Red Temptation Women Zara Eau de Parfum

I bought it by accident. I don't like Francis Kurkdjian, I never tried BR540, I knew it was a dupe, so I've just tried it once in a rush and forgot about it. Then I saw a 30ml bottle on sale for 2 euro and I bought it...

I can see why people love it, it smells like sugar and spice. It's sweet, but not childishly fruity sweet and not baker store vanilla sweet. It's dry and sharp. Amber, saffron are two base ingredients, they are very dry o their own, almost masculine spicy, with a burnt woody undertone. They make a base for a praline candy note, and create a nice contrast to it. In the end you have a sexy candy perfume, which is also very mature and dramatic thank to it's base. It's a confusing combo, very intriguing.

I also feel the strange medical note some mentioned here, but it lasts for 20 minutes, so no problem.

Still never tried BR540, still think FK is overrated, overhyped and overpriced, but this perfume is very nice. I also understand that it's very popular, but I think having a bottle and putting it on when everyone will forget about it in some years worth 25 euro that Zara is asking for it. I may buy a big bottle in the future just to have it and wear it in 2027 haha
