Which Should You Buy?
Akro Bake is a truly divisive one, this. Half the population reckons it's the ultimate lemon gourmand: fluffy, delicious, full of zing. The other half can only smell lemon cleaner. If you can get past the first blast, it mellows into a genuinely comforting, edible scent. Otherwise, it's a hard pass.
Divisive and totally unique. American Cream is a Lush classic, but don't expect a straightforward gourmand. Prepare for creamy vanilla and a synthetic 'doll head' vibe that polarises opinions.

While some find it an acceptable office scent, its strong gourmand character means it's better suited for casual wear or dates where its deliciousness can be appreciated. The sweet, creamy accords and strong sillage in the opening make it too impactful for formal or sport settings.

Occasions
Its soft sillage and comforting character make it an excellent choice for casual wear, often mentioned as a bedtime or 'clean girl' scent. While some find it subtle enough for the office, its distinct, almost quirky profile might be less suited for formal events. It's too subdued and sweet for sport.
