Japanese Wagyu or Australian Wagyu?
The year is 2011; you just finished getting off at the local pharmacy and guess what baby: it's payday. you admire the fresh lineup as you head out of the barbershop, you got "niggas in Paris" and "Gucci Gucci" blaring from your iPod, freshly cut true religion jeans and a pair of Jordan 5s that you've been waiting 3 months for just the occasion to finally break these puppies out. for you see, tonight's your hot date with Kimberly; the chick that you have been trying to date for the last 3 years but to no avail. she used to claim that you were immature, that she was well beyond your years but she has seen how well you have taken care of yourself physically your hygiene, now you have a job and a bank account and she thinks to herself "okay he's an actual adult now let me give him a chance".

so you guys meet up and taking an off Broadway show, not really taking mental note of the chemistry between you two, just excited to be there. after the show (which as hard as you try you had no utter idea what the fuck was going on), you guys go out to get a bite to eat. Kimberly then proceeds to pull one of those moves where she has a clear idea what she wants to go and she's trying to nudge you in that direction without directly telling you "hey this is where I want to eat". so you guys pull up and looking at the rest of the people in the establishment, you aren't even sure if you meet the dress code but after talking a little bit to the maitre d, you guys are let in.

after she orders two lobster new burgs, three Manhattans, a martini, a shot of Louis XIV, you are filled with slight contempt as you are about to blow two weeks worth of paychecks on dinner, made worse by the fact that it looks like she's enjoying the food more than your company. she thanks you as you guys are leaving the establishment as she's 5 lb heavier and youre three hundred dollars lighter, looks up at you and says "hey I know of a great after party let's go". you get there and you're excited for what the night's going to bring, suddenly Kimberly gets hit with a "hey girl how have you been" and before you know it : boom she's disappeared into the crowd of hundreds of strangers none of which of you know.
as you sit there miserable, chin in palm, the realization hits you: I spent time eagle money she didn't enjoy herself and most importantly, I didn't either. "hi, my friend left me too. I'm Sasha" you look next to you and a woman decked out in a style that you usually do not like but for some reason she managed to pull off. you guys spend an hour at the after party just gabbing it up and it's like the whole world around you might as well not have existed cuz all you guys were focused on was each other in that moment in time.

as you're heading out of the party she make certain that you guys exchange contact information. over the next couple of months to a year, you guys link over playstation 5 matches, go to a few ball games, go out on random billiard dates, feeling stupid for spending so much time obsessing over Kimberly when it feels that Sasha was lying under your nose this whole time, yet you feel grateful necause Kim lead you to Sasha. you guys have fantastic chemistry, you guys enjoy each other's time, people enjoy seeing you two together: it feels like the stuff that keeps people together forever.
baccarat rouge 540 is Kimberly: dainty, sweet, very pretty, very well put together, everyones got eyes on her; very expensive. While Sasha is none other than spirito fiorentino; similar frame, a little more rugged (will probably box you and win), very much appreciated by those in the know; alao expensive but not anywhere near as much as kim.

finally I say all that to say this: both are tremendous fragrances you should just sample figure out which one suits you the best.

I Love You!
Sometimes I think that perfumes have different compositions - depending on the mood. I don't smell burnt rubber tires - thank God. Nor a swamp or dog pee. A little rubber, yes. And indeed, this scent reminds me of Haribos with gummy bears and licorice mix. (I love it!) And of course my dearly beloved BR540! In fact - and I might be the only one - I also detect Mancera's Instant Crush here!
A soft and high-quality leather jacket has also been mixed in here.
I hope this is a fitting review, as I often struggle with the individual notes. I don't pick up orange here and I'm very glad about that. Definitely the saffron, which might also contribute to the similarity to BR540?!

Overall, it has overtaken my favorite BR540, as this scent is more versatile, definitely more unisex, and has an extremely strong addictive potential for me!
Thanks to Spirito Fiorentino, I am now sorting through my modest collection, because this one came racing in with a leather jacket, cotton candy in hand on a brand new Harley at such a speed that I didn't need much time to adore this scent! Exactly, divine! I believe I have finally found my fragrance. BR540 and Spirito Fiorentino - haaaaach
Thank you for reading ???

The Perfume of Horror....
My headline says it all.

I received a sample today (unfortunately 10ml) and had to test it immediately.
I almost peed my pants from excitement. Unpacked the sample, one spray on my wrist (left, right done). OH MAN WHAT IS THAT SMELL? It smelled directly of swamp and burnt rubber tires (very burnt tires) and a bit of MFK 540. Totally shocked, I remembered a YouTuber who said you should give the scent about 30 minutes, then the burnt tires would burn off. Unfortunately, it only got worse. I actually felt nauseous :-(
On my skin, this burnt smell unfortunately remains mixed with something swampy and somehow also earthy.
There is a specific smell after a summer rain in the city, usually smelling of dog pee and warm earth. That's what I keep perceiving on my skin. Unfortunately, nothing sweet developed for me. MFK 540 was only very, very faint at the beginning.
Now, 8 hours later, my wrists still stink of it. Which speaks for its longevity.

