No, and that surprises people. Despite the name, Yann Vasnier built it as a dry, green woody scent: the hazelnut reads like green nut skin rather than roasted praline, sitting over cedar and a roasted-oak base. It is closer to a damp autumn forest than a dessert, which is why some expecting sweetness are caught off guard.

Some Basenotes users think so. The openings are quite different, but the dry, woody-smoky base here reminds a number of wearers of Aventus once it settles. It is a budget-friendly way to get a little of that dry woody feel, though the two are not twins by any means.
