Finally got a blind purchase from Maison Francis Kurkdjian - Baccarat Rouge 540 after months of build-up... I have no idea what to think now. Am I just noseblind?
I was so excited for this one because of the note description I found online (saffron, amberwood, cedar). This one is described as the perfect combination of luxury that people love to talk about on TikTok and Reddit and is called a "masterpiece" by many. Hence, I felt quite comfortable buying a decant.
But on my skin? This thing smells like a doctor's office and burnt cotton candy. Tried letting it sit for three hours, hoping for the legendary "magical" airy trail that people are raving about, but all I got was a slight hint of dental scrub and plastic. Don't really know if my skin chemistry or something else is making it not work for me.
Anyone else experienced a massive let-down from something highly recommended and considered a "safe luxury buy"? What is your fragrance regret of the year?
