Praline

What does it smell like?

Warm, sweet and nutty; some versions suggest chocolate, creamy toffee or roasted hazelnuts.

What is it?

A fantasy gourmand accord inspired by confectionery, not an extraction of a finished sweet.

The material

Nutty, toasted, sweet and creamy aroma materials assembled into a perfume effect.

Where does it come from?

The accord has no botanical growing region.

Types and forms

Hazelnut praline, chocolate praline and caramelised-nut effects are different interpretations.

Natural and manufactured materials

The perfume note describes a scent effect. It may be constructed from manufactured aroma materials and, where appropriate, natural extracts. The note name does not disclose a formula or certify ingredient origin.

How it is produced or composed

Filbertone can contribute hazelnut facets; sweet materials such as ethyl maltol and other ingredients build the surrounding confectionery effect.

Its role in perfume

Adds rounded sweetness and toasted depth to gourmand hearts and bases. Pyramid positions are useful tendencies, not fixed rules or performance guarantees.
