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.
This Xerjoff attar is a divisive beast. Some find its oud-vanilla blend a sweet, sophisticated masterpiece, while others are put off by a 'synthetic' opening. Definitely one to sample before committing, but if it clicks, it really clicks.
