Praliné de Santal 18.1 by Pierre Guillaume Paris is a Woody fragrance for women and men. Praliné de Santal 18.1 was launched in 2023. The nose behind this fragrance is Pierre Guillaume. The fragrance features Hazelnut, Sandalwood, Sea Salt, Heliotrope and Cedarwood. A limited edition initially launched in 2011, PRALINÉ DE SANTAL was snapped up and sold out by our retailers in just a few days… “collector” bottles at impressive prices then appeared on second-hand sites, much to the dismay of fans. Requests for returns of this fragrance continued unabated for over a decade.A woody mischief. In 2009, at the height of the perfumer’s Dark Gourmand period, a fan challenged the perfumer during a joyful and passionate in-store customer-creator meeting:– “Make us a sandalwood-hazelnut…but nothing sweet!” The latter, amused by the interesting association, simply replied: – “A subject for an essay… I dare you!”A Sandalwood that is both monolithic in its proportions and ethereal in its evolution, tenderly powdery and enhanced by just-roasted hazelnut.In the heart, the perfumer uses the powdery strength and diffusive power of heliotrope to energize and space out the notes: the accord gains in volume and lightness, sandalwood is omnipresent without collapsing.In the base notes, Cedarwood stiffens the sandalwood and gives it verticality, while Fleur de Sel gives it a driftwood air and definitively neutralizes any hint of sweetness.
