What do reviewers say about Praliné de Santal 18.1 and Al Contrario?
Most hazelnut fragrances slide into praline territory. This one doesn't take the bait. Salt and sandalwood keep it dry, mineral, almost savory. It's hazelnut for people who find confectionery.Praliné de Santal 18.1
Not for those who want their vanilla comforting. Al Contrario demands attention first, asks questions later. The opening is genuinely challenging.Al Contrario
