The Pride Perfume opens on real floral confidence, Armaf pairing orange blossom, jasmine, and mandarin orange for a start that gives little hint of the unexpected gourmand depth waiting further in. Almond and coffee take the entire middle, an unusual turn that gives the whole composition distinction from typical florals nearby. Cacao pod, tonka bean, and patchouli close the whole composition out with a dense, gourmand richness built for evening wear.
This Eau De Parfum suits formal occasions especially well, distinctive rather than conventional about its own unusual personality. Few florals commit this fully to an unusual almond and coffee pairing that most other houses would likely avoid entirely throughout an entire, evening's wear and well into the following morning.
