Probably my most emotional fragrance to date
I was looking for Akro fragrances for a long time, as they are considered different or at least take a different approach to the usual suspects.
The first one from the house was Bake and I have to say it hit me completely emotionally, especially at this time of year, the pre-Christmas season.
Let's start with the fragrance.
At the beginning, the fragrance is very citrusy paired with a good rum note.
The start reminds you a lot of those little bottles you use for baking, with lemon and rum inside. Complete baking feeling.
Shortly after the citrusy rum start, the praline, cream and a hint of vanilla are recognizably added and this combination reminds me completely of baking dough.
Paired with the initial notes, the vibes really come across in which you just fill these little ampoules into the dough with the flavors of lemon, rum and minimal vanilla / powdered sugar.
Right now this fragrance has hit me completely emotionally! This fragrance reminds me of the time when my mother was still alive and of course started baking in the run-up to Christmas and used exactly these elements.
There are so many memories that come to mind, which run visually in front of me, that they simply moved me to tears.
Even now, writing these words makes me very emotional and it's really incredible what a fragrance can do and evoke thoughts/memories in you.
Even if this fragrance is not quite my DNA, I would still like to thank the perfumer for evoking a piece of my most wonderful memory with this fragrance and for that I am infinitely grateful! I will definitely get myself a sample again and again and test/spray it again and again in the run-up to Christmas to bring back some of these emotional memories! I also believe that many will have their memories of their mother or even grandma with these certain baking aromas.
This is another reason why I would never wear this fragrance, because it just hits me too deeply emotionally every time, but still with a lot of joy and sadness at the same time!
Towards the drydown, the scent becomes more vanilla, but the citrus is still perceptible and reminds me of how a pastry, whether lemon cake or other baked goods, comes out of the oven warm and is cut and all the aromas spread! Simply amazing! So the fragrance remains and then becomes more and more gentle.
The longevity is ok and the sillage is not outstanding, but as I said, the memory it evokes is exactly what makes this fragrance for me!
Thank you for this wonderful and above all emotional fragrance!
