We Do Know Each Other
When you dive into the world of niche perfumes, there's one name you can't escape - Baccarat Rouge 540.
On YT, Parfumo, and also Instagram, it is hyped endlessly.
And although I've acquired several dozen samples of perfumes that are celebrated to varying degrees over the past few months, BR540 was never among them, even though I had it on my radar.
In my last sample post (thanks to ScentVibes at this point), it was finally included.
When I sprayed it for the first time yesterday, I naturally had high expectations regarding the WOW factor, thanks to the hype.
However, within a second, I could name about 10 people from my circle who wear this perfume. So we had known each other long before my test. The WOW moment turned into an AHA moment.
I'll try to describe it, although many of my predecessors could probably do this better.
First, the saffron greets me, followed by a warming, slightly floral undertone combined with the almond.
What do I mean by first - it actually stays that way until the end. The sweetness does increase significantly after a short time, but it somehow remains "airy" even though it is really very sweet.
Longevity and sillage - impressive and unmatched. Really top-notch.
I don't know the EdP, but I believe the difference isn't that gigantic here.
I'm neither disappointed nor fascinated - I can understand the hype because it does smell unique in a certain way.
But I'm fine with being able to join the conversation; I don't need to own it in any form.
I'd rather stick with Grand Soir - which truly fascinates me.
But it smells very good and performs great - so to all who enjoy it: Treat yourselves, my dears!
