Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dulcis in Fundo
Dulcis in Fundo is one of the original creamy citrus gourmands - and it's still a banger. Some find it a bit basic now, but others swear it's the best of its kind. Expect a delightful creamsicle, just beware of batch variations in performance and some rogue sour notes.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Cup Cake EDP
Don't let the name fool you - this isn't a fluffy cupcake. Expect a sharp lemon hit upfront that mellows into a surprisingly fresh, slightly sweet vanilla. It's a brighter, cleaner take on gourmand, and polarising for those expecting pure dessert.

Season and Occasion Fit

Dulcis in Fundo

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

This is a versatile, comforting gourmand that works well for casual day-to-day wear and intimate dates. Its varying performance, from a skin scent to a monster, means for the office it's a bit of a gamble, while its sweetness typically makes it less suited for formal events or sport.

Cup Cake EDP

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its moderate projection and fresh, clean character make it suitable for casual wear or even a relaxed office environment. It’s too light and playful for formal settings, and while it has a fresh side, it lacks the invigorating punch for sport.
