501 Praline Royale
501 Praline Royale by Bon Parfumeur is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot, hazelnut and yuzu, moves into iris, praline and licorice and dries down to amber, musk and patchouli. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Hazelnut Roasted, buttery and nutty. Warm and dessert-like.
- Yuzu Japanese citrus — like grapefruit and mandarin crossed. Crisp and clean.
Heart
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Praline Caramelised nuts. Sweet, toasty and very moreish.
- Licorice Sweet anise with a dark, salty edge. Divisive and distinctive.
Dry-down
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
