A Sweet Pastry In Paris

Which Should You Buy?
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.
This ZARA cheapie is a divisive one. Fans adore its buttery, tart lemon pastry charm, often grabbing backups. Detractors can't get past a perceived synthetic lemon cleaner opening, finding it artificial and cloying. If you like sweet gourmands, it's worth a sniff.
