501 praline, licorice, patchouli

This is a sweet, warm gourmand fragrance centered around praline, hazelnut, and caramel, with a subtle nutty and musky base. It opens with a soft, toasted almond and buttered popcorn-like sweetness, tinged with citrus and subtle fruitiness, but quickly settles into a delicate, slightly airy gourmand accord. The licorice note is faint to absent in most experiences, and the patchouli is barely perceptible, with most wearers not detecting it clearly. The scent evokes a soft, candy-like warmth—reminding some of a lighter Angel or La Vie Est Belle, with a touch of Mugler’s Angel Muse. While pleasant and wearable, it lacks depth and tenacity, fading into a faint, delicate aura after a few hours, with no strong projection. The fragrance is unisex in intention but strongly perceived as feminine, with a cozy, intimate presence that’s best suited for close-range encounters, particularly during autumn and winter, and is well-suited for daytime wear. Some note a pull toward a soap-like or generalised gourmand scent, lacking distinct character or novelty, but many appreciate its affordability and gentler profile compared to high-end gourmands.
