About

Vanilla praliné is the vanilla-forward version of the praline accord. Caramelised sugar and roasted hazelnut are still there, but the vanilla has come up from a background warmth to the lead. It smells sweet, toasted and creamy, and the nut sits under the vanilla rather than being replaced by it.

Scent Profile

Vanilla Praliné smells sweet, toasted and creamy, with vanilla leading rather than sitting in the background. Roasted hazelnut sits underneath the vanilla, caramelised and warm rather than raw. A milky, creamy body carries the sweetness, backed by a rich, buttery fattiness from the toasted nut. A soft, balsamic warmth lingers in the drydown.

Origin

This is an assembled accord, not a material. No plant or animal yields it and no house sells it under this name. The build is ethyl maltol for caramelised sugar, lactones such as gamma-nonalactone and gamma-octalactone for the milky, buttery body, a roasted-nut element from hazelnut or almond, and vanillin. CA Perfume gives a model formula of ethyl maltol 20-25 per cent, gamma-nonalactone 20-25 per cent, hazelnut accord 25-30 per cent and vanilla 25-30 per cent. So vanilla carries as much of this accord as the hazelnut does. Coumarin adds a warm, hay-like, almond-skin undertone.
