Bon Parfumeur 501 praline, licorice, patchouli is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Philippe Romano. 501 praline, licorice, patchouli opens with Bergamot, Yuzu, and Hazelnut, settles into a heart of Iris, Licorice, and Praline, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Musk, Amber, and Patchouli. Bon Parfumeur's 501 praline, licorice, patchouli carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one is as divisive as its namesake notes. Some will love this sweet, nutty gourmand with its subtle liquorice twist, finding it a cozy and comforting embrace. Others will find the sweetness overwhelming or the liquorice note off-putting, leading to a strong pass.

About

501 opens with a charming burst of hazelnut, softened by a touch of bright yuzu. The heart quickly unfolds into a creamy praline and iris accord, with a whisper of liquorice adding a subtle edge. The dry down is a warm, enveloping blanket of caramel, patchouli, and musk, settling into a comforting, sweet embrace that lingers for hours.
