Lemon curd in a bottle... but I am haunted by Baccarat Rouge
My experience with this perfume was initially pleasant, it's opening reminiscent of a candied lemon - presenting a tasteful balance of sweetness and citrus.
The dry down leaned into the sweetness - in an almost creamy way. The best way I could describe it would be like lemon curd, or a lemon meringue.
Unfortunately, to my nose I could detect a quality in the mid/dry down reminiscent of Baccarat Rouge - a fragrance I distain.
Now every time I smell this scent my mind jumps to Baccarat Rouge and now I cannot fully appreciate the fragrance.
I hope that by sharing my experience I have not put a worm in your ear, and that next time you smell this fragrance and enjoy it as is.
But to the Baccarat fans more power to you. Maybe I'm just crazy.
That’s funny once I smelled the BR 540 similarities in the dry down I got hype that didn’t have to spend upwards of $600 to smell like it again 🤣 it’s a polarizing DNA for sure.
