It starts with blackcurrant, bergamot and lemon, a clean, sunny sharpness that wakes the whole thing up. Praline follows in the heart notes, nutty and sugared, softened by musk and a powdery violet. Underneath, black amber, cedarwood and vetiver frame the sweetness so it feels dry and mature. That balance is what makes it appealing if you like gourmand scents but usually find them heavy, because this one stays light on its feet. Voters place it in summer and in the daytime, which is not where you would normally expect a praline. Most wearers vote its longevity long lasting, and the sillage vote clearly settles on moderate. A 10ml decant lets you spend a warm season with it and decide from there. ## Decant sizes - 3ml: €16.56 - 10ml: €48.33 Ships within 1 working day ## Frequently asked questions ### Shipping and returns We ship across the EU.
