Yummy spiced tea!
I do not understand why this is called Rose Praline. Perhaps it's skin chemistry? Firstly, rose is just in the background, and I don't get pralines from this at all. Having said that, this is a very delish fragrance!
When I sprayed this on, my mind screamed "Chai tea!" It is immediately spicy and warm and a little sweet, so reminiscent of my favourite chai tea latte from Starbucks. There's a tiny tiny bit of a reddish rose, but it's mostly drowned in a sea of spices (especially the wonderful cardamom!), which turns out, isn't such a bad thing at all.
A spice-coated chocolate slowly emerges, and it's very well-rounded. I think of it as rolling a piece of chocolate around in your mouth just after you've had a sip of chai tea. It starts of as an almost milk chocolate before becoming darker. Positively yummy.
The rose only properly takes centre-stage right at the end, when a little more sweetness shows through. It's contrasted by the now bitter chocolate on a background of spices. It's a pity it took 4 hours for this to finally happen and for it to end up sitting so close to the skin at this stage, because it really is quite pretty.
Projection wasn't very strong, but still noticeable for the most part. Lasted around 5.5 hours on me.
