Caramel

Caramel in perfume is built from molecules found in toasted sugar, and it gives a buttery sweetness with a lightly scorched edge.

Everyday reference
It is the smell of sugar turning amber in a hot pan, just before it burns.
Versus Praline
Praline is caramel with roasted nuts folded in, so it smells toastier and less buttery than plain caramel.
What to smell for
Look for a sticky, dessert-like sweetness that lasts into the last hours of wear.
