Praliné au Caramel

Yummy! I don't know what the other reviewers are smelling, but this smells smooth and DELICIOUS to my nose! This surprised me by how much I loved it! I ordered a sample of this not really thinking I'd like it, but I wanted to try it since since people have been on the pistachio hype train. I figured if I didn't like my sample, I could pass it along. I put this on my wrists when I was going to bed and I could still smell it when I woke up! This doesn't smell like Cheirosa '62 by Sol de Janeiro, to my nose, but I absolutely need this in the BIGGEST size! Ahhh, soooo good! I have a lot of fragrances, many that aren't even listed on Fragrantica, so I have close to 500 fragrances. I included that for context to say that I don't buy full size bottles anymore unless I absolutely love the scent and I usually just buy the travel spray or the 1oz/30 ml bottle. I might buy the 1 oz/30 ml bottle of this from Kyse, but I really think I'll buy the 2 oz/60 ml because this scent can be worn year round! This is gourmand and beautiful for the Fall/Winter months, but also fresh enough for Spring/Summer months! It's not heavy or cloying. It's sweet, but it has the slightest touch of salt to made freshness. The salt note listed was one reason I was hesitant to even order a sample, but I love it and it's so well done! The perfumer did a wonderful job! What I smell first and pretty much equally is the caramel and the creamy coconut, with the touch of salt from the ocean nearby like you're sitting on the beach drinking a sweet milky coconut drink and you ate a caramel. It does not smell ozonic though! Ozonic notes often give me migraines and smell weird to me, so I'm thankful this doesn't smell ozonic. The perfumer did a great job making this smell like you could be near an ocean without making it smell weird. Love this one!

Reading these reviews makes me confused. I had to double check that this was the same perfume we are talking about. I'm not sure if people smell this, don't like it, and then attribute it the listed notes as an afterthought. I simply don't recognize the notes described by many of my fellow perfume lovers in these reviews. It might change your experience to let the perfume rest a few months. To my opinion: in short - a soft, fluffy pistachio with a hint of marzipan. Dries down airy and inoffensive. I also have Cheirosa and it has a few similarities, but where Cheirosa is a bit fruity and beachy like a summery Victoria's Secret body mist, Praline au Caramel is a pure gourmand with loud nutty notes. I am happy to wear a nutty gourmand that is not a hazelnutty patchouli nutella bomb like Angel Muse by Mugler, or a bitteralmond christmas cookie like Xerjoff's Italica (I love them all dearly). Out of all Kyse perfumes this and Oui Plus will be my favourites. DouceurBrulee and Gateau de Carneval can be appreciated by me but not worn because of their burnt and respectively thick and sultry graham cracker quality. This Praline au Caramel one is perfectly nutty, sweet and cozy for me.

Wow! A potent praline and pistachio gourmand with a dash of salt and coconut. This definitely came on too strong for me on the opening. There was an artificiality about the notes. Gradually the artificial aspect fades and it actually improves. Impressive silage in a 24 degree room. A delicious nutty caramel confection. It is sweet but it doesn't put my teeth on edge. I have no idea what capuacu smells like and assume it provides almost a dry, woody fibrous quality as the base. If you love gourmands then it's a must sniff. Now one of my faves from the Kyse house. I get above average longevity in this warm. The silage is strong at the start but then it fades back to arms length after a while.

For me this a very singular fragrance - I get candy smelling caramel/praline. I wish I could detect the other notes mentioned but I just do not. It's SO good. When I crave this smell, nothing else does it and this delightful gem sure does the trick. The only change it makes through time on my skin is it goes a bit warmer which is even nicer than in the beginning!

Boozy, liquid caramel. Straightforward and linear. Fleeting but delicious. Best caramel I have tried but looking for one with more sillage and performance.
