Yummy lemon cupcake

This was a very successful blind buy for me. I first fell in love with Citrus Gourmands when I tried the sadly discontinued Riviera Postcard by And Other Stories. When I saw that Bake had been released, I honestly couldn't wait to sample before I bought, so I purchased the 30ml straight away.

This smells exactly like it's supposed to - a yummy lemon cupcake. The lemon top notes are, however, unfortunately fleeting, although the praline drydown does last a really long time. This is a gorgeous summery gourmand!

Good Luck Prying This From Me

This is a really nice lemon option for me as someone who is being introduced to it in a fragrance. Under the lemon trees from Replica was too dish soap cleaner for my taste, and so I got scared of anything too lemon forward. All that changed with Bake.

This has a strong lemon opening, but it’s grounded and balanced with a more gourmand type of sweetness. I realize I really need that grounded effect (the only way I know how to describe it) to like an otherwise “light” or “super sweet” scent. The lemon in here really pretty and refreshing, and lingers throughout the wear to help lift the rest of the notes. This is cozy and sweet, wearing in perfect harmony. It’s an addictive, sophisticated lemon cupcake and I can’t stop smelling my arms when I wear this for the life of me.

Sweet, lemon vanilla cake, well done

Sampling the most recent release from Akro, Bake, inspired by a scent of a bake shop involving lemon, vanilla, praline, brown sugar, rum, and Chantilly cream, a creamy vanilla lemon cake of sorts. It has a good mix of the sweet and tart aspects, being sugary but not overwhelmingly so. It’s definitely a gourmand for gourmand lovers, though, quite sweet, a little cake-ish, and a little sugary, with a healthy lemon note that nonetheless does not take over items of tartness of general citrus character. The whole fragrance feels well conceived and patiently balanced.

This reminds me of a couple of other similar gourmand scents, like Kerosene Unknown Pleasures and Xerjoff Lira, though all three are distinct in their own ways, as there is a bit more caramel in the other two, a bit more vanilla in Bake.

In the US, Akro fragrances are sold via the house website as well as Luckyscent, and the current brand pricing is $180 for 100ml, in EDP concentration, still under the $2/ml for niche that I find to be quite reasonable in the evolving market. This is probably my favorite of the line, along with the coffee-led Awake.

Yummiest of ´em all

It´s my current obsession, teleports me immediately to childhood dream where houses are made of bisquits and vanilla cream is for rivers, praline candies for stones and whipped cream for bushes. Charlie and the Choclat Factory gift store would sell it for sure :)

It´s really unique in it´s bold way of beeing so sweet. It´s impossible not to think about any cake with lemon zest and vanilla. So delicious I wanna bite my skin :)

Lasts really well and get´s lots of attention meanwhile, eveyone in a room starts to have these tasty visions. Zero negative or controversial vibes.

A Baker's Dream

Are you in search of a lemon cake gourmand? Look no further; This is it!

Bake is a freshly baked lemon cake, fresh and moist with a zesty lemon twist. My mouth is watering and I feel the cake all the way back in my throat. The cake is light, has a lot of sugar and a sugar-glacing. Fortunately the lemon is quite strong, if it wasn’t this would have been waaaay to sweet and nauseating.

The drydown is what really shines for me. That is when the rum and vanilla really comes forward. I thought I wouldn’t get it, beacuse I couldn’t smell even a trace of the rum in the opening, but there it was. The scent gets so much more complex and deep, and not just a simple sugarbomb. But I can’t get ahead of myself, it is still a sweet lemon cake through and through.
