Red Temptation Women Eau de Parfum

BCR 540 gets cedar super dose

I fell for the hype and snatched a bottle when it was finally restocked despite not being a huge fan of the Baccarat in the first place. I was looking for a take on the original rather than the actual dupe, which at this price point...

Osmanthus

Molinard

A basket of apricots and a fresh cut bouquet on a summer morning

This osmanthus has a ghostly nature. It doesn't linger but rather continuously reappears as a fluffy innocent cloud. Lots of ripe apricot here. A light yet somehow rather saturated floral apricot I would...

Not overly original yet safe amber that leans masculine. Not too sweet, has a bit of musky freshness. Medium longevity and sillage.

It's mainly about coconut supported by a breezy ozonic/aquatic background. If you like freshies and coconut - this is for you.

Baccarat Rouge 540 (Extrait de Parfum) - Maison Francis Kurkdjian - 3 years ago

A thicker, more syrupy and on me - less medicinal version of the EDP. I prefer this one as it seems to have more "integrity", so to speak.

Grand Soir - Maison Francis Kurkdjian - 3 years ago

Rather heavy amber with noticeable patchouli in the background, sweet and rich. Can get cloying. Shines in the late - late drydown.

Oud (Extrait de Parfum) - Maison Francis Kurkdjian - 3 years ago

A dry vanillic almost powdery (not in a cosmetic sense) oud, with the lightest touch of (unlisted) rose. Oud & vanilla read almost 50/50.

Baccarat Rouge 540 (Eau de Parfum) - Maison Francis Kurkdjian - 3 years ago

Good performance ✓ Quality ingredients ✓ Recognisable ✓ Polarising ✓ Personal tolerance X (due to the dentist's accord).

Plain & simple: this is a very, very close dupe for NR For Her (the black bottle). Good for touch ups over the original or as a standalone.

Nomade (Eau de Parfum) - Chloé - 4 years ago

It is a nice and classy inoffensive chypre with a delicate fruity twist for everyday wear. Not a statement, rather mellow, good for office,

Very similar to Oud Orient but a bit less sweet.

Legni Fruttati - L'Erbolario - 5 years ago

The pear makes it somewhat distantly similar to Hugo Boss Deep Red, but this one is drier and more sweet. The dry-down is quite fresh.

In the search of perfect composition. Why music is closer to perfumery than we might think.

I was never at ease with hunting perfume by the note. There are several reasons for it. Firstly, I am not familiar with every note out there (can anybody tell me where I could possibly test out the hyraceum note?) and even the ones...
