What does Gâteau au Citrón smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. The sweet, easygoing profile can sit on men and women alike.

Lemon zest brings a citrusy, fruity lift. Butter batter, buttercream and roasted coconut settle it onto a creamy, sweet base. The gourmand and creamy accords lead, with a slightly synthetic sheen. Akro Bake and Bath & Body Works Iced Lemon Pound Cake have a close profile.
