What does Praline in Maple smell like?

It reads as one piece: the gourmand sweetness of balsam and chestnut is checked by black pepper, pink pepper and clove. Cedarwood and gaiac wood lay down a woody, faintly smoky floor, while Indonesian patchouli adds depth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Voters split evenly between masculine and feminine. Maison Margiela By the Fireplace and Emir Camp Fire have a close profile.
