I have a test of this one on my nightstand . It sends me the loveliest smells . I forget about it and every now and then the room fills upp with an addictive scent . I go around sniffing to find the source and always find myself with this baby . It reminds me of an old Kenzo I had . The yellow one who looks like Ca beau. So much better thou .

I’d like to first thank Svensk Parfym for the opportunity to test their first six fragrances.
I’m surprised by how much I enjoy Prakt, as I usually struggles with the two prominent notes here – blackcurrant and blackcurrant leaves: the intense greenness of the blackcurrant leaves in Diptyque L’Ombre dans L’Eau is too fierce for my taste, while the jammy sweetness of blackcurrant in many fruity gourmand fragrances is too overwheming for my liking. But in Prakt, the crunchy, vibant vegetal greenness and the ripe (yet not jammy at all) musky sweetness of blackcurrant and its leaves, along with the earthy tartness of rhubarb, are in perfect balance. And the fragrance really conjures a vivid image of fresh berries and rhubarb to me!
Prakt turns slightly more woody in the dry down and loses a bit of the dewy feeling in the opening, but it mostly remains this natural, realistic fresh berries and lush vegetations throughout its development and never disintegrate into an abstract clean white musk like so many green fragrances with a promising opening do. I sometimes detect a tomato leaf note, mostly because the vegetal, slightly earthy and wet soil-like greenness and fruity tart-sweetness have minor variation in proportions. If I spray a larger quantity on one sport, there’s also a slight burnt note that I encountered and struggled with in certain blackcurrant-heavy fragrances, but it doesn’t bother me that much as long as I don’t indulge myself too much with the spray.
Prakt has a moderate sillage and lasts about 9 hours on my skin.
I agree with many previous reviews that Prakt is a very evocative fragrance perfectly capturing the joy of picking berries and rhubarb in a lush garden at the end of summer. I’ve been searching on and off for a green blackcurrant fragrance that has the natural lush greenness but not too forceful, has the mouthwatering musky sweetness of the berries but not too sugary, and remains layered and engaging without falling apart into a nebulous clean laundry base. Prakt is pretty close to my ideal blackcurrant fragrance. Based on my personal experience with Prakt, I would highly recommend it to fans of blackcurrant and green fragrances.

To me this is fruity! a mix of “exotic” fruits from an orange icecream. it is not overpowering it is not cloying, it is not “perfumey” (i don’t realy like to wear perfume, but this one, as all work from “Svensk Parfym” is easy to wear)
It is recomended to try it out! I realy like it.
(this is based on a sample I was given by “Svenk Parfym”)

Fresh black currant! Instantly transported me 15-20 years back in time – YSL In Love again has got the same sharp, fresh black currant note, ILA is sweeter though. Anyway, I put a tiny drop on my arm before going to sleep. Woke up 7 hours later, PRAKT is still there. As I’m starting to activate and getting to senses the scent is waking up as well. Now it has this this aromatherapy vibe, calming. Totally unisex, comforting and great longevity.
Prince 27 – :
WOW! Black currant and rhubarb all over the place! I feel like I´m in my fathers garden after the rain picking rhubarbs for the pie I´m going to bake. I totally understand if some people don´t like it but I LOVE IT! Refreshing and crispy, a very green scent. Feels very organic. Somehow the old classic “ROMA” by Laura Biagiotti runs thru my mind…definitely going to purchase one! Makes me smile and I want to start the day. Very energetic.
ilnarg23 – :
A new perfume house from Sweden:) So cool!
The first thing that struck me when I applied the perfume was that it is a “good looking” fragrance. I know it sounds strange, but if it was a person it would be a very good looking guy/or woman, from Stockholm with taste for nordic elegance and design. Also it has a note in it (hiding in the shadows) resembling of the finnish sauna with the birch hanging on the walls, scenting the hot lava stones and woody hut.
Now combine all these ingredients with fresh grass, tart powdery berries and a soft musk, and there you have Prakt. This is a treat from the land of the northern lights with all its beauty and tranquility.
So happy to have this in my collection:)
Longevity: about 4 hours on my skin.
