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.
This cult favourite is a divisive gourmand. Some reckon it's a masterpiece, others say it's nauseatingly sweet. Expect plenty of boozy caramel and spice, but don't expect a consensus.
