Out of the pigeonhole thinking
Hype, hype and again hype.
That's what this fragrance has gotten in the last few years since it's been out.
Every Youtuber (the current reference next to forums, to bring the hype to life), has left out about this fragrance, whether positive or negative be put to one side. Francis Kurkdjian polarizes halt - fact
There is a fragrance that is on everyone's lips, a fragrance that you can not get past, so to speak, which is supposed to be sweet as cardboard, cotton candy to be exact.
And that's where I am: old school advocate, old values advocate, I would say relatively conservative. Just the opposite of baccarat rouge.
If everybody had something, I didn't have it. On principle, I often swim against the tide, don't like a lot of things most do, am a bit particular and like to keep to myself. Calm, never rushed, thoughtful, rarely spontaneous. Fragrances I wear only for me and not to please others or so that others say it smells nice.
Basically, you could now already end the review here, the attentive reader might think that the fragrance is torn apart by me in the air...

Sometimes chance plays into your cards and either you flop or you get the royal flush.
Yes you notice, the Baccarat Rouge EdP was going to be my Royal Flush.
A colleague orders samples from Parfumo, Louis Vuitton and Baccarat Rouge, the extrair mind you. The Extrait does not taste so to him, he gives it to me to test. I, completely biased by the hype, put a spritz on my forearm. The first thing I notice is that I can't help but think of my dentist. To be exact, the scenery there: sterile utensils, disinfectant, wound swabs / drains, and most importantly, the rubber disposable gloves. I'm dreading it.
With time it flattened out, but pleasant was something else.
Next day: "Come on, let's give you a second chance, everyone deserves it, even the dentist's office."
End of song - headache and a scrubbed arm. Wonderful. The stuff was still projecting afterwards. At work, oddly enough, I couldn't get away from the smell. Again and again I caught myself smelling my arm.
So weak he liked me to my astonishment, but could not classify whether he would be what.
But Parfumo is your friend and helper. So read comments and researched like a berserker.
Two days later, a bottling of the EdP's fluttered in.
I smelled the tester - Nothing.
I sprayed - Nothing.
Was that supposed to be it? I read everywhere only of bombs sillage would fill the rooms. I myself smelled for the time being - Nothing.
I got it to do with the fear, should I not be allowed to smell this fragrance, should the mean molecules deny it to my nose?
Hours passed and suddenly my eyes widened, my nostrils so-called the heavenly fragrance that now presented itself to you in fullness.
Precious saffron, sweet, tart woodiness, all perfectly matched.
What grabbed me is that the scent was never intrusive, sometimes there was, sometimes disappeared, but then pleased me again and again when he rose to my nose.
And now I was gobsmacked, should I, who didn't want to follow the hype, who swims against the tide...? yes... should I really weaken here?
Ask the best times the shipping department of my regular perfumery, they know it namely quite exactly ;-)