Projection: an arms lenght, so perfect for office.
loadlikekeerm – :
Hmmmm… all I get is grapefruit/pomelo. Like nothing else. Its smells nice, but lacks depth. Very much like Issey Miyake. My least fave so far… Longevity, again, is good 7-8 hours on my skin.
vikwww2011 – :
I recently got the chance to try all of the Svensk Parfym fragrances and so far, this is a favorite. It reminds me a bit of The Vagabond Prince Enchanted Forrest (as others seem to think as well)but more pleasant, and without that kind of sharp note I experienced in EF.
Prakt is a lot like taking a walk in the forest during a rather humid pre-rain summer evening, with the scent of different sweet-tart berries in the air. The rhubarb makes it stay on the sweet but not overly sweet side, and the earthy notes combined with the blackcurrant leaves makes it smell “dark green” and just forestlike. I like it a lot.
Well done Svensk Parfym!
Varess – :
I love fresh berries and adore green, herbal and woody fragrances. In my opinion Prakt is a gorgeously garden fresh, herbaceously leafy and realistically fruity (berries) masterpiece novelty with pleasant sillage and great longevity. For me the most prominent notes in the blend are black currant leaves and berries, rhubarb, gooseberries and apple trees still moist after the rain. Not at all too sweet, but rather sharp with just the right amount of tartness, Prakt is my favourite of the first three perfumes from Svensk Parfym 🙂
Greexenna – :
Wow, the opening is very, green, crisp and with lots of Black Currant leaves. It stays for a long while, and I also get the gooseberry tom some extent. I´m a sucker for “greenish” scents so this is right up my alley. Definitely bottle worthy. Best of the three in my humble opinion….Great Work Mr Lestreus
andrej110875 – :
I get a lot of black currant leaves with this one! Reminds me strongly of picking berries in my garden when I grew up. It’s definitely more green than fruity for me, and barely sweet. I love layering it with a vanilla though – that goes so well with it! It’s fairly long lasting on me, and I can smell it all day long.
zippo_ua – :
I was privileged to test PRAKT perfume.
These are some of the most wonderful perfumes I’ve had the pleasure to meet. Wonder! Gorgeous aroma of summer garden beaded by rain. I never felt something so well balanced, so perfectly matched.
When I’m wearing Prakt, the Enchanted Garden opens in front of me. Trygrace on my skin black currant with leaves, the aroma of apples falling on the fertile soil dewed summer rain. Wonderful aroma that enslaved me. After some time rhubarb is in the company of gooseberry.
Very suitable for summer and warm autumn. Power on me big, you can see my skin very much like me. Great durability. I felt them even after 10 hours. Scent wonderful <3
fjx208intitytek – :
I love this!
Tzollos – :
Beautiful, unique fragrance that I love. Initially black currant leaves but after drydown I get some rhubarb in a very pleasant way. This is one of my new favorites and I look forward to trying more from this new perfume house. They are up and coming but will I believe be doing great things.
archkirov – :
Prakt is an interpretation of a perfect Swedish garden with currants, rhubarb, apples and cool rain. First impression on my skin is red berries. Lingonberries possibly? Currants. Apple. A drop of rain. I want to pour this over ice and drink it. It’s Schweppes Russchian dressed as perfume. After some time a light muskiness appears. It’s a bit too clingy on my skin. Prakt could be an alternative for those who prefer unsweetened berries on a light base instead of modern sweet, patchoulibased blackcurrant-scents.
shuravi1964 – :
This fragrance brings back memories from when i was a little boy going barefoot in wet grass and picking black currant at my grandparents house back in Sweden – a really nice experience.
And yes, this smells real, not synthentic or unpleasent in any way.
Black currant, rhubarb, wet grass and (menthol?) is the most prominent scents according to me.
I was searching for a not to sweet, green scent without a overwhelming citrus note and this is spot on.
Scent 9/10
Long 7/10 (six hours on my skin)
Sillage 5/10 (skin scent after 1 hour)
This is my new spring/summer scent.
den33d2008 – :
A very realistic, natural smelling fragrance. The blackberry leafs are pungent and dry but later on become more and more juicy. I love the smell as it´s earthy, green and fruity at the same time and it projects well in the heat. The longivity is great on me and I would love a full bottle. Magnificent!!
jeugenijus – :
Prakt is the scent of the garden to the house I grew up in. My mum had a great interest in gardening, so she grew all sorts of berries, fruit and vegetables. One of the highlights of the summer was to run barefoot on the dark soil to pick black currants. The berries would become condiments and the leaves were left to dry in the kitchen in order to become tea. Prakt is all of this.
