Hazelnut Praline

Amazing fragrance, the price is great for such a niche beautiful scent. Starts very straight dark dry chocolate realistic similar to chocolate greedy from montale. Then changes into a sweet almond chocolate refined scent. VERY wearable, smells classy and expensive. not overly sweet at all, you will not be smelling like a bakery. This is GOOD STUFF

I've purchased all 3 new releases and this one is my favourite. Very similar to Le Gourmand for a fraction of the price. I also liked the Gingerbread one whereas the Apple Pie on my skin, has a very prominent cinnamon note that is similar to Sphinx's Horchata Vanille

The 3 Kalotinis rleases of 2025 F/W are not ultra edible gourmands, unlike other more recent releases, BUT please keep reading. I do absolutely enjoy gourmands (they make up majority of my collection) and Hazelnut Praline beautifully blends delicious praline/Nutella (these notes being especially prominent in the opening, then blending into a more homogeneous) scent with some very beautiful girly perfume, in the best way. If I was reading such review, I would probably thinking this is not for me, but I encourage you to try it. You might end up loving it as much as I do. And if you want something delicious but do not wish to smell like food, this also might be perfect for you. I like to think of this scent as a hybrid between La Gourmand by Jousset (probably my favourite chocolaty scent, pure realistic Nutella, a bit salty, just pure perfection with suberp lasting power) and Born in Roma Extradose by Valentino (sweet, loud, girly, pretty and kind of closer to the gormand side, out of the existing designer offerings). Performance is moderate, a few extra sprays are needed for a scent bubble, and it lasts well. Also all 3 releases (Hazelnut Praline, Gingerbread Dough and Apple Pie) are super festive, Hazelnut Praline and Gingerbread Dough especially makes me think of Panettone by Fragranze and Like This by Etat Libre d'Orange, but better!

This is definitely my favorite fragrance from this year's TK Christmas collection, although of the three it's the least Christmassy. Hazelnut Praline smells exactly like the name suggests. Most people will think of it as Nutella but I'm most reminded of Milka's Noisette milk chocolate with creamy hazelnut paste, or the nougat-like Merci chocolate. The scent is intensely nutty, and the chocolate is milky but not too sweet. After a while, you can smell the dry cocoa more but with the nuts still present. It's not a heavy scent; it has a surprisingly spacious, light, and fresh feel. I especially recommend it to men. I have a feeling it would smell more interesting and masculine on men's skin. Longevity is quite good, lasting for several hours, but it could project a bit better. After an hour it's close to the skin. Despite this I highly recommend trying it out because the composition is very interesting. 8/10

Sweetness, comfort, and warmth—that’s exactly what this fragrance is all about. It's the kind of scent that wraps you in a cozy embrace and instantly lifts your mood. I do wish it had a bit more longevity, but considering the price, the performance is perfectly acceptable. Ideal for cold days when you want something comforting and inviting, this fragrance brings a sense of warmth and a smile with every wear. A great choice for anyone looking for an affordable, cozy scent for the colder months.

This starts off as a sweet hazelnut, then quickly turns to a more savory dried almond skin. The notes listed are very accurate to what it smells like. While I do like it and find it unique, this is not my favorite of TK's gourmand offerings. I would not compare this to Le Gourmand by Jousset at all. Le Gourmand is milky, chocolatey, fatty, edible. This is drier, nuttier, more savory, and spiced with a hint of cocoa.

Very masculine leaning, (obv anyone can wear it but if we’re talking stereotypical scent profiles) the Spice notes in this is very prominent and the only note that I smell on my skin. It reminds me of cologne, not my thing. Was hoping to at least smell the slightest HINT of chocolate or sugar but got nothing but spices. Though the projection on this is quite strong, which would be nice if I liked the scent. It kinda gives me a headache smelling it 😭

I don’t get any chocolate from this. Smells like hazelnut praline but instead of sweetness I get a fresh floral scent. Not for me. Masculine leaning imo.

It smells like a hazelnut praline cookie topped with shaving cream. Nice concept but the notes don't blend well together.

A simple hazelnut facet, more nutty and green than sweet, sitting on top of a masculine floral scent that really does not match what I expected. I thought it would be gourmand, or at least sweet, but it smells more like the cologne of the guy who picked the hazelnuts.

Spray generously after shower, slip into a hooded terry robe, and sit wrapped in a hazelnut-chocolate cocoon, melting into comfort and a childlike kind of joy. You are your own sweetest little donut (leave your woody monsters and stern chypres for the office — along with your social masks).

One of my favourite from the brand. Not fully gourmand to me, I feel something perfumey as well. Mixed with Baccarat rouge it’s heavenly! I recommend everyone trying this combo
