Praline is what really separates it from the original, and it only arrives after twenty minutes of sharp citrus — judging it on the opening would mean judging the other perfume. Cedar and vetiver keep it from turning into dessert, black amber holds the close. Go sparingly: the sweetness fills a small space quickly.
