection! To quote the text; the ‘pungent freshness of citrus fruits and maquis shrubs’. It goes on to say ‘thirst-quenching lemon’ and ‘aroma of bitter oranges’.
And that’s exactly what you get! Strong and brisk at the start, with a very notable herbal/petit-grain vibe, this is not the tart side of lemon but much greener. Think of Di Parma’s Colonia. Rosemary is certainly detectable too, just as in Colonia too.
But how does this resemble a sorbet? I surely do not want herbs and bushy shrubs in my lemon dessert!
I prefer this to that other Italian offering, but I really was looking for a tart, ambery-lemon, something more smooth and sweeter and less herbal.
While it’s nice and Ok, I cannot score this very highly at all, it’s price is very high for something essentially linear and non-original in this Chypre genre (an understatement) and it’s not doing much apart from the predictable!
High 2/5. It’s better than Colonia for me, but I just cannot justify a bottle of this!

this was my first non-mainstream fragrance…at that time I was totally relieved to find something that wouldn’t nauseate me in terms of (beginning of 90ies) heavy florals, shrill and acrid aquatics or numb vanilla. so nice, still, the vetiver in this…- it’s not a real citrus scent, nor it is has a sorbet-like quality, it’s much more a dry&silvery, spicy citrus-vetiver thing and not much on the juicy side…

Lemon Sorbet smells close to its name. It has the tang smell of a juicy and a bit sweet lemon.I do smell strong,lemon,lavender on a slightly sweet base of sandalwood.I really enjoy sniffing Lemon Sorbet.Very refreshing and energizing,true citrus scent.Smells like you dig your nails into a lemon or like lemon zest.One of my favorites from Etro.My only complain is the lasting power,I wish it was longer..

I do find the name misleading. I know it’s unisex so wasn’t expecting something overly sweet, but lemon sorbet makes me think something more tart and fresh. This fragrance is more like what you’d smell if you had a lemon tree next to some herbs and greenery. I smell the lemon at first application but that fades pretty quickly leaving the bergamot front and center. The dry down is spicy with it’s rosemary. It’s definitely not a “feminine” fragrance but nice if you want something citrusy without being sweet. It’s also not very long lasting.

True, it’s a very energizing scent, but like most lemon scents it fades away too quickly. Try Sol La by Reminiscence, it lasts much longer! (But is also a lot sweeter)

Lemon Sorbet. Sounds good? I don’t usually go for lemon scents, but I do like Lemon Sorbet so much! I guess it’s the rosemary and vetiver notes that make it so special. Very uplifting and energizing scent, but my only wish would be for Lemon Sorbet to longer lasting. It leaves my skin after 30 minutes. What a pity!
