Baccarat Rouge 540 Maison Francis Kurkdjian 2016 Eau de Parfum

When I left the house this morning and once again immersed my thoughts in the perfume world, I thought about the fact that I am still not quite satisfied with my collection. Somehow I miss the fragrance. The one that describes me. Quasi my signature scent. I pondered how the scent should smell. It must be woody. Preferably cedar wood, creamy but not too powdery, sweet but not too sweet. (my allday favourite is still the unfortunately totally hated Zadig&Voltaire For Her). But not so the fragrance should not smell like that ? Not so synthetic or violent. Delicate, woody, creamy, soft and sweet. Yes - this is how it should smell Well, and since I'm just crazy and addicted, I crashed into a perfumery right after work today. Not Douglas, no. And as I entered, a rather interesting looking lady came up to me. What are you looking for? And as I was telling the list of my perfume, my eyes fell on ROUGE540. I said: Oh, wow - I've heard a lot of great things about this one. She stopped, sprayed Creed. I smelled it half-assed. Yeah, it smells nice. I'd really like to smell rouge, though.
Ok ok - yes. That's great too. She stared at me. I wonder if I'm worthy of wearing this scent I was curious and almost worried that I would not like the scent because I have a strange nose. And then she sprayed and I lost myself. I smelled it, first very soft, sweet, slightly floral but only for a short time and then it became warmer and warmer and woody all at once. Ohjaaaa - cedar wood. And the rest, unfortunately I can hardly describe. The scent smells just like I spun it together this morning. Warm and woody but in my opinion not too masculine. It smells like forest (I don't associate the scent with the Sahara desert at all), like my home in the Erzgebirge. Of fir forest - no, not of pine slipper infusion - but of resin, this indescribable scent. After cold days and a chocolate at the fireplace, a little after a hot sauna. Even caramel?
After warmth and affection.
Yeah, that's definitely my scent
