Hall of fame · 🥇 Legends · №2 · 1992
Father of gourmands. Praline into patchouli — and a century of florals fell. In 1992 Cresp and de Chirin poured praline into patchouli, and sweets became a grown woman's perfume. Ethyl maltol, the molecule of cotton candy, at a dose that looked like a mistake. Every gourmand today is its grandchild. The crack: reformulation muted that killer trail, and next to its grandkids old Angel reads as "mom's". Legend as long as every new gourmand still has to explain why it isn't Angel.
