Akro Bake is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Olivier Cresp. Bake opens with Lemon Zest and Rum, settles into a heart of Cream and Praline, and dries down to a base of Brown Sugar and Vanilla. Akro's Bake carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

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.

About

Bake immediately hits you with a zesty lemon, sweetened by rum, giving a boozy, bright opening. This then softens into a creamy, indulgent heart of praline, evoking fresh-baked pastries. The dry down is a comforting blend of brown sugar and rich vanilla, creating a warm, sweet, and utterly edible finish. It aims for a photorealistic lemon pound cake, with a creamy, sugary depth.