Prakt is a very realistic black currant, initially with the leaves, then the berries and the soil it grows in comes to play. On my skin that’s it, except for the woodsy dry-down. It’s beatifully made, not sweet, nor overly tart. This is good quality stuff.
vikingvlada – :
Can’t describe my impressions as eloquently as others here, but I really enjoyed the uniqueness of Svensk parfym’s fragrances, their heritage vibe, high quality, “oilyness” and “simple” combination of notes. I’ll probably buy the discovery set.
3121997 – :
Out of the three Svensk Parfym scents i got to try out, this is the one I like the most, it starts off with a blast of black currant leaves and then moves over to more Scandinavian berries and softens down to a fruity musky fresh lovely scent for early summer nigths. Really like it!
Kakashechka – :
I am not a huge fan of summer scents as they are all quite boring and very similar with citrus notes dominating from the first start until the very end. I am glad that Svensk Parfym did not try to go the same path as many other houses and that they chose to be different but yet come up with something of high-quality ingredients that perfectly fits the summer weather. I have tried all the three perfumes from this house and this one seems to be my favourite. What I get from Prakt are black currant leaf and some sweet fruity notes which I really love. I am looking forward to seeing what they come up with for the colder winter days/evenings.
Scent: 9/10
Projection: 8/10
Longevity: 8/10
edik19741976 – :
Lovely summer perfume with strong clear notes without being overpowering. Long-lasting. A fresh simple fragrance that avoids the pitfalls of common denominator citrus and musk so prevalent in today’s perfumes. Quite sweet and original.
The impression I get is swedish pop-music interpretation of forest in perfume.
Saneg – :
Prakt is my absolute favorite from Svensk Parfym. The most prominent note on my skin is blackcurrant leaves. Although, the dry-down has no trace of it, instead it’s an almost sensual fragrance. I believe it is the rain notes in combination with the earthy notes. It’s superb!
GALICH – :
This is the smell of picking black currants and gooseberries,barefoot in the Swedish soil, late in the afternoon, after a sunny day…Maybe more the smell of the leaves than the berries, but this is so very authentic, the smell of my childhood´s summers.
I wish I could be able to smell the gooseberries a bit more (they are present for sure, just not all the time), but I need this perfume. My fave out of the three I have tested, although I can highly recommend all three of them -they go straight to my “want list”!
graf77731 – :
Strong, sharp (but not unpleasantly so) fresh blackcurrant in the opening. Rhubarb joins soon and never gets as sour as rhubarb can be in perfume. Strong, vivid colors. Berries. Sweet, but in a more “natural” way, not candy like. Too sweet and sharp for me, but I’d much rather have people around wear this than the usual synthetic candy “fruity” perfumes.
Does remind me of Enchanted Forest, but Prakt smells like berries, not jam. I see no likeness to L’Ombre Dans L’Eau, comparing them next to each other.
Andrei Z – :
A great unisex-scent. On my skin I get Black currant leaf, black currant and woodsy notes. Not sweet black currant, but a great and a bit dark black currant notes.Elegant and longlasting with a nice projection from my skin. A must have and a must try.
After 2 hours Prakt becomes sweeter and my first thought is – similar to Lalique Amethyst, but Amethyst is more sweet.
En superb unisex-doft. På min hud får jag mest svartvinbärsblad och svarta vinbär med träiga noter i basen. En osöt svartvinbärsnot som är ljuvlig och aningens mörk. Elegant och hållbar med en trevlig utstrålning från huden. Ett måste och en doft man måste prova på.
Efter ett par timmar blir Prakt lite sötare och första tanken är – den är lik Lalique Amethyst – men Amethyst är än mer söt.
madman93 – :
Prakt is for me a feeling of joy! Late summer and a walk in the garden in the early morning with that lovely smell of fresch green and apples on the grass falling down under the night, there are black currant, rhubarb and that special rain note in the air. There is also musc, wood and earthy underthones. I really like this! It is a very natural scent.
