    Real talk

    Bake starts all business with lemon, then quietly becomes a sugar rush. If the opening is too sharp for you, stick around because the Cream and Praline heart is where this fragrance earns its name.Bake
    Serenity doesn't shout. The mint-grapefruit opening hits bright and clean, but twenty minutes in, the marzipan and plum arrive like a slow exhale. It's the fragrance that knows when to stop talking.Serenity
