Gharaam or my little prophecy
Meanwhile, I have come across many would-be Baccarat Rouge 540 fragrances.
Some accidentally or intentionally similar and perfectly acceptable, others rather unintentionally, endeavored or failed.
There are some that are more unisex than others, then others that lean well perceptibly to the more feminine or masculine side.
Gharaam by Swiss Arabian is my latest comparison.
Since the direction of the fragrance appeals to me in general, with me the Baccarat Rouge 540 so far but could not quite score and there were also always smaller or larger disturbing notes with many of his "competitors", the search remained unfinished until today.
Until today.
Because now I have found my "Personal Baccarat Rouge 540"!
Joy reigns!
While in the direct comparison BR540 comes rather restrained at me in momentum, Gharaam comes right to the (fragrance) thing. BR540 also seems to me a little sweeter and then emerges after a few minutes just this transformation with him, which makes me dislike him. It becomes very melancholic on my skin. Saffron is not the problem. I could well imagine it's the differently "portioned" parts of jasmine, cedar and amber that just have this effect on me. Especially when jasmine gets too "buttery", I get problems. Mugler's Angel also has such mood pushers in it for me, even though there are other suspects in a completely different scent. But the effect is still the same. And fortunately only a few fragrances have that effect on me. But if they have him, then nothing is to save, even after years of abstinence and renewed attempts not.
So while I'm blithely writing down my impressions here for just a few minutes, BR540 has already hit the valley of misery, and not just with said notes, but also with the sillage and longevity. It's just barely there, but just enough to literally rub its displeasure in my face. BR540 just doesn't like me. And when he's like this, I don't like him either!
And while he finally sneaks slowly backwards out the door away from one arm, Gharaam dances samba on the other!
Exuberantly yet stylishly he makes his rounds and lets his seductive scent swathes around my face and that even after hours, as if I had just let him out of the bottle.
Gharaam has distinctly perceptibly happier notes for me. Its essence is more cheerful and that is also infectious. The one or other droplet of fir resin does him good and his scent thereby runs like lubricated and over hours into the 2-digit range. On clothes even until the next wash.
At no time drops a note, everything remains linear and smooth.
The color of the fragrance water also reflects for me the fragrance impression. Golden as the sun it shines and I could even imagine that BR540 opponents might like the Gharaam, because it is just more cheerful and a bit more elegant.
Quite clear for me is also to classify his fragrance dance in the unisex area. How it eventually turns out depends on the person wearing it and their own skin scent.
After a while, when I run my nose very close over my skin, where the scent lies with its veil close over its warmth ... that's exactly where I perceive a subtle caramel note. Warm, noble and somehow delicious but not edible delicious, but just the highest fragrance pleasure.
Gharaam of Swiss Arabian has convinced me with quite great quality, perfect harmony of the individual notes, the extremely pleasant fragrance character and also the price. Here it is worth a few minutes longer to sit at the PC and compare. Then you can fish for a gem, which leaves a famous name in the shade and shines even in the sunlight.
Gharaam, I dare to predict that you are already one of my biggest fragrance discoveries of this year and remain so!
