Brauseufos for €300??? A royal fragrance awakens childhood memories
During my test series through the collection of fragrances from the MFK Fragrance Awardrobe for men, I was probably most excited about the Baccarat Rouge by far. On the one hand I was fascinated by the blood-red bottle in the colour of an absolutist royal coat, on the other hand the price was as decadent as the colouring. I would have to pay about 300€ for a whole bottle if I wanted to call it my own. As part of the Wardrobe samples, 11 millilitres had now migrated into my fragrance collection for test purposes, the balance of the account is breathing a sigh of relief.
Already at the first test with a tiny spray I felt like I was back in my earliest childhood memories. There are certain scents and tastes that I strongly associate with very early childhood experiences. Usually they are culinary experiences, which have settled directly in the rearmost frontal lobe of my long-term memory. Every time I enjoy these smells and tastes again today, childhood scenes flash before my inner eye. For example the smell of Fanta from the small green glass bottles with the bulbous dents, which could only be drunk on holiday, or the taste of Frigeo shower sticks, a traditional component of the sweets bags at the outdoor kiosk. I rediscovered the shower note, the tingling cult candy in Kenzo "Power". The top note of Baccarat Rouge ExDP bears a striking resemblance to another ingredient of the outdoor pool treats. Each of the confectionery blends also always contained some of the effervescent UFOs, consisting of a sweetish eating paper wrapper and a tingling, slightly tingling filling. These Brauseufos, once bitten into, were the ones that immediately appeared to me in front of my inner eye when BR 540 first poured into my nose.
After one or two minutes the fragrance becomes darker and warmer, the bright, tingling sweetness merges into a noble heart note. Undoubtedly a creation of great class such as quality - saffron has long been in the foreground of the fragrance for me. Overall, the fragrance remains very sweet, the woods create only little spice. The purple-red colour of the bottle matches the ingredient perfectly, BR540 looks royal and raised. This fragrance is not an everyday fragrance, it needs a suitable ambience, it needs a big appearance, it demands a tailor-made robe from the wearer. I'd even say he needs a wearer in a red evening gown! The unisex classification is justified, but I can imagine the scent better on a lady at least Ü30 than on men. His projection seems too sweet and tempting to me. The Brauseufo of the top note has matured into an exquisite delicacy. For a good 7-8 hours the scent remains, it becomes increasingly warmer and somewhat less sweet in the course.
Apart from the Downton-Abbey evening on the couch, I wouldn't know of any environment that would be royal enough to apply it. And it's too bad for me, because I'm not an Earl of Grantham who wears a luxurious fragrance with a tweed suit, but relax with a blanket, Earl Grey tea or a single malt and shortbread in front of the TV.
Therefore the BR540 will leave my collection after two tests, because I don't know any reason for it yet. In addition, I still feel too young for this "very classic" fragrance, which seems to have fallen out of time. From a time when wearing purple was still the privilege of the nobility and when the Earl put on a dinner tuxedo and a luxury scent and did not indulge in joggers and cuddle blankets of his favorite series.
Bye bye Darlin - you always meet twice in life
