Sweet Praline

Sweet Praline is SO pretty!!!! I already loved the name and was uber-excited to try this one because I'm a huge fan of Alberto Morillas' creations - all the way back to Daisy :-) Many seem to be underwhelmed by this one and prefer For Your Love, which I also adore, but I'm more in love with Sweet Praline for its refined and subtle presentation of a lightly floral gourmand with just a hint of raspberry. Though it's light, it creates a noticeable scent bubble and I detect it wafting around me as I move around. I love my beast-mode performers, but also appreciate having some quieter options in my collection for casual / work wear, and this is an ideal option. The benzoin here provides warmth and the perfect level of sweetness, balanced out beautifully by the watercolor florals and topped off with a slightly tart and juicy raspberry note. The scent of this truly makes my eyes roll back in ecstasy! Sweet Praline is fluffy, charming and so delicate and lovely. I REALLY wish there was a 50 ml, however, as it's pricey, and I do wish the longevity were a bit better for the price. However, with 100 ml, you can douse yourself ;-) Don't listen to all the naysayers - experience this one before dismissing it. It is BEAUTIFUL!!

Not every scent is for everyone. Some are pleasant, some are orgasmic and some are absolutely horrid. I started learning about niche fragrances at the end of 2019. Now, I can't get enough of the niche world and I'd like to believe that I'm a better woman for it (jk lol). I've sampled many and bought a few fragrances but never wrote a review. Anywho, this scent right here makes me so HAPPY...I literally smile when I smell this scent. From the first sniff, I knew that it was a love and I knew it would be my signature scent. I don't think this is for everyone and I'm also not saying that it's the best scent in the world. However, when you find something that you love...hold onto it. I think that this is appropriate for everyday (whether you work at home or in an office environment). I find that this is feminine leaning. I personally love powdery, sweet, ethereal, soft scents and this one fits the bill for me. My husband also loves this scent on me so it's a win/win. I'll probably buy a back-up bottle because I love it that much!

Buying this to layer with immediately!!! Happy accident, I layered this over one of my signatures and became *that girl* need. Gorgeous girls wear thisssss. Raspberries princessss. Great performance, it lasts and projects over one of my beast mode fragrances. Edit: Has become my signature as of late. I just feel so pretty wearing this. Edit 2:I’m in love with this perfume. No one buy it it’s mine 😭 just kidding.. I’m very happy I found this by accident. NO influencers have talked about this and I’m so happy about it. It’s a lightly caramelized raspberry with a high end luxe grip I’m just in love with it. I want to wear it everyday. edit 3: this fragrance is perfect to me. its everything I love in one. its feminine and feels innovative. luxury with a freshness, something clean something rich something bright and spritzy and something suave, moody. A fragrance for a high fashion siren ;) Its everything I want in a fragrance, so perfect.

This raspberry-cotton candy confection is as light as air: fluffy, dreamy, sugary but not overly sweet, syrupy or cloying in the least. I’m getting vibes of Nishane’s Hundred Silent Ways and BR540 (but without the latex or medicine cabinet notes) in the opening. Yet the whole composition isn’t so light it floats off into the ether. It is grounded just enough with papyrus wood and frankincense. Stays pretty linear, but I’m fine with that! This is a great example of what a master perfumeur, such as Sr Alberto Morillas, can do when given free artistic reign.

It’s unfair, the low rating! To me, it’s a very pleasant, not too serious, feminine bright warm scent. I don’t get bored of this perfume. The fruity aspect of it is very uplifting and interesting. Overall, it’s really nice 💓 I don’t care about longevity.. it’s for me to enjoy, the combination of the notes is beautiful.. from the moment you spray til it fades away it’s a fun journey.. personally I don’t like great longevity.. it’s for those with one single parfume in their closet .. for those like me however, better not😄
