Dulcis in Fundo

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.
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.
