What do reviewers say about Praline de Santal and Alba?
The name promises sweetness. The scent delivers something else entirely. Hazelnut and fleur de sel open with an unexpected savory edge before sandalwood and cedar settle in, soft and woody.Praline de Santal
Some people chase projection. Others understand that the best fragrances aren't the ones that fill a room, they're the ones that make someone lean in. Alba is for the second kind.Alba
