Exceptional Aquat - requires a package insert
After my experience with Megamare today I have to write something about it. It was more by chance that I came across the scents of Orto Parisi. While surfing through the souk in the evening I noticed an offer from Seminalis. Some kind of residual filling from a sharing. Evaluation wasn't the bomb, but it was worth a test. A few days later the bottling arrived and I was hooked. Why this bad rating (Well, not that bad ;-) ) . In any case, I then came across a bottling of Megamare in the souk. Only just under 4ml, but what the heck. The first test had this wow moment. In my 2.5 years at Parfumo I have certainly tested a few hundred fragrances and only rarely has there been this "wow". Since there is no pyramid of scents and my nose is not so fine to decipher a scent, I would agree with the term "salty aquat". Well, even though I had only taken one sprayer, the rest of my family, as soon as it appeared downstairs in the living room, immediately responded. But not as hoped for "Oh, you smell great, what's that smell? I like it!", but more like "Whoa, what's that smell? Is that you? Fierce!" It was, as I said, only 1 sprayer ;-)! In the course of the evening the general rejection turned into a "Yes, now you can bear it quite well. Actually, it's okay." Anyway, a short time later the bottle moved into my home. By the way, I think the bottle and the whole packaging are quite successful. A sprayer towards the neck with an outstretched arm has proven to be a very good dosage. Yeah, sounds kind of crazy. What difference does it make how you spray the stuff on yourself? I somehow convince myself that the spray mist will be better distributed ;-)
Let's get to today's experience. Due to the weather situation today's carnival procession was cancelled and I went with my family to a relatively spontaneous, small celebration. Since the disguise somehow smelled like a year's cupboard, I allowed 2 sprayers with today. What can I say - the whole room smelled of me. I was already glad that the door to the outside was open all the time. Not that you misunderstand me, I like the scent and I like to smell it very much. But that was then somehow too much of the attention. Therefore, whatever you do, never do more than a spray!!!
I think that most "perfume smugglers" (is that how you say it? - laugh) don't like this scent, because it is too extreme, or is perceived as too extreme. I don't find it at all extreme as a fragrance. Sure, extraordinary, but not extreme.
You just have to be careful with the dosage. From my bottle I will probably fill about 30ml for the souk. The remaining 20ml will last for years if used twice a week.
So if you are looking for something extraordinary, you should consider a test. Some love him, others...

Wild at Heart
Hey. After nearly one and a half years in the forum now my first comment ;)
Every perfume newbie stumbles upon the name Kurkdijan during his first searches in the forum. It was the same with me. Since I experienced my scent socialization by Pieper or Douglas until I joined the perfume community, I didn't know most of the scents discussed here at all. And so as soon as a comment or statement inspired me and I thought "Hey! That sounds great", I ordered bottlings of the respective fragrances. Meanwhile hardly a week passes without any bottling. I'm really easy to inspire ;-)
Now to Baccarat Rouge. When I sprayed it on the back of my hand for the first time as a test, I was only sniffing for the rest of the day. How good and how different, than everything I had smelled so far, this smell smelled! Sure, he smells really cute, but he's so different. None of these sweet scents you often come across in gyms. As far as the individual scents are concerned, I have to say that unfortunately I am not allowed to smell anything. Others can do that much better, so I can't go into it at all.
I also think that the sex of the wearer doesn't play a role at all in this fragrance and that doesn't mean that everyone can wear it. With this fragrance it just has to fit! It's like an accessory that's the icing on the cake of your styling.
Maybe someone remembers the movie Wild at Heart by David Lynch. This road movie is about the love story between Sailor and Lula. Sailor was then impersonated by Nicolas Cage, who today is more likely to be seen in B movies. In any case, Sailor alias Nicolas Cage had the whole film to do with fleeing from the killer and above all: being incredibly cool! The most important thing for Sailor, besides Lula, was his snake leather jacket, which he wore throughout the film. It was a "symbol of my individuality and my belief in personal freedom" - what great words for a snake leather jacket ;). We can leave out the last part of the quote, but in terms of individuality, Baccarat Rouge is the snake leather jacket here. Not that Sailor would give the impression of smelling that way or using perfume at all. Except sweat and pomade there was probably not much ;)
Rather, it is individuality. In my opinion, Baccarat Rouge is so special that the division into male, female and unisex is no longer sufficient. It must fit one as a guy. You actually feel enveloped when you wear the scent, it surrounds you with an aura. And anyone who smells this scent knows this is not a 08/15 scent. This scent is special. He's cute, but by no means feminine. And in contrast to the snake leather jacket, which could only be worn in the dusty area of this road movie and which only Lula found really horny, Baccarat Rouge is really a place where this scent is often mentioned, because one thing this scent is certainly not, namely boring.
