Which Should You Buy?
If you're after a straight-up lemon vanilla gourmand that skips the cloying sweetness, Cup Cake is a decent, affordable option. It's a comforting scent, if a bit simple, but don't expect a nuanced bakery experience.
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.