I wanted to test it since Baccarat often ghosted on me, but I’d rather get the Extrait now.
Unfortunately, I don’t understand the enthusiasm from the YouTubers. I definitely do not want to smell like that and I don’t want my partner to smell it either. Totally terrible.

Very helpful Review 24  
Successful Departure from Perfection
Release date 2018, a completely justified average score of 8.5, yet no one has felt compelled to dedicate more than a mere 140 characters to this fragrance poem until today. If one were to take the time to investigate the reasons, one might conclude that an accusation of plagiarism could possibly be the reason for this shameful neglect.
However, I believe this approach simplifies the matter too much.

Those who have followed my contributions in the past, due to a lack of personal hobbies and too much free time, know that I have been constantly circling around Kurdjian's Baccarat Rouge. It is important for me to mention that I am referring to the Extrait version. This fragrance fascinates and moves me. It can quickly lift my spirits, yet I use it rarely enough to have always refrained from a full purchase.
But what is the reason for that?
Do I find it too feminine? Not at all ... in stark contrast to the EdP, I see it as completely genderless.

So what is it then?
Well, I think MFK has simply pushed perfection to such an extreme that I subconsciously miss a note that gives beauty a lovable "flaw."

Visually speaking, I am probably looking for something like Cindy Crawford's beauty mark, a distinctive reference point that, in very few cases, manages to make something absolutely beautiful even more beautiful through something seemingly "bad."

The absolute roundness of the original seems almost surreal, and it lacks the crucial impression that credibly stamps the original, let’s say, as if it were indeed from this Earth.

I always have the impression that I must be at least the best-dressed person in the world to create a coherent overall picture in connection with B540.
That sounds not only complicated - and probably silly - it is.
Thus, I am constantly searching for less perfect alternatives and am very pleased to have already found two.

The somewhat distant cousin Kalan is, in this context, what one would nowadays call the NoBrain alternative. It works all year round ... always, everywhere ... fits perfectly, but does not reach the quality of BR540, nor does it aim to.

Spirito Fiorentino, on the other hand, operates on absolutely equal footing, in the top premium segment, but has - warning, pun intended - Cindy's (liver) leather mark above the upper lip that I found so attractive in the 90s. It manages to not present the supposedly sought flaw as such, but transforms the perfect roundness into something like the perfect oval. Many may not believe a perfect oval is possible, as they only know round or square, but from my perspective, one can also act too ambitiously when trying to evoke a sensory impression.

Some see this additional leather twist as a disturbing factor; I have read about burnt rubber with the maximum raised eyebrow. However, for me, it is clear ... it’s not a bug, it’s a feature!

A very fairly priced bottle is currently on its way to me.
The hope is very high that I have found the perfect imperfect fragrance. The 10 disguised as a 9, which gives me significantly more range of use while remaining special enough to maintain absolute equality.

"You smell really intense, but it's so great"
Spirito Fiorentino first made its way to me last year in a package with various samples. At that time, I wasn't aware of what to expect from this fragrance. Once it arrived, I eagerly sprayed it on a test strip, waited a moment, and sniffed: The first impression hit me like a ton of bricks, and I initially thought, "Wow, this just smells like pure alcohol, how can anyone like this?" A bit disappointed, I waited a few hours, but even then I couldn't find anything appealing about the scent on the strip, which is why the sample ended up back in the drawer. Big mistake! Some time later, I tested it again, this time on my skin, where all the nuances of this wonderful fragrance creation began to reveal themselves to me. Smoky, sweet with a gently resonating leather note and a beautifully balanced saffron. An absolute dream, how could I have misjudged it so badly on the test strip? Bought it immediately.
The bottle is a real eye-catcher and absolutely high-quality, which you can expect in this price range. Longevity and sillage are really good on my skin. The scent projects extremely strong for at least 4 hours, then becomes a bit closer to the skin, but is still well perceivable for 10-14 hours. It lasts forever on clothing. A true beast even with fewer sprays.
With this fragrance, you truly draw attention to yourself and make a statement. I wore it at a birthday party last summer and was really approached very often, simply because it is really exciting, unique, and above all potent. Hence the quote from the title.
In summary, one can say that for your money, you get a true masterpiece from the house of Tiziana Terenzi. It certainly won't appeal to everyone, so definitely test it beforehand (best on the skin ;-) )!

A leathery BR540. Not so sweet and more appropriate for men than the original BR540. I like the twist with the leather-woody notes.

Spirito Fiorentino starts sweet and very leathery. I get some raspberry and burned sugar. The saffron is beautiful and there is a BR540 vibe

Obligatory Rougere offering - with a pleasant twist of mildly spiced leather. The core still disagrees with me, but an honest twist is nice.

Not so bad than BR540 but definitely the similar style. Not so potent and headache inducing. I don't like any scents which reminds me of BR

Screeching synthetic saffron woods, indistinguishable from every other frag like this

BR540 with a hospital vibe.

A dry and smooth, slightly sweet, spicy-woody Fall fragrance, with a rather pungent and rubbery, smoky-leathery opening. More masculine.

good quality, leathery, less sweeter take on the BR540 DNA; value at discounters for a 100ml extrait gives this a huge advantage over BR

Very floral, fine saffron-orange combo, light-spicy leather and opulent. But not harsh at all.
