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.
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.

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