About this deal

Nose proposes an olfactive diagnosis where 5 perfumes will be proposed among a list of 500 curated ones. It's a strange fragrance and with the exception of La Nuit Tresor, it's my most complimented date night perfume. I sprayed my bottle of Cloud Intense on one wrist and then blotted BR 540 onto the other and the scent profiles were indiscernible. It fades to a softy sweet, musky skin scent, eventually with just a single note of creamy ambroxan lingering. ALCOHOL; PARFUM (FRAGRANCE); TRIETHYL CITRATE; AQUA (WATER); ETHYLHEXYL METHOXYCINNAMATE; LIMONENE; ETHYLHEXYL SALICYLATE; BUTYL METHOXYDIBENZOYLMETHANE; BHT; BENZYL BENZOATE; LINALOOL; EUGENOL; BENZYL ALCOHOL.

Discovering that its new-found fame came courtesy of TikTok, an app that is considered one of the best ways to discover affordable beauty dupes, stunned me. ALCOHOL; PARFUM (FRAGRANCE); AQUA (WATER); DIPROPYLENE GLYCOL; ETHYLHEXYL METHOXYCINNAMATE; ETHYLHEXYL SALICYLATE; BUTYL METHOXYDIBENZOYLMETHANE; BHT; LIMONENE; BENZYL BENZOATE; LINALOOL; CI 19140 (YELLOW 5); CI 14700 (RED 4). Now that I’m in full swing of my fragrance addiction/journey to find the ultimate one for me, I thought I’d go back and revisit this, because so many people love this. I still haven't figured out the note that is causing the issue, but it is loud and prominent and drowns out everything else.His Mother died of cancer at a relatively young age - not long after the time I used to go round almost every day.

It's long lasting, it's memorable, it's like nothing I've smelled before (even though everyone smells like it). To me it smells like the interior of my mom’s old medicine cabinet, an inorganic, synthetic sweetness reminding me of Merbromim solutions mixed with several cough syrups. When isolated, it evokes the floral and very fresh delicacy of jasmine, with a slight lemony facet, like a slice of lemon dipped in a glass. I have a humble collection so far, but I still must say that this is the first review I am writing because it's the only fragrance that makes me emotional and passionate about a smell.Evidently some people can't detect the smell due to the size of the fragrant molecules relative to their olfactory receptors. I've given it a solid year to see if it's going to change or not, and it hasn't, so I'm considering decluttering it. Before using a Maison Francis Kurkdjian product, please read the ingredient list on its packaging to ensure that the ingredients are suiTable for your personal use.

It's not a bad fragrance but garners nowhere near the praise and hype given by influencers and YouTubers. Alcohol; Parfum (Fragrance); Aqua (Water); Dipropylene Glycol; Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate; Ethylhexyl Salicylate; Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane; Bht; Limonene; Benzyl Benzoate; Linalool; Ci 19140 (Yellow 5); Ci 14700 (Red 4). Citrus top notes are dominated by the sweetly juicy blood orange, the juice of which is evoked in the name of the fragrance. In its natural state, it comes into the composition of the scent of tea and jasmine, even if it is quite different, more airy, more luminous.Just like Santal 33, BR540 is a love-hate fragrance for me, and yes I will likely get a full bottle of it, just to sniff it from time to time. I used to have a really good friend when I was a teenager - he used to go out with my sister when I was younger and after they broke up I remained friends with him. I'm not sure if the dentist's office scent comes from the saffron, because I've noticed the same phenomenon happening in other saffron-heavy perfumes. It is because of this slightly odd talent we beauty editors have that our perfume collections comprise mostly of under-the-radar scents.

I wish it wasn't as popular as it is, both the original and the variations of this fragrance - unfortunately it gives me an immediate nausea. For example: Rosendo Mateu Nº 5 Floral, Amber, Sensual Musk (which he actually liked) smelt like latex and rubber gloves to some people, but not to him. I finished the bottle in under a year wearing it every day and it was my signature scent, but I think I won’t repurchase since it’s so generic and I’m almost sick of it ! Thankfully I live in a very small town where barely anyone wears fragrance and I will not smell like everyone I walk by …but TBH I don’t care. Excelling at creating well executed perfumes, Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Baccarat Rouge 540 edp spray boasts a unique oriental floral fragrance suitable for both men and women.Some people said they smell wet bandaids, and I can totally see how it would come across that way in certain circumstances. Drawing from the fragrance house's equestrian tailoring roots, this scent is Creed's ultimate interpretation of the vast country estates it holds dear to its heart. Coming from the pistil of a variety of crocuses, this most expensive spice in the world is nicknamed "red gold". Even in my country which isn't all that wealthy 6 times out of 10 when I smell a perfume outside I recognise it as BR540.
