History

In perfumery, the milky-sweet note of praline owes its success to the creation of “Angel,” a perfume developed by Thierry Mugler and first released in 1992, and then quickly taken up in “Lolita Lempicka” in 1997. These fragrances marked the beginning of a new gourmand-obsessed era in the history of perfumery, taking notes like praline by the hand and bringing them to the forefront.