юра11 – :
Prakt is a day in the garden. Fresh Black currant leafs lays on a bed of earth and wood together with sweetsour rhubarb and gardenberries.
A really fresh summerscent with long lasting longevity.
I love Prakt. It’s my favouritescent at the moment. 5/5
bibiks1 – :
Really nice green scent. Not loud but well balanced and rather versatile. The berry leaves note makes it somewhat reminscent of l’ombre dans l’eau but as there is no rose in Prakt it is a very different scent. Well worth giving a try.
vital-duben – :
Best in the line..
Love that fruity green in Prakt.
It has great sillage and projection.
But my taste prefer a little bit more sweetness in it.
8.5/10

I see that I have wandered into the guys part of the database, according to the votes, so, hello!
First of all, I’d like to thank fragrantica editors and Svensk Parfym for doing a giveaway, and I’m grateful for receiving a sample.
On impression: aggressive, radical, someone who commands attention, definitely much more of a traditional manly perfume, it could also work for girls who like to challenge social norms
On the scent: it starts off with a pungent green opening of leaves and a hint of fresh fruit. Then the musk starts to peek through the greenness. Only in the dry down does it start to smell like after the rain. The final notes are musky and humid.
On packaging: I got the 5 ml sample. The sprayer deliver 4 to 5 times the amount of what I usually get from full bottle sprayers.
On performance: partly due to the generous amount delivered by the sprayer, this is, in my modest opinion, a beast mode perfume. I had dinner and went to swim for half an hour and showered, and I can still smell the muskiness.
Personally, I was so ready to hate it in the beginning, partially because I’m new to the aromatic group (I’m a huge sweet floriental fan, um, hello!), partially because it smells like a dude. The greenness was a bit too much for me at first try. I wish it’s more of a Jo Malone strength perfume, but I can appreciate that some people will like the enormous sillage. I’m happy to have something that let me get out of my comfort zone, and I’m excited for the layering possibilities it brings.
LaDas – :
Got so excited with this new launch that I wanted to spread the word. Love the cassis… leafy… rhubarb… musk/ambergris…wood, musk. Great combo! Prakt has great staying power on my skin and clothes. A good +8 hours. Sillage is a good 1-2 m.
Irremkesehumnte – :
MR_B created a profile for “reviewing” this new fragrance brand. Not very credible. Take a look at his profile…
OLEG7373 – :
Prakt takes me back to lost summers in my grand parents lush garden in the country side, where we kids picked fresh gooseberries from the bushes, and my grandma made the best lemonades of rhubarbs and black currant from her own back yard.
Prakt takes all those memories and puts them in a bottle.
The quality of the natural ingredients used here are undeniable. One spray is as if you held all the ingrediants in your hands and smushed them all together. You can really feel the berries, rhubarb and cassis teasing your nose. All the notes blend so well together and creates a different kind of scent that is truly faithful to a swedish summer in the country side.
And like the other fragrances from Svensk Parfym, this is no weak sauce. Its easy to tell that the concentration of fragrant oils is really high. Prakt projects and lasts like few other summer scents.
GlultDattmawl – :
This amazing fragrance starts with a very natural and realistic sharp, green scent of black currant leaves. It smells kind of like you are rubbing a bunch of leaves between your hands and then you put the hands under your nose and inhale the scent.
It also has a very exciting tart scent that I guess is coming from black currant, gooseberry and rhubarb. I can’t say that I can sense that it is those tree notes that I get, but it has that lovely tart feeling that you can find in both black currants, goosberries and rhubarbs. This tart scent enhances the sharp green scent and gives it a completely new fruity dimension.
Later during the day a slightly dirty scent appears behind all of the green stuff and that makes it feel like you are in a summer garden with newly planted berry bushes. Over it all there is also a wet feeling that comes from the “rain note” that makes is smell like it has just been raining, so all the leaves on the bushes are covered in raindrops that sparkles in the sunlight.
This is a very interresting and realistic fragrance that I think some people might have a hard time to like, since it has a really sharp green scent. Just like black currant leaves actually has… But I love it and I am very happy that I ordered a bottle of it! I love when fragrances are so realistic that they really paints a picture in your mind, like this one does.
