Lorenzo Pazzaglia Sweet Explosion Extrait

Description

Released in 2023 and listed on fragrance databases as "Sweet Xplosion," this gourmand extrait de parfum is Lorenzo Pazzaglia doing what the house does best: turning up the volume. It opens with a burst of white honey, coconut milk, lime, and grapefruit, moves into a lush floral-gourmand heart of davana, argan, ylang-ylang, broom, malva, and Taif rose, and settles into vanilla, coffee, tonka bean, benzoin, patchouli, and musk. Reviewers have also noted an undeclared touch of star anise in the opening. It's unabashedly sweet and unisex, dessert-adjacent in the best way.

Scent Character

• Sweet: 41%

Translation: this is a sweet gourmand first and foremost, with a woody-patchouli base and a light floral heart. The "resinous" note here is warm benzoin, not agarwood.
