In his classic novel "À la recherche du temps perdu", the writer Marcel Proust showed how one can be transported back to childhood through a taste or a scent. For Proust, it was a dessert that did it: La Petite Madeleine.
For Olivier and Anaïs Cresp by AKRO, it's the lemon cupcakes at Carnaby Street's Crumbs & Dollies that do it. Whenever they're in London, they make a pilgrimage to the renowned patisserie in search of that transporting experience that reminds them of lost days, trips to the US and cozy afternoons spent hiding away from the bustle of central London. In honor of Crumbs & Dollies cupcakes and the evocative power of sweets, AKRO has created a new fragrance: BAKE, a perfume that recalls childhood delights and better times.
The first thing you'll notice are the tart notes of the lemon, followed by the nutty depth of the praline, and finally, the sweetness of the vanilla. These notes have been created with a number of unique raw materials, including lemon zest, rum, Chantilly cream and brown sugar.
Akro Bake: a sweet in a bottle
Akro Beacon it is a fragrance for any occasion. The only problem is that you won't just be satisfied with wearing it, you'll probably want to eat it too.
