By the editors · 2 min readThe name promises sweetness, but raspberry and jasmine open onto something smokier and more resinous than expected. Frankincense and incense pull the opening into a cool, slightly medicinal register that complicates the fruit quickly.
Benzoin deepens things considerably in the base, lending a balsamic warmth that feels more churchy than confectionery. Ambroxan pushes through with its characteristic dry, woody-amber presence, stopping the benzoin from reading as pure sweetness.
Papyrus contributes a papery, faintly earthy dryness that keeps the composition grounded. Despite the name's promise of praline, this runs drier, smokier, and more austere than a dessert accord — an amber-balsamic structure with fruity and smoky facets.
